Left for Dead 2

I wanted to get this but im having second thoughts. Is it good. I dont play online alot and all i can see is they are running around killing zombies which sounds fun but it sounds like it can get boring

Get the demo or rent it first, single player is ok but to get any thing out of it you need to play online with friends. Running around killing zombies is great fun though!

Only get it if you plan on playing online. There is matchmaking so you don't need to go inviting people - its all very automatic. Very fun times to be had with this. The first one is just as good and cheaper though.

agreed with Tony. In terms of single player the game is ok but won't have too much replay value. Find yourself in a regular team online though and the game takes on an almost never ending life.

Ill take a look at the demo but with the fact i barely get to go online these days i have to find a great single player game thats not assassins creed 2( finished already) or dragon age

dont bother getting it unless you plan to play online because thats when its boring playing on your own with retard cpu teamates

Single player is like dragging 3 kids around with you. They're always behind you and not doing what they should. As said get the demo or rent it if you dont be playing online.

I gotta say ive not had good experiences with this game, i havnt played the single player and every multiplayer ive joined i get kicked cause im rubbish which is a bit **** really. Thats just my 2 cents anyway.

Then go away and play the damn singleplayer. That's why it's there. I can tolerate noobs who are willing to go away and play the singleplayer, but if you cba, what's the point?

OP: Why don't you play online?

I'd be inclined to say don't get it unless you play online, unless you have friends over a lot and can do couch co-op, then it may be worth picking up.

Also agree that the single player mode should be used first to get you used to the game before you jump online. It'll even make you better at playing as a special infected as you'll see what tactics the computer uses against you which will give you a rough idea how each one needs to be played.

Bots won't kick you while you're learning the ropes. The Left 4 Dead crowd can be a pretty unforgiving bunch. What I did was I played through a couple of the campaigns first on my own just to get the feel for the game so I wouldn't be yelled at (as much) online!

We should really get a night of this and maybe some versus going.

It'll just give you a bit of an edge going into the multiplayer, frustrating and all as it is. I think people are so unforgiving in it because the game itself is so unforgiving, really punishing you for every mistake. Most of the time you're just barely making it to the safe room so there's little room for error. Some people take it far too seriously though. I've been on teams that we've all been playing well, while on the other side the team are kicking people left, right and centre. I'll help anyone to a degree, but if someone's ignoring your help or advice and just making the same mistakes over and over again, then it gets frustrating as hell. Not saying that you are or anything. I can just see how people can get totally intolerant towards mistakes.
