Left 4 Dead 2 Review

[KILLERGAMER1111]

Love this fresken game

[MrMohammedali12]

this is the best online game ive ever played in my life

[SimplyawesomeXXX]

i just downloaded on pc for free, in another language though.

[thelegithack]

I want L4D3 :(

[21nyknicks]

im thinking about buying this again. are there still people playing this on xbox live?

[Peshy50]

@21nyknicks yeah, also, i love your user name

[yowazupman123]

@21nyknicks yes

[boobyricky50]

Can someone please answer it'd be nice. Im new to pc gaming and all. So one question does this game require a strong graphics card to play?

[MrKaboom2011]

@boobyricky50 i dont think so, i can run Portal 2 which has great graphics on my pc fine, but L4D 2 wont run, L4D 2 has lots of AI so its probably a good processor you need

[SLASHANDDASH5902]

picked it up for 8 bucks score!

[Goofballhero]

They need a third! and they should add this:

- Map editor

- multiplayer where you make your own survivor and unlock new clothes and stuff

- more weapons

- kind of like spec ops missions from MW, except goofier, like the last level in parish, you and 7 other players run away from like 6 tanks that keep respawning

-8 player survival

[GriiiiiiinD]

I just wish more campaigns were at night, it would feel more creepy to me. Other than that great game very fun.

[facebook822]

i love reviews o n the run

[chaturga13]

best zombie game ever

[FrankieTheoret]

@chaturga13 idk man... dead island was a little better in my opinion.. there was just soo much to do!

[renade2003]

I got this for 5$ on sale and this is the best thing i ever got on steam

[boobyricky50]

Should I get this game? On Steam? Some help!

[steamerzff]

@boobyricky50 Sure, its an awesome game!

[mushtazm]

Shame that not many people play this on pc

[KashgroundTM]

ok dudes somebody gotta explain all this call o duty hate lol is it because of the speed of the game?the campaigns or somethin?

[Ramen86861]

@KashgroundTM the past 2 games are just map packs and story expansions that aren't worth 60 bucks each and the multiplayer is EXTREMELY unbalanced. If you win early on in the match, you're guaranteed winner because they give you all this crazy shit they should be giving to the people who aren't doing so well, like nukes and airplane bombs

[KashgroundTM]

@Ramen86861 dude every sequel is just a map pack with better graphics.there is nothing you can do to change a good game without messing up in the long run.like battlefield 3.or burst limit.or super streets 4.or tekken 6 (god knows not to change that game too much either lol)there are a shitload of games that should change ALITTLE,not too much

[KWelch60]

are they making left 4 dead 3?

[chaturga13]

im a ps3 fanboyer and this game is AWESOME , im actually playing on pc 16x aa triple vertical sync , ultra graphic and 60 frames per second =D

[manciuxl1]

back then in 2009 l4d2 had limited content(few maps,modes,wepons) but a shit load of players

now l4d2 has a shitload of content but few players :/

[sirpizo555]

WHERE LEFT 4 DEAD 3?! IM DESPERATE COME ON VALVE!

[zawol17]

The Verdict: ...

[jaysean551]

hey guys should I get this game or Battlefield 3?

[524mills]

@jaysean551 It depends, if you are looking for a amazing co-op shooter, get L4D2. If you want a more realistic but still fun war game, get BF3.

[jaysean551]

@524mills overall which is a better game? Everytime I look at which game has better multiplayer or review they end up being the same.

[524mills]

@jaysean551 If you are playing on a PC, Left 4 dead 2 is a better game then BF3. If you are on a console, BF3 is better.

[JKHALIN]

@jaysean551 hahahhahahaha haha aha ooh whah hahahahahhah haha oooh yea. thats a good one. whooh.

[jaysean551]

@JKHALIN Thanks I try ;)

[TheFilnizer]

l4d2 has more new than the cod series has had with 4 games.......

