Why don't they update L4D2 with new guns? It needs it way more than TF2. I never liked TF2 to begin with. I hate the unrealistic and kind of childishness to the game.
There are others that do not share your opinion... be considerate or we might share ours.

but i come on the soldier is way to over powered he has gun boats (less self rocket damage) new rocket launcher that heals +15 for each enemy hit and yeah it mulitplys if you hit 2-3-4 people at once and the whole pack you are more resistant to sentry guns but the idea of the new weapons are nice but the bonuses for the whole packs are not because it almost makes you have to buy the whole pack to get them its nearly impossible to get from random drops but it still wont make me stop playing the game so i dont know why im complaining
Ghost I think you're kind of confused. The set-bonuses require you to wear specific weapons + a hat (the set) to get the bonus. In other words, you can't use the rocket boots with the Black Box and still get sentry defense. I found this out yesterday, which makes the Sniper set balanced around the fact that they can't headshot other snipers either with the Sydney Sleeper (S.S. cannot headshot). The Soldier has to equip the Black Box + Battalion's backup + Grenadier's cap to get the bonus... meaning he can't sport the buff banner or shotgun. Is the 20%- reduction in ONLY sentry dmg really worth no shotgun switch if your rocket launcher's empty or VSing a pyro, or the incredible minicrits the buff banner provides? See where I'm going with this? It's all a series of trade-offs, unlike MMOs where the the newest stuff is the best - this allows you to have a larger variety of weapons that suit you.. preference, if you will.
Even the new rocket-launcher is a trade-off. +15 health a hit... but you only have 3 rockets loaded.
I like the new changes - it adds more depth to the game and compliments a class-structured game. You can tell Valve has had the idea for awhile (original medic update that introduced the Kritkrieg was two-years ago), and I can only imagine how far they want to take this game. My real negative view at this point is the methods of getting the new weapons. Crafting takes a very long time when you think of amount of random items you get. ... or you could buy them, but fuck that - we're gamers.
The point is: change is good!
