[1loudninja]

should i get this?



[5zaide]

i have no problem wiht the xbox controls i dotn see what he is complaining about

[728DMAN]

I really like the controls on the 360 but i cant say theyre better than the pc controls cuz i havent played it on pc Great game and nick is awesome

[CFL0LSmilyFace]

I got L4D for 20 bucks but got L4D2 for 7 bucks. :l

[esargento]

hay esti

[jens0408]

i play on console and dont have the problem with controlls i dont now what your talking about but i never play pc games except for warcraft and diablo so im used to console shooters^^

[pikupz]

i agree with this guy alot, nioce rating

[CelinaTokio]

- rly on pc if u have an win 7, ur lagging much.

[autigerssuck]

XBOX260 IS BETTER THAN PC BECAUSE PC GAMES CAN CAUSE VIRUSES

[SwedishTraceur97]

@autigerssuck yeah? thats why antivirus programs exist, aaaaand we probably wont have to buy a completely new computer cause of that, while you will have to pay around 65$ for online each year, while your xbox is getting a failure rate around 43.6%. So, pc wins

[wiimii123456]

@autigerssuck 260 wtf its 360

[Soulreaper42able]

Can you get this game on the ps3?

[rushxdevistated]

@Soulreaper42able no its only on xbox 360 and pc

[Hugibert1222]

I downloaded Left4Dead 2 from

d()wnl()adblinks . c-o-m

[coasterfreakawesome]

If you're playing a Valve game on a console, YOU FAIL!

[zeroplayers]

i think its funny how hes talking about the pc version and its showing the xbox 360 version

also why do ppl care if its pc or xbox?

i have it for both systems and i really prefer the pc 4 the mods and controls

and the xbox for reliable online and most of my friends have it on xbox

[supersoniche]

@zeroplayers Yea but if you truely think about it pc games are cheeper, some addons are free but not on xbox and online is free unless your playing "Games for windows"

[zeroplayers]

@supersoniche yes i realize that and i do prefer my pc version better as i stated

[DarkBladeMaster96]

ok to stop the fighting

if you like shooters better on consoles, xbox is better for you

if you like shooters better on pc(like me), then pc is better for you

its all opinions so quit godamn fightning

[rayquazajones45]

i have a 360 myself and i have a very crappy pc. i will get a new one next week what do you think will be the best to buy some games for it?also stop fighting over the flippin pc and the xbox!!!both have their flaws and their parts that shine but both are great.i never played fallout 3 on pc but i have fallout 3 on 360.i will try to get some pc games and i might like it.just stop the war!!!!!pc and 360 rule the world together!!!all game systems are in 1 whole family even by different companies!!

[tadpole1225]

@rayquazajones45 FINALLY SOMEONE UNDER STANDS! dont fight over consles peplz

[ZapperPwnds]

this game is the best..really on the pc.. it looks horrible on the 360

PC

[MrThePandaman]

Wow, he didn't even talk about the game. He juts advertised PC gaming and Steam for two minutes.

[RandomReviews12]

Oh great now people are fighting over the PC and the xbox 360..

[sasuke22334]

it is better on pc. i really dont like it on xbox. so both ratings for the systems were right in my mind.

[SmileyNerd101]

i didn't have any problems with the controls on xbox.

[SucksTheJoke]

fps shooters are generally better to play on pc's but can also be just as fun on consoles, but i still prefer using a pc for a fps.

[silversnake4133]

You say the controls are loose on the 360, yet I don't have any problems popping off about 20 headshots in under 30 seconds. :/

[xhackmasterx]

@silversnake4133 nah hes 100% right about the control issue, its amazingly easier on the PC.

[Motorboatlawl]

@xhackmasterx Opinion.

[ToonLawliet]

I ♥ L4D on my x-box 360, yes, a PC version would have helped me but my PC sucks, plus, I am sure there is some kind of hack-y thing so you can use a keyboard

[godANDnana]

I really dont get ur problem oo..

I never had a problem with the xbox controls..

Its not that bad! For me, it feels sort of unrealistic on the pc..

[PortalGamar]

Being a L4D2 player and getting excited since the announcment, I would give it a 9.5.

[LeeJay800]

fuck you pc fanboy

[AmmyandIssun]

@LeeJay800 Controls are always better on a PC....

[gadalia10]

I have it for pc I got it as a gift from my friend but it didnt work,should I wait to get a better computer or return it to the store?

P.S. it had the receit with it

[noob121halo]

Dead Pixel i now declare you a trator to the xbox community

[Sgtchar05]

lol, yes the community of little children and 34 year old virgins...

