L4D and L4D2 are not very enjoyable at all in SP because the bots are just too incompetent and frustrating, always causing you to take damage or get into situations you wouldn't if they were contributing as meaningfully as an average player. This is far moreso the case in L4D2, though, as the bot AI was made a mere fraction as competent as in L4D1. Where the L4D bots are difficult to rely on when the going gets tough, the L4D2 bots fail to perform in the face of the most piddly, basic threats or setbacks. Thus, hell no, I would never, ever play L4D2 in SP.
I play L4D with my dad pretty much exclusively, and thus far, the bots in L4D2 are still so incompetent that I have a hard time enjoying the game even playing with one other human player. The bots simply don't perform well enough to keep needless frustration upon needless frustration from occuring, and at this point I've given up on trying to put up with it and gone back to just playing L4D. A year and a half down the road or however long from now, when the L4D team will hopefully have finally gotten around to making the L4D2 bot AI as decent as the L4D1 bot AI is now, then I might play the game again, but at this point... L4D2 is just a more frustrating game to play at all, let alone in single player, than its predecessor and I'm done with it.
