Comparing this to Half-Life 2 in terms of actual design ambition is a joke... one built a world, the other put four people in a room and called it a game.

About Left 4 Dead 2
Left 4 Dead 2 is a cooperative first-person shooter video game, the sequel to Valve Corporation's Left 4 Dead. The Game builds upon cooperatively focused gameplay and Valve's proprietary Source engine, the same game engine used in the original Left 4 Dead. Set during the aftermath of an apocalyptic pandemic, Left 4 Dead 2 focuses on four new Survivors, fighting against hordes of the Infected, who develop severe psychosis and exhibit zombie-like tendencies. The Survivors must fight their way through five campaigns, interspersed with safe houses that act as checkpoints, with the goal of escape at each campaign's finale.

En este puesto, cada duelo es el mismo debate de siempre y al final nadie cambia de idea. 68% de victorias está bien pero no le veo tanto mérito frente a lo que enfrenta.
NeonRider
Bueno, no todo duelo tiene que reinventar la rueda para que el resultado importe. El 68% se gana partida a partida, no en discusiones eternas como esta.

Half-Life 2 hooked me for the story, this one I remember mostly for shouting at friends over a mic.

Recuerdo las noches enteras con mis primos jugando esto después de haber gastado horas en el Half-Life 2, y aunque este segundo me gustó más por la variedad, siempre volvíamos al original con más cariño, no sé si era nostalgia o qué.

Never finished it myself, only a few campaigns here and there, but even I can tell it doesn't reach for what Half-Life 2 was reaching for.

Enfin ce qui tient encore aujourd'hui, c'est la maniabilité, ou plutôt la simplicité des commandes qui rend tout instantané malgré l'âge du moteur.
