Dash Text: The sequel to the best-selling and critically-acclaimed co-operative multiplayer smash from Valve®, Left 4 Dead™ 2 promises to become one of 2009′s top-selling games and set a new benchmark for co-operative action games. Left 4 Dead 2 takes place at roughly the same time as the original, and leads four new “Survivors” through the southeastern United States — from Savannah, Georgia to New Orleans’ French Quarter.

  • Mr Barrel Roll

    Yay, now the people who were undecided on buying this can see something to help make their decision! While the people who already made that decision already had access to the thing that would help make their decision!

    Buh?

  • cliftonJONES

    yay…

  • DarkGin87

    Downloading right now

  • GS HaXoR

    Torrented it a few days ago – good demo – the characters are funny :D

    Good to hear it’s available for the masses :)

  • DarkTear81

    Not available on the german xbox.de-Marketplace…

  • Hobiologe

    @Major

    Of course NOT available in Germany. ;)

  • wolfzero01

    is the single player any good or is it like the first one where they focused more on the co-op & multiplayer?

  • DjDATZ

    Played it at E3 and X09, and loved it each time! Can’t wait to play with my L4D Crew! :D

  • X Cel007

    WOW! 2GB? That’s insane for a demo. And I’m at work with it sitting in my queue. It would a cool, new feature to program the 360 to be “always on” (similar to the Wii) and have it wake-on-lan or something similar when the queue gets filled.

    Can’t wait to play.

  • longklaw1

    Yeehaw! Guess I should preorder my copy.

  • Thiago123

    Already pre-ordered, but not at Gamestop so didn’t get the early demo. All I can say is…YES! Loved the first, can’t wait for the second. Will be playing this demo a lot, but dang its a big file.

  • Oh baby 1994

    Awesome!

  • MACPH1ST0

    If you pre-ordered it at GameStop, you could have had access to this a week ago. It looks like more and more games are going to have week-early exclusive demo access (also usually paired with an exclusive in-game item) as a pre-order bonus in an attempt by the publishers to get more profits back from used game sales. I noticed they did this with Brütal Legend too.

  • TSA jpicard

    Game is overly Censored in Australia wont be buying due to retarded no R18+ rating in this country!

  • Halfazedninja

    DAMN THIS FOR COMING OUT THE SAME DAY AS DRAGON AGE! lol

    Just kidding. I can’t wait to play this!

  • SecretlyCoded

    Yay, Now lets hope for a MW2 demo.

    @TSA jpicard
    When it releases, import it. The first L4D is region free so most likely this one will be too.

  • Grind Axis

    Awesome! Downloading… :D

  • Mr Razak

    Finally it’s here . . . already added to download when I get home from work.

  • JoJoStarFire

    Try it on expert if you find, it easy on Normal, it is more brutal than part 1

  • EveofLight

    Been playing this demo for a week or so, since I pre-ordered. Loving the new characters and the stuff they say. Expert Mode is a pain T_T. I hate that little Jockey punk he is so short he hits you and you are down before you notice; the Spitter likes to spit at people when they are downed. The Charger is sometimes unnoticed until he slams you into a wall and starts pummeling you. I can imagine the other special infected in there and the other levels ~dies~

  • Epic Lou

    I’m downloading it right now. I can’t wait to see how it looks.

  • sho220

    @X Cel007
    when microsoft first announced the ability to add items to a queue via the web, they also mentioned that they envisioned the xbox turning itself on, downloading the content, then powering off. maybe they ran into complications trying to do it.

    for reference, pretty sure it was discussed at microsoft’s E3 briefing 2 – 3 years ago.

  • GS HaXoR

    @ sho220
    /
    That along with ‘Live Anywhere’.

    I don’t think we’ll ever see that.

  • Epic Lou

    I have to say that the smokers in Left 4 Dead 2 or far more annoying than the ones in the first one. I can’t wait for this game and to get all the achievements in it like I did with the first one.

  • Wingman1977

    Downloading as I type this. BTW X Cel007, it’s 1.69GB. Not 2GB.

