No one hasn't made a thread for this, seriously?
Anyway, the demo is finally out for both PC and X360 users. Should be out next week for those who hadn't pre ordered. Got a couple of hours of play and this is what I think:
Graphics:
Sound:
Gameplay:
*compared to L4D1.
Before the boycott: I was never boycotting L4d2, but I did agree with much of their criticism laid across Valve due to their handling of L4D1. I have been on a bit of a black out on this game, but from what I saw it looked fun but ultimately a expansion pack.
After the Demo: Describing this game as a 'expansion pack' is incorrect due to the amount of new content and polish this game has to it. I can see people playing for ages, especially with all of the new game modes such as realism and scavenger. Also I'm getting it for free.
Anyway, the demo is finally out for both PC and X360 users. Should be out next week for those who hadn't pre ordered. Got a couple of hours of play and this is what I think:
Graphics:
- Looks good generally very nice
- Zombies look better with better variety, gib effects are also improved*
- Environments and graphical effeccts look better*
- For PC users: Runs pretty much exactly the same as L4D1 specs/fps wise
Sound:
- New style music is very awesome.
- Special infected have had their sounds reworked and given more depth
- Weapons sound loud and weighty
- Characters have plenty of voice clips and generally pretty humorous
Gameplay:
- Best way to describe this game is that it is very polished version of L4D1
- Weapons feel more weighty and with more impact. They have different shooting habbits and they're not as easy to use
- Meleeing is fun and provides a good alternative for close combat - fighting a witch with a frying pan is pretty kinky
- The new special infected keeps the experienced fresh and different
- Bigger variety of weapons, health packs and grenades keeps your playstyle different.
- Overall, very fun
