Got this game and finished playing. So here I am reviewing the game. Similar to the original series, Left 4 Dead 2 has quite the similar time-line but it has totally four new different character. Filled with 5 different campaigns and few other mods such as survival, scavenge and multiplayer, this game will last for quite some time. Now that Valve has added new modes almost every week, the game will actually last forever! (As long as Valve keeps adding new things in it)
New survivors
From left to right Ellis the mechanic, Coach the... coach, Rochelle the cable news reporter and Nick the gambler
One of the new cool addictions in this game will be the melee weapons. It's enjoyable to use + realistic sound effect when you whack the crap out of the zombies. Here are the 10 melee items that is available throughout the game:
Baseball Bat
Cricket Bat
Crowbar
Electric Guitar
Fire Axe
Frying Pan
Katana
Machete
police baton
Chainsaw
Sorry but I will not post screenshot for each of this melee weapon or else it will take years to load it all but basically the strongest melee weapon in he game will be the chainsaw. Once equipped with a melee weapon, you will not be able to carry any handguns anymore, so it's either handgun or melee weapon. You may still carry your primary weapon if you still want. All melee weapons can be carried permanently except for the chainsaw due to it's awesome nice. It will have a fuel lifespan and once it runs out you will have to discard it, so choose carefully for the best item combo.
Health items
In left 4 Dead 2, there are a few new health items that will help players to gain the upperhand in tight situation. As we all know, the classic medikit and pills is back and this time there are 2 more new health items that is added to aid the players. Meet Adrenaline syringe and Defibrillator, the new items that will bring up the spice in left 4 dead 2 game.

The Defibrillator, another type of medikit that is able to resurrect dead players is an interesting option to carry around. But that means you will never be able to use it for yourself compared to medikit. And the sad part is, you are only able to carry either medikit or Defibrillator, so choose wisely as well
The concept of Adrenaline syringe is to make the player to be able to perform faster maneuver when fighting and running, which means it's a steroid formula to make you last longer. once used, the sound effect around you will sound funky and weird until the medicine is weared out. You can only choose to carry pain pills or the Adrenaline syringe, so as usual, choose carefully.
Offense items
And just like Left 4 Dead 1, the old pipe bomb and Molotov cocktail is back in action together with several new items to aid you, The new items are:
1) Explosive Ammo Stockpile
2) Incendiary Ammo Stockpile
3) Bile Bomb
Incendiary Ammo stockpile/Explosive Ammo Stockpile

2) Incendiary Ammo Stockpile
3) Bile Bomb
Incendiary Ammo stockpile/Explosive Ammo Stockpile
Both of this items looks the same but the effects are just like what it's described as. Once a zombie is shot with Incendiary Ammo, they will combust in fire while explosive stockpile will... Make bullets to be explosive... Anyway, these items uses the same slot as the medikit slot but you can just deploy the ammo stockpile once collected and take back your health item. just make sure there are no greedy players taht will steal your item while you are deploying the ammos. i know some would steal it which is very annoying.
Bile bomb
Another item that is similar to pipe bomb except that this one is filled with the boomer's bile (I think is from Boomer...) All you have to do is toss this into a area like a pipebomb and once it explodes, a green smoke will come out, luring all the zombies over there temporarily.
Weapons
One thing that made me want to play the new Left 4 dead 2 is their new ranged weapons. It's hell a lot more variety and it's so fun to use them sometimes. Here are the list:
Tier 1:
Pump Shotgun
Sub-machine Gun
Silenced Sub-machine Gun
SIG SG 552
Chrome Shotgun
Tier 2:
Auto Shotgun (Tactical)
Hunting Rifle
Assault Rifle
Sniper Rifle
Spas-12 (Combat Shotgun)
SCAR (Combat Rifle)
Special Tier:
Grenade Launcher
AK-47
Heavy Machine Gun
Mini-gun
I don't think I can explain all of these but if you want to know more or see the picture in the game, please proceed here
New special infected!
this wouldn't be Left 4 Dead 2 if there is no new infected huh? Well the old ones are back in action with a few new ones! here are some of them:

The Spitter
It's a very disturbing looking special zombie that shoots out acid that is quite damaging to survivors if in contact. The green acid is similar looking to boomer but it will not affect the hordes to chase after you and once it dies, a pool of acid will there temporarily.

