In my honest opinion, while I think a lot of the new content is great, I think it still has a lot of balance problems and AI issues. When I say the AI is dumb, I didn't mean just the survivors AI. The enemy AI also tends to be pretty dumb as well, and hardly a challenge if your team knows how to stay together and simply rush through. I did it several times on Expert with a few exceptions which, in my opinion, shouldn't even be possible.
Overall, what I was trying to get at, and failed to mention it in thi particular manner, was that it seems more like an expansion pack and not really a full sequel (new enemies, new guns, new weapons), since gameplay-wise, it is still almost exactly the same. I can justify this because the things that annoyed me about L4D 1 I didn't feel were properly addressed. If I complain about them, then certainly I'm not the only one, because I know people complained about the same things I am now in L4D 1. Not to mention it still uses the exact same engine. It just has better graphics this time. I'm missing the "wow" factor that I was expecting, and everyone seems to be overhyping about. Sure, it LOOKS better, but it plays almost exactly the same, unless you did what I did a couple games and tried to do melee-only. Which typically fails, but is good for laughs. I actually got to the middle of the hedge-row area but I died when I tried to cr0wn a wandering witch with my machete. Catastrophic (though expected) fail. Though it is fun, I still can't see myself buying it for the full price. If I get news about major issues fixed, then I would be more than happy to. But as is, I'll probably end up waiting a while til the price drops.

And while those singleplayer you list possibilites do exist, for me they aren't a viable option to enjoy the game. If I temporarily don't have the option to play with my friends or other people on the net, instead of fighting bots in a game clearly designed for multiplayer I'd rather play something with a full-fleshed singleplayer-experience.

What I don't understand is your second paragraph. Though I fully disagree, I won't argue with you if you think it doesn't warrant a sequel, that's for you to decide. But unlike you I feel that all the annoyances of L4D1 are being adressed in L4D2: If you don't have time for the sometimes very long Versus-matches you can play a few rounds of scavenger, any kind of corner-camping will be eliminated by the charger and the spitter, lack of variety in both survivor and infected play is adressed by more weapons/tools and more SI, crescendos are no longer boring events where everyone just points his shotgun at the only entrance to a small room. What exactly are thinking about when you say that there are unadressed issues?

HI, BILLY MAYS HERE

Anyone ever want to take into consideration that there are people out there that don't have the option to play online and can only play offline but still want an enjoyable gaming experience?
Yeah, welcome to the idea of "single player development"...Just because there are a lot of people that can doesn't mean there are a lot of others who just can't...

l4d2 is VERY f***ing hard on expert compared to l4d1, on certain levels especially because they're so long now, takes 2 hrs to beat a campaign on average. And that's not considering the millions of retrys.

Very fun game
I love the new infected. They make levels a lot more interesting especially levels where you can push people off edges. I also like how you can't really hide in a corner anymore together to fight a horde and how horde's come more frequently than before! |

The new versus is absolutely frenetic, intense, hard and brilliant. Effective attacks really hurt now and pretty much any combination involving the spitter can really rip a team apart. And all the new infected are useful and fun to use.
Level-design is great, the new weapons are great, melee weapons are vicious (and actually useful!). Overall it feels very different from the first L4D and improved on every single aspect of a game I already loved. L4D2 will keep me entertained for a long, long time.
