Warning - may be minor spoilers:

So, thoughts on the demo? I've only played 30 mins with bots, but so far:

 * Runs really well. The multicore stuff actually works now? It just made the game crazy for me before.
 * New special infected look good. Maybe they're just quiet or I was dazed this morning, but the new ones are catching me out sometimes. The charger is brutal, I love the animation as he pile drives you into the ground.
 * Tank AI is supposed to be better but seemed kind of similar. I stood next to him while he chucked rocks at my team Smiley
 * Smoker is hiding in some damn sneaky spots.
 * Feels a little harder than before (ok, was with bots). Suspect soloing is not an option, teamwork is vital.
 * Nice new toys. I want to defibrillate someone!

Nothing really new, but I like what I see and look forward to playing with people.

I like the look.

I think it looks better...

MOAR Weapons!
The melee weapons are awesome and the task where you have to run through the fences was a nice.
I also like the sound of the different weapons - the SPAS Pumpgun *hmmm*  Cheesy

The new infected offer more variations in different situations - like the cop zombies.

It's veeery brutal - you can shoot holes into their stomach and you can see everything  Shocked
The physics are better - pipe bomb explosions looked very good.

My team wasn't very good, but it was still fun.

Didn't find a chainsaw, but the guitar was awesome Cheesy

There are small things in the map which are cool, like the jukebox in the bar.


edit: the jukebox plays the portal song sometimes Cheesy

the bulletproof zombies are surprisingly tough to deal with - if you had a few of them to deal with it makes things pretty tough to try and shoot them in the back whilst avoiding the other hordes.

i've yet to be attacked by a jockey. i think it looks fun!

Yeah it is fun!
You can try to have effect on the movement - it doesn't work good, but thats just fair.

The CPU-Jockey is surprisingly good enough to lead you away from the group and his damage output isn't bad.


The adrenalin injection is very cool.

I felt like - look at me! I am Jason Statham and this is Crank! Nobody can stop me!  Cheesy

Adrenaline and a melee weapon is great fun. Also useful for general horde fighting in a small area, since it means you don't get melee fatigue.

So far I've enjoyed the demo. A definite upgrade in comparison to L4D 1.


 * Tank AI is supposed to be better but seemed kind of similar. I stood next to him while he chucked rocks at my team Smiley


The main improvement I've noticed in the tank AI so far is that, instead of fruitlessly pummling an already incapacitated survivor, he instead abandons the incapacitated player in favour of attacking the other survivors.  

The new infected add an interesting new element to the game. The jockey has caused some heavy damage in the past, particularly during a horde attack.
