Yeah, not mentioned anywhere aside from in the two giant L4D threads.

My 10Mb bandwidth couldn't cope with the giant threads so I thought a simple heads-up maybe appreciated by other people ........

Yes, I'm sure a 10mbit connection would struggle to read 6 page and/or 15 page threads of text.

Just played the demo and thought it was great. Haven't played a zombie game since Res Evil 2 but really liked the teamplay and it should be great to play with mates. Its $44.99 on Steam download but with the pound sinking its getting dearer every minute!

Just done a very quick search and found it £19.97 online. So many games so little time, just finished Warhead and ordered Call Of Duty: WAW

The 18th (though probably US time).

i'm hoping the 18th, but as it releases at retail on the 21st for us, i think we might get it on the 21st...

ah well. time will tell.

Preloaded, but if we have to wait until the 21st I will not be a happy bunny.

18th is what I hear.

It's the 18th if you've pre-ordered it from steam, 21st from retailers. Just got my copy pre-ordered for £19.97, think I can wait a few extra days to save £15.

Thanks, pre-loading it now
