So now that the X360 and PC demos of L4D2 are out (for preorders/steam purchases), here's a thread to discuss what you think of it, especially against L4D1.

Just so everyone is aware, the Public PC demo is coming November 3rd, and I figure the public X360 demo is coming at a similar time.

 

Here are my quick impressions, I'll post more later:

+ New special infected are amazing. They are going to make versus play very interesting.

+ Melee weapons are a lot of fun to use. The machete actually cuts zombies open.

+ Every playthrough seems to be a lot more random than L4D1. Gun, item and infected spawns are much more variant each time.

+ Guns no longer spawn in sets of 3, and you can find a single upgraded weapons.

+ Wandering witches are really scary. I was playing on advanced and getting hit by a wandering witch = instant death, no incap.

+ Defibulators are a great alternative to finding survivors in closets.

+ The AI director is way smarter than before.

 

- You can't see your legs anymore when you look down (PC version).

- The POV seems to have changed, and takes some getting used to.

- Guns like the Magnum take up a huge part of the screen.

- You can't adminster adrenaline on someone, and makes it a pain if you're holding adrenaline and they're holding pills.

- Some of the special infected re-skins from L4D1 aren't so great.