[thedevastator888]

@Sgtchar05 ziiinng!

[noob121halo]

same as pc

[dudesta69]

i got this game without have playing the first, for the pc.

amazing game

great visuals, great amount of fun, online or offline.

im still having shitloads of fun with it and loving it, wherthere im the infected or a survivour!

[neilhatesyou]

While I agree that controls on the PC are way better (I'm first and foremost a PC gamer) I play with my friends alot on consoles, and the controller isn't THAT unbearable, its just a little more loose, it won't ruin your game.

[blaablaakas]

PC Gamer 92/100

[Jonna10002]

i think its better on a console, thats just what i think

[ObsTheGreat]

I don't even understand how people can stand FPS on consoles. The controls are so much easier to handle on PC.

[SplittingTheAtom]

I play on console and PC, but I started out with console. Because of this I find any game way easier with thumbsticks. I guess it's just a matter of what you're used to.

[SonicDXNero]

In the other video, they say "This is a XBox Version"

Is there a PS3 version???

[Sparkylizard]

@SonicDXNero no they said that because theres a Xbox version and a 360 version no ps3 version :/

[JonBall44]

@SonicDXNero

Do you need a PS3 version?

The controls are as loose as they are on all 3 versions, not in any way are they different. Hes saying that a mouse is a better thing to use in this game than a controller.  Which it is, trust me if you havent used a mouse for a fps then you wont understand this.

[SonicDXNero]

Wrong, I Have played first person games on PC, And I Have Left 4 dead, but I´m better with a controler, for sure!!!!

So, thanks for answer my question.

[JonBall44]

@SonicDXNero

"So, thanks for answer my question."

learn to grammar.

Son a mouse is better because you can point and click with a mouse, you might not be used to a mouse like most CPU gamers are, when you get more used to the PC mouse its easy and smooth.

[TehRayman1110]

It's not on PS3

[jkane94]

I would have like it if the old characters were there and it was just a continuing story. Other than that it looks great.

[mar1us95]

Lol, crap? Left 4 dead 2, Assassins creed 2, Modern warfare 2...Idiot commercial fag

[mar1us95]

Pc rules consoles on fps's. End of story.

[DreamingFallacy]

its all opnionated, i myself was raised playing video games on consoles so im used to it. its different for everyone so dont act like youre the all knowing god of video games. fucking tool

[joshman940]

umm the the game is exactly the same on pc and 360...I got 360 version and borrowed PC version and they are the same...controls aren't bad on 360 at all...

[EYOPASKAA]

uh no.. PC = hardcore better in the fact that, u dont have to pay for every pack it comes it out with as well as graphics

[joshman940]

does that mean its hardcore? no it means its just cheaper

[GodLikeSkillz89]

PC is 4 hardcore players, because the controls, money investment in hardware, and modding. Mouse/keyboard is better 4 FPS if you get used 2 it and this is a reason why you see console FPS have aim assists, because the precision is not there and the slow ass sensitivity on console controllers.

[joshman940]

well if you mean hardcore as in professional then I could understand it because of those facts but I was thinking hardcore as in better than console.

[JonBall44]

@joshman940

Only in some instances its better like modding.

On Call of Duty 4 people made modded maps all the time, and when you went into matchmaking, sometimes you would find maps that werent on the set list that people play on and sometimes over 20+ people in one game. The maps are big enough to fit as well.

thats imo one of the best reasons PC makes the cut over consoles, is the fact that people can dedicate their servers to one game and use different maps, consoles are still good. dgmw

[EYOPASKAA]

uh.. sorry didnt mean to say hardcore.. i guess i saw some1 say hardcore earlier or something and i mistyped..

[guins99]

not in my opinion, all the guys at gamestop also say pc is better...

[ashpox]

the game is better on 360.

[awesome1145]

but on pc its laggy

[RedRayIV]

@awesome1145 Only if you have shitty internet.

[awesome1145]

i know my cousins mines fine

[kev248]

Here's an idea: get a better pc

[NukularFaloot]

PC!

[mOnK27640]

if valve didn`t have the console market they would go under

[the1stcritic]

YEA PC!!!

[deathcloth123]

im getting it for cristmas cant wait

[mitch13815]

@deathcloth123 same here

[Xactohappymeal65]

Finally a good review

[Ronaldvdb81]

Buy a mouse and controls r fixed.

[Shenrai96]

hell yea he said it right VALVE GAMES BELONG ON PC

[Spiderpig02]

i found that an issue, on the console like because of how fast the zombies move and the randomness of their movements i found my self shooting walls and getting surrounded. But none the less its a great game for both.

