***Official Left 4 Dead 2 Thread***

Although FT and I are setting up servers if we can, I'm sure that like the first game, local servers will be perfectly capable of handling four player coop.

Yeah we did some 4 player Survival when it came out on my connection, and it was fine

If you are wondering about the time of release still, then if you view the Official Left 4 Dead 2 steam group it says the following:

Left 4 Dead 2 Early Demo Access
October 27 @ 08:00pm

SO I will have like 6 hours of l4d2 demo

waiting sucks royally

I've been playing through the 4 L4D campaigns in single player properly for the first time since release, quite nice to just wander around as I like

Also decided to get the 'no healing' thingy but thanks to a bug that meant the AI wern't shooting at common infected (thankfully they still shot at SI) for most of a level meant my health got drained and had to spam painpills for the rest of the campaign, used 16 by the end of it

Noooooo! Dont say that you'll give them ideas

Is the demo mulitplayer then? (co-op over the net?)

If so, my already itchy pre order finger will get itchier.

Thanks,

I never played the original, but it seems like its co-op over the net or something as a game mode? That is what I was trying to get at with this demo release, would it just be me and bots... or could I join a co-op game.

Sounds like you can though

UK time. Steam shows up the time in whatever location you are in.

If 2000 is about correct then I *might* be about for a game tonight - otherwise will be about from 1500 tomoz afternoon for games

 

[Will Lucky]

Apparently the 360 already has the demo which is a shame.

You can do both

I wouldn't bother with bots though, it doesn't make much sense as a single player game, but with friends it really is a bit spesh.

I guess we ought to form an orderly queue behind Link to join in some fun tonight at 8:30pm. You up for that Link?

 

[reflux]

Right I am so in the queue of win pls.

 

[jcb33]

I can't stop grinning about this demo, I am so excited, especialy after watching the new trailer last night!

YAY!
Jcb33.

 

[FrenchTart]

Just a note to everyone - the linux server files are unlikely to be out today (from what I've read) so the dedis likely won't be up until tomorrow/whenever the server files are out.

 

[Pookie Bear]

Oh goody goody - I am so looking forward to this

 

[SH4RKY]

Awesome, cant wait to get home tonight. will be online from 10ish
