    Everything about L4D2 has seemed like some elaborate April Fool's Day hoax.

    Tell me about it. I mean let's go over the differences:

    1) L4D1 is in the night time. L4D2 is in the day time. Seriously, that builds my suspense like a parade.
    2) Replaced ominous horde music with fiddle music. Who the fuck came up with that idea?
    3) Incendiary ammo. Seriously, who comes up with these ideas?
    4) Witch that you used to try to sneak around, you now have to wait until she walks out of your way.
    5) Zombies in Hazmat suits impervious to fire. I can think of two things wrong with that.
    6) You can blow off zombies arms and legs... oh wait you could do that on L4D1? What about the face? Ok that's the new part, not to be confused with the head which you could blow off in L4D1... TOTALLY DIFFERENT!

    and of course the only real difference in the game

    7) Melee weapons. It's a good idea until you realize that the fists in L4D1 were already overpowered and had to get nerfed... TWICE! I mean how do they plan on balencing a smoker against a fucking chain saw?

    That's not to say I'm not going to buy it and enjoy it. I just wanted to point out that I agree with Exin that this all sounds like a joke.

    Man people need to do expert campaign in the PA groups more, I want to play them on expert at least once each but pubbing it is a bitch and a half. Either you get teamkillers, or you get terrible people who just got the game and are full of themselves.
    I mean I did just get it a week ago but at least I've played through all the campaigns like 5 times on advanced

    I don't mean accidental teamkilling or shooting one guy for hilarious reasons, I mean a guy joining, singing "Billie jean" over the mic, and shooting everyone in the face with a shotgun, then leaving.
    Yes, that happened.

    You need to get the clock tower working again so that the bell tolls constantly, then fight your way out as the zombie hordes are attracted to it.

    Actually, that sounds like it might make for a pretty decent panic event.

    There would have to be some sort of reason for attracting that horde. You wouldn't call a bunch of zombies to your location for no reason. An obvious solution would be that they are blocking a path, or they are too densely populated where you need to be. But it seems like something more interesting could be thought up as the reason for calling them.

    I stumbled accross L4D porno.....

    No, I'm not kidding... I'm sure someone's mentioned it before, but it's the funniest damn thing ever... It's a live action sequence involving Zoey, a smoker who's tongue is not what wraps around her, and after he dies, a hunter...

    Hilarious shit right there...

    Definately not safe for work....

    I'm sure it's been mentioned before though... Just thought I'd chime in and say how funny it was...

    It's the high pitch screeching of the crane that starts the horde coming. Its the same reason why the infected go after the pipe bombs.

    Something that's been bugging me... weren't the reload animations back in the beta a bit fancier? I noticed the third person animations for reloading are more realistic than they are for first person, and I also recall seeing videos on Youtube that demonstrated the more complicated (And IMO much better looking) reload animations.

    Anybody know why they were axed in favor of the generally more boring ones, even though they appeared to be the same length?

    Are there any mods out there that might reenable those fancier reload animations? I'd imagine they'd be useless for anything aside from singleplayer and playing with friends on local servers, but I'd still like to have them for that.
