L4D2 games frequently suffer major lag because of the poor matchmaking / networking and the game is fundamentally broken on multi-GPU setups (requiring you to alt-tab at the start of each level). So while the core game might be very enjoyable when everything works right that's very different to calling them great games. Personally I think L4D2 is a shadow of the original - it lost all the atmosphere the first game had and spams more special infected at you.

I personally think that L4D2 is much improved over L4D in every respect except the characters who had much more of a personality in the first game than the second. As for multi-gpu issues... I'm using SLI and I haven't had any problems. Not denying that this or other quirks exist... At least a couple of times now I've had Versus games where one team got a tank and the other didn't... Talk about a bug that totally unbalances the game eh? But it is better and more enjoyable than most games out there, and Valve do keep updating the game to make it better, so I don't really mind it that much.

Ps
spindoctor your signature could read "Some of the most....." as it stands its an insult to those of us, and there are many, that for the most part contribute positively to this fine site.
As it stands you just come off sounding like a little pompous ar$e hole.

I agree. I wrote it in a moment of frustration when all I see is people complaining and bitching about anything and everything. So much negativity pervades the site some times that it sucks all the fun out of gaming, which is ironic and a little sad.
