I think it will work itself out; the sequel has loads of content, and iirc Valve is still going to release DLC for L4D

I would rather they focus all of their efforts on one game rather than half assing it on both.

indefinitely delayed.

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

I thought it was an excellent demo. I think the cramped fight in the park showcased most weapons and enemies, and the chase part with the opening doors was definitely awesome. It's a shame that the campaign took place in broad daylight, but it didn't bother me that much and I'm sure the other campaigns and levels will have more focus on horror. I think this is probably going to be a good game.

Regarding the release though, it did feel like they chucked it out it almost instantly after the original. I don't really know why they did this and it's not the end of the world, but it's definitely a shame that neither of the games will receive full attention because community development and DLC will be divided between the two. The series kind of invented a new niche, so it would've been cooler if we could've stayed with and seen the game grow and establish a bigger following for a year or two before moving on to a sequel. Kind of like how it went down with Half-Life when it was first released.

And yeah, I'm definitely pumped about Episode 3. Don't know what's up with the delay!

Personally I enjoy the demo, too bad it'll prob be deactivated when the game comes out

My only problem is with the difficulty spike, that or me and the rest of the peeps I play with suck. Most of the time we can breeze through the first level on Expert, then get our asses handed to us 9/10 times in the Park area of the second level. However, these repeated deaths allow me to watch more pretty corpse explosions from a well timed Pipe Bomb ^.^

Special Infected are definately smarter, I've seen a charger, smoker AND Jockey come and kick our asses, final insult to injury was when all those three were cleared, and the tank came to drop the last of us.

The witch however seems to suck, she just runs off the map half the time!

they are literally just not working on it until L4D2 is out for a while and they've steamed out all the issues.

Did anyone else find the beginning area of The Parish a bit difficult to navigate at first? Not as straightforward as L4D's maps, I s'pose.

I don't know.. I thought so at first, but it's hard to compare. I can run through it blind-folded now, after a few plays, but at first I was a little iffy about where to go. I might've done the same when I first played L4D, but I don't remember. In general, the levels do seem a bit more.. open. They are still linear and we haven't seen too much of the new director, however it does feel like there's a little more flexibility.

I thought The Parish was crazy linear. Sure there were some openings for sidetracking, but those paths were usually short and mostly lead to special weapons or bonus items. In terms of levels being OPEN I'd say it depends on whether it's indoors or not. I found that the outdoor maps in L4D were sort of open-ended, and the same goes for the L4D2 videos featuring outdoor levels, such as the swamp maps.

I think the games are pretty much the same aside from the fact that L4D2 has more content and new campaigns.

Also, I've heard that L4D maps were going to be ported to L4D2. Does anyone know anything about this? I can't seem to find a source.

Afaik there's no reason why you can't load the l4d maps in l4d2.

Iirc they wanted to make L4D2 backwards compatible in that you can play the official or custom L4D1 maps with L4D2.