[lilmekhi]

1.almost all valve are made 4 the p.c.

2.the dead pixle shold run the show hes the best :)

[yersimapestis]

both points are totally correct. valve started on the pc and is staying there. they only put stuff on the xbox to make more money and to keep microsoft happy. most people at valve are pc gamers. thats why we have the outbreak achievment and xbox owners don't.

[lupivdaman]

He does Inside Gaming, Critical Flaw, Friendly Fire (sometimes) I think if he had another show he would die of exhaustion or something.

[brokenURL]

YES! I love this game so much!

It's like a more complete version of L4D. What it should have been. Nicely said!

[applefrog111]

Pc player=Whining

[EmmaOWnzU]

@applefrog111 hell ya man hell fucking ya

[evilfungas]

I don't have any prombloms on the 360 but I understand why it's beter on the pc

[KaneKendal]

The console controls aren't even that bad

[reeft]

I love it when consol nerds complain about controls.

It's an egoshooter. It was DESIGNED for PC.

Duh.

[sic7one]

the only control issue i have on the xbox is i feel they wasted the right bumper again. i dont think being able to do a 180 can help you as much as...idk, maybe a zoom, or something other than being too lazy to turn around...but thats just my opinion. i've grown fond of fps on the 360 so my opinion is probably biased. but then again, whose isnt xD

[nightwing255]

Your review is so much better :DD:D:D

[bulletsandoctanefav]

Your voice sounds awesome

[MidwayWuzzupman]

I think when Pay Rent or Pass it was giving a rent is fair enough for me. I loved Left 4 Dead and like Left 4 Dead 2's demo. It seems; however, to me that Left 4 Dead = Beta, Left 4 Dead 2 = Final Product...

[joethearachnid]

I have a similar story: I didn't play the first game and I recently got a decent laptop so I got the demo for this and was blown sideways off a cliff. This will be my Christmas present next to MW2 (make of that what you will).

[blackscar50]

The controls??? I honestly think that the controls are just fine, they work better for me than they do on halo 3 actually (well in my opinion). Maybe some games switch up some sencitivity or something idk but i know that lfd2 controls arent hard at all

[cline792003]

Yeah this review guy sucks balls! Find a new job you pussy. The controls have NEVER been an issue on the console. Maybe the reason you can't play a game unless it's on a PC is because you don't have any thumbs. Maybe you should see if your Mom will let you move back in so you can work at Chuck E. Cheese.

[LordFeckington666]

Why doesn't Xbox just support usb keyboard and mouse?

The PS2 did it with Half Life.

[FnPwnage]

the console controls are inresponsive????

fuck you must suck pretty hard at this game if you have difficulty with controls. the controls are fine. there simple. easy to use and fluent between changing actions. the guys who do there reviews are morons. machinima needs to find some new game reviewers,

[Jordando12345]

@FnPwnage He's saying that it's easier to use controls for him, on PC you can change sensitivity, which buttons do what etc, and if he's more of a PC user then he'd prefer it

[Macackilwaine]

thats a little harsh.

[xanisk89]

What the fuck?? He didn't finish the first game? The first game only had 4 maps! Besides it's first and foremost a MULTIPLAYER GAME!

[EddieZaic]

L4D1 haves 23 maps and 6 campaigns.

[MadaraUchihaLegacy]

I've never played the first left for dead so I'm assuming I won't have the feel of betrayel by valve when I buy the game for christmas hopefully. Because it's sort've like what the dead pxeil says. If you play the second one first because you didn't play the first one you'll feel pretty good about the purchase. But I'm still abit hesitant. Anyone care to help me out if I should buy it? Through fresh eyes opinions preffered please.

[90524]

if you haven't played L4D, i don't see why you shouldn't get this. While it's not a SEQUEL in my eyes (L4D fan) it's better than L4D (quite obviously)

[MadaraUchihaLegacy]

Alright, thanks.

[J8X3TA9395]

this is better

[Petchhyy]

I don't see what people are complaining about.

It is a Valve game. Who are a PC developer.

And if anyone here disagrees that console controls are less responsive and less accurate they are complete morons.

It's personal preference at the end of the day.

And to be fair the PC version is graphically better, mods, free patches, Steam support plus being a fair bit cheaper.

[grim082000]

pc elitist = trash

[killerpieze]

the pc version is alot better. And chrash course was free on the PC xD

[NotArber]

You're cool because you place XD smilies at the end of your posts.

