Poll: The Passing - What did you enjoy the most?

[confessor]

While I don't feel like The Passing was "the most important campaign in the Left 4 Dead story", I did enjoy some of the new game play elements that came with it.

To clarify that first point, it seemed like there going to be a far larger context in which the new survivors interact with the old ones. Maybe its my bad for the interpretation but I thought that possibly they would fight beside us as bots against double the number of infected. The whole business surrounding us actually seeing them in L4D2 just, imo, didn't really work out. But the circumstances surrounding a certain survivor were quite sad.

However, the pacing in this campaign is just awesome - there was never a moment a spitter wasn't in play and it felt a lot more frantic than previous campaigns. The finale was a bit of a downer, seeing two tanks being massacred in seconds takes the challenge out of that form of game play.

So fair zombie killers, what did you find most enjoyable about the campaign?

The Golf Club. It's now my new favorite melee weapon, beating the Katana.

I played the campaign yesterday and it immediately became the second best in the game for me, first one being Heavy Rain. I voted Night campaign because that really made it all the more tense. I also tried and liked the M60, although it kinda screwed me over by running out of ammo at a dangerous part, in the sewers no less.

The M60 was useful when i held off zombies in the sewer, so my buddies can get up ladders

The fact that the old survivors give you cover fire from a balcony during the finale.

Initially I was looking forward to the Survivor interaction, but there was a lack of it. However, I do enjoy what they did with the Witch Bride. That creepy-ass version of Here Comes The Bride was a nice touch and I liked how Midnight Riders disturbed the Witch.

i most liked how you can give your pills to louis its funny.

The amount of threads flooding the forums about it, it was fantastic.

I havent played it, or either Left 4 Dead 1 or 2, So him dieing i suppose is the best part about it.

 

[tombman888]

i havent played it yet, so i wouldent know what i would like about it. possibly the midnight riders song and the new weapons.

ALSO!!!!! is the survivor that dies random, or is the same person everytime? and if it is the same person, who?

 

[confessor]

It's the same survivor, when you get round too it, you'll find out who.

Yeah the first time I hit that bit I forgot about the radio disturbing the witch. Brides are crazy enough, but a witch bride? Sheer terror.

It's the same person every time: Bill.

What i liked was definately the M60, just so much damn fun to blow away a horde, but what stood out was the end part of the sewers for me, i was just running across the scaffolding, heard the horde scream, turned around and all i saw was the scaffolding footpath descend into darkness, with a lone lamp lighting the rest of it, suddenly a wave of horde burst from the shadows across the scaffolding, poo came out as i unleashed the rest of my auto shotgun into them.

That was awesome.

 

[Striker501]

i enjoyed the passing, a bit sad that Bill died tho. But i Avendged him using his own rifle!

The best part of the DLC is the Mutations. They're going to keep people coming back to play every week and keep the game fresh, which is what I need with L4D as I'm slightly bored of just running through campaigns.

 

[Aptspire]

I liked when Zoey laid down some cover fire, but mostly the witch that 'was left at the altar' XD

 

[9NineBreaker9]

I liked... well, all of it really. It is bright and has an aesthetic not really seen in any other campaign yet (the bright red signs provide some visual contrast) I can't recall being in any other campaign, and has two of my favorite moments (the witch bride and the sewer gauntlet). I didn't entirely mind that you didn't see much of the L4D1 cast...

I don't like the finale though. Playing it alone is painful, and having to collect all 16 gas cans when playing multiplayer is pretty difficult when not everyone fully understands what you should do (like two of my friends, who refused to touch more than one gas can at any given time). But... meh. I suck at the gas can thing anyways xD

But, as a whole, easily one of my favorite campaigns. Frantic, well paced, and a welcome aesthetic change.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

So much. I liked seeing the old survivors up on that bridge, I loved the new uncommon infected, the foot lockers, the new locations, and especially the new jokes. This is probably up there with Crash Course as the funniest map as in the stuff the survivors say and the messages written on the wall.

The only thing I didn't like is the insanely hard finale. It's just unfair. We got about 9 cans tops on Expert with a full team doing relatively well the first part of the game.

 

[FetaFrosch]

I really like the new weapons and other stuff like the boxes with molotovs as well as meeting the old survivors but seeing my favorite character beeing dead made me a little bit sad

 

[kiiru]

The new weapons were the best part, the M-60 being extremely satisfying to play around with, shame the new stuff is only on 'The Passing' and not on the others

 

[MajorKris]

There were many things about it I like. I agree with the pacing, it's incredible. But I voted for the interactions, simply because I'm a sucker for banters. Oh and caches full of Adrenaline shots.

"Look y'all! I found a candy bar! ....oh wait."
