Valve dates and details L4D2 demo
Co-op and has all-new infected, tools.
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.

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.

Incidentally doesn't it seem silly to have a silver restriction on this one? I know it has offline split-screen, but the majority of people will want to play this over LIVE. Its catch-22. Or is it a paradox? I can never remember.

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

The GAME pre-order offer is for 360 and PC, and you should get the code by the 27th of October (even for 360).

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...).

If we don't hear anything before Christmas this year it'll be beyond a fucking joke.

I've been wondering what the frak happened to Half Life Episode 3 too. It's already beyond a joke in my book. It's like valve are doing everything in their power to get people to forget they ever promised to put out an episode every 6 months.
