Left 4 Dead demo out to public!
jkh13 | 12:15 PM on 11.11.2008 18 comments


For all those who haven't pre-ordered off Steam (i.e. those in places like the UK where the steam version cost a shitload more than a retail copy due to shit exchange rate.)



Servers are getting pummeled at steam at the moment though.

I am glad I got it last week..cause I am a bastard like that.
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, BSD is a bastard on so many levels.

Even though my computer sucks ass and can barely run TF 2 on the lowest settings, I think I'll download it to see how it runs.
covah's Destructoid Blog
Im gonna go out on a limb and say I didn't like it...
TheDreadHawk's Destructoid Blog
I really really hate the ffact thaty I can't download it. Both the 360 and my Steam client is fucking up the download really bad.

@ DreadHawk

Mine was too. I went to the main page of the game and then went back to the demo and it worked.

The steam version took around 10 minutes before it started downloading at all but when it started the speed was alright, about half of my usual speed on steam (still 5mb/s though :p)
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
Weird. It downloaded fine for me. It didn't download at first, but I paused then unpaused the download and it started just fine.

@JKH and NotAZombie

Thanks guy, I got it to work finally. Downloading now.
Walrus's Destructoid Blog
I love how I download at 130 KB/s or below.

Fucking Steam, I'm starting to get fed up of it. I was going to buy L4D through there, then noticed that it was £13 more expensive than getting a physical copy from Amazon.

Wanted to play the demo today and they were late making it available. I love how the 360 demo was available first and downloaded much faster (gettin 40kb/s from Steam atm). Great PC support there guys.

Apparently the multiplayer options, among other things, are a right dog's dinner compared to the average PC game too, so much for that 'PC first' philosophy.

Since I restarted Steam I don't actually have a download speed, but previously it was 20kb/s most, on a bloody good internet connection.

I thought Steam was supposed to be awesome?
Velt's Destructoid Blog
Guys, everyone and their sisters are downloading the left4dead demo right now, When I downloaded the demo last week since i preorder it from steam it was over a 100kb/s average.

I agree that the options for mp on the pc had been "reduced" to say the least.
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
lol what. I don't know about everyone else but when I was downloading it earlier, I was getting the usual 500 kb/s speed.
Timmeh's Destructoid Blog
Oh look, back for 5 minutes and Heretic is trolling the Cblogs already.

What a surprise.
CALkulon's Destructoid Blog
Well over 500kb/s now, happy bunny I am.
NotAZombie's Destructoid Blog
@ Heretic

Why did you get banned again?
Qalamari's Destructoid Blog
Thanks for the tip! Downloading now.
