I recently got Left 4 Dead 2. There are five campaigns, each of which is one big story. There are melee weapons that kill with one hit. a few new weapons. New infected like the Spitter that spits acid that hurts you alot, and a few others that are fairly easy to kill. You can have either a pistol or a melee weapon, not both. Getting rescued is a challenge where you have to get yourself out of the area gathering items and stuff like that. With these in the game, why is the game worse than Left 4 Dead? Is it because of the way the melee weapons are too powerful? Is it because some of the Infected's powers are too damaging? maybe it's how ridiculous some of the situations get in the game. I think it's because of all of those. The game itself is alright, a few elements from the old game are present, but the game isn't "Edge of your seat" quality. you feel like you're walking through the park shooting birds down instead of fighting for your very survival. If you go to buy the game, that's fine by me, but take this into consideration before doing so. If you do buy it or have bought it, I hope you had a better experience than I did.

Have you tried turning the difficulty up?

Let me heat that up for you... 
lol, this is one of those cases where someone goes on and on about an issue then someone just says a short, simple question... "Have you done this?" so obvious.

Play Killing Floor. It's a nice breeze on Beginner but it gets f*cking hardcore on Normal and up.
Sorry for being inactive, was busy with school stuff and HDD reformatting.

Killing Floor is a very bad game compared to the L4D games. If you need difficulty, try and play versus with my friends and I.

I beg to differ. I really think Killing Floor is unique because of it's atmosphere. It's a real survival horror game. Left 4 Dead is more like... well, a comedy game since there's no horror stuff in it and those zombies running at 250 miles per hour are really, really funny.

It's a game about a Zombie apocalypse. To say there is "no horror" is a tad misleading.

Still, L4D2 hasn't grabbed me like the original did. I think some of the purity has been lost with the new special infected, melee weapons and equipment.

The way I see it, L4D2 is just another extension for the original game, though I do see some improvements with textures and the like in L4D2.

I first played on normal, too easy. went to the next two, a bit harder, but all of the things I said are still there, my little brother thinks I'm crazy. Hmph, maybe I'm getting a bit too good for games. I need a game that is ridiculously hard, but still fun to play, like Headhunter: Redemption.

Hmmm... how about IWBTG? You'll be glad if you never find out what game I was talking about.

Mmmm, pizza. 
But I love that game

A game that's less impossible than IWBTG, yet still fun, is N. Yeah, it's just called N. It means Ninja, or something. You're a ninja-stick-figure-dude trying to survive a bunch of robot-infested levels. And gold. And traps. It's quite fun.

Life? What's that? Can I download it?! 
I played N so much when I was younger. I really liked the level edit system.

IWBTG is kinda alright, I don't get frustrated by the constant dying, but I would like to get past the second screen at least once.

IWBTG = I Wanna Be The Guy

One of the HARDEST games you could ever play, within the first five minutes of playing you will have probably died ten times.
