L4D2 pre-orders doubling original
Valve’s told EG that Left 4 Dead 2 pre-orders are double those taken for the original game.
“Our pre-orders are currently double what they were for Left 4 Dead 1 at this point in time away from launch,” said Valve’s Doug Lombardi. “We’re like 20 weeks out or something like that.”
He added: “We’re seeing great enthusiasm from retailers, from EA, [and] the press called it multiplayer game of E3.”
The zombie shooter’s out later this year for PC and 360.

Wow, that anti-L4D2 boycott and internet petition from the PC professional bore crowd really hitting home there.

Almost nobody pre-ordered the original because the demo came in very late. That demo (only active for a few days) totally sold it for me.
