You can throw it at tanks from what I've heard to bog him down. There's even an achievement for it if I remember correctly.

There's an achievement to throw Boomer Bile at a tank. It's called Septic Tank. I don't think you can throw a defibrillator at anything though which would be the best. You're probably only able to use it like a medkit.

Defib regains 100% health?
Would have been better imo if it was like 25 or something.

I didn't say that. I was just making speculations on the conditions you need to be in before you can use it on someone and the way and amount that it regenerates your health. I also said that Valve probably hasn't released that information yet. We'll just have to wait until the demo/game is out to see.

I would hardly call COD1-3 and activision a role model when it comes to quality sequels. But whatever, I bought L4D1+2 because I have a good map idea : some of the newer multilayer content is more interesting. And tbh, I purchased the game because of the atmosphere that L4D brings to the table, and if L4D2 can do it I am all in. Plus, now I can also give a review without people being "LAWL you haven't played it."

TBH, the new multiplayer mode is what sold me into buying L4D2, without it it would have been a skip for me.

I still haven't seen anyone whine about the sequels not being expansion packs/DLCs.

CoD 3 was rushed garbage, other then that though I firmly disagree with you.
It's quite simple really. I want to be a professional level designer. I want this to be my job.

Notice how you removed the activision part, but yeah, you pretty much pointed out exactly what I was talking about.

Nobody complains because the publisher is renown for it. And if valve wants to be known for it too, it's fine by me as long as the games are entertaining, but people will only keep paying for so long, i.e. Megaman, Madden (whose sales figures are finally dropping), Halo, Tony Hawks Series, Street Fighter (pre DLC days), and various other games that released games too frequently for their own good. They were all pretty good games, but their downfall was too frequent releases!

I'm just saying, I personally hope they don't make it a habit but if they want to then whatever!

I don't care if half the stuff in that video would never happen in-game, that was badass as hell.

And did I see a SWAT zombie?

It's a Riot Gear zombie, but close enough to SWAT. It's one of the uncommon common infected. I think it's in Hard Rain.

Man, they tease with the story line to much.

I know ill get some story out of it, but like l4d, it'll probably be 10% of the story.

Valve has actually said that there's more story throughout it. The campaigns are linked together much more clearly and the characters evolve and change how they interact with each other throughout the campaigns. Say at the beginning in the first campaign (I think it's The Parish) they are sort of hostile to each other because they just met and only care about getting to the chopper. It seems that they find out they wont get rescued by chopper though and they have to work together. By the last campaign they'll have a much stronger relationship that will show in the dialogue.

Hopefully they aren't lying about that!
