Pros:
-Original -Building barriers is effective, intense, and rewarding. -Difficulty ramps up as the game progresses, more common and special infected pour in. -Fair amount of special infected and tanks. -Well thought out and balanced item acquiring and progression. -So many things to build that distract you from the rocket.
Cons:
-Special infected spawning is predictable. -Map is small. -Environment is bland. -Bots are utterly useless, they can't acquire any weapons or health items you unlock, they're stuck to using only a pistol and using what health items you give them the whole time. -Techno music playing in the background is nice at first, but it eventually gets annoying and distracting.
Conclusion:
Original, fun, rewarding, great with friends. However, it's not much to look at cosmetically and bots are absolutely useless. So when you're like me, a guy who has no friends who own L4D2, and considering no one ever hosts custom maps other than Suicide Blitz, No More Mountains, or Blood Tracks, it's impossible to play in single player, although it's usually your only option.
