QUOTE New special infected change the way you play the charger effectively breaks up groups, so no more corner camping since he'll charge into you and send you all flying. If it is then all well and good, but don't expect me to buy it. It's like L4D2 is going to be some sort of testing phase for 'HL2 Episode 3 co-op mode'. And I still don't understand why a game that is basically a hybridised multiplayer game and that will be played over and over again really needs to invest so much in a story. What I am trying to understand is why L4D2 is not an expansion pack. Everything else that could be done on the same engine was an expansion pack.

Seriously, did anyone actually read any of the previews, or did they just watch the videos? This isn't just new maps + new weapons models packaged as a sequel. Even the witch now actively wanders around rather than sitting in a corner (on the day maps).

New special infected change the way you play the charger effectively breaks up groups, so no more corner camping since he'll charge into you and send you all flying. The AI director has been revamped and updated, so that rather than just throwing more zombies at you when you're doing good, it can change the layout of the map, forcing you to take longer routes. The character interaction, a favourite part of L4D, has been expanded upon and the characters grow as personalities as they progress through the game. There's actually an overarching storyline for the campaigns this time, rather than just 4 (or in the case of L4D2, 5) campaigns with no relationship to each other. They've even structured the overall campaign differently.ДЄll the campaigns have survival, versus and co-op.

It's not just some extra maps that could've been added in free in an update. The difference between *any* game and its sequel can be chalked up to new maps, new weapons, new enemies etc. L4D is the beta / extended playtest for L4D2. L4D2 is the game that L4D should've been. This, to me, makes it feel like the original L4D is basically just a beta that we got conned into paying for. And yet, in that relatively short timespan, it's already looking to be a significantly better game than the original.

It is being released just a few months after the first large update for L4D.

This new L4D is being released just under a year after the original L4D was released (literally one day less than a year). My reasoning is confusing even to myself, so let me try and explain. Probably more of a game than L4D was.ДЄnd it's *that* that is annoying me. corner humping) and melee weapons etc etc. Basic gameplay changes that deal with some of the more annoying aspects of L4D (i.e. A new, unknown game mode, a few new special infected, only one of which we've seen. Hints that we'll see the start of the infection (one of the campaigns/maps is set in a city before the infection starts, apparently). Hints that the characters grow/change as they progress (in personality). A progressive storyline as opposed to four random campaigns that are not connected.

4 new characters, complete with new voice acting. L4D2 sounds like a good game, a complete new game.ДҐ whole, new campaigns.
