"Bringing 4chan to NeoGAF, one post at a time."

Someone suggested to me that he was Crushed in new form, but I don't know if that's true. If it is true, it explains why he wasn't giving out his Steam name for me to avoid him. :lol

LOL Nice!

I was the only post in the vicinity mentioning content updates (and I brought up TF2 last page).

I'M SORRY OKAY?

ya best be son

What an awful group name.

Unsurprising, though.

 

[ThaiGrocer]

I know this game will bring back memories of last year's L4D1, but how about the NES version?

I wish it was public right now so I can kill time before release.

 

[Everdred]

is anyone on GAF actually going to buy the physical PC release, though?

I did but only because I had credit at ea.com. I'm just going to add the key to Steam and download though.

 

[JWong]

There are 500+ GAF community members logged on Steam and no one is in the GAF chat room, for shame.

What's the GAF chat room?

 

[Niblet]

I know this game will bring back memories of last year's L4D1, but how about the NES version?

First I thought how awesome it is. Then I realized that once I look past the fandom it looks boring to play.

 

[ThaiGrocer]

Steam just crashed for me, restarted it, and now I get a borderlands update + a new l4d2 icon and pre-load update.

What's the GAF chat room?

Just Steam chat.

 

[gregor7777]

Steam just updated L4D2 and my virus scanner pops up again recognizing it as a trojan. :lol

 

[Scarecrow]

So, does this launch at midnight?

 

[xero273]

So, does this launch at midnight?

yes, for people living on the east coast. Unlock time is in the OP for other US timezones

 

[Flib]

These constant "Steam has finished downloading Left4Dead 2" popups are killing me. Are they just pushing through remaining bits of preload data?

 

[Red Scarlet]

So, does this launch at midnight?

~2 hours.

 

[Plaguefox]

[ClovingWestbrook]

~2 hours.

Love the new tag. You should have put "About to get some Boomer Blood!". But hey, what do I know, my original title for this thread was uninspiring so lol.

 

[TP]

Only three people in the Gaf chat room?

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Only three people in the Gaf chat room?

make that 4

 

[MGHA]

For me it says; L4D2 will be unlocked in 2 hours. its seven thirty in the PM.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

For me it says; L4D2 will be unlocked in 2 hours. its seven 0'clock in the PM.

Yup. That is correct. 12am eastern is when it releases so 9pm pst.

It's your thread, if you want something in particular as a title that's fine by me. It's not my thread.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

the little L4D2 icon is yellow now

=O

[Red Scarlet]

It's annoying that I have to wait until I restart steam and it's unlocked before I can even go in and put my Tank music and sounds in as well as get some binds going THEN get my settings and controls configured again THEN can finally play.

 

[GhostRidah]

oh god dont go on kotaku, I just got spoiled.

 

[dragonlife]

oh god dont go on kotaku, I just got spoiled.

Is the title a spoiler? Either way, thanks for the heads-up.

Mine isn't yellow!

I don't see anything on there?

 

[Red Scarlet]

I'm talking to Mutfox, who now doesn't want to get the game because he can't get the preorder bonus..isn't it just a Louisville Slugger skin of a baseball bat in the game anyway? Like non-preorderers get a baseball bat (maybe aluminum?), while preorderers have a LS skin of it?

Mine isn't yellow!

Restart steam.

Yep, and he could still use it if he's playing with other people who have it.

 

[GhostRidah]

it was in my news feed, it seems it wasnt kotaku, sorry for that scare but it was another game site, I forgot which because I closed my google reader soon as I seen it, but it was to late.

 

[Red Scarlet]

Have a link from anywhere saying specifically so?

 

[GhostRidah]

err it was kotaku, I found out they took the article down now? I click the feed and it just goes to their homepage, good news for you guys.

 

[Flib]

let me check if I can source it

edit: according to a bunch fo thread on the forums (and this would make sense), if someone in the group has the code, they will spawn in the map.

I feel like I read a more legitimate source for this though.

 

[Gr1mLock]

aggh..hour and change...

No I was just playing.

There's a link. Never heard of the site, but it's the first google link I found. But this information has been repeated in a bunch of interviews.

 

[Tim-E]

Restart steam.

There we go!

 

[Red Scarlet]

According to that link though, there isn't a regular baseball bat and the preorder is not a reskin of a bat everybody gets no matter what, he REALLY wants the bat. :/

I would stay up but I'd pay for it in the morning. I might get up extra early instead.

This "spoiler" wouldn't happen to be something that could easily be faked using Gmod, would it? Because if it is, some dude on the Steam forums made it two weeks ago.

 

[Flib]

The bat is a regular weapon in the game, the Steam bonus is just one that is skinned like an american flag I believe.

If anyone wants to play when this unlocks, hit me up (steam username is Flib), though I can only play until like 1:30est.

Yeah, that's what I'm looking for from a link, so he doesn't decide to not get the game at all because he can't preorder.

http://www.destructoid.com/left-4-dead-2-gets-preorder-baseball-bat-147690.phtml

"How it'll work is, if you're playing with somebody that's pre-ordered it, everybody playing gets it," confirms Left 4 Dead writer Chet Faliszek.

Does this help?

 

[Flib]

yeah http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/60343

It's not a reskin, but the thing about him being able to use it if other people have it is true.

edit: and I accepted your friend request.

 

[Red Scarlet]

No, because according to that, only preorderers get a baseball bat (and people that play with them). I told him/thought a baseball bat is in for everyone, but preorderers get a reskinned one (so therefore everyone gets the cricket bat AND *a* baseball bat, just preorderers get a different looking baseball bat).

He said he might not get the game at all if he doesn't get a baseball bat without preordering (and not having to play with preorderers to do so).
