Forums - Microsoft - New E3 Rumor : Left 4 Dead 2

L4D didn't impress me much. Much too short and not enough Modes and Features.



 How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...

Xbox 360 wants to KinectPS3 wants to Move!  Why are both systems having such relationship problems?  The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.

I don't know about this one.

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..



Check out my game about moles ^

Left 4 Dead 2 eh ... count me in. I hope it gets a different name though!

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.

Left 5 Dead.



I heard a rumor that you will start with a pistol and will randomly get rifles, shotguns, if the AI director is in a good mood, the weather is fine, you win a 1d20 roll, get a royal straight flush while playing poker with him and God accepts your prayer. if you pass this test, then you roll a 1d100 dice, after running a marathon and completing it. if you win the dice roll, the AI director will hibernate thinking about gifting you a new weapon. when he wakes up (6 months later), he will roll a dice to see if you will get a weapon. this process happens every 2 hours. you will get duplicates and there will be no way to drop your weapon or trade with a buddy (the trade system will be DLC costing 10 bucks)

and they all lived happily ever after.

 



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

erm. Not only does it take less than 4 hours to go through all the "levels" in total of the game (which is not the case for those 99 percent of other games.) It's also the exact same "levels" in singleplayer multiplay and co-op.

 

Not only that, when they do load, what you refere to as a "level" it's simply a continuation of the previous level. AKA it's a new map but within the same level. Voila. Also tekkens story is insanely more deep than left 4 deads thank you.

Damn the AI director and his D100s.
