Left 4 Dead demo zombifies XBLM

For those of you lucky enough to have the NXE, we should note that the demo is not currently showing up in the New Arrivals section of Game Demos on XBLM. We had to browse the All Games section for Left 4 Dead (it's under L!) in order to find it. Also, strangely, it can be found in the Game Demos section under the letter L, but only if you sort the list by popularity. Our best guess is that a cyber zombie has been chewing on the brains of Xbox Live. It's the only thing that makes sense, really.

I'm so pumped!
I wish my XBL downloads didn't go so slow. I haven't been this excited about a demo since the Bioshock demo.
DJcube @ Nov 11th 2008 12:10PM
I've played through it at least 30 times since I got it a few days ago. It's still awesome as it's different every time.
Chester @ Nov 11th 2008 12:11PM
I am looking forward to this game more then any other this year!
topblood @ Nov 11th 2008 12:12PM

craig64 @ Nov 11th 2008 12:29PM
Sweet. Now I get to see why everyone is so hyped for this game...
x silence x @ Nov 11th 2008 12:34PM
Yay for Holidays!

So I haven't been paying much attention to this game. I know I want it, because I love co-op. I do have a question. If you are playing alone are the other three players A.I.?
Richard Mitchell @ Nov 11th 2008 12:40PM
Any slot you can't fill with a human player will be taken by an AI bot.
ZEBRA NINER @ Nov 11th 2008 12:42PM
Thanks, Richard. :)

Also good to note is that the AI is not worthless in this game you need them and they will protect you.
BananaBoat @ Nov 12th 2008 4:49AM
The only problem is that the AI never takes any initiative (in my experience). You'll always be the first through the door (and thus the first to get eaten).
The game needs a rainbow 6 style command system (if there is one and I missed it, I fail) if only for people that can't play online.
I have the strangest feeling that since the game isn't Halo or COD4, and it's not Madden, that I won't be able to find three friends willing to play.
I'll see you soon on XBL, Anonymous!
Bonitis @ Nov 11th 2008 12:37PM
can you play 4 player co-op with this demo?
DJcube @ Nov 11th 2008 12:38PM
The demo has 4-player online co-op. Up to two people on the same console.
ObiBen @ Nov 11th 2008 12:42PM
I've been waiting to play this with some of my friends. Too bad my buddies 360 just died. Who am I kidding, I don't have any friends.
Bobluling @ Nov 11th 2008 12:48PM
Downloading right now! I checked the marketplace like 5 minutes ago and it was not there but when I read this and went to go check it was :)
mrpeatie @ Nov 11th 2008 12:57PM
This game is like crack. Very addictive immensely entertaining as every play through is unique. For such a short demo, I'm amazed at the replayability of this game. Valve does great work.
Have fun, just don’t piss off the witch.
Colinohyeah17 @ Nov 11th 2008 8:58PM
Listen to the man.... I pissed off the witch, and got mauled to death. Everyone hates me...
Pos @ Nov 11th 2008 12:58PM
Yes so get online THE BANNHAMER is working hard today already over 500 banned today hurry hurry sign and your 360 will be left4dead!
Mazrael @ Nov 11th 2008 12:59PM
wasn't there earlier before 5:30.. but there by 6:00... was in it's proper place too (UK marketplace)

JCFG @ Nov 11th 2008 1:12PM
Hmm, I shall finally test who has better zombie killa-a-thon. First I must finish my World at War single player and then I'll will share my veredict with you fine people.
Mazrael @ Nov 11th 2008 1:17PM
not even 20 minutes for a 1.2GB demo :D and I get laggy Halo 3
Loban @ Nov 11th 2008 2:34PM
Is this a Gold members only download?
ultima_omega @ Nov 11th 2008 2:54PM
I like this game. Its not as mature as i thought it would be, its a lot like an arcade shooter but that is no bad thing. Graphics aren't great but the gameplay certainly is. It feels very old school.
;( @ Nov 11th 2008 3:46PM
Goddamnit, Gold ended just last weekend. :(
Well got to pick up live when I go to pick up Mirror's Edge
Paulypies @ Nov 11th 2008 7:13PM
I love the game description in the dashboard "This game rocks! Buy it!" someone at Valve has a good sense of humour.
dylan @ Nov 11th 2008 7:26PM
It's funny because it's true!
Lake @ Nov 11th 2008 10:56PM
Have you ever noticed that fanboys always have to leave a comment saying they are "about to play it blah blah blah", or they are downloading now. Could you boys just play first, and then flame out after.
Clinton @ Nov 12th 2008 9:41AM
Was looking forward to this game. The demo actually disappointed me. Graphics are very weak, A.I. is sub par, the game seems very generic, cheap. I expected a lot more from valve.
timd @ Nov 12th 2008 10:44AM
i was real excited about this game, downloaded it......and it was crap....but good to see demos now allowing online multiplayer....ie. call of duty waw, now this.....its a good sign of things to come
WilhelmThe1st @ Nov 13th 2008 3:52AM
Could you please explain why it was crap? I've had the most fun playing this demo (have put in well over 10 hours) for as long as I can remember. So many 'oh shit' moments it's amazing. Getting a good group of guys to play together with is essential.
timd @ Nov 13th 2008 9:45AM
i was just disappointed, i heard go much great stuff about the game and when i played it it seemed hard to keep track what was going on, i dont like the side by side split screen, it was too much going on at once....you would get gang tackled by 20 zombies and you cant even look around...also i dont like how it shows the other people in your group, i guess its not crap but it was definetly a let down
xXxstuckyouxXx @ Nov 14th 2008 7:18PM

Faint Dj3 @ Nov 20th 2008 12:19AM
I can't find the demo!!!! Help me
Xist27 @ Nov 20th 2008 12:28PM
I could not find the demo either... I looked and looked... Help!!>
Bill @ Nov 21st 2008 3:58PM
Seems the Left 4 Dead demo has already been taken down. It's a real shame they did this, as I was really considering buying the game, but without testing it I don't think I will.
Left4Dead-fan @ Nov 21st 2008 9:09PM
Hey, could anyone let me know if there is something wrong with xbox live cause I was searching up the demo for left4dead and when I checked in games and did exactly what the passage said to do, it was there but in video form. Is there an error or something? I'd appreciate a reply, thanks ^_^
dave lucas @ Nov 26th 2008 12:52PM
im so stoked for this demo,im waiting on my full copy in the mail! just got xbox live,booted up and no demo! where the hell is the L4D demo?
haxlolwut @ Dec 4th 2008 12:32AM
Is it still there, because I've been looking for it and it's not there? Have they taken it down because the game has been out for a while?
Grimee @ Dec 7th 2008 6:44PM
Yeah same here...been looking for it for a few days and can't find it. Doesn't make sense that they'd remove it so soon...
yanick @ Dec 15th 2008 4:21AM
i live in the netherlands, i haven't pre-ordered the game, should there be a demo anyway? because i can't find it:S. can somebody help me. I want it really bad....
