Valve dates and details L4D2 demo News
PC Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Valve has laid out pre-order and general release timings for the Left 4 Dead 2 demo.
They're soon, but not as soon as the Eurogamer Expo, where you'll be able to play L4D2 co-operatively within touching difference of your friends. Leeds and London are the locations. The cost: just six quid. The EG Expo mini-site has the scoop. But buy quick; ticket sales are accelerating.
PC owners win, as the pre-order (Steam, participating retailers) demo goes live on 27th October, with open access following on 3rd November.
Xbox 360 picks up the baton from there, as Xbox Live Gold members can play from 3rd November, and Silver members from 10th November.
The Left 4 Dead 2 demo offers gameplay from The Parish campaign. Up to four people can play, with two-player split-screen an option on Xbox 360. All of the new boss Infected and melee weapons are present in the demo.
Left 4 Dead 2 launches on Steam on 17th November and in shops on 20th November.
Our gamepages below have much much more information.

@DDevil
It's easier to make friends in this game than to pick up fanny at a pub. Hell, I'll play with you, if you want (if you game on the PC, that is). Also, I wish it would be said just how much of Parish would be playable, or what modes are unlocked. Useless information, but it would make me more excited.

If I pay my £6 for the EG Expo do I get one free smack on the EG staff member who annoys me the most?

No, I merged the two theses and offer them a game of Left 4 Dead. Works every time. |

I'm on the fence about this, so haven't pre-ordered. Denying me access to a demo isn't exactly encouraging me to take the dive.

You're not being denied access. You can get it on the 10th of November.
The GAME pre-order offer is for 360 and PC, and you should get the code by the 27th of October (even for 360). |

Left4Dead is the premier 'press X to help other players back onto their feet after they've been knocked over' franchise on the Xbox 360!

Probably not going to rush out and buy it this time, made that mistake last time and paid way over the odds for it... going to invest in Dragons Age instead and wait until the new year and hopefully steam will reduce it.

There's a demo running at Thorpe Park at the moment. Parish, two levels (first two as far as I can make out) with four player local co-op. Played it quite a bit, not seen any axes or chainsaws but have seen frying pan, baton, sword, magnum (melee/close), and autoshotgun, silenced submachinegun, AK 47, grenade launcher, 30 round sniper rifle and some G3 lookalike with 3 round bursts. It plays a blinder, so if anyone's wanting some theme park hilarity with optional zombie slaying, crack on.
The second level shows the new 'gauntlet' style of play where you have to run and gun to a fixed location - round a wire mesh maze to turn an alarm off. Also shows off charger (ballache), jockey (funny but even bigger ballache), spitter (mmmm, thong) and walking witch (just a standard infected, oh wait...). |

I just want Episode 3...so badly. It's getting ridiculous now, I want to find out what happens to the Combine, what the Borealis is, what happens now Elyne (sp?) is dead, and just who is the mysterious "G-man?"
Get on with it Valve. |

I'm boycotting picking up fanny in a pub due to a lack of new content.

I will never again buy a Valve product for the 360 firstly MS repackage free updates as DLC and force you to pay for them on live and secondly the lack of on-going support for the 360 versions is appaling, TF2 hasn't had any new content for over a year wtf. It clear from their lack of action that Valve don't really give a shit about their console customers

I've ordered my copy from Gamesbasement for £25 (http://www.gamesbasement.co.uk/games-fir... but even if it means I don't get the PC demo, at least I can play it at the EG Expo the same day as the demo's release anyway :D
