Left 4 Dead

I got to wait until November 11th!

[skdr]

Demo is up on Steam!

[dux]

No it's not

[Jetsetlemming]

No it's not

It is if you preordered, or haxored Gamestop like I did

[-HP-]

I pre ordered it, downloaded the demo... but steam still don't let me play. gah, the fuck?

[dux]

You have to BUY it to get to sample it? That's not how demos work.

What. The. Diddles.

[Jenn0_Bing]

You get EARLY access to the demo if you pre-order.

[e-freak]

early demo-access....

beaten to it :S

and you've gotta dl another 100 mb patch after you unlocked the files...

[dux]

Seems pretty homosexual to me.

[Erratic]

It doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Demo's are put out to to get people to sample then buy the game, not the other way around. Now if pre-purchasing gave early access to the game (or beta) like was done with TF2, it would be understandable.

That said, I'm preloaded and ready to go as soon as the demo's out.

[Sentura]

so i have to wait a week to try out the demo because i didn't pre purchase?

[Jetsetlemming]

Ugh, lots of bad early word from people with demo access. There's no server browser whatsoever- only matchmaking, which doesn't have the slightest bit of customization besides the "play with friends" main menu option. No location/ping requirements, no listen vs. dedicated, you can't even select what difficulty you're looking to join in on. There's absolutely no reason for someone to run a dedicated server because you can't join your server at will and neither can other people.

What... the... FUCK?!?!?

Console style matchmaking?! You gotta be fucking kidding me valve...

I want my server browser back!!!

[dux]

lol I'm glad I didn't pre order and waited like a sensible person.

Doesn't mean the game is shit now.
