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?

yay…

Downloading right now

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

Good to hear it’s available for the masses

Not available on the german xbox.de-Marketplace…

@Major

Of course NOT available in Germany.

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

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

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.

Yeehaw! Guess I should preorder my copy.

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.

Awesome!

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.

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

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

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

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.

Awesome! Downloading…

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

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

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~

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

@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.

That along with ‘Live Anywhere’.

I don’t think we’ll ever see that.

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.

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

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.

@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.

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

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

@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.

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).

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.

YAY

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.

Using the defib on zombies is fun.

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

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

downloading while im trying to get my 50 in forza 3

@ SecretlyCoded

You wont see a MW2 demo.

Well definitly not for quite a few months.

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

Zombies = Fun

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?

@ 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.

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.

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.

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…

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

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.

This was a blast
