Oct 2, 2009 - Valve, creator of best-selling game franchises (such as Half-Life and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced pre-order details for its upcoming action thriller, Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2).

Starting now, those who pre-order L4D2 via Steam will receive early access to the Left 4 Dead 2 demo (currently targeted for October 27) plus an exclusive in-game item - the American baseball bat, one of the 10 new melee weapons included in the game.

In addition, Steam is offering a 10% savings to those who pre-order.
 
Awesome - thanks beta!

also, if you order the 4-pack, it comes to 33.75 a person - pretty big discount from 49.99
 
If we order the 4 pack do we still get the in-game item ? Assumin we are one of the 'gifted' receivers
 
Yeah when you pre-order you get a Baseball bat for L4D2.
 
I may have to do this for the baseball bat... Only to make silly baseball puns of course.
 
I hope Valve are not going the MMO route with purchasable in game items - unless you pay with them for in game money, AND they stay, you dont purchase them for a week.

I haven't read or heard anything about L4D2 that mentions in-game transactions. The baseball bat is just a bit of swag to entice people to pre-purchase the game.

Hope the demo releases soon!
 
Gah, now im stuck between Borderlands and L4d2. Im thinking Borderlands first because ill have the money when l4d2 comes out, but I want the early demo/baseball bat..

D:
 
Pre-Ordered, can't wait for demo on the 27th. Hopefully the demo will have more than two levels playable like last time since there are 5 campaigns, because I don't want to torture myself again playing the same levels for 21 days until the game is released. :P
 
Pre-ordered. Hope to see you all on there, knocking things out of the park with that good ol' American pine.
 
Woo-Hoo! the demo is scheduled to release [officially] on Oct. 27

Is it worth pre-ordering. I'm debating on it, and when does the promo end?
 
Just a L4D2 tidbit on the new game mode called Scavenger:

Oct 8, 2009 - Valve, creator of best-selling game franchises (such as Half-Life and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced Scavenge, the fourth game mode to be included in its upcoming zombie thriller, Left 4 Dead 2.

Scavenge mode challenges players to compete in round-based games of up to 8 players (Survivors vs. Infected). The Survivors must battle both the Infected and the clock as they collect gas cans to refuel a generator located in each map. Every can the Survivors pour into the generator scores their team a point and adds time to the clock.

On defense, the Infected team plays as the boss Infected (including the new Spitter, Jockey, and Charger). They must keep the Survivors from fueling the generator by attacking them, destroying the gas cans, or running out the clock. During a round, each team gets an opportunity to play both sides, with the round going to whichever team successfully delivers the most cans.
