Can’t fault their timing; just as people are about to abandon the first game en masse to pick up the sequel. Ah well. Better late than never, eh?
In related Left 4 Dead news, the Left 4 Dead 2 demo, which was previously restricted to Xbox Live Gold subscribers, is now open to silver subscribers too. Have at it, hoss.

Which is plain stupid, because the L4D demo used P2P hosting, and works fine.
I’m not buying the sequel. Too much, too soon, and I’ve got a copy of L4D that I don’t use because of the server hosting issue.

Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 12:07 AMI’ve got L4D, which I don’t play as much as I’d like to to the idiotic ping issues. Halo was one of the original 360 titles, and that gave us the option of only searching for games with good pings (usually ending up playing others in the region) why can’t L4D or L4D2 do this?
