worth it in the hb bundle?
Does this or will this be moddable as l4d/l4d2? Is the sp camp worth a play for roughly $2.50

Worth it...does not matter that it can not be modded.
Fun Solo or Co-op with decent content for the sale price and very enjoyable.
Bundle is very much worth it not just this game alone but the rest that comes along with it.
Gameplay is fun to say the least but not really much mod compare to L4D.

I'd say nay since you still need to buy the season pass to unlock the rest of the content.

if you have 3 friends to play this together, yes
2.5 is very worth it
if not, no.

nah, it's ♥♥♥♥ and nothing like L4D.

it's alright. Release was kinda overtuned and unpolished but they did fix many issues and add content. Match making isn't so great either so it's better with friends, also cuz the nature of higher difficulties will make it more enjoyable that way too.

We must be playing different games then. This is extremely alike to L4D, but also kinda different in its own way.

The game is fine and, at this moment, it's a good PvE player zombies horde focused shooter.
Personally, I have more fun playing this than Vanilla L4D and L4D2.

Still, the game does have its own set of issues which, in many cases, comes from the Cross-Platform system. If you play with Cross-Platform enabled, be ready for quite a big chance that you'll be mixed with:

- PS5 players with the worse microphone you have ever heard.
Seriously, I could bleed from my ears from listening to any player on the PS5 that uses the built-in microphone on the PS5 controller. It's basically a unormalized raw audio signal and the PS5 game client doesn't fix the audio before sending it to your ears.

For Xbox Users, you'll often be playing with players who are in a Xbox group (Party system on Xbox) and the voices are not send to other consoles or PC client in such cases. I often join a group of 2-3 Xbox player (they got the Xbox icon) and they are clearly speaking together while doing some stuff while I hear nothing.

- Kids... Kids everywhere. (Or people who acts like kids)
Sometimes, I wonder how old are some player with whom I play. There are games where I get to play with console players who seems to have 0 understanding of the game and yet they aren't playing on recruit (lowest) difficulty. I mean when I notice nobody is using a melee build, so I fill it... then someone who use Doc can only take 1 support item (meaning their cards are crap/not set yet) and only heal herself on top of getting surrounded by herself in the middle of nowhere and she ends up being revived the most out of the group, that gives you an idea.

- Players hosting from a Xbox One S or original PS4 console.
Let me make it clear, anyone on an Xbox One s or the original PS4 console should automatically relinquish the host status to others if applicable. The game on those console runs at 25-30 fps and the amount of desync every sec is staggering. (When half of the shot/strike register.... it's that bad.)

So, yeah. If you can find players to play with while disabling the Cross-Platform, the game can be a lot of fun about 95% of the time. There's a 5% where the numbers are just against you and you'll feel like the game can be a drag.

I would say that, today, the most difficult thing about the game is reaching the point where you'll be able to play on either of the 2 hardest difficulty because you'll have to play a LOT to unlock the right cards for making viable builds as you can only cards in pre-determined series of cards. (You got to finish 1 series to access the next one and you got to complete 1-2 acts of multiple missions to gain enough to unlock a series and so on.)

I'd say go for it. I've been on the fence about it but now playing it, maybe it was worse at launch but.... i kinda feel like it deserved more love than it got? And i think lot of the negative press it got could've been avoided or atleast gotten more leniance if they didnt stick to a 60dollar pricetag literally until the devs decided to drop it.
When it comes to gameplay i'd say....Expect a more frantic and intense slightly less polished ( in SOME areas ) l4d2?
It also has a gameplay core that kinda focuses on a more variable experience, as in lots of modifiers being applied at random but also available for you to build kits around.

oh and if you wanted more gross bodyhorror in l4d this game will definitely supply that haha
you should get about 6 hours out of it doing all the maps if you just wanna have fun and play on easy, so for $2.50, sure go for it

I just got it on HB and can't stop playing it. It feels good. Very different from lfd2, and won't be as replayable as lfd2, because no mods. I still play lfd2 because of all the custom maps.

I played b4b beta and was underwhelmed. It was very confusing and hard even on the rookie level. It was also expensive at $80. So I ignored it. A couple of years later, updates, dlc, and $20 price tag, I don't regret it.
Is it worth it in the HB bundle for $15? Yes. This is the price I would pay for just the base game and at the most $20 - $25 with all DLC's.

Not moddable afaik but dont get it in the HB bundle, get the deluxe edition or whatever in the HB store for like $30, which the upgrade from standard is like $30. its fun.
