Hello,

Can anyone answer this question for me?

Whats the difference between Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2?

Is there any new additions to the game platform? Is there any new bosses or things to kill?
 
If you liked the first one you'll like the second one. It's as simple as that. If you're looking to buy the game that's all you need to know. If you're looking to flame the game this is probably the wrong place to do it.
 
But yeah, there are new things. Have you played the demo? That introduces you to a lot of stuff.

By far I am not trying to flame the game ... The 2 posts that I posted have been taken way out of context ... The first one I can understand ... I am just trying to understand whats different.

Guess this is not the place to ask questions. I will just stop posting for now until you guys know me better.

Thanks.
 
see guys...jeez you scared him off...and i was just about to answer his question -.- lol
 
-Melee Weapons
-larger Variety of guns
-Better infected AI (the Survivor AI is worse)
-New special infected
-2 new game modes (realism and scavenge)
-Expert is harder in L4D2
-More details for infected / survivors
-More voice acting / variety of survivor lines
-New grenade (Bile Bomb)
-Defibrillator / Incendiary ammo / explosive ammo (replace Health Kit slot)
-Adrenaline shot (replaces pills spot)
-New campaigns (arguable much better)

that's all i can think of

Don't worry about posting, you are well within your bounds on asking a legitimate question about the game.

If have not purchased either game, I HIGHLY recommend getting L4D2 first, it has more weapons, features, levels, and types of gameplay. If money is not an issue, they have a combo pack where you can get both games for like $60 or $70.

However, Left 4 Dead 2 is MUCH better than the original
 
Yes as blackhawk said.............Left 4 Dead 2 is much improve, its basically everything or almost everything they wanted to put into Left 4 Dead but didn't manage to. Thats why they came out with the 2nd one so quickly after the first one. Its well worth it, i just ordered it for $30 which was an amazing deal during black friday sale, awaiting its shipment arrival.

The new one has new maps, modes, weapons, melee weapons, new zombies, more gorey graphics, new special zombies, new characters and basically almost new everything. They include all the old weapons but they seem slightly changed/revised and the new weapons are sick, deagle is epic and the AK and SCAR are really cool also. The Katana and machete are sick and its awesome slicing up some zombies.

Yes, download the demo and play it, you can play the demo online but only one campaign and it gives you a really good idea of all the new features in the game but i don't think it includes everything, it includes almost everything though.

The first left 4 dead was great and the 2nd left 4 dead is amazing also.

As I could not ascertain the nature of your post I tried to write a very brief neutral response. In hindsight I see I could have written the positive part better so that you did not think I was directly accusing you of flaming.

Welcome to the clan by the way!!!

Back on topic, I do plan on getting L4D2, just not sure when. I loved the first one and was really impressed by the second one's demo. I called it "more of the same" after playing the demo, but to me that's a great thing, because it's that good.
 
Well ... seems like a game I should get.

Although, just found out that my mother is getting me Left 4 Dead 2 on Christmas day ... Guess she has it all wraped up :)

(Secretly I know every place she likes to hides my brothers and my gifts)

That's why Christmas makes me rage, because you can't buy anything like L4D2 that is TOO GOOD TO WAIT FOR.
 
In l4d2 Its better than l4d becasue there more bosses but they just changed the ppl and when your buddie dies you can bring him back to life :D
