It's a rehash, not worth the asking price at all. Played no differently then the first L4D, other than the additions of melee weapons (which who cares when you have fing shotgun).

HotRevolver

Which is why I will not buy it for full price. Maybe when it drops to 20 or 30.

[QUOTE="Odrec"]If games like Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and Tales of Vesperia for PS3 are considered enhanced versions of the originals then with this is the same. Some improvements but overall it's the same game.bobbetybob
Yeah but it's not though is it, because it's got completely different missions, new game modes, completely new set of characters, new weapons, lots of new gore and dismemberments, update graphics, updated AI director, new enemies, and new ways to play the game (boomer bile and adrenaline add a lot to the game). I don't see why suddenly all sequels are expected to have completely different gameplay to the previous game, considering sequels have never done this before, and there are plenty of others coming out that nobody is moaning about, dunno why everyones getting pissy over MW2 and L4D2, does SW not like good games?

No, SW doesn't like companies that push out games annually with big price tags and innovations that could've been added through a patch. The big issue with THOSE 2 games in particular is that people already know that the single player campaign for MW2 isn't going to span more than 4-6 hours. We all know that save for a few weapons and perks the multiplayer will remain the same. With L4D2 people are mad because Valve promised DLC and support for the first game that they never delivered on.

Now it's, "Remember those extra campaign missions we promised? Well here they are!"
FAN: "Oh, cool! It's DLC, right?"
Valve: "No, it's a whole new game!"
FAN: "Umm, okay. So it has like, twice as much stuff as the full game right?"
Valve: "Oh yeah! It has FIVE campaigns!"
FAN: "...but the first had four. That's only one extra."
Valve: "But it's tooootally worth it."
FAN: "So this is gonna be cheaper than the first game?"
Valve: "Oh no, it's the same price!"
FAN: ":("

I suppose you can see why people would be disconcerted.

To put it in perspective. Wipeout Fury had, relatively, pretty much the content you're describing here comparing it to Wipeout HD and it was released as an expansion and priced as an expansion.

This is the exact same case with modern warfare 2. Take it how you like.

L4D2 is one of the most shameless rehash'es ive ever played. The melle weapons add nothing to the gameplay and all the guns are essentially the same. 60$ for this ?? Passsssss

It's a great time to pick up the first game for thirty bucks; the price it should have been in the first place. Wait a year and get the second for the same price next year.

Looks like the verdict is unanimous: L4D2 is a frickin rip off. TC, come on. Stop being delusional. beekayjay
No one said it was a Rip-Off............a Rehash that is worth the money? if the core gameplay was majorly changed, it would have lost what made it so great

LOL the price it should have been? L4D has way more lastability than most console games and was a darn sight better than the majority too

Opinion stated as fact still remains opinion. I thought L4D was a fun distraction at best, I believe my friends and I put maybe a good couple of weekends into that game than it sat on the shelf. My opinion is the game was never worth $60.00 and for that reason I will as well pick this one up after the price drop. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

I'll say it is a rip off for the price tag it has.
