Why do most people preffer L4D2 over L4D1 ?

[√Yan≈]

I want your opinions on this.

I assume you mean the campaigns? For me I prefer the variety in them a lot more than I do the L4D1 campaigns in terms of setting. L4D1 was filled with a lot of city or suburb settings at night, not that it's bad but some variety would be nice. L4D2 has a bit more such as starting out in a hotel and ending in a mall, deserted highway to concert, hell even reaching back to where you started is interesting in itself.

Crescendo events and different finales add to the variety as well, you can have the traditional hold out finales (Rain, Swamp, and Carnival for example), the scavenge finales or the Parish rush to the escape vehicle, it's just more variety and more to do than L4D1 had.

Also I personally enjoy the banter the L4D2 team has over the original survivors.

Because it is newer..
Despite left4dead2 having the old levels(which is a joke, they changed the lay out in all of them.), left4dead1 is far better.

First game was more serious, with its share of humor..
Second game is just a quickly thrown together mess.. they could of done alot better if they focused more on it.

Like the fact a charger can hit you while missing you, but go through you while hitting you perfectly.
They made the tank less scary to face, witchs are less sensitive to anything. You can dry hump her and she will just keep growling.

You molly a tank in first game, he speeds up.
You molly him in this game, you can out run him until he burns to death or times out.

Only thing they improved was the hordes seem to be bigger in size in the second game.

I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate this so much.

lol.

Because l4d2 is biased toward survivors, tonnes of throwables / consumables tier 2 and melee - this is the crux of l4d2.

L4d1 was more about team orientated play vs rambo bhop emos that l4d2 has?

You need to rent an l4d2 server. Make the witch alot more sensitive. Return the speed fire boost for tank. And make the tank not being slowed down by bullets as a little twist.

While you're at it, you should also increase boomers vomit range a bit, and make his exploding radius bigger.

Why rent a server, when I could just turn on the first game?

I think the smoker tongue is longer too.

Because the biggest amount of players, are having their nests in l4d2.
And I were generally talking about campaign mode.

l4d1 majority only fixes the tank on fire speed bost, and a little more sensitive witch.

I don't play online unless with friends anyway. lol.
The l4d2 public players are too toxic to deal with.
And l4d1 is pretty much trolls now.

I see your points, and they are valid.

So I could change direction by saying it like this: If you want more fun playing with your friends, get a server and change it in such a way, that it suits your needs :D

But then again, if you only play l4d1 with your friends, the desire for getting an server, is a bit smaller.

[Raven]

Yo is the L4D1 mutation any faithful to the first game?

[Windi Gimcrack.]

I guess because of the melee system most of all and I think it had vs first, not sure on that though.

[Raven]

Actually L4D1 did have versus.

[Windi Gimcrack.]

Oh I know it does, I couldn't remember if it had it all along though.