[randomperson300145]

Just to shed some light on this controller issue, the reviewer did clearly state that it was his own opinion.

[UTubeSrfr]

PC Elitists: The fags that make the rest of us PC users look like douchebags.

Fact is, yes, I'll have a keyboard and mouse any day. Yes, the user content available on the PC is a nice plus. But my friends all play it on Xbox. And I play with them. At my place, we play on my networked PCs. Its not about the platform; the only people who argue over their platform are the ones who can't afford the others so they whine and argue to reassure themselves that they didn't waste their money.

[pivotmaker999]

@UTubeSrfr thank you! geeze all gaming playforms have it's up's and down's.

[Varocity]

the controls seem fine with me for console. it's probobly different with everyone

[FenrisTakesRuneScape]

Yea in the dead pixel's reviews I usually always agree with what he says but I have this game and there are no control problems for me.

[Keytap]

It's a well-known fact that FPS games control better on a PC. They were designed for a PC.

That being said, the reviewer here did not do his job of reviewing the game. The best he could say was, "And Valve, they make good PC games, 'cause they're a PC company, and that's what is so good about it." Hardly a valid argument.

The game is superior on the PC because of DLC, controls, and a more reliable playerbase. It's a vast improvement on the original, and worth a buy if you enjoyed the first.

[The0Deo]

Someone who just plain sucks with a controller, but can persuade people it's the games problem because he does videos.

Don't believe everything you watch people, if you have used an xbox controller before, the controls will feel naturally fine.

(everything I said = he is an elitest)

[orenkar]

The controls are fine on the xbox.

[RadicalKid3]

Doesnt really matter if I use my xbox coz melee weapons are so fun and easy 2 use...

[BACUS666]

I think the creator of the video sucks with a controller. There is no control issue, you just suck.

[glaive616]

Noooo dont make the Pc elitists bash us even more i would be the same at aiming only with a mouse i cant aim for shit on one lol

[Whogopenguin]

This prick just sucks at a controller.

Why do you like his dumb opinion so much, nerds?

[r35boy]

ha i like when shitty xbox fans fight with pc gamers.(im a playstation fan)

[servitemike]

And I love it when people try to start flame wars. Makes me grin every time.

[FenrisTakesRuneScape]

yea me too

[Alain471]

I liked it. It was agreat expierience but i think they should have stayed with it always being dark. The first left 4 dead was scary until i got used to it. and putting it in daytime loses that scariness instantly...

[wolfdog95]

i played the first left 4 dead loved it and i played left 4 dead 2

and it is 10 times better than the first

[clemen6789]

xbox 360 sucks ****s

[anbu4312]

Have both Versions of the Game and would like to put out there that the PC version is not as superior to the 360 version as everyone is making it out to be...........I personally prefer the Counsel version cause Xbox and Xbox live is just easier to use and play online. Than all the constant modding and patches you have to download on the stupid PC and then you never know if your gonna have a fair match or not........PC gamers can suck it cause they suck and are retards :p

[XxGodOFLifeXx]

"Have both versions of the game.."

"PC gamers can suck it cause they suck and are retards"

You just called yourself a retard numb nuts.

[anbu4312]

My brother has the PC version cause hes a dumbass pc gamer fagg. Ive played em both and as I said PC gamers can suck it.

[SloeElvis]

The only PC game worth drooling over is Crysis.

[tengikboy]

emm....as a pc and console gamer

crysis isnt THAT good

trust me

the graphic is awesome but too demanding..

i can run high but not very high..

and trust me,many pc games that better than console...trust me...im being objective

[SloeElvis]

Trust you? I have Crysis... It is, simply put, one of the best first person shooters ever made. If not the best. It's a tough call between Crysis and Resistance 2 (my opinion, before any fucktard flames me).

[tengikboy]

well,im not gonna flame or anything

and it based on my opinion

IMHO i think that crysis is good because its graphic,nothin more

gameplay and presentation wise, many games is much better

like cod

[SloeElvis]

The only things better from COD4 are the actual gunplay and the weapon variety.

[SaberCowInk]

man you console guys are arrogant. An xbox is just a PC with a 3core processor and an ok graphics card and only one controller option.

[anbu4312]

I'm not being arrogant I'm merely stating that I think it's unfair for PC gamers to be hating on the 360 version and players simply because they enjoy the ability to modify games to some thing completely different from what it was released as. PC gaming is much to expensive and to ensure you have all the right equipment and compatible cards and crap is just stupid. I have an Xbox 360 and a game that will work when I put it in and its a great game so shut the fuck up.

