    Left 4 Dead 2 Sees Four-Fold the Original Left 4 Dead's Pre-Orders

    That's right. Left 4 Dead 2 now has four times as many pre-orders as the first Left 4 Dead game had. Valve told CVG the relative figure in an interview.
    "Speaking to CVG in a recent interview, Chet Faliszek said he thinks the gaming public is finally excited for the sequel after the initial post-E3 ruckus.

    "As we get closer to launch we see the reaction to the demo, pre-orders are four times what Left 4 Dead 1 was, people's excitement, the boycott itself and how it's changed... I think people are just excited now," he said."

    This news has a mildly surprising taste to it, given all boycotts and criticisms of the sequel.

        Well honestly, I'm not surprised.

        L4D was a huge hit after its release, its only obvious that the sequel will see an increase in pre-orders.

              Well, people know what they are getting...

              I still cant justify spending full price after the demo, but its still one to buy!

                  Yeah, the demo got me excited for the full game. Hacking Zombies bits off with a machete is just so fulfilling.

                        lets hack atkinson to bits to see if he likes it instead of digital zombies! (the AFP (australian federal police) is now watching this thread)

                          Does Valve pay you for four-pack sales pitches? It seems you're always getting one or trying to get someone else to get one. I'm on to you
