Left 4 Dead 2 demo plans detailed photo

Valve has announced their full plans for the Left 4 Dead 2 demo today. The demo will be set in “The Parish” campaign and up to four players can play it either online or through local play. You can expect the new boss infected zombies plus all of the new melee weapons in the demo.

The demo will first be available on October 27 to those that pre-order the game from retailers or Steam. On November 3, the demo will be out for all on the PC and for those that have Xbox Live Gold. Non-Gold subscribers will get the demo on November 10.

Left 4 Dead 2 will be out on November 17 and I’ll be having zombie nightmares all over again on November 18. Hooray!

Is it just me or does the guy to the far right look like a scout from TF2. At least in this picture anyway.

No bad pun for the title? How about "Predator and Pray"

WOO!

Can't wait, although I would've preferred Dark Carnival to The Parish.

The subtitle for this one is something like 'This time, it all goes south.' Or something.

I've always found the idea of early access to a demo when you preorder a game very odd. Those people have already decided they want it -- they don't need to try before they buy.

I think people who preorder should get no access to demos. Fuck them and their smugness!

brain: I realize your brain's gone, so I'll forgive you for being a retard.
But you're not paying for the demo.

If you don't want to pay, wait til it's out at a later date.

Get off the cross, somebody else needs the wood.

Why is it that people are complaining about this again? The demo's free. Pre-orders get to try it a little earlier.

People who preorder get a little "VIP" treatment because they purchase the game early. Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

The guy on the far left looks like he belongs in Miami Vice.

"Non-Gold subscribers will get the demo on November 10."

So they can do what? Play with themselves?

It's getting close and no information on the chainsaw. I'm fearing it may not be in the final version.

What are you talking about? I have seen it in action in quite a few videos. It has no fatigue and contains a gas bar.

@Wheatspin:

I kinda see it, but the big black guy looks like Pastor T.D. Jakes to me.

"The demo will be set in “The Parish” campaign and up to four players can play it either online or through local play."

And that's when I lost interest, confirms no versus, and therefore no reason for me to play it lol.