The jockey
it's a hunchback dwarf-like zombie that will jump onto a survivor like a hunter but has the ability to control the survivor and steer them away. If not careful, the jockey can steer them off from other survivors and prevent them from rescuing the victim. With not much hp, it's easy to kill but quite annoying if you ask me. Will have a few damages while the jockey is riding (literally...) the survivor.

The charger
With the half steroid, half retard body parts, the charger is one of the most dangerous and painful special infected zombies in the game. having the speed equivalent to the hunter and strength of a tank, the charger will charge towards a survivor and grabbed them with the steroid arm. Once a survivor is caught, the charger will slam the survivor to the ground until he/she dies. Each slam is aroudn 20 damage is considered very painful in the game, so the remaining survivors better need to be careful if you want to save your team mate. Their life is equivalent to a hunter only though.
Uncommon Infected in each campaign
Left 4 dead 2 have 5 different campaigns and each campaign there will be a special zombie in it. These are the 5 special ones in each campaign. Here are they:
1) Hazmat-suited Infected (CEDA Workers)
2) Clown Infected
3) MudMen
4) Worker Infected
5) Riot Infected

Hazmat-suited Infected (CEDA Workers)
Apparently, the hazmat suit zombie is a fireproof zombie but with the same amount of health as any other zombies. But sometimes once it's killed it will drop the Boomer's Bile. Only found in the first campaign.
Clown infected
This zombie is only found in the Dark Carnival campaign where theur job is to only make squeaky noises and attract a horde of zombies toward the survivors. A real pain in the neck if you ask me

Mudmen
The mudmen is found in the Swamp Fever campaign where they will crawl on four legs and try to camouflage under the muds. Once it, your vision will be mudded and this will become more with each hit. It will not slow down even when it's under the mud unlike the survivors.

Worker infected
The worker can be found in Hard Rain campaign where he will wear a reflective vest walking around. He will have an earpiece (makes him unable to listen to the pipebomb) and a helmet to prevent himself from getting headshot.

Riot Infected
One of the toughest infected compared to the rest as they were security guards with riot uniform, making them to have high armor and bullet proofs. Will take quite a lot of shots to finish him. Could be found in The Parish campaign only
Old infected are back as well with different design and costume though, the Smoker will have a new outfit while the Hunter will have more torn-up cloths, and boomer will have a male/female version this time, which is a bit disturbing if you ask me. Also the witch will be wandering around this time instead of sitting there like a cry baby.
The things I hate in this game!!
Weak AI skills
Alright, despite the fun things in the game, this game is still problematic to play. One of the first thing to notice in this game is that, the AI could be very weak sometimes when you are playing single player. It's either you are too fast and they are left behind or they take their own sweet time to save you when you are in trouble. Basically, it's very fustrating to play with AI as they are not dependable. Meanwhile, playing with real people in Steam is even worst due to lagginess and your team mate is always unaware that you are pinned down. You have to type it out only then they will realize...
High Graphic demand!!
For those people that say that game uses ripped model from Left 4 Dead 1, then you are wrong. this new series uses more graphic demand than the previous one and will hangs once in a while when encountering with huge amount of zombies. Think twice about getting this game if your computer can barely support Left 4 Dead 1!
Sound problem! (NEW UPDATE: Problem fixed with latest patch)
Game glitches! (Problem fixed with latest patch)
Conclusion
Left 4 Dead 2 is quite enjoyable when playing with your pals and buddies but when it's all to yourself, it's hardly that amuzing to play anymore
Rating : 8/10
