Valve Confirms Left 4 Dead Demo
Gabe Newell, managing director and co-founder of Valve, has confirmed plans for an Xbox 360 and PC demo of hotly anticipated zombie shoot-em-up Left 4 Dead.

Newell told VideoGamer.com at Leipzig Games Convention that it will include the first part of one of the four campaign 'movies', probably The Hospital level that has been demonstrated to the press.

He also confirmed that the demo will facilitate online cooperative play as well as single-player, although he couldn't confirm a release date for the demo.

Most demos are released before the final product. Normally a week before, but it's not always the case. Here's hoping it is in this case though!

Being Valve, I'm expecting a post-release demo, same sort of thing they did with Half-Life 2.

Indeed - I would be expecting the demo after its release.

I hope Valve give us the ability to give guest passes once in a while also.

Oh I imagine they will, something that is so successful with TF2 wouldn't be forsaken for L4D

So essentially a demo for L4D post-release would have to be a guest pass.

My guess is that any demo will be a single scenario (or part of one) in which you can only play single player... Or somesuch like that.

Valve will find a way, they tend to be good at that

Indeed - I guess it will be a single player version, cheating would be a big issue if it was not.

Possibly playable co-op online.

They won't put online in the demo, and if they do it will have a limited timespan.

If they put it in people can just download that and play it with their friends without buying the game.

I'm confused here. From the OP:

He also confirmed that the demo will facilitate online cooperative play as well as single-player, although he couldn't confirm a release date for the demo.
It's been confirmed that the demo will have an online option.

I missed that party myself. it should be interesting to see how that will work - I would of thought that cheating would have been an issue.

It would have to have the same requirements if it was released post-launch.
