Post subject: Left 4 Dead 2 DEMO not so good
Archived from groups: alt>games>video>xbox (more info?)

After getting early access to the Xbox 360 demo for Left4Dead 2, I
eagerly awaited to play the game while waiting for it to download to
my 360.

After playing a couple hours, I'm left asking myself

What the hell happened?

I love Left4Dead 1 , the way you moved seemed fluid and precise , if a
little floaty ,still it was very balanced.

But playing the demo for part 2 , it doesn't feel as polished as the
first game, its almost like Valve took a step backwards.
The sound of the shotgun has lost its punchiness, the new auto
shotgun , also doesn't have the same deep sounding satisfaction the
1st game does and seems to lack the power of the old one.

the new charger enemy is nothing more than a weaker tank , now that I
think of it I didn't see one tank in my expert runs of the demo.

The new charger captures someone and when you go to shoot him , you
automatically get an auto aim prompt!! WTF???

For some reason Valve though that the charger needed players to have
the aiming cross hairs lock on , you even get a different cross hair
telling you your locked onto the charger.

Crash Course by comparison was so balanced , I thought this was taste
of LEF4DEAD2, the tank on expert is a beast and the zombies seem to
spawn in the right places.



There's just so much that's missing in the demo compared to the 1st
game, maybe I'll get used to it, But I can't believe I'm considering
canceling my pre-order and Left4Dead is one of my most favorite games
online.

But the demo just flat out disappointed me.


The hunter in the first game would prowl in the darkness and seem to
stalk us like a panther, now in Left4dead 2 he floats across the
ground in a wide open area and looks less animated than he did in the
1st game. He actually kinda floats

The hit detection seems off too, I unloaded a shotgun into a zombie
and didn't register a hit , I looked at my connection and I had all
green bars.


I don't know , the old game was so fluid online , but the new game
just feels too easy .

In the 1st game on Crash Course , you get no health packs at all in
the course of traveling the map, but in the demo on Expert for for
part2 , there's health packs all over the place.

I'm really bummed about the demo , I don't know how much they can
change or fix before release , but the demo flat out sucked and I'm
seriously considering canceling my pre-order.

The demo will be out for GOLD members Nov 3 and Nov 11 for Silvers

I didn't see any areas of the map change , It was all in the day
time , it just lacked that zombie survivalist feel of the first game.

I know the quality of the demo is probably a lot less than the final
version, but the sound was off, the enemy spawning was off, the way
your character moves is off, the sounds of the guns are off. Zombies
spawn in mid air in front of you, it just really looks like an
expansion made by a mod crew.
This is Valve the masters of great games, wow , I'm just dumb founded.
