It's going to be $40 on BF at Kmart. There is always a chance amazon will match it.

I agree. Actually, I think the game demos really well, and I'm surprised there wasn't one for the first game. I probably would have bought it if I played a demo.

There was a demo for the first one but they pulled it when the game was released.

The demo for the first game is really what sold it to a lot of skeptics, I think. I'm surprised they took it down.

Ah, y'know. I don't think I had gold membership when L4D came out which is probably why I missed it.

Re: Left 4 dead 2 - Demo Oct 27th

I got addicted pretty hard to the co-op mode in the first game. So getting the sequel was pretty much a no-brainer. Been enjoying the demo so far and can't wait for the full game. What I've seen via Youtube clips has been mighty impressive.

I don't play a whole lot of FPS's, so maybe I'm just more easily impressed than you guys.

Re: Left 4 dead 2 - Demo Oct 27th

Damn, at that price -- but I hate black friday shopping. I can't bring myself to do it. I hope there is some cyber-monday action on this game.

I KEEP playing the demo. I think I kind of love this thing.

Yeah, I had no interest in the first one until I played the demo. Played through once, got off the couch, went straight to the computer and placed a pre-order. That was a great demo.

How do you go about pre-loading it? I opened up Steam and don't see any kind of option anywhere to "pre-load" the game.

It was under my games I right clicked L4D 2 and selected pre-load and it started downloading.

Re: Left 4 dead 2 - Demo Oct 27th

I bit the bullet and pre-ordered thru Gamestop.....nothing better than swinging a Louisville Slugger for the fences using a Zombie's head....though I did like the frying pan.

Re: Left 4 dead 2 - Demo Oct 27th

The machete is my favorite - I think a players are going to wind up fighting over that thing. I love cutting through hordes and watching the zombies fall apart in several pieces.

Re: Left 4 dead 2 - Demo Oct 27th

Only ones I found in the demo were frying pan, nightstick, guitar, and machete. Machete was by far the most fun.

Re: Left 4 dead 2 - Demo Oct 27th

I'm playing this when it comes out. Looks like fun.

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-lFkXFqHc9E&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-lFkXFqHc9E&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Thanks to Eric Ruth and his PixelForce NES "de-make" of Left 4 Dead, we now have an idea of what the zombie apocalypse simulator would have been like had it released in the '80s. Valve is apparently aware of the project and finds the concept "hilarious." Ruth reveals that he plans to release the full game as a free download in early January 2010 for PC.

(edits to delete previous gamer rage post)

Decryption finally started after an hour delay. I can live with that.

Can't wait to play this sucker.

Re: Left 4 dead 2 - Demo Oct 27th

Unbelievable.
Just picked up my copy from Gamestop. First the guy hands me an XBOX 360 copy with the XBOX Live card for the bat, I tell him that I ordered the PC version so he switches them out but guess what....they have no bat exclusive cards for the PC.....
Going to try calling the 800 number tomorrow I guess and see if I can get them to give me a code but this is bullshit. If not then I will be returning the game and buying it from BB. Fuck Gamestop.

Funny, but I definitely won't be playing it. Looked pretty boring. I was hoping to see a Smoker, Hunter, Witch, or Tank.

Damnit, I want to play L4D2, but I can't pay full price for games anymore. Money is tight. Guess I'll check out Best Buy on Black Friday, or look for an online deal.

Buy now and wait till Amazon drops the price to $35 next Friday. Return said copy at full pop
