Ok, maybe not perfect but I still think MW2 added a lot more to MW than L4D added to L4D2.

Don’t forget the underused System Link.

Technically, L4D2 takes place during the same time as L4D1.

In this case, he might be right, but he also said on a recent episode of Podtoid that anyone who cared about whether games ran at 30 fps or 60 fps was a ‘f***ing moron’ (or words to that effect). He did this shortly after saying that Heavenly Sword ‘played like sh*t’. Instead of throwing insults around he could inform himself a bit better, then he might know that frame rate has a direct impact on the responsiveness of the controls. I’m guessing that won’t happen anytime soon though.

Sure. F*cking idiot is uncalled for, but he’s right. Thinking that L4D2 is an expansion released as a sequel is just stupid.

Jim Sterling thinks anyone who disagrees with anything he says is a ‘f***ing idiot’ though. He’s nice like that.

Read this article. It sums it up nicely. But I agree, L4D2 is more valiue for money than MW2. That game was just a rehash of old content.

Let’s face it, no one would be complaining if this exact same game was released by Activision. It’s just that no-one expects this from Valve, but gladly takes it from Activision.

I love this game. Can’t wait for all the mods and such, though that doesn’t apply to the 360 version of course.

Thats right. Plus if you do Vs. or scavenge then you add in people who play as the special infected too.

Yes, that’s a price you pay by cutting one game in two. Something can be improved, but some high cards are already wasted and are needed to be replaced by something worse. Overcomplicating doesn’t help too. I guess it will take some time and some will to get used to the switch. The only good point is you get something fresh.

Ah, very interesting. I am now sitting up and taking notice. Cheers, matey.

Equally, thanks Lfc-Gaz. So that makes 4 player online? (2 of you on each console).

There is splitscreen co-op in the game, me and my brother play all the time =)

Am I to assume this isn’t split-screen co-op?

i didn’t buy mw2, and i agree, there’s really not much in l4d2 that needed a whole new game.
but then considering the way the original was structured any sequel that used the same structure would feel like little more than a mission pack.
maybe if they added a proper story mode it would have been a true sequel, and maybe you wouldn’t have to load small levels every five minutes.
but then valve don’t seem to know how to do streaming levels.

I wouldn’t go as far to say MW is perfect because no game is perfect. There are always little niggles even in the best of games. I would also say that MW2 didn’t improve on the graphics much either.
