Preorders of the Steam version can now start downloading the demo, which will be unlocked very soon. Cannot wait! Everyone with Left 4 Dead share your Steam ID (or your Xbox Live name if you are being silly and buying a Valve game for a console).
My Steam ID is mipac.

Awesome, will get it then. And how big is it? Not that it matters, with unmetered Steam. Have you played it yet, what does it include?

The demo gets unlocked at 2AM Sydney time. I think it's the first 2 sections of the 1st campaign. Download is supposed to be about 800 megs, I'm at 76% downloading at 1200kbps.

I love this game, probably going to be playing the demo whenever I get a chance over the next 2 weeks. Passa I'll add you to Steam.
Edit: Oh and incase anyony jumps to conclusions and says this is a console port to PC because of no server browser, there is a fully functional one, you just have to type "openserverbrowser" in the console.

^ Theres a load of Steam ID's there.
And there's the PALGN group too.
I've not pre-ordered it yet, i'll wait until the 11th for my demo, and then buy it then. 11th is the last day of exams.

Demo is awesome! though there's some problems, thankfully we have that openserverbrowser I can play good servers now.
Anyway -
It is awesome, though you can fly through the demo in 20 mins or less on Easy, Normal or Advanced, but Expert is fricking awesome hard, Tanks are so fricking hard to kill on it, looking forward to full game VERY much, great fun as long as you play co-op.
Been playing since 6:20 as morning, ain't stopped. (current time 11:07)

Ok, was gonna buy this 2 nights ago, but thought I may as well wait, to make sure I like it, even though I know I will. What timezone does Steam use? It says it will be unlocked on the 11th, what time on the 11th, and in what timezone? I hope I can get it downloading before I go to bed.

This game is awesome! Everyone should download the demo, it is so much fun. But is there a command to see your fps? I wanna know how many I will get if I turn everything up to max.

That's small compared to the 3.2gb the PC demo is. At least if I buy it, that's 3.2gb I don't have to download.

Seeing it's a source game, wouldn't the usual Developer Console command be there?

But what is the command? Would it be the same as Half Life 2? Cause I can never find that command either.

cl_showfps 1

Played it on 360 this morning (the demo) and it's absolutely incredible. Only played single-player but loved it - can't wait to buy the full game and get some 4 player co-op happening. Some of the firefights are just epic.

Lol, I just crashed the game, in an online 3 player match! I had it so that when I pressed "o" it spawned around 15 zombies, I pressed it heaps and hundreds of zombies didn't spawn, the game froze then crashed. Good times.

How does the mulitiplayer work? I know there is co-op single player campaign, but is there any other co-op/competitive multiplayer modes?
very intrigued by this but I'm not really on-edge about it.

To my understanding mulitplayer is up to 5ppl? 4 on the suvivers side and one person can be on the zombies side commanding them/spawning them and controlling how that side works trying to kill the suvivers

No, the AI controls them, they are called the AI Director. So it is 4 player co-op, and 8 player versus, where 4 people get to be zombie bosses.

If you're pre-ordered it on Steam you can pre-load the full game now. I've been really happy with this game since first playing it on the 6th, I can't wait til the 18th.