[SaberCowInk]

... quite frankly the stuff you need for high end gaming is dropping in price... your allowed you own opinion mate, but when someone offers theirs don't take it personally. this is the internet. not some MTV show.

[anbu4312]

Mmmm still to pricey for the average gamer like me though.....and in that instance I believe that the Xbox 360 version is very much acceptable and not the "Piece of shit" all the PC trollers are making it out to be. What gets me is half of them were probably the same faggs in the L4D2 Boycott group.....lol..... I didn't take it personally lol and who even watches MTV anymore?

[Mike1245690]

Saying that your brother has the pc version cause hes a dumbass pc gamer fag makes you a troll too don't you think?

Nobody is hating people over a game or a console, they just like to piss off people and act like trolls, its just that people like you take it too seriously and personal for some weird reason.

Im starting to think that you are mad because you can't afford an good pc.

[SaberCowInk]

The problem lies in the fact that the game was built for PCs then ported onto the xbox system. the graphics are lacking, the frames per second are about 24, and the overall gameplay is ... eh. compared to the pc version.

thankfully no one watches MTV (and if anyone says they do then they = no one (simple algebra applied to english))

Want a good pc? buy a mac. :D

[TheBrownkid123]

Anbu should rearrange his name to aNUB.

[ihappy1]

well I loved the demo and I prefer console controls to pc controls, so I'm gonna buy it

[cfalcon07]

Yeah... go play the pc version with your friends... cuz there all on it... lol i'm sorry but the controls are not that bad! i guess it just depends on the person... but thank you for giving it a more respectable score it deserves

[Boehm815]

Yeah the Xbox 360 version sucks becaues you're too retarded to learn the controls. Good logic.

[shootandrunfilms]

learn the controls? there more simple than cod modern warfare as plus for the keyboard i cant see two things at once so whenever i try to do some thing i turn of my flashlight when i dont want it off in the dark.

[triFeral]

I like the PC version because you can replaced Rochelle with Zoey with a mod :3

[gmarproductions]

8.9 for the pc. 9.5 for xbox360

[omfg51]

This guy knows what he's talking about.

[wooimonutube24]

£15 for my copy prcing error ^ ^

[Shydrow]

Have to say the controls for the 360 are just fine i never have issues. Though really if you play the computer and system version then you will notice

[izPhil]

Thanks Dead Pixel. I could barely watch Rob's review because he was making biased rants all the time. I agree with you. Plus you are much more awesome than Rob :D

[pgf95]

this should be like 20$...

[impaledmessiah]

Wow. Thats way too high of a score for this game. More like a 6.5 in my book. The controls suck, the graphics are outdated and I got bored after playing it for about half an hour and went back to playing COD Nazi Zombies.

[Tylerburrito]

@impaledmessiah

That's the 360 version, it's shit compared to the PC.

[EeveeDaBomb]

Why does everyone always complain about the controls? I can use both fine whithout problems.

[Phleminem]

7.5 was way too low, I'm glad that Pixel gave it a more suitable score

[Cryroth]

8.9 is actually the score L4D 2 deserve , it added enough content to it , to make it a standalone pc game . well atleast pc game is cheaper .

[slaky12]

so you show gameplay of the console and say that the PC is better ?

[gorilla2150]

this score is too high

[flash453]

i cant understand wath ppl see in this game looks sooo booring only zombie game worth playing in my opinion is resident evile bur zombiez have bine done so mutch i despise it

[umx48]

if your going to form an opinion atleast use some proppor grammar. you look like a retard that never went to school.

[thomson91]

@umx48 haha that was a joke right?

[umx48]

yah, I like to troll the OMG GRAMMAR NAZI RUN AWAY retards.

[bloodydart42]

why are there proppor grammar fags invading youtube.youtube is a place where ppl dont give a fuck about "proppor grammar" so get the flamein fuck out of youtube asshole troll

[Phleminem]

Well i guess so but it does help if you're sure of what the person is talking about.

[Lockdown325]

Once again aiming with a mouse is debatable since people who grew up with consoles r better players with controllers than mouse.

[killingdj0]

its serouisly a 8.5

[kennylippiatt]

pc has the sharpest controls of any platform

[andrewstuk1234]

i think it is whatever feels more comfortable, but for these games i might agree. because when i play orange box and L4D on my 360 it feels like a computer game, but the controls still feel smooth. but counter strike on pc is way above counter strike for xbox.

[hardcore4377]

FPS games are made for PC's :|

[fyiiamaspy1]

what console issues? It works fine on xbox! I live for the controls! They are smooth and perfect!
