I'm really curious to see how addictive this must be then, since I love R2's co-op and that game hasn't even hit AAA status (nor will it).

AAA doesn't really make a difference .. I just said that because I'm glad the game now has that status.

 

I'm sure R2 online can but just as addictive as Halo and Gears ... but L4D is different ... thats how I feel anyway. Playing as the infected = big thrills!

How is it different? I have played both R2 coop and L4D coop extensively, and I am surprised at how similar they really are. Both games should be referenced as great examples of how to implement cooperative play.

@stubbs - L4D is a lot of fun but you can complete the game in about 4 hours and there is no true single player. The coop gives you 4 movies (about an hour each), and currently the versus mode only offers 2 maps/movies. Hopefully Valve will provide extensive support for the game. On the 360 it will mean paid DLC, and on the pc it will probably be free. Plus the pc will probably see extensive mods. As it stands now, you need to pay full price for 4 hour coop and a 2 map multiplayer.

 

Stop making R2 sound better,4 hours on easy,which is no fun,Normal is 6 and Advanced is 8 to 10 and expert is like 12 hours,and every time you replay the level it changes,thats 4x,so 48 FULL hours of gameplay,whlie R2 is fun it just cant be matched,and versus mode adds even MORE time to the awesomeness.

 

and its 10 multiplayer maps,2 campages,while the hole game has 20 levels (5 in each campage).

Different in that it mixes up the mold, playing as the infected.

 

Unless you can play as zombies in R2?

You can play as the Chimera.  The versus is my least favorite part of L4D, mostly because I suck at it.

 



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

Even with only 2 maps (10 chapters) available on Left 4 Dead it's still addictive as hell, if i can put in over 100+ hours and i'm STILL not bored then how many more hours am i going to put in to the game once the DLC arrives?

Theres no denying it, Left 4 Dead is online game of the year.

Bottom line______________________________

So do people recommend a purchase of this game then?

 

 

And yeah, either L4D or Zack and Wiki are the two best games this gen.

Special Infected > Chimera, Locasts & Flood+Elites

L4D is too damn short.i played it by myself to make it last longer,it was a little more exciting cause i was on my own but dumbass AI didnt help much.L4D is the best survivor horror until R.E 5 in March.

The buddies that i reccomended it to on xbox live are just as hooked as me, not even ONE complaint.

When the DLC arrives it will just cement this games LEGACY.

How am I making R2 sound better?  The op made a comparison and I asked a question.  I like both games equally.  I just question when we start making claims like best "online game of the year" and other nonsense.  The 4/6/8/12 hours you are talking about in R2 is the stand alone off-line campaign, which sadly L4D does not have.  As I mentioned previously, the coops are very similar in their approach and execution and both games include a versus multiplayer.  My only problem is L4D is way too short.  I know Valve will be releasing DLC, but on the 360 it will cost money. 

L4D has 20 levels, but in multiplayer each level can be completed in about 10 minutes, even less if the infected win.
