It doesn't just have four levels though. It has four campaigns with five levels each, then a fifth campaign with one level.

21 total "levels".

 

The Last Stand isn't playable in campaign/versus, only survival. The regular game (and versus) has 4 campagins, consisting of five stages each so there's 20 "levels" right now.

@LordMatrix: I wish people understood that less is more with many aspects of this game. More campaigns would be excellent, but overcomplicating the core game with more features, guns, modes or whatever won't make it more fun.

I think you are wrong. More levels would only be a good thing. Along side a few new weapons wouldn't hurt either.

 

And by levels i mean "stories" or whatever. Thers 4 levels not 20. In my opinion. The fact that it loads just means it loads a new segment of the level. Even if the levels are split up in multiple files, it's still a part of the same level.

 

And again.. less is not better.. less is almost never better. lol..

By your (incredibly flawed) logic, then, 99% of games out there have 1 "level" because they concentrate on one single "story", one single "campaign".

Therefore, by your logic, you wouldn't like ANY games out there except fighters, since those are the ONLY genre of game that concentrate on more stories than that. And everybody knows fighters tend to have bad stories, at that. What, the fate of the world rests in a freaking fighting tournament? Right.

 

@Ameratsu - I'm entirely aware of the setup of Left 4 Dead. I have both the 360 and PC versions (had the 360 version since release, got PC last week). I've played quite a bit of L4D. The Last Stand is, yes, survival-only, but that doesn't mean it's not still a campaign of its own, especially since there's no saying Valve won't add more levels to that campaign. Actually, I fully expect that they will. The Lighthouse is still a stage no matter how you look at it. The "regular game" doesn't exist, since 90% of players concentrate on survival mode now. One could easily argue that is the regular game - after all, that's what you'll most likely regularly play.
