    Default Left 4 Dead Demo [Exclusive Early Download]

    The Left 4 Dead demo is available to anyone who pre orders the game on Steam, however those of us who wish to try the game out before pre ordering have to wait another week for the demo.

    However Digiex has managed to obtain the demo early for those of you wishing to try it then pre order, check below for download links.

    About the game

    From Valve (the creators of Counter-Strike, Half-Life and more) comes Left 4 Dead, a co-op action horror game for the PC and Xbox 360 that casts up to four players in an epic struggle for survival against swarming zombie hordes and terrifying mutant monsters.

    Set in the immediate aftermath of the zombie apocalypse, L4D's survival co-op mode lets you blast a path through the infected in four unique “movies,” guiding your survivors across the rooftops of an abandoned metropolis, through rural ghost towns and pitch-black forests in your quest to escape a devastated Ground Zero crawling with infected enemies. Each "movie" is comprised of five large maps, and can be played by one to four human players, with an emphasis on team-based strategy and objectives.
    New technology dubbed "the AI Director" is used to generate a unique gameplay experience every time you play. The Director tailors the frequency and ferocity of the zombie attacks to your performance, putting you in the middle of a fast-paced, but not overwhelming, Hollywood horror movie.





    Left 4 Dead will be released worldwide on PC and Xbox 360 this November.
    • Addictive single player, co-op, and multiplayer action gameplay from the makers of Counter-Strike and Half-Life
    • Versus Mode lets you compete four-on-four with friends, playing as a human trying to get rescued, or as a zombie boss monster that will stop at nothing to destroy them.
    • An advanced AI director dynamically creates intense and unique experiences every time the game is played
    • 20 maps, 10 weapons and unlimited possibilities in four sprawling "movies"
    • Matchmaking, stats, rankings, and awards system drive collaborative play
    • Designer's Commentary allows gamers to go "behind the scenes" of the game
    • Powered by Source and Steam
    How to Install and Play

    How to play over LAN/Hamachi

    1) Install hamachi
    2) All players must be on the same subnet class C
    3) Hamachi must be set as primary network adapter in advanced settings in control panel/network cnnections

    The advanced peer menu is used to configure per peer settings in Hamachi.

    HOST:

    Go to Hamachi : Preferences: Window to turn on the menu.
    Right Click the peer whose settings you'd like to edit.
    Go to Advanced...

    The menu will show your local Hamachi IP and nickname.
    You will see settings for Peer VPN alias

    EG. Your Hamachi IP is 5.69.127.35 and you have a friend that has 5.110.166.143.
    To keep his IP in the same class as yours, just enter your Hamachi IP at his peer VPN alias,
    adding an extra unit (5.69.127.36).

    It's a good thing for all users to use the same aliases so you don't have any conflicts!

    Now, when is ready, open your bat file and add -console, save it.

    Now launch a game with a .bat file.

    In the console type : sv_lan 1 then net_start then map and press TAB key and chose
    the 1st map on the list.

    The game will start, now the others players must connect to the server with command
    connect your hamachi IP.

    Yes preoder it on Steam if you're into any Valve game like Counter Strike or Team Fortress 2. If you like Zombies then prepare to be overwhelmed (by the zombies that is ).

    Woo, thanks for this upload, this is exactly what i was looking for . My net download quota gets reset tomorrow and i wanted to use up the remaining for this month on the demo (cause the non-pre demo comes out on tuesday and that would just eat away at next months, i only get 20gb), so i could work out whether to get it when the full game releases.

    Thanks for sharing this . Now i just hope it works

    Dam it, the download cut off at 948mb... how big is it meant to be?? There isn't a whole lot i can do to rectify that is there?? I'll just have to re-dl it?

    :edit:

    HAH! I worked it out, I DL'd the torrent file then chucked the incomplete file from the FTP download into its data, and it just picked up where it left off. Awesome, i totally didn't know you could do that, but i suppose it makes sense. I just hope the data isn't corrupted . But oh well, worth a try i guess.

    It should works fine, most torrent clients are smart enough to fix anything that gets corrupt.

    Good idea you had too

    Ok so it all worked fine, but i have one more question and if it can't be fixed then it doesn't matter, but i thought i would try. So the game ran, but the in game voice audio is in russian...

    I tried this from the help section for the torrent on piratebay. (as others are having the same problem i think)

    "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Valve \ Steam]
    "Language" = "english"

    in a .reg file, and it ran properly but didn't change anything (i assume this was for changing text??) Regardless it didn't fix the audio.

    Is there a way to alter this?? Some manner of file in the L4D folder i can change? I had a quick browse but nothing jumped out.
    If not then like i said its not the end of the world, no harm in trying tho

    Thanks again for the share, it's going to be great to get on and play it (i have to finish some study first, social psychology *yawn*). Glad i was able to use this months quota as well. Looks like its going to be a blast.

    How do you set the hamachi as primary network adapter on windows vista and xp? I used to be able to just disable my regular network and re-enable it after a few seconds, and hamachi would be set as primary, but since I updated to 1.0.3.0 so I can use the "advanced" option to configure per peer setting, that trick won't work, once my regular network is re-enabled it switches that to primary.
