dMw are proud to announce that our Left4Dead Demo server is up and running. The demo limits the server to 4 players so don't hog it all night in case others are wanting to try it out - there are only two levels just now anyway.
Here is the nitty-gritty:
cs.deadmen.co.uk:27030
server password: see password page (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=3363)
RCON PW: as per CSS
Server is set to "HARD" difficulty (OB and I played it on Normal setting and it was far too easy - Hard seems about right)
You should setup a shortcut to the -=[dMw]=- left4dead server on your desktop and add " +connect cs.deadmen.co.uk:27030 +password xxxxxxx" to the startup line.
My shortcut properties are:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 530 +connect cs.deadmen.co.uk:27030 +password xxxxxxx
There is a file in "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead demo\left4dead\media" called startupvids.txt - if you delete the contents of the file you won't get the videos at startup but it's worth watching the intro at least once :)
Leave the server after the end before the silly advert starts running or you will be stuck watching the advert and you can't quit from the advert :sad:
You may want to bind a key to "connect cs.deadmen.co.uk:27030"
Big tip, always aim at the head. Takes far fewer shots to down the zombies.
Pistols have unlimited ammo, keep your main weapon for the bad times :)
So far the game has been different every time I have joined the server - nothing is where it was in last round :)
Enjoy
HLSW will work with this so you will be able to see who's on :)
Having trouble getting this off steam, the store page has an install button but when I click it just reloads the page.. anyone else had that problem?
Edit: Never mind, just read it properly and saw you need to preorder, which I have now done. :)
Yep. looks like you have to pre-order it through Steam THEN you can see if you like it. :g: Good plan. I've pre-ordered it via the dMw Amazon doohickey
The demo should be available to everyone next week I believe
You get to play the demo of a game you've already bought for a week before others can play it. I understand they like to reward people, but that doesn't make much sense to me.

Nor me. But I was going to buy it anyway so, what the heck.
Greatly looking forward to playing tonight, almost finished downloading. :)