  • BROKENRADIO541

    I’m ready for this. Preordered on Amazon and didn’t get the early demo. This will be my last game purchase of 2009 along with CODMW2.

  • VIGOR MORTIVORE

    @sho220, how about safety? would you like to have your house burned down because of some device malfunctioning, I don’t think MS would like to be responsible for that.

  • deffjams09

    I’m on the fence about getting this, downloading the demo now.

  • Velete

    Been playing the demo since last week

    Dont understand why they tried to make the demo ‘pre-order’ exclusive when everyone just went and used the download links/codes for the ‘exclusive’ demo, guess thats why its now openly availble to everyone

    Fun game but not much of a sequel, more like a small expansion pack/mod

  • X Cel007

    @sho220, I’m sure it could be a hardware/firmware incompatibility issue with the “always on” functionality. I bet it’ll be a sure thing in the next gen hardware, unless it’s possible in a later dash update. It’s a great feature and they can only improve the concept.

    @Wingman1977, 1.69GB isn’t too bad. That just means my wait won’t be as long until I play.

  • deffjams09

    As with the original Left 4 Dead, this demo is fantastic. I’m not so sure the game is worth $60 to those who already own the first one. I will hold of buying until the price drops to 20-30 bucks (probably 8-12 months time).

  • DNAgent

    Meh. I hated it. It just felt like a mediocre rehash of the first game (which is how MW2 will also turn out). I’d rather keep playing L4D than L4D2.

  • padilla21 Live

    YAY

  • Funny Muffin

    Anyone know how long the demo will be on the marketplace? I just sent in my xbox to microsoft because of the “E74″ error and I don’t know when it will be back.

  • SumHydroponic

    Using the defib on zombies is fun.

  • Ichiban Noob

    Funny Muffin, I think it’s only up for a week.

  • JumboShrimp1837

    Everytime I try and join a game, it’s just sit and wait.

  • Tyrant Dunn

    downloading while im trying to get my 50 in forza 3

  • Steve CTID

    @ SecretlyCoded

    You wont see a MW2 demo.

    Well definitly not for quite a few months.

  • xTye

    GS HaXoR…that isn’t a good thing to say here because the is cause for suspicion that you torrent your retail games too…

  • mchiefvs360

    Zombies = Fun

  • Captain Bluey

    It wont let me download the demo, even though it says it is available in all Xbox live regions.

    Perhaps this has something to do with the aussie gimped version?

  • GS HaXoR

    @ xTye
    -
    Torrenting a demo & torrenting a 360 game are totally different things.
    -
    Downloading a demo is harmless & doesn’t require a modded console.
    Downloading a game requires a modded console that will probably get you banned from XBOX Live.

  • Rune 70

    It’s one of the rare demos that will be deleted when the game comes out near the 17th. Get the trial now if you haven’t yet. For those having lag in game, try to host local matches from the lobby game options. Valve may be doing server load testing or maintenance so their dedis are inconsistent right now.

  • ElektroDragon

    I must be the only gamer on the planet who doesn’t like Left 4 Dead. Tried this demo as well as the first game’s demo. I still left thinking it was boring, poorly animated, not fun to play, and lacking in the graphics department. Then again, I don’t understand the co-op craze either. Can’t wait for my copy of Dragon Age to arrive.

  • grow room

    At the end of the first chapter in The Parish, if you go to the alley outside of the saferoom, jump on the trash cans, jump on the glass cover to the electric meter, and then jump onto the roof you can sit around and smash on zombies. If you jump to the saferoom roof and hang it, a team mate can revive you allowing you more access to the map that you wouldn’t generally have otherwise.

    Pretty cool stuff…

  • Sticky Owens

    Damn, these graphics are horrible, i suggest people with the option, try the PC demo instead.

    You can even plug in a 360 controller if that is your thing

  • HenkvdWeerdt

    Just played one single level of the game. Its looks and plays like the first one, but its got slightly better, but i can’t tell you why.

    Simply a must buy for me.

  • Ganon255

    This was a blast
