Left 4 Dead

L4D2's campaigns and characters seem a lot more trivialized than L4D, I think they tried to give it more of a horror comedy-style atmosphere compared to L4D's classic horror atmosphere. Either way, I liked L4D more in that regard as well.

I think our strategy for the Sacrifice needs to go something like this:
Turn on the 3 generators in any order, fighting anything that comes at us. But saving 1 pipe bomb.

Once we get on the bridge, someone mans the machine gun. The person with the pipe bomb runs towards the generator, and throws the pipe bomb. We need to do this before the 4 tanks spawn/rape us.
The person on the machine gun, and whoever else is on the bridge gives covering fire, while the person who had the pipe bomb restarts the generator.

Hopefully the pipe bomb will allow us to get the generator started without getting raped.

We all get away safely! Except for the person who had to start the generator. He's screwed.

Whoever designed the last part of The Sacrifice should be shot...

Also, what the hell sort of smiley is ?

Yes, this is the way it is mean't to be done, one must go and start the generator and thus sacrifice him/herself for the team.

After looking into it, it only takes 2-3 seconds for the generator to restart.

From what I gather, the ending cutscene starts as soon as the generator is restarted.

It does. The game wants someone to blitz the last generator, before the team is screwed.

I read somewhere that in the console version, the player who sacrifices himself/herself gets to do a "final stand", that is, the it ends when that player gets beaten down for real. So you can actually go out in a real blaze of glory!
