September 23, 2009 - During EA's press conference in Tokyo earlier today, Valve designer Kim Swift revealed the release date for the expected playable multiplayer demo of Left 4 Dead 2. (via Kotaku)

Get to your nearest calendar and circle October 27th, because that's when it's supposedly coming. No other details, such as what platforms or whether it's a pre-order incentive or not, were discussed.

We poked Valve to see if they'll comment further. We'll keep you posted.

Does anyone plan on picking this up? Im still upset that they didnt support the first one as much as they promised, I still feel L4D2 could have been DLC.

I have a feeling most of the die-hard boycotters will play and people who don't buy games on release will. There are still people on halo 2 in fact.

Anyone had a chance to play this Demo yet?
I have been playing it with a buddy this morning and it's freakin FUN! We went through the 2 part campaign about 3 times, I kept wanting to play it, I enjoy the new gun choices, and melee weapons.

The new infected make me laugh, they are pretty bad ass.

I don't know if this is a spoiler or not, so maybe if you want skip over the next thing I have to say but:

You guys know how the witch sits in one spot rocking back and forth and crying? Sometimes she would be spawned in the most dumbest places, like right infront of where you need to go and there was NO WAY of avoiding her?
Well in the Demo the witch WALKS AROUND! This is a good thing because that prevents her from completely blocking your way all the time, but bad in the sense that you can come up by her, or around her and not really know and she can take you down quite easily.

So who else is having fun with the demo, what do you like about it?

MINIMAL SPOILER BUT SPOILER NONE THE LESS

This is for Halopwns, so if the rest of you want to keep it a surprise for what type of guns/melee weapons are available for you, than skip this whole thing.


Melee weapons that so far I have seen, the Melee weapons take place of your unlimited pistol. They are:
Frying pan
Machete knife (which is badass)
Police Baton
Guitar
There are more, I just didn't see them in the demo.

The Guns I have encountered so far are the regular hand gun, keep in mind you will see some of the old guns returning but their design is better, the hand gun looks pretty cool.
There is also a magnum pistol available, it's only a single hand wield however, but just like the normal pistol it is unlimited ammo. It however has only an 8 clip round instead of the 15/30 clip round that you get from single/dual wield pistol, so you will be reloading your clip faster, than again Magnum is more powerful.
There was some type of combat shotgun.
I don't know the name of the next gun, but it was my favourite to use, it had a rather large Barrel, and was a 50 clip, kind of like the Oozie in the first game, so a type of machine gun, but better than the Oozie.
There was also about 2 different pump shot guns, I believe one had a 3 bullet spray.
Again couldn't tell you the names, I'll have to go back through the demo, it only tells you the names of the guns when you first highlight them.

In all there was about 6-7 gun types you could choose from, some of those are ones from the previous game.

There are also Adrenaline shots that temporarily give you a bit of health (less than the pills) but makes you move much faster, so better to take to get past hordes.
Also a Bile container, much like a Molotov or pipebomb you throw it, it's freakin awesome, my buddy and I had no idea what it did, so I threw it onto a Crusher and the horde of zombies ended up attacking it, so much like when a boomer throws up on you and YOU get attacked, this has the same effect, so just think if you throw this jar on a tank while you are in the last part of the campaign where it's non stop zombies, they can greatly help you take it's health down.

There is another new item that takes the place of your med pack, I think it was called a surge..or something? If your one of your team mate dies, instead of trying to find them in a closet or something down the line, you can revive them with this item on the spot.

As for the campaign lay out, this takes place in the daylight, which is much easier to navigate and is a nice change, I can't really explain it so here is a gameplay video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxRRZvucBgE
Skip through most of it or just watch the beginning if you don't want too much of a spoiler!

there are 3 new special infected, and a new varation of the witch during daylight where she walks around instead of sticking to one spot crying.

Hope this helps you out!

As far as I know, currently no, and I don't believe they have any intent on making it 4 player split screen. Just like the original it will most likely just be 2 player splitscreen, most games only go this far.
