L4D and L4D2 are so similar I'm not sure I understand how one is muted and the other is too Hollywood. The only real differences between them are a few changes to infected, melee weapons and some additional gameplay mechanics.
E: there's a really cool technical presentation here that goes through some of the technical changes in L4D2 [1]

- vinkelhake 13y agoIsn't that the same presentation that this post is about?
- actionscripted 13y agoHaha...yes, sorry about that.
- chc 13y agoLeft 4 Dead 2 punishes you much harder for going slowly. The Spitter and Charger were introduced for that express purpose, and a number of other mechanics (like crescendos) were changed in that direction too. That's probably what jebblue means by "muted" vs. "Hollywood" — the pacing.
- jebblue 13y agoI could expound more but it might be seen as drivel. I'd say your example is right on chc.