[iCre8Tiv]

Please help guys! Im getting my first laptop that CAN Hold games like CoD or L4D So should i get this or the first L4D Because i have never played them before and is it worth it. and Does anyone have any good game suggestions? **PLEASE ANSWER**

[friedmanuri]

@iCre8Tiv they added all the l4d1 campaigns the l4d2 and since it has the same price on staem l4d2 is pretty much better in every way

[ArmyOfOne220]

I don't think valve can count to 3, just saying.

[djantony98]

Left 4 Dead 2 is a good game but i want HALF LIFE 3!

[jasper1141]

i hate how some people will just kick u automatically when u just joined the game, its fucking bullshit, u havent even started and right off the bat ur kicked... its bullshit on xbox, cus there's alot of fcking pricks who think there good when there actually not there just dumbasses who think there cool. other then tht Great Game just hate the fucking PRICKS in this game.

[irrefutably]

@jasper1141 Thats because its xbox... xbox live has the most dicks.

[kaushikpaddy]

I am SOO IN love with VALVE! plus this game is awesome lol me and my friends keep trying to beat all the campaigns in realistic mode but we suck to much :P

[thestevo893dude]

"the question is if these refinements are worth the purchase of a new game" why don't they ever ask that question in COD reviews?

[BorisNaruto2]

@thestevo893dude because all of IGN are COD gamers.

[Zimba9810]

the online vs mode is freakin amazing. had more fun then bf3

[ResurrectionGamer]

4.99 on steam i have gotta grt this favorite game evaz

[Koryo8]

fuck battlefield 3 ... and fuck cod mw 3 too, they both suck, play mgs3

[ArttuMonkey]

@Koryo8 I like that none of those things have anything to do with the video :P ( i agree thu)

[xG4m3rJ4m3z]

£3.74 on steam!

[tontsa911]

I have LOTS and lots of games already but 5 euros for this is a steal ! :D Gotta buy it.

[MsPerkalator]

just bought it on steam.. installing NOW!! Im excited!!

[drifter402]

@MsPerkalator WTF SAME

[xXco61lo95Xx]

@MsPerkalator same here

[hazeman671]

@MsPerkalator The best part is that there are always people to play with and if you turn off VSYNC almost any system can run the game high - maxed out settings above 45FPS

[StanTy100]

@MsPerkalator FUCK SOPA!i'm getting it from piratebay, i'm excited!

[henrychinaski26]

STEAM $5 TODAY ONLY...!

[theaveragejoe32]

its $4.99 on steam!

[GLaDOSity]

First I played with bots. It was... OK. Then, I joined a game with some random guys. It was definitely better, but still didn't click.

Then, a group of friends invited me to play with them. Boy, did we have a blast. The joy of shouting to warn a friend, or have a good laugh when an unaware pal is run over by a tanker is unparallered.

Do yourself a favour and buy this game.

[RolandVeasey]

I just won this game from Valve's Holiday thing. I can't wait till it's done downloading!

[C00LDUD31234]

Man i remember this game i used to play it everyday but then modern warfare 3 came out...i REALLY miss playing this game.

[mh6761]

got to be the most fun game! and its so replayable!

[gtafans93]

Anyone else come hear to just see the fucking review?

[Yes00fiman]

the game is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too repetitive

[HunterJs2]

I love how some people are yelling at IGN for "only" giving a nine, where others are saying it's too high. It just goes to show that people are the idiots, not IGN...

[angleisthebest]

9/10 is too much for this game, because it sucks now. Everyone ragequits every single game that doesn't go their way, bots are still retarded (Valve never fixed the broken AI of survivors from the first game) and they refuse to pick up projectile weapons. The game has been broken multiple times with several updates, that killed the server browser, made the game lag on PCs that used to run it perfectly etc. Not even worth £5 anymore, as it's more frustrating than fun now...

[TheXzebx]

Dead island Ftw

[Syn94]

" + Feels Familiar" *For CoD*

" - Feels Familiar" *For any other sequel*

[SteelerEagleFan]

@Syn94

Funny how in the black ops review that was a minus.

