left 4 dead demo

well its jsut the demo so hopefully they do that for the full game.

anyone else getting pretty bad lag? and the dedicated servers seem to be pretty messed up right now....

 

This demo is awesome you just have to find the right server to play in. Also, any that has voice and wants to join me hit me up on steam!

No one knows why I can't download it? I click Install Demo yet nothing happens.

 

just bought it. having problems finding a dedicate server?

if anyone finds a solution to this problem PM ME! I'm dying to play a full game :]
steam username is

[email protected]

 

Anyone try this on a 8400GS?

 

If anyone wants to play, I can host servers ingame, I've run mulitple full games already, and had alot of fun!

Add me on steam unknown555525
or lookup [email protected] on steam if the above doesnt work, and yes I have a mic.

 

Sigh, did anyone else pre-order from retail?

 

shoulda bought from steam :/ that way you don't need to hassle with cd's

 

There is no CD hassle, as it's not even out yet. Nothing happens when I click "Install Now". In the email they send it says to double click "Download" but all I see is an "Install Now" image.

 

done...name's "Rofl_Waffle". lets kill some zombies!

 

You have to use the activate product feature in steam.

 

Thank you so much. Finally someone to help me out. I'm sure others are wondering too because the email they send you is pretty misleading. +reps good sir.

 

is the demo out yet? i dont want to have to pre-order it first

 

Only for pre-orders. Public demo gets released on the 11th.

 

How much HDD space does the demo require? Does it pre-load the full game and run the demo from those files or is it a separate item?

 

I believe it is separate. It takes 7.5gigs approximately.

 

wow for a demo? thats quite a lot

 

The steam version of the demo is huge because it downloads most of the files needed for the full game to facilitate a smooth release when everyone floods the steam servers with traffic on release date. So users with the demo can get the full game right away, and everyone else can get faster download speeds when downloading the full game.

 

erm, someone post some screenies please?

 

i want to play... guess ill just wait for the demo in a few days

 

Got my free demo "hack" code today. See you in the game!!!

 

that would make no sense from a distribution standpoint

its most likely all the gamefiles required by the full game but only the demo gets unlocked, later the full game gets unlocked with no additional downloading

 

wat is that??

 

you can download the Left 4 Dead Demo elsewhere.

its been floating around for a few days now.... real, not fake.

about 1.1 gigs.

I tried it, beat single player 4 times already.

Online works as well.

 

wow.im definitely gonna look for this !!

 

bah, i guess you didn't need to pre-order the game to get the early demo access.. but gamestop and such have stopped giving out the codes completely now ;\ too bad, i bet a lot of people got the codes w/o having to prepurchase

 

Look for "L4D Demo" or "L4D-Demo"

 

look where? lol... i want to play!!

 

same here i looked but i can't find it.

 

geez.

PM me and I'll show you how to search Google for it.

its just a demo, I do not know why there is so much hype and secrecy for it.

Just give it to the people already.

 

Fun game. Wish it had a mode with more players though. Something where you set up defenses with like 20ppl and then fight wave after wave of zombies.

 

Thats called Invasion in Unreal Tournament.

 

Some will most likely make it when the full game comes out. I wish zombie master was further developed because that mod is what you want.

 

Yeah I did.


Runs quite nicely on the resolution but no crazy AA or whatever.


Eh I'm just glad it runs decently.

 

Zombie Panic Source, or just about any Zombie Mod for CSS

all are more fun than L4D

so OKAY this is my opinion of playing the demo single player for about 30 minutes

terrible graphics, retarded AI, no ironsights, infinite pistol ammo, NO suspense, unrealistic zombie placement (why are there 100 zombies in 1 apartment?), wave after wave of boring predictable enemies, waves of enemies that inexplicably spawn behind you in huge waves, the same 4 boring 'special' zombies being killed over and over (SINCE WHEN IS ENDLESS RESPAWNING CONSIDERED A HOT DESIGN MOVE?) , no damage modeling on anything (computers, corpses, walls, doors, NOTHING, i feel like im playing a game from 1999) NO WAY TO MAKE BARRICADES?! ***?! WHY CANT I MOVE THAT BOOKCASE TO BLOCK THAT DOOR, OR THAT REFRIGERATOR?! the saddest thing is that the engine HAS this capability to allow you to make barricades but doesnt implement it...im done here this game is garbage, and how does valve get away with using this old engine year after year, its NOT pretty and its way too outdated to make new games with, especially when said games fail at gameplay; and why did valve take out ALL physics out of the engine ?!?!?! everything except for body physics is gone, objects that could be picked up destroyed and moved in HL2 are now solid bricks that cant be moved or destroyed...see that pile of garbage bags blocking that door? yea...you cant move or destroy them they're made out of solid titanium apparently....this is just amazing to me...completely irrational design decisions...oh and why do useable objects light up with that 'helpful' glow that can't be turned off?! i understand putting it in for consoles but at least give me the option to turn it off...the is the same crap that farcry2 pulled; you also apparently have inherited Xray vision since you can see your teammate's outlines through floors and walls...also havent found a way to turn this off...totally ruins any aspect of realism....this game would be good by arcade standards of 1999

i cannot imagine how anyone who has played zombie mods for CSS will be excited about this game, it feels like a cheap CS mod with zombies and survivors instead of Ts and CTs, actually its worse in CS you could stack things to prevent the CTs from rushing office

oh and the game stutters and freezes every 20 seconds for about 5 seconds with the sound skipping....terrible; i have all newest drivers btw and all other source games run flawless

this game actually manages to be a bigger disappointment than farcry2; its only salvaging feature is that its multiplayer so you can have some fun with other people, just not nearly as much as some of the FREE zombie mods out there

 

Sad but true.

 

i have expected it to have barricades.. it will be lame if its just about endless shooting -.-

 

Barricades have no place in this game it's about escaping, not hiding behind a bookcase and shooting stuff till you quit from bordom

 

now i can see now why you had to pre-order to be able to play the demo

 

L4D Completes me

 

this sounds bad, maybe the CSS zombie mod is better afterall. atleast there u can make barricades and the Zombie maps r awesome

 

lets not forget that the game itself can take mods

 

ive been playing Zombie Panic for the last 2 hours...no competition...this game surpasses L4D on so many levels...its so...much...fun..

 

Im going to reserve judgement until I try it.

Nothing beats CSS zombie mod escape mode though. nothing.

 

rooftop escape..its madness...trying to elbow 2 dozen other people out of the way as you try to escape the zombie hordes ....its really intense

the best part is when some guys decide to turn around and sacrifice themselves to hold back the zombies with pump shotguns...good times

escape is indeed great

 

*sigh* those were good times

 

But with all these complaints do you think they are ging to push back the release date even further?

 

*crosses fingers*

 

I'm sure a CS style zombie mod will be available for L4D.

 

Wow I feel alone, am I the only one who liked it? The skipping you spoke of......never had it on either my laptop or desktop. Oh well, and yes i've played the other mod's. Just couldn't really get into them.

Too each his own
