Too bad it took them years and only hardcore clanners play anymore.

It's really striking how much better the No Mercy maps and original characters are. Here's the level design for L4D2: mud, mud, brown, tons of debris you get stuck on in the dark. The outdoor daylight parts are the only decent areas.

Still not fixed: the uselessness of smokers and jockeys for 95% of every map.
How to win at versus: be the team that gets more charger/spitter/boomer spawns. Get killed as fast as possible whenever you draw smoker/jockey/hunter so you can get to the useful zombies quicker.

More still not fixed: versus difficulty being locked at normal. Remember all the pre release gameplay footage? The series seemed designed by and for people who had never played an FPS in their life. Remember early in L4D's release where you could change versus difficulty through the console and how everyone had a blast on advanced setting? Good job Valve catching that and locking it back at normal. Have fun waiting for a mutation mode that's fun and have fun before they yank it away again. Between this and TF2, Valve is most asinine company in history when it comes to online multiplayer and new content. This is the company that's going to release DotA 2?


Never played on Versus, I'll take your word on the busted infected. :(

I love l4d2's levels though. Although the "how can you tell it's post apocalypse in the south?" jokes are too old, even for me. Maybe not for tdarcos though. Been playing on the old maps with the new guns and specials though, love it. Having both the city scape and southern outdoors expanse to choose from without going backward to the old stuff is great.

So, playing this most weekends until September when Borderlands (supposedly) comes out.