[NicolasMuzzio]

@Syn94 dude, this is IGN's opinion so if u don't like it then don't watch the video

[owensentis]

@Syn94 They're A-holes I know

[Andreaspaw]

@owensentis They are idiots they also say if you buy MW2 for the campaign you're making a mistake.No i'm not that's your opinion motherfucker.

[owensentis]

@Andreaspaw IMO the campaign is the only reason to get Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare again (MW2) and even then I wouldn't say it's great

[Andreaspaw]

@owensentis I don't really play the MW3 multiplayer i got it because of the campaign and MW2 I was in level 70 after a really long time, then i went prestige and later got to 70 again because of a hacker.

So yeah i liked the campaign best it gets boring playing 6 vs 6 all the time.

[owensentis]

@Andreaspaw that's why I play Battlefield, Team Fortress 2 and Counter Strike.

[FaultyTable]

@Syn94 Too True

[asteroidrules]

@Syn94 They only count familiarity as a good thing when it's not.

[KashgroundTM]

@Syn94 are people still complaining about call of duty?

[WelcomeToTheGunShow2]

@Syn94 Just IGN sucking IW's cock.

[manbot2010]

@Syn94 IGN hasn't ever given COD a 10, But then again what is Youtube without ignorant idiots like you?

[Syn94]

@manbot2010 Don't you have a boosting lobby to play in?

[SuperMp47]

Merry christmas everybody

[OBBrandon]

I would wish for left 4 dead 3 on ps3 and 360

[AzumGaming]

@OBBrandon

vavle games should always be played on pc

[OBBrandon]

@AzumGaming Can't forget that!

[YouSoundBored]

A 9?? It's a Ok game. I give it 7.8.

I guess it's worth $5 on Steam

[BiiGLeagueChew]

Should i buy this game and the dlc too?

[alondite345]

Only IGN would consider "familiar" bad for one sequel, and good for another.

[magnum93954]

@alondite345 Maybe because valve games are cheap compared to COD...

[H3adshotHunter]

Are there still many players online playing

[Syn94]

@H3adshotHunter A lot of people play on PC, there's like, 200 on console and 2000 on PC.

[monkeypoo765]

Does anyone still play this game?

[pwdlabr]

@monkeypoo765 A lot of people do.

[TheDeltaXQ]

Familiar is bad? Its a fucking sequel!

[Speedpogo]

Meelee is fun!

[UhhYoung44]

i have it

[UhhYoung44]

i love this game so much

[GreenDayFan625]

I did realism solo with bots and went through 3 hrs. of it

[chipman5678]

whats the meain difference between pc and console versions of this game??

[Korijira]

Has anyone noticed how similar this game is to Killing floor?

[halo4019]

left 4 dead 1 or 2????

[FaultyTable]

@halo4019 2

[MegaSlashProductions]

Left4Dead 3 is not going to happen, valve is only going to update and add even more awesome features. It's kinda like Half life episode 3, it's not going to happen, yet the community is adding more mods/plugins.

[HeadshotHotHead]

@MegaSlashProductions Or because Valve can't count to 3.

[MegaSlashProductions]

@HeadshotHotHead Or because Valve can't count to 3, yes that is a true statement

[bloodfoxtrue]

@MegaSlashProductions

hi, I'm thinking of (finally) getting l4d 1+2... I was wondering where I can get user content, and if official dlc is free? thanks dude ;)

[MegaSlashProductions]

@bloodfoxtrue Well the Passing IS OR WAS free for pc, last time I played L4D2 I saw the passing on my campaign list, I was ike WTF? Then I saw the mutations mode. So I don't know if any official DLC's were free. I got The Sacrifice free too. IDK I guess

[cpratt54321]

this was the first game i got for my xbox and now that im looking back on it, im pissed i sold this game

[aFinnsTheory]

People, stop asking Valve to create a left 4 dead 3. They'll just screw the franchise up in the process. I mean, it's perfect now! Don't make them screw it up like ppl did with COD, BF, and AC.

btw the sequel woulda been called Left 4 D3ad.

[TopNotchGamingXx]

I prefer killing floor

[diselesp99]

why does everyone bring cod into every game discussion that has nothing to do with that game itslef???

