I really do like that they beefed up the difficulty. And Valve was not kidding when they said you won't be playing the same campaign, or the third one, etc. The paths that you have to follow do actually change up sometimes. It gets quite disorienting when you play with a group that doesn't know where they're going while you're thinking you actually do.

I will agree that melee weapons are somewhat overpowered, the axe and katana work wonders.

Funny little thing though, when you use incendiary or explosive rounds in your current gun, you can reload it and nothing will happen.
