This game sucks. The original Left 4 Dead is more fun. The new characters are dull. Their conversations are boring and unrealistic. The daytime maps are don't really fit the zombie theme for me. I prefer the night-time maps. Only good things are the new weapons. L4D2 maps should be ported to L4D pronto. What a disappointment.

*Update: the built-in addons subscriptions through the Steam workshop is cool but of course it has to be buggy and broken. I noticed if you switch users on Steam or just don't play L4D2 for a few days, all the addon-maps disappear and have to be re-downloaded upon launching the game. To make matters worse, you can't throttle the in-game addon downloads so while your online friends wait for you to download the maps on MAX bandwidth all of your roommates are screaming bloody murder because you've just done lagged their online competitive game or even gotten them booted from the server with your bandwidth-hogging downloads! This problem has existed forever. Way to go Valve!
