Resistance 2 vs Left 4 Dead *CO-OP EDITION*

If you were to choose and play either one of their co-operative multiplayers, which would you choose

Resistance 2's co-op has:

support for 8 players

splitscreen offline + online

unique classes

huge boss fights

a ton of enemies on screen at once

experience points system

Left 4 Dead's co-op has:

support for 4 players

ability to revive your teammates

fun mission objectives

zombies

Both co-ops:

strongly rely on teamwork and communication

has scary things running at you

On paper, Resistance 2's co-op probably sounds more awesome but I'd probably go with Left 4 Dead for its more realistic atmosphere.

both games are different and great in their own right.whodeysay85

well spoken and I agree with whodeysay85

I personally like R2 more because i find it a lot more frantic but l4d has its moments (even though I am not the biggest fan) 

Left 4 Dead hands down for me when playing with friends, much more fun. If I am playing online against other people then R2, does not feel the same playing Left 4 Dead without friends.Grady420

this

also: L4D is the best multiplayer game to date, it may only be 4 people, but that dosent mean its not fun. I enjoy it more than 50 player games of cod4

I actually returned Resistance 2 so I can get Left 4 Dead.

Ridiculous question. Only staunch cows should be able to honestly answer Resistance 2. -_-... I guess those looking for a simpler experience could say Resistance 2... rolo107

Resistance 2 has WAY more depth and needs more skill. And needs actual cooperation (aka spec ops supplying ammo and medics healing). Lots and lots of cooperation

Left 4 Dead isn't a bad game by any means. It's very enjoyable, but it lacks alot of depth that I expected it to have. It's insanely overrated. 

I heard Resistance 2 co-op is good

L4d co-op is great

Play Left 4 Dead on expert and then come back here and tell me that it doesn't need cooperation. Seriously L4D is has hard as hell on expert and if you don't work as a team you basicly screwed.

Yes, millions of hordes of zombies coming at you does fit the term "realistic atmosphere"

lol but yeah in all honesty Left 4 Dead was built around co-op so i would imagine it to be the better choice.

you played it wrong

expert or nothing

after playing no mercy on expert even advanced is a cakewalk

Don't put words in my mouth. I never said it doesn't need cooperation.

I just didn't like L4D after playing R2 because L4D is missing alot of the depth which R2 has. It's not a bad game by any means but staying close to your teammates and shooting enemies isn't coop in my books.

Both versions of Left4Dead have splitscreen, btw.

And Left4dead, definitely.

 You haven't played L4D thats very clear, at least not on advanced or Expert.

Here's the difference between these two coop modes:

With Resistance 2's coop you're not playing in the story campaign cooperatively, you're playing an entire alternate perspective of it.  And I could understand why you couldn't coop in the story campaign mode because it was a weak story with uninteresting characters.  Anyway, the coop didn't really have a story, all you do is kill the enemies so a gate can open, kill more bigger enemies so the next gate can open, and so on.  Some people might like that simple basic thing, so yeah.

While with Left 4 Dead's coop, you're actually doing cooperative play in the main story mode itself.  So you and your friends will experience the story together.  And the way the story is presented is like a movie.  Heck if you checked out the hype threads for Left 4 Dead you probably saw the cool movie posters for each campaign.  Also every playthough in Left 4 Dead will be different, so it's not like Resistance 2's coop where you have to kill these expected enemies  so that expected gate can open, it's just different everytime you play so you will always choose a different path and always have different strategy in Left 4 Dead.

Left 4 Dead was created with coop in mind while Resistance 2 coop was designed to be a mess.   I mean think about think, what if all of you wanted to be the heavy gunner or whatever in Resistance 2, now what.  That just mean that being the medic wasn't neccessary, because you could actually advance even if all of your team were heavy gunners.  So I don't think Resistance 2's coop have depth at all. 

So both coop of these two can be fun for anyone but if you want the better thoughtout coop Resistance 2 is left for dead and Left 4 Dead is the better choice to have a better experience.

yes you did

In L4D you can play as a zombie, hence L4D >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> R2.loco145

In R2 you can play as Chimera, hence R2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>L4D :)

[QUOTE="loco145"]In L4D you can play as a zombie, hence L4D >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> R2.n00bkid

Actually Resistance 2 had Chimera zombies called Chimera Grimms but you can't play as them.

So Left 4 Dead >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Resistance 2

If you actually played R2 online you would know you can pick human or Chimera, same with L4D im assuming? but either way R2>L4D? :) nice try though

And if you actually read, I said Chimera GRIMMS, you know those things that comes out those cocoon pods that runs at you at the Chicago level.  You can't play as those in the multiplayer, nice try though.

Why are you talking GRIMMS? :| all im saying is you can be both species just like L4D. What did GRIMMS ever do to you to get singled out :(

n00bkid

Because GRIMMS are the zombies in Resistance 2 and you can't play as them while you could play as zombies in Left 4 Dead.  Shooting zombies are the IT thing this season for shooters, but only in Left 4 Dead is where you can play as one.

Your information is wrong TC. Left 4 Dead has both offline and online split screen for both PC and 360 and tons of enemies on screen at once; on expert you can have as many as 30(Could be more) zombies it seems clawing at you at the same time, including bosses.

Expert requires insane amounts of cooperation. soo much so that if you have even one bot you are pretty much screwed. (like I said in another thread it took us 2 hours to beat the last stage of No Mercy and it was usually because the our strategy would fall apart the second the bot got involved.

I own both. R2 is fantastic, but L4D will be getting more of my gameplay time. :)BioShockOwnz

of course it will i wonder why?

But i prefer R2 most of my friends play it and i love it. I played the demo of l4d and wasnt impressed.
