Author Topic: L4D1, or 2  (Read 2966 times)

I prefer Left 4 Dead more than Left 4 Dead 2, because they just rushed to get 2 out.

They didn't put as much love or thought into all of the maps/specail infected.

Vote and explain why you like one over the other.
Please, no flaming other peoples opinions.

I like the Left 4 Dead Survivors more.
Other than that it's L4D2.

I like the story arc of L4D2 when played in order, but I like the characters of L4D1 more.

Indeed.
Too bad the campaigns don't come together so well in L4D1.
Except for No Mercy - Crash Course - Death Toll, because Crash Course was basically just supposed to connect the two.

I prefer L4D2 simply because of the gameplay improvements.



Exoyo if you listened to the L4D2 Developer Commentaries you would see that they put a ton of effort into L4D2.

This is a stupid statement. The new maps are way more unique and have more variety than the originals, as well as having more interesting features (carnival gnome, carnival games, heavy rainfall, running crescendos, running finale, scavenger finale, persistent levels (hard rain), jukeboxes, the alarm car filled junkyard, the variable paths, witch filled areas in the sugar mill, et cetera)

The new special infected were carefully made to discourage the old tactic of sitting in a corner meleeing and shooting; this is very clear. I'm not exactly sure where to place the jockey but I think it's something to the effect of getting people who run ahead or taking out teams that let their players fall behind.

The new items and gamemodes are just icing on the cake. I think most of the L4D2 hate boils down to
1) it wasn't free and it's easy to write off just how much they added because of how fast it came out
2) The new survivors
3) THE LIGHT IT BURNS


L4D1, since it was unique.

I think L4D2 is too similiar, too soon. I didn't enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed L4D1

The l4d2 characters have more personality and just overall good gameplay improvements

This reminds of when Menen told me L4D was better because it "had an actual plot".

bahahahahaha
