Let's continue discussing what is gonna be the best co-op game of 2009!

When I got a chance to play it last month at PAX, I loved it. It was great being completely surprised again, which is the best part about the game.

Still can't wait for this game. I didn't have the patience to wait 3+ hours to play it at pax, but I did get a free shirt(they were throwing them into the crowd). It looks epic

This is going to be a purchase for me..i love the 1st and cannot wait for this, hoping we could start a reg group to play regularly.

I'm probably going to buy this day one, so if all you guys aren't playing I will have to shoot someone.

Yah I will absolutely buy this when it launches, I cant wait! The new special zombies in Versus mode will be exciting to try.

weren't you the one on the old forums saying L4D was a terrible premise for a game? For shame.

This should be DLC. I'm boycotting this. I blame you console gamers for this being a full size game.

Oh no worries Blueberry, I'm going to midnight launch and will be playing it by 12:30 EST I'm sure.

I can't WAIT for this game.  You have no idea.

As much as I can't wait for this, it might have to wait until Christmas.

Sorry, but i think this fits more into the PC Games topic. It seems to me that Left 4 Dead is a lot more popular (and more fun) on PC, considering you can Mod it, but that's just my PC gamer self. I also might note that i don't have a 360, so i guess I'm not the guy to talk to about this ;)

I'm not getting it on the PC, why would I want to talk about it in the PC section :P

I'm curious to hear why some people think it should be DLC, anyone care to comment?

I said it didn't have enough content to keep me playing, I didn't think it was bad I just got bored of 4 levels. If I did say it sucked it was to annoy Pat.

So there have been some exclusives announced for pre-ordering the game either through Steam or through participating retailers.

The big exclusive is that you will get 10% off your purchase and access to an early demo. The demo sadly does not have a date for when it will be available.

The final exclusive is an American Baseball Bat. Probably to compete with the cricket bat shown below.

Overall, the 10% off is truely a treat and a great reason to pre-order the game.

That promotion was the same with the First L4D, and the demo for that game was released (to pre-order customers) about 2 weeks before the full release.

So I think we can expect to get it within the same time frame, if not a little earlier, considering they know the game will be received well.
