Left 4 Dead 2

I was told MW2 is over hyped. I admit I have not played it myself and while I liked COD4, it got old for me.

I will end up buying it most likely, when the price goes down.

It's a great game, worth buying I'd say. I got bored of cod4 too, and I'll probably get bored of this one, but it should last awhile anyway.

That is why I bought COD4 when it was only $30....

I did not buy CODWaW either. I like L4D a lot since it is pretty unique game play. L4D2 is definitely a ton harder and way improved AI.
 
The biggest complaint I get is that MW2 has low recoil and too large of hit boxes. I was told it was for noobs, to quote a friend of mine on steam.

I haven't played it yet though.

MW2 for PC has a 2/5 star rating on Amazon

lets be fair, the majority of PC gamers spend quite a while on the thing called the internet, and as console gamers are usually pretty casual players who spend time on their xbox or PS3, badmouthing the one that they don't have and both bad mouthing PC gamers whenever someone says "I game on my PC, not my console", they don't tend to use the internet an aweful lot compared to PC gamers, other than to go on facebook and virtually socialise and feel they are up to date with technology bceause they can change their status.

Now, go to IW forums, look at this thread, hell just do a google search for modern warfare 2, I would imagine on the first page atleast 3 or 4 of them would have some PC gamer slagging off the lack of mods, dedi servers, clan support, console etc etc.

That game abuse is on the internet, amazon and its ratings is on the internet, Pc gamers are on the internet, guess why the rating is so low...on the internet ;)

I think when firing from the hip it is actually much less accurate than CoD4, down sights though, the opposite, I know on CoD4 and WaW just about wherever your sights were, the bullets would land, but on MW2 the recoil is nil on just about every gun, especially snipers (including semi-auto snipers!!) and bullets go within a 10 pixel radius of the red dot, iron sights, whatever you are using to aim

I played through that heavy rain campaign last night and holy crap, is that level bad ass. I mean the sounds the rain makes when you are outside or inside is awesome, and the rain storms man scary stuff.

This game also has improved performance. I am running 1680 x 1050 with everything on high level plus max AA, and I am rocking 80+ fps. I mean it never lagged on me once.

The new director AI is a lot less forgiving as well. This game just got a lot harder. I find that normal in L4D2 is about on par with expert on L4D 1. Not quite as hard as expert on L4D1, but advanced and expert on L4D 2 are both harder than L4D1.

I noticed that the director also seemed to pick on the most injured person. No idea if that was coincidence or that it really does that.

Yay someone else who likes this game. I finished the whole thing and there are some creepy parts. Like going through the carnival is just... holy crap.

And yes it is harder, I think it is because of the new AI director and such.
Plus I think it is meant to pick on the most injured person probably because they are the slowest and zombies like blood?

This.


And guys remember this is a L4D2 thread not MW2
 
I've only played the game a bit, I was too busy fixing my new pc :(

butt I'd say its a very good game, def worth 40 bones, 50 is a lot.... Its hard to say :D
 
just finished playing the demo here's my thoughts:

1) single player campaign is better than online. most peeps are cool, but there was this one guy that kept going ahead of us to hide and teh zombies overwhelmed us. jaskass. the ai was pretty good at sticking together and helped me when i was down. nice :)

B) graphics are mediocre for a 2009 game. i know, i know, graphics aren't everything. but i think a good looking zombie would add more to the atmosphere of the game than a shitty looking one. :gun:

edit: actually, the graphics aren't too bad. it's a fast pace game, the only time you notice the graphics is when you're reloading and patching yourself up. meh

cuatro: finding random weapons at random spots didn't make much sense. they should probably be at specific waypoints, not just thrown about in the street. :confused:

V - not worth a 'new game' price. it's basically zombie panic! with lots more zombies. ;) i think i'll pass on this one.

I love this game and it is worth $50 but if you can get it for lower than do it.
Steam is having a 25% off soon or now or something like that.
