haven´t played yet, so I can´t say…

Which generally means there is no need for you to post…

L4D1 did do a lot of things better, especially campaigns, but that has been fixed by the mapping community and DLC.

L4D for all the reasons below

@CTID

The weapons are more realistic in L4D, they’re more balanced. There’s an actual sense of progression with the weapons, as well where when you start off with a shitty Tier 1 weapon, you can actually get a better weapon. Plus the new infected feel pretty shitty imo. The graphics look really cartooney in L4D2, though I do like the gore. I like the L4D characters more, the atmosphere is MUCH better done in L4D.

@Someonerandm

The L4D characters are a lot better than L4D2, although I am partial to Nick and Coach, and generally the atmosphere was better in L4D (the carnival and swamp levels are notable exceptions IMO).

Left 4 dead 1 DID have better common infected models though. Sometimes I wonder if New orleans was hosting the special olympics during the breakout.

Either that, or they have all been 100% interbreeding since 200 years ago.

Only few things are worth in L4D2 : new gib system, uncommon infected (especially CEDA hazmats) and features like laser sights and special ammo.

I know L4D2 can bring back L4D characters and maps but using “southern” zombies everywhere totally breaks the mood for me.

And I like the way the, for instance, shotguns are done where you have to rack your round in if you empty the gun and stuff like that. The guns felt much more realistic and balanced. You start off with the pump action and then you get to the auto-shotgun and there’s an actual improvement. Whereas in L4D2 there’s the wood pump, chrome pump, SPAS-12, and the Benelli-based auto. There’s really no sense of progression when you reach a new one. And none of them have even close to the same feeling as the shotguns from L4D.

[Orpheon]

I honestly prefer the first one:

1.) I liked the characters much better than L4D2’s characters.

2.) Although the weapons were more limited, each had clearly defined benefits and drawbacks, so you never got caught trying to decide which shotgun or assault rifle to choose.

3.) I liked the campaigns in 1 much better. In 2 it was just like…I don’t know, maybe it was having missions during the day, but the atmosphere didn’t seem as good as the first.

Well I got my copy of Left 4 Dead 2 to work, and you guys were right. It’s amazing! Thanks.

as an Aussie gamer who prepurchased LFD2 well before those F*ckers lobbied to have the game censored and subsequently recieved the shit version when I paid for a different product and valve refused to refund… blah blah you’ve heard the winge before

bottom line: LFD hands down (due entirely to the idiotic aussie LFD2 censoring)

Congratulations, you win the award for most subjective suggestion ever!!!

We need give hem a cookie, for all his hard work.

I will say l4d2 is better with the weapons and all, but l4d1 has more mods that are better. so…I will go with l4d1 only Because l4d2 get boring really quickly

[Surplus]

I think the reason L4D2 seems like it got boring faster is because most people already played a lot of l4d1 and for the most part they are very similar.

[Someonerandm]

L4D2 has some pretty good mods though.

First of all, what do you mean mods? I’m assuming you’re talking about campaigns. That’s very different. Next, show me said campaigns that are better. L4D2 has many many more custom campaigns than L4D1 including many L4D1 custom campaigns that were ported to L4D2. So I really have trouble believing L4D1 has better custom campaigns and the fact that you called them mods makes me think you don’t know what you are talking about.

do you have to make everything a fucking debate.

He said something stupid, so I’m correcting it. If you don’t like it then fuck off, you’re not a part of it.

Welcome to the internet. I think we should all just get the hell out of this thread now and leave him to it.

Blame your country, not the game.

I def say L4D2 hands down… much more fixes to the director AI, better weapons, melees, graphics, more mods and soon all the L4D 1 maps. The choice is obvious.
