Left 4 Dead 2 Demo Now Available to All 360 and PC Users

Let the carnage begin!

Eager to test out the demo for Left 4 Dead 2, but didn't pre-order, or lucky enough to get a preorder code? Wait no longer, my undead slaying friend! The Xbox 360 demo for Left 4 Dead 2 is now available in all regions. The demo takes the four new survivors through New Orleans, and by all accounts shows off all the new bells and whistles quite nicely. Add the demo download to your queue here, and reread Nick's impressions of the PC demo to keep you occupied until you can dash home and play. Is it quitting time yet?

Expect the demo on Steam later today for everyone else as well.

Thanks for the queue link, Marc...very handy. By the way, the demo is a whopper! 2 gigs!

Cool, I'm gonna download it tonight after work. Still have 8,8 GB free on my 120 GB harddrive.

It would be nice, but Steam says Nov 4. Wednesday @ 800am.
Or this is just for the European region?

Wow, great to finally try this out and see how much is recreated from L4D

If by "all 360 users" you mean "360 users with a Gold account," then yes.

It's available to Silver members, too. It's an easy process. Ready?

1. Log into Live.
2. Upgrade to Gold.
3. Download the L4D2 demo.

Wow!

Doesn't the Silver download come out in, like, a week? I mean, last I heard they were doing a tier thing, like pre-orders, then gold, then silver, then finally the game is released.

I've got Gold, so this is really just a side question if nothing else. Heh. I won't be downloading the demo, though.

Very true, my advice is to trade in on one of those 48 hour gold trial cards.

This demo is over 1.7 GB, wow! I don't have enough room to download, and I've tried deleting unwanted items. Oh well.

Played it, loved it. Never did find the exit after the crescendo event in the second part, though. We'll try it again I am sure. I decree that all games should now include a frying pan as a weapon.

Felt and looked alot different to me.

You can now defib your friends when they die (not sure if the closets still work) the pipe bomb and tov work better, the tank no longer just pounds on one person who will down them and move to the next, the weapon placement is always different and you will not find all the tier 2 items together they are usually scattered around.

I am really eager to play the full game here in a few weeks .

Closets still work once you've used your defib I believe.

SBPyro at 05:14 AM on 11.4.2009

Closets still work if you can't get to someone in time.
Only thing I didn't like was that it lagged pretty bad several times. The melee weapons were fun.
