Left 4 Dead 2 soon. Will it be better?





Lets get the question over with and just say. The first game was great at first. One of the best games ever. But after several updates and total makeovers to the infected, we have a far less than quality experience. No more instant kills. The wonder tongue of release with the smoker. The only explodes on survivors who haven't washed with the special rain X formula that resists gas and goober juices from the acidic but burned out boomer. The hunter has largely remained the same except for the traumatic cheating quality of ghost scratching.
Lets face it. Some of the biggest whores, i mean gamers, who are L4D fanatics have suffered from the great frustration that has been this games history.
To the point though the real question is what form will L4d 2 take. Will we be getting a great big middle finger on the box or a double up yours?
Lets just say that Valve has gotten its act together with all that has gone wrong with the first game. Fans are ready in mass numbers to take up the cause of owning some survivor asses but really will we all be duped this go round. Much of what was promised to gamers for content was not in the original. The large part of the content since we paid the price for. (even the free downloads made you feel robbed.) So will this be a complete game?
Screenshots and a few references to melee weapons are nice but where is the L4D 2 demo? Should we be worried that the release of the game is just around the corner and there is no demo to give us a taste of what is to come. When will there be a complete game that needs no active updates to fix (i.e. Ruin) the game experience. I am glad the option is there if something is missed but lets not use it as an excuse to release games that are incomplete. Seriously its becoming a trend. (PS. > Lets all play some Avatar golf on Bepob's or Rage's courses. And a single round on the island will make us all...................happier.?????)

The new Left 4 Dead 2 Demo is really good, but it still suffers from the same server lag death issues. Now though you can use local server options and get around the lag at least some of the time. This is a great thing for gamers and even better for Valve who won't have to have twice as much server space used up.
