L4D 2 annouced.

[Zimbabwe Justice]

Dead Center alone beats the living shit out of anything in l4d.


Running through a flaming building, everyone meeting for the first time, GRABBIN COLA, the finale... Awesome as hell.

[Moosey]

Scavenge mode is fucking awesome, better than plain versus imo.

[Kaisha]

I'm still waiting for the rest of my group, but anyone who has played it on expert yet...is it as ridiculously easy as the demo was? I hope it's the case where they ramp up expert like they did with the first one, but I'm just curious to know if they did or not, because with 3/4 PCs on the demo, it wasn't even a challenge for the most part.

It was with my group last night on Midnight Carnival. I think the problem with the demo is that it looked like both levels were cropped from the full ones (can't confirm as I'm saving that campaign for last), as all the ones I played last night were huge in comparison....


And yeah, Scavenge mode is awesome. I hope they plan to add more versus modes to the game like that, to shake things up.

[Akucaen]

The first two levels are very small in comparison to the rest of the parish. Maps three and four are pretty damn expansive, but the bridge is fairly small.

Something is seriously fucked on the 360 as certain achievements aren't being given when they are clearly earned. Had it twice happen now with the melee Survival achievement and just now in the finale of Dead Center.

Yeah I think tank burger is glitched on the PC. Me and a friend have killed tanks with melee weapons and it won't give.

Just got it earlier myself.

Anyone manage to see the old L4D crew running around yet? I really wanna know if that screen shot on Kotaku is real or not.

It's been proven to be a fake.

Me and a few friends cosplayed for the midnight release. I was the hunter.

No Louis or Bill!? What is wrong with you people.

[Dezzimal]

Louis is dead center sir.

Louis is dead center sir.

wut?

So we figured out that apparently if you don't survive the finale then you don't get the achievement for clearing that scenario. Anyone confirm this means all 4 people have to make it on the rescue vehicle in expert + expert/realism for it to count towards your clear? If so this is going to be a fucking headache.

Guardian Gnome was one of the funniest/most annoying fucking achievements ever as well.

Didn't play L4D1? You have to survive and get to the rescue vehicle alive. I assume it's the same for expert and realism as well, wouldn't make sense otherwise.

From what I've seen, only those who survive it get the achievement.

In my last group, one of our buddies came in mid-campaign, so he didn't get it, and I died during the gtfo phase during finale, so I didn't get it either, but the other two who've been with us since the start got it.

Kinda blows since it was on Swamp Fever, and so far that's my least favourite campaign.

I did play L4D1 and it was 100% not the case for expert. In the four expert clears we had, only once did more than two people make it on the vehicle. I also died the first time we ever cleared No Mercy and my achievement still popped, so unless there was a patch at some point, you could get campaign clears without hitting the rescue vehicle.

[Demosthenes]

Man, this game is making me rage.

[TacoTaru]

I really can't tell if my friends and I are out of practice or this game is extraordinarily harder than the first, but we ended up raging into Normal last night from Expert just to finish. <_<

It is harder. Playing with idiots does not help. I have sworn off playing with people I don't know till all the hype dies down. Also you did have to be alive to get achievements in the first game.
