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.