[agentfire102]

left 4 dead is better then cod there thumbs up i guess

[asassin87834848]

fell familiar wtf ign all cod are the same shit fuck u ign

[Solokill72]

10/10 from me :D

[TinkerTom56]

Why did i trade this in! Fuck it im going to buy it again!

[thedonatblaster]

valve u r my favorite studio but for the love of god learn how 2 count to 3 damit

[theRBninja]

I hate how they gave it a negative for being "familiar" Call of Duty has done the exact some fucking multiplayer set up for 5 games now!

[FernandoLuis191]

@theRBninja When this came out, only cod4, waw, and mw2 were out.Go beg for thumbs up elsewhere.

[kylebroflovski123]

i like this game for about an hour. then just got bored of doing the same thing.

[chanze555]

What's the name of the song that plays at 0:01. I've been trying to find it

[yes5761]

Feels familiar? Duh you dumb shit it's Left 4 Dead . Zombies, mutations, and 4 survivors. There is a reason why it's called Left (4) dead. What was it suppose to be? Left 2 Die or something? That's why it's called Left 4 Dead (2) because it's suppose to be based off of the first one

[DanWelshy86]

bought this on the deal. It's a gem! so gutted i didn't buy it sooner

[usb908]

'Feels Familiar'........ NO SHIT BRO!

[Jak3thusn4ke]

I hate only 1 feature about this game. How the other players can boot u

[cheeser0]

anyone else come here because its $4.99 on steam?

[MrSHMEGG]

@cheeser0 No i came because its £3.74 UK FTW

[GethAreAwesome]

$4.99 on Steam! Buy NOW!!!

[rawatkshitij]

@GethAreAwesome dude you are serious? its showing 19.99 USD in steam! Does it vary from country to country? :(

[GethAreAwesome]

@rawatkshitij Deals over =(

[rawatkshitij]

@GethAreAwesome :( Anyway thanks.

[aznassassin159]

@rawatkshitij The deal's over. It was only one day long.

[rawatkshitij]

@GethAreAwesome If possible gimme the link :)

[Speedpogo]

@GethAreAwesome I did!

[GethAreAwesome]

@Speedpogo Good because I didn't! lol I was a Broke son of a bitch at the time

[drifter402]

@GethAreAwesome only valve would do that :)

[HunterJs2]

@jackram2h2 You do realise IGN took a point off of Black Ops for the same reason. And also, they didn't take an entire point off for that reason, learn how the rating works...

[KYbo123100]

I wish this was on ps3

[TheAxgraham]

Familiar gameplay?................Ummmm­mmm...........don't most game sequels have familiar gameplay?Devil May Cry,Halo,God of War,Assassins Creed,and the piece of shit all people know and love,Call of Duty.Why not take off points on those reviews for familiar gameplay,but take them off for this one?

[NatePencil]

Ellis FTW, he's the funniest in the whole game

[masterzombie161]

this game has gotten better in time with all the maps and a comic book so this franchise is doing well.

[HombreHonest]

Which should I get first guys, Left 4 Dead or Left 4 Dead 2? From what I've seen this looks pretty good (especially, from my opinion, the awesome intros these two games have) :)

[jengofrett]

@HombreHonest left 4 dead 1

[D0M3SH0TS]

Do people still play on xbox live?

[D0M3SH0TS]

Do people still play on xbox live?

[brutalmentehonesto1]

For me is a 10 out of 10 L4D 2 and L4D are so fun best game on Xbox 360 By far

[TheNutsandbolts12]

ppoo

[wagiwomble1]

Yay! I can finally agree with IGN!

Remember, You cant spell IGNORANCE without IGN

[conker621]

The main reason I hate Cod is because everybody is obsessed with it and worships it, and yet its the only game that people have a good reason to hate

-mix of cod 4 & mw2 guns with only a couple extra's

-Graphics have all but improved

-Sharsty 5hr campaign

-New game modes aren't really fun

-Still loaded with cheaps, noobs, hacks, campers, etc, so they didn't bother with the problems like spawning and knifeing which are and always were brutal

-If I need to continue I can, anyone?

