 It's worth a mention given the increased profile of the dedicated server issue as a result of Modern Warfare 2 opting out of this tried-and-tested system of providing multiplayer services for gamers. If you're interested in Left 4 Dead 2, you now know that there's going to be servers available, ready and waiting for you to connect to the minute you get that bad boy working. (Sure, it's just the demo, but given Valve's history we expect this to extend to the full game as well.)

I am just increasingly annoyed by the 'death of the demo' - like we should be grateful for receiving one at all, to the point where we should be prepared to pay early to get it?!

7am tomorrow for brisbane.
apparently the low violence files are vpk files which means they are addon files, which means they can be replaced.

Oh, and agreed on the demo thing. Though demos were often used to sell crap games where they would show the one and only good part of the game to make you think the rest would be as good :-/ ... miss em though :(

Or are you a FPS consloler
Also, yet another steam update to L4D2 Demo, took my pre-load all the way back to 35% =\
Posted 06:54pm 28/10/09
Posted 06:57pm 28/10/09
Its gone back to pre-loading yes, but decrypting the pre-load?
Everyone is still bitching on steam forums that it has pre-loaded again but still isnt released...
I dont think the current downloading its doing in after that 10 minutes will leave you with anything playable?
Unless you have some hax? :)

Does 2 days of playing a competitive FPS on console really sound that good to you? Sounds like hell to me :(
The delay is annoying though, was looking forward to some L4D2 tonight, but I guess it gives me an excuse to maybe finish one of the other eleventy billion games I've bought recently :P

Heading off to work soon so I could really care less if it gets delayed by another 12 hours or so.
Actually, hopefully it does, so it can coincide with my return home =]
Valve are certainly playing it though!

yer i read that the low violence files are vpk files which are the addon files. this means they can be edited etc.

As for the launched demo, Australian players (censored version) are reporting some bugs. For example, bodies are dissapearing before they even hit the floor.
