    Hey,

    Anyone still looking to do this? Haven't seen any recent threads about it...

    Thanks,
    Eric Huang

    Really? Are people going to actually buy L4D2? Isn't it too early? L4D original is still great.

    I thought the same thing too. After playing the demo however, my opinion rapidly changed. L4D2 is much better than L4D, especially since you can get it under $40 if you do a group buy.

    You get it for $35 through the group deal. I'm willing to start a buy thread for this game if you two/three are in this for real.

    I mean, i've preloaded the demo.
    I thought it should be playable on November 3rd, which is now since it's past 12.
    I'm in EST zone so maybe not yet..

    It probably won't be midnight, guys, relax. Valve usually does releases in the middle of the afternoon or evening.

    Hopefully this wont happen as the demo is completed and people are actually playing it now. Any delays now would just be pure evil.
