[sedition]

demo ready to go! release demo please.

[epmode]

Just in case anyone cares, it looks like the PC version will also have split-screen play.

[Chux]

Who the fuck plays PC games splitscreen?

[epmode]

Not me. But that was pretty much the only thing the 360 had over the PC port.

(The 360 demo is up now for pre-orders BTW. PC goes up in a few hours)

[raystorm]

damn you valve..hurry up already!

[FirstBlood]

PC splitscreen sounds AWESOME.

[epmode]

It's not officially confirmed but the post-demo video clip was found in the PC preload files. It apparently shows some splitscreen footage.

DECRYPTING NOW

[Drewbacca]

I need this game. None of my friends are going to buy it right away, though.

Is there any kind of deathmatch mode? I know I read somewhere that you can actually play a zombie and fight opposing humans, but it sounded like conjecture and not fact. I love co-op, but deathmatch would be much better for longevity.

[epmode]

Yeah, the mode will be there at launch. Not sure if it's in the demo.

edit: The PC demo doesn't even come with a server browser. Matchmaking only. WTF, Valve

Matchmaking's a good thing, for consoles and PC, but only as an OPTION. Still, I don't see how mods will work without a server browser so I expect it'll be there for the final release.
