Tbh, as I've described it to my friends. Its like going from the first game being atmospheric, moody and scarey like Alien, to becoming like a Simpsons cartoon. Its not scarey and its not hard any more. You dont get a sense of danger or fear.

Absolutely agree. Probably going to cancel my order.

I noticed that as well, L4D2 does seem a fair amount better in some ways. Of course the day time level probably wasn't the best level to put in a zombie killing game, but ah well. I prefer these characters to the previous lot, although I miss Zoe from the first. Coach (aka Uncle Phil) more than makes up for it though

LOL uncle phil, we call him that too
and nick = young robert deniro
cant remember who we called ellis.
though i agree the old characters will be missed.

but yea, played the demo a few times, then being hyped on it we jumped into some VS on l4d1, and seemed so much more clunky, and the corner camping made me weep, roll on chargers and spitters to break them up.

and with the daylight level i liked it, made a nice change and the abandoned town gave it a nice (if different atmosphere) the few times with no zombies left erie, plus wandering witch= scary. the hedge maze and the gauntlet near the end of the second level were horrible with the wandering witch.

you're aware the other 4 campaigns are in the dark still right?

Just hope the single player lasts longer than the first, just got that and completed in 2 hours, well dissapointed.

The demo's not on my Steam. Is there something special that I need to do?

Try updating Steam. I had to update it before I could download.

buying l4d for single player is like buying counter strike for single player.

the SP element is only there so you can learn the basics without embarrassing yourself.

Pretty disapointed that people aren't to impressed by this was looking forward to it.

I literally just had my first very fun moment. I managed to get split from my team and ran into a charger in the small rooms at back of bar (1st map) I **** myself movie style and ended up trying to open the wrong doors to run the f away.... great fun. now if only everything else wasn't so bad
