I dont understand the game

[apriori]

I thought this was kind of l4d2, versus mode, offline campaigns with many chapters, etc etc

Mainly im confused, is there a versus mode where you can play as infected?
Can you play co-op without having to wait for other people to queue with you?
Whats about the different cards or whatever, and the fact that you can level up characters (or something like that).
How many campaigns there are, and once you complete them is the game over?

i read all the reviews peolpe say this game sux and play L4D instead so I dont even consider it anymore even tho its basically given away free

[Funnystash]

I just purchased with the $10 sale. Upscaled graphics for VR without the need for mods is a plus just wish there was a way to disable the outlines around enemies and bosses

you should return it. Reading all the negative reviews on the season pass DLC saying its same maps and Turtle Rock was sold to Chinese Tencent 3 years ago the original devs are long gone and china dont care about this game. waste of money

Glancing over the game is looks done, for the price of a burger I'd say it's fair some work still went into it.

The one deterrent for me is actually Easy Anti Cheat, which is some budget kernel level garbage software. It's basically letting your computer be part of a sleeper botnet. The whole Crowdstrike incident was because of software that had such privileges and the chimps behind it bricked many machines across the world. Not fancy of letting stuff like that on my machine over a stupid $10 toy.

I feel this white hot rage is wasted on this games forum as tencent will be the lead owners of their acquisition of Assassins Creed franchise and they're full steam ahead with blackflag remake. LOL and our liberal socialists thought they hated conservatives wait till they get a whiff of what's cooking with CCP socialists owning ubisoft. TIKTOK getting banned will make the CCP studios even spicier

I need to disable that to play on VR anyways.

Cards are made so you can make different builds. This is one of the many different aspects of this game in comparison to L4D, but of course, people who complain about B4B doesn't know about this, most of them just watched some Youtube video and made the author's opinion, their own.

Game is great. DLC are all new maps. Don’t know where you’ve got that information from. You should try playing it and see for yourself if you’re into difficult games.

The base game has 3 long acts and 1 level in act 4 that’s a final boss battle.

You start with basic gear in a single act and as you progress you get better gear, add more cards to your deck and you become more powerful as the act goes on. Once you finish an act your gear is gone and you can start the another act or an old one. The deck you choose has a significant impact on how you play (melee deck, DPS deck, money deck, sniper deck, medic deck, etc…).

DLC 1 are an extension to all levels, a random chance a cave entrance spawns to take players into an underground level for a chance of higher rarity gear.

DLC 2 adds act 5 (6 new levels and 2 playable characters)

DLC 3 adds act 6 (5 new levels and 2 new playable characters)

PvP was confirmed not to be campaign-based even before the game was released.

Queue times are fast with “quickplay” (less than 20 seconds) but may take a few minutes if you are lucky if you insist on starting a new campaign. There is an offline mode where you won’t have to deal with queue times altogether.

-I thought this was kind of l4d2, versus mode, offline campaigns with many chapters, etc etc
There are campaigns/acts that have 5-13 levels to complete +hives levels.
Campaigns are coop and you can find people 24/7.

-Mainly im confused, is there a versus mode where you can play as infected?
There is versus mode but nobody plays it.

-Can you play co-op without having to wait for other people to queue with you?
Yes, you can play solo +3 bots offline. Bots are very good, better than most randoms imo.

-Whats about the different cards or whatever, and the fact that you can level up characters (or something like that).
There is a deck loadout system. It doesnt take long to unlock all the cards, maybe 1-2 weeks casual play. All the other unlocks except cards are cosmetics. Decks allow you to greatly customize playstyle and add tonnes of replayability.

-How many campaigns there are, and once you complete them is the game over?
3 long campaign 9-13, 2 medium 5-6 levels + plus hives you can find.
You can play this game for thousands of hours tbh. The gunplay is just very polished and fun unlike any other zombie shooter I playeded.
I bought this game 2 months ago and played over 350 hours already. It took me around 300 hours to unlock most cosmetics. You get them as rewards in games and after you unlock all cosmetics you get burn card as rewards instead. These are card you activate between levels for extra bonuses.

Thanks for the comprehensive answer!

Is this like Payday 2 (or Payday the heist) where if the host has a DLC map (campaign or whatever you call it), the others that dont have these DLC can still play these maps?

Yes, in private parties, if one person owns the DLC all can play the Act.
In Public lobbies, if one person owns the hives DLC, all can play through the hives together.

Are weapon attachments still fix?

You cannot remove weapon attachments unless you 'unbolt' the weapon for 500 copper in the starting safe room (while the door is shut) or swap it with another. Then you can freely swap attachments on and off that particular weapon. Iirc the Weaponsmith card lets you pay to unbolt anywhere and has a 100 copper discount, stacking for each player with the card down to 100 copper.

Swapping attachments on weapons is if you find another attachment for the same slot, i.e. you have a red dot sight on your gun and find a 2x scope you can just pick up the new scope and it will replace the red dot sight, dropping it on the ground. Just make sure you have the correct weapon in hand when you go swapping attachments so you don't accidentally attach it to the wrong one.
