Bill is basically dead and they try to tug at your heartstrings failing miserably because of one big, and I mean BIG flaw. However, they really took it up the ass when it comes to game logic and story logic. This might seem like something minor as the original game only had First Aid Kits and Pills, but Defibrillators change the game up so much that it should become a big story element in the The Passing as there are Defibrillators in this and the previous campaign The Sacrifice. In Left 4 Dead 2, there are defibrillators that bring people back from the dead instantly. Have it! It's nowhere near a train wreck as The Sacrifice but it suffers from one HUGE Plot hole, the biggest in any video game ever. Want to see Coach, Ellis, Nick and Rochelle meet up with Zoey, Francis and Louis? Here. Oh, and a side note: The graffiti in the bathroom in a house you must pass through is very, very funny.Īfter the disastrous attempt at trying to create a campaign that Sacrifices the survivors from Left 4 Dead 1, it was apparent the damage had been done and now Valve had to do damage control with The Passing, a three level campaign that is basically just bad fan fiction. Left 4 Dead 2 wasn't perfect, but this expansion just might be. It really works by adding a “Oh yeah, and this happened along the way” chapter to the mix, rather than acting as an awkward and overly danger-filled “it wasn't over after all” type of chapter that we usually get, and personally I vastly preferred this approach. Well, The Passing adds a chapter where you need to pass the bridge that you raised at the end of L4D1, leading you on foot across the river to lower the same bridge again, this final showdown with the assistance of the heroes of L4D1, who don't appear to have left that location. And best of all, it doesn't do the usual thing of extending the ending artificially to justify its existence – instead, it goes like this: At one part in L4D2 Proper, you get a car, and the next set of levels pick up after that car has run out of gas. It also has the most stable difficulty of any L4D2 portions, being very challenging while never frustrating. The levels are more streamlined and, while there are multiple paths to your objective, you never got that “I'm missing out on a ton of stuff” feeling that you get with more open games, which I sometimes felt in the main game. It has all of the strengths of the original, all of the improvements of the sequel, and almost all of the newly-introduced annoyances have been left out. 1h 6m PlayedThis Expansion to Left 4 Dead 2, called 'The Passing', which fuses continuity (in the lightest of ways imaginable) is actually exactly what I wanted from the game in the first place. ![]()
