How does back4blood not match left for dead? I beat both lfd games before launching b4b and it feels all around better and way more polished. The ai doesnt fall off cliffs and get caught on things for me like it would every 15 seconds in lfd. You said the ai just sit there and do nothing, but thats never been the case for me so i dont know where thats coming from, the only issue ive had with ai is the bots not healing themselves unless you ping a med accessory or cabinet and they trigger lots of hordes via bird/car alarm. “They dont give you heals at the right time” this is the same as left 4 dead, youre meant to carry a healing accessory and you can heal literally whenever, and theres a randomized med cabinet every single level just like left for dead. unless your playing on veteran, it shouldnt be a problem unless you’re just bad at the game. You said some mutations feel like bosses and take two clips to kill? Youre either playing solo or with bad teammates on veteran or missing a bunch of shots/dont know the weakspots, it only ever felt hard for me on veteran. The weapon upgrade system is extremely minimal, but it provides undeniable benefits (twice as fast reloading, extra damage, faster swapping, longer clips, better sights, etc all of which do make a difference in the feel and effect of weapons though some quite minimal. I dont know why the pinging system doesnt work for you but does for my friends and I, but I know when playing on xbox you’re mic isnt always on idk where you heard that. To me this game feels like an upgrade to left 4 dead all around more so in mechanics/ visuals than level design, and thats the beauty of it, it was exactly what i was expecting. There are some minor complaints I have such as recruit being too easy and griefers in some lobbies, other than that I came expecting a game like left 4 dead and got more than id hoped. I dont know if people just expected much more for some reason, but when I heard turtle rock was making this game theres no way id expect them to go all out in experimenting with new features its mostly the same team as the original left 4 dead but without the backing of valve.
