erh... they made like 30 different versions of interaction..

play with friends and play it more then once
and this didn't feel rushed at all.. level design was great man

why does a gamming community whine about stuff like this all the time.. seriously every forum I go I see people complaining.. can't they just go with the flow and enjoy the game :(

edit: any yokai, you can say shit about valve.. l4d2 still has allot of stupid bugs and was released way to early
and surivor AI is frustrating

It isn't whining, it's people expressing things they liked or did not like about an art form. Since games are an art, people will either like or dislike either the premise or the way one presents the work. I'm not a huge fan of valve's presentation of narrative, I love their character designs. Their gameplay could use some balance tweaks at more frequent rates.

Having said that, it is a free update. I'm honestly not complaining at all... I'm kinda pissed though that if I like a mutation, I can't play it whenever, I am forced to wait weeks (seeing as there's like 20 gametypes, that's like 6 months) for it to come back around, it's a little irritating.

the mutations are genius, this will keep me entertained for weeks
like I said, just go with the flow

edit:
btw yokai, there is hope tho, after every month you can vote what was your favorite and it will come back the next month :)

I think they are just testing the players on a mass scale and see what works best

Well like I said, I really enjoyed it. It's about even with any other official campaign for me.

There are a lot of sound files for both the original cast along with the l4d2 cast. I think we have some more stuff to look forward to with these mutations.

"Ellis: DUDE! THIS IS JUST LIKE TEAM FORTRESS 2!!!"

When I looked through the sound files:
There's something with aliens
and something with a prison
and something with a military training base
and something with a train
and something with a movie theater
and something with tf2
and something cold with snow
also something with ghosts


those were community submitted line requests. Mine was about the military base.

I didn't have a single problem with the bot survivors. Don't go around saying that the campaign is unplayable just because of a few nav glitches that you experienced. Even back in l4d, on the rooftop finale, sometimes people would hang onto that lamp post like it was a cliff. But that campaign wasn't unplayable, was it? Besides, you can't really judge the Passing for a fault that exists in the greater game itself. If it were any other campaign, the bots would have been crushed by the car. (Besides, this is a coop game, not singleplayer)

Also, what makes the gameplay mediocre? What makes for good gameplay?

It was fun.

Didn't finish it though, because the server crashed, and then people left since we were playing it for quite a while, so yeah.
