Call of duty copies L4D, but to what extent?

Unless I'm missing something, I hate you. That's simply because you compare it to L4D (and so does the source) like it was the only game involving zombies. Sure, it's probably one of the biggest and the others have been 'only' mods but I think it's still wrong to compare it to the most hyped game only.

Anyway, I think it's just a good thing to have a less serious mode as well. Well, unless it gets more popular than the modes that are supposed to be the 'main' modes, that is.

Cut the personal attacks, that's a warning.

I'm not intimidated by it or anything...it's really a simple game mode within COD5, it doesn't have near the complexity or replayability of L4D.  Endless wave after wave of zombies?  Eh...doesn't have the brains behind the game like L4D...I wouldn't be buying L4D if it was simply waves of zombies spawning and coming at you.  Being co-op obviously makes it fun, that's what COD5 is about...that's what L4D is exclusively about.

 

Doesn't matter though.  The Left 4 Dead demo comes out in a week or two, and then everyone can see what I've been ranting about for a year and a half...they're totally different games, and L4D will stand on its own without a problem.  Also, the two games probably started development around the same time, so the co-op element of COD certainly wasn't a rip-off...more of a Gears of War rip-off if anything.

Also, zombie Nazis?  Man, I know people can joke about Nazis, but I thought COD was more on the serious side...making zombies out of them seems to characterize too much and almost make a joke out of WWII.
