    I was looking forward to playing it around Halloween time but after checking the release date they delayed it to November. To me, it doesn't make much sense to come out with a zombie shoot em up survival game to have it aimed for a Halloween release but only to miss it. I can understand Valve's attitude for releasing games only when they're done with them but I still find it disappointing that they are delaying because they want it to be the next CS.

    They said they wanted it to be as popular as CS was/is.

    I'm thinking it will.
    The concept sounds excellent, and if they can pull it off, I'll certainly adopt it.

    Just get Dead Space for Holloween and play Left 4 Dead when it comes out. A horror game is scarier when you have to play by yourself anyways.

    I think Left 4 Dead is less of a horror game and more of just an Awesome Game.
