I have decided to get it, on the base of i did love the first and everyone i spoke to who were/are die hard l4d fans have said theres enough there to give it a shot.

Now i just gota wait till midnight to play it

What about Versus and matchmaking?

Campaigns are fun to do in co-op twice...Once to get acquainted, once on expert. Past that point, which is likely to be at the 10 hours mark, you will be playing Versus. It's importance should not be underrated.

Whereas it was in the original. Where it was terribly flawed, I might add. One of the reasons the game lost popularity so fast that it was nigh impossible to get enough people for a friendly Versus match only three months in.

Which brings us to why a Versus game mustn't have had any randoms in it - matchmaking. People quitting left and right, on both teams - if you managed to play a game from start to finale without most of the teams changing at least once, then you should see about buying some lottery tickets. Team automatch was promised but never came, and Versus is borderline worthless without it...

No offense to anyone, but why do I get the feeling everyone will have forgotten about this game in 4 months time?

I dunno i think realism and vs have enough to keep it going for some time maybe you're right though.. coop games seem to lose interest after so long. I still havn't tried survival to see if they've changed anything, but we shall see

Cant help but get the feeling this would be great fun 6 vs 6.

Still haven't tried scavenge or realism, enjoying versus when I can find a good game, full of twats, rage quitters and griefers already though.

Bored of co-op after 2 days.

Emberstrife nailed it imo. The community will make or break this game, but it needs valve to implement team matching.

Team matching has been implemented.

Dirty Jesus has no time for formalities; he steps into threads and swings a solid hammer of facts.

I thought it just picked another random team for you to play with? If not then fingers crossed it takes off better than L4D.

I must admit i have really enjoyed my time playing it so far, feels more like a challege then just sit in a corner and spamming me shotty.

Defo don't regret buying it at all.

Haha nice.

I concur with Jesus, this game is a whole lotta fun now and I can see it remaining that way for just as long as the first one.

Also, Hard Rain made me squeal like a tiny child in terror. A game like that is well worth the moolah.
