Left 4 Dead Demo Tomorrow for Pre-orders

Yup I got my code in an e-mail a little while ago and plan to start downloading at 9am tomorrow...which is when I leave for class ironically enough.

Well public demo is out on the 11th anyways. Just wait till then.

I wish the computer that I was using was mine, the trailer is making me hyped for it.

Absolutely epic. Especially on the harder difficulties, this game DEFINITELY delivered, despite all the massive amounts of hype that surrounded it. The only bad thing (that valve is ironing out) is that server browsing has to be properly implemented (Valve launched the demo with only matchmaking, but later today they released the traditional server browser).

I can't make some vids/pics atm, because I'm busy, but if by tomorrow you guys don't have enough material, I'll be sure to drop a few timedemos/pics.

EDIT: After Valve fixes the connection issues and people get some stable dedicated servers for this game, I definitely think this is GOTY 2008, even above Fallout 3.

I just went and recorded a quick run through of about 7 min or so. Its nuthin special, but once it finishes compiling I will upload it to youtube and link it when I get back to my apt. I have all the settings maxed in the vid with res of 1680x1050 @ 4x AA, but the youtube quality doesnt do it to much justice. Alas, it is better than nuthin. Faps lowered my FPS to around 30, but in the game without fraps I play well into the hundreds (its the source engine...so yea!).

Let me just remind you. The difference between advanced and expert is WORLDS apart. When you beat subway on expert theres a great sense of satisfaction. It was really intense.

I have beaten it twice on Advaced.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!

It is also the most I have seen my Q6600 work out of any game. About 50-60% unless there are massive hordes of zombies everywhere then it hits 70% across all 4 cores.

+10000000000 for VALVe. I have no doubt this game will be just amazing.

I haven't done any testing on the core usages yet but the game is absolutely smooth on C2D E8400 @ 4 ghz. I have all the graphics settings maxed out and at no point did I feel the slighest bit of lag.

I like to give a hand to valve for making a game that's very scalable and that even with maxed game settings it won't lag

I was shocked by the amount of zombies that you actually get (I'm playing on advanced mode). I died once or twice because the hulk looking zombie is so friggin hard to kill.

It's more or less spray and pray so if you guys like loads of bullet unloading this is the perfect game you can't miss. I like the graphics a lot. I'm playing it on 1680x 1050. I haven't done any measurements on the fps but I'm very happy with the results considering I have AA x 16, MSAA x8, all settings turned to max.

I could tell valve has spent a lot of time into the details of the game from banners on the walls to the fire effects.


I think in order to get a realistic feel for the game you should play on advanced mode or higher.

We'll see how lowly my e6750 @ stock does with the game in about an hour. I have high hopes though, I'm pretty sure my 4870 will be adequate.

This game is FUN, FUN, FUN! A must have for coop mindless zombie(oxymoron?) killing goodness! Its nice when a game company can actually deliver the goods. It is valve so their track record speaks for themselves. Some how I don't think we will be hearing valve executives months from now crying about how pirates have contributed to low sales....cough epic, ubisoft, crytek .....cough........

Like everyone has said, if you make a great MULTIPLAYER ONLINE game , they will come..........................

Only play this game on Expert level, its soo much fun and hard too! Cant wait til friday when europe gets the full release

How'd it go?

Cant imagine any probs aside from perhaps some slowdown with a full screen?