[HombreHonest]

@conker621 You have a point there. Yesterday, I played Modern Warfare 3 with my cousins and my brother and.... well even though I have played other shooters, that one didn't seem fun to me for some reason. In my opinion ( in terms of shooters that I've played) the Timesplitters series, Half Life series, and Team Fortress 2 are better than MW3.

[conker621]

@HombreHonest Thanks, glad you can reognize other games and have an opinion, some of my favourite shooters would be republic commando, metro 2033, halo 1 & 2, battlefield, and cod 4, not icluding the more popular games people are familiar with

[MrRookie26]

@conker621 SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! just Shut Up! is you're life devoted to making clear why you don't like call of duty? fuck you man

[FPSMoses]

@MrRookie26 You're a good example of the many who worship COD. These are some of the reasons people hate that horrible game you fucking dumb ass.

[MrRookie26]

@FPSMoses lol dude nice try I don't even have cod, but there are these guys who spend hours on typing comments saying what they think is wrong with cod, i mean, srsly wtf.

And umm.. how many days have you played MW2 back in the day? I think you played it alot too, and me, i maybe played just over 3 hours at a friends place. so I think you have the right too keep your mouth shut i'd kick you're nerdy ass anyday, srsly you think im scared of some video gaming nerd thinkin hes cool

[thehypermidgit]

@conker621 repetitive 

[jsw95joshi]

@conker621 LOL Hackers in what cod? Dont say mw2 because that was patched months ago.

[Ritterdanny135]

@conker621 its just a game just play it and if you don't like it then don't play no one cares about your stupid rants on youtube no one cares if you hate the game get over yourself

[Korijira]

@conker621 What the fuck does Left 4 Dead have to do with CoD?

[chipman5678]

@Korijira the thing is, people compare everything with cod nowadays

[Korijira]

@chipman5678 That, my good sir, is an understatement.

[oldskoolrocker1000]

@conker621 Call of duty is a FPS for casual gamers or gamers who dont simply have a lot of time due to jobs. Thats why the campaign is short. You have to admit the action scenes are thrilling and gameplay is solid. Though the slow motion bits tend to be a bit annoying.

Its a game to rent for hardcore gamers. I rented MW3 and beat in one day. Took it back and was satisfied.

C'mon you cant tell me the scene with the airliner crashing tearing in half wasn't cool.

[GoldeneyeMarine]

Still worth playing on Xbox? It's available for £10 and I'm tempted.

[JoelNgTech]

you lost me at INTELLIGENT bots 1:36

[mellowman1978]

The zombies actually looked better in L4D1; appearences were more varied it seemed. Gameplay wise L4D2 is obviously better in every way. Still like the maps of the 1st game better for some reason.

[hochmeisterr]

ok COD aint FAMILIAR >>>????

[FunkyGloveMaster]

It feels familiar probably because it's a sequel... :I

[dajokaman759]

thumbs up if your here to see if this game if its worth 10 on steam

[Lunarmoon67]

So what's the difference between Left 4 Dead 2 and Dead Island?

[AfroGangsta10]

@Lunarmoon67 Dead Island is free roam, replay value will be sad for that game, ya sure every once in a while will this game be satisfying. Within a month or two it will collect dust on your shelf.

L4D2 on the other hand, is not free roam, it's teamwork. 4 people start out somewhere and have to make it to a certain place to be rescued. This means Co-Op.

This game has the highest replay value next I have ever seen next to the GTA series.

[ezioassassain]

should i buy this on disc or steam? plz answer cuz i have no clue

[SlothDemonification]

@ezioassassain Steam.

[singlecell55]

i miss scavenge mode,noone ever plays it anymore

[ZombieNids]

you know what else feels familiar. cod

[jerseysheavyhitter]

Good game but its was da same shit as da first tbh .. Only huge diff bein da melee weapons .. Story line well der isn't ne .. More lik a 7.5/10 .. Fun wit friends but it gets borin fast
