I loved L4D, not so much L4D2. While it's pretty similar I felt the settings in the first felt more zombie movie-esque whereas in #2 they didn't. Plus the characters in 1 were better.

The first game was set at night whereas the second was during the day which I think had a dramatic effect on the atmosphere.

Agree with both of you. I was still enjoying the first game with friends when the second one dropped (only a year later), so it seemed a bit pointless as well.

The website seems to be bugged and will not let me register . If anyone has a spare key that would be great as I loved Left4dead.

Seems to be a good few people experiencing the same, according to reddit. They're recommending trying on Turtle Rock's Discord.

They have mailed the keys out apparently but I did not get one. If anyone has spare that would be super.

A few people on reddit gave away their key. You might get lucky with others doing the same.

Yep been trying on reddit , seems to be a big demand for these keys.

Yeah, I'd be looking for one myself except the country I live in isn't part of the alpha.

Another huge fan of Left for Dead! Awesome to see another being made so to speak. Sign me up!

The only thing missing from an immersion perspective was no other friendly players/AI seen on the maps in the originals. From an atmospheric point of view, it would have made a huge difference, to join team mates or even see other 'friendlies' camped out on top of buildings etc. I always preferred L4D 1 over 2, both are awesome though.

There's going to be 8 humans (or cleaners) to choose from, so I wonder might there be a new additional VS mode with two teams of humans fighting it out....

Anyway, here's JakFrags' thoughts for those who care lol

Got my key, looking forward to this. Btw you can give out 2 invites to friends.

I've added it to steam, had a download in the KB range - I assume that means they update it with the game at some point?
