Step Aside MW2…

Left 4 Dead 2 is fucking awesome! The game was unlocked about an hour later than scheduled but damn it was worth the wait! Played quite a few VS. games with my co-workers and some random people. So much fun! The new infected are really evil if you can plan some good attacks with your teammates!

By far my favorite infected is the Jockey, nasty little bugger. Get the jump on some poor survivor and misguide them into danger such as spitter  goo, fire, or the best so far, off ledges from the hotel mission. Absolutely hysterical to see survivors run off the edge of a building with a Jockey on their back!

A quick note about the level design. It’s just brilliant! The start of Dark Carnival is just an invitation for the survivors to get owned as they weave through quite a few abandoned cars on the freeway. A standing ovation to you Valve! You guys are pretty much the last beacon of hope for PC gaming and you guys do it right! Bravo!

I have now forgotten about all of my frustrations with MW 2, thank you Valve.
