Seriously. At times this is reduced to a slideshow, due to the crappiness of my graphics card properly. (Speaking of which, any tips on how to drop the graphics quality lower than Low?) Still I am playing on!
Just got pinned, and then saved at pretty much the final possible point and I got to shoot a Hunter off another team mate as I lay dying. AWESOME.

Most Source games will allow you to force DX8 instead of normal DX9... it'll look ugly, but it might be more playable for you.  It usually involves an extra command in the shortcut to the executable; if L4D will let you do this, the command should be in a readme or somewhere on the official Steam boards.

Awww..


So after a two hour download, I found myself the proud owner of the L4D demo (via steam) Being the patient and strategic fellow that I am, I immediatly joined an online server. (The quickmatch thing ROCKS.) Standing on a roof top, I found myself with three other survivors and what looked to be a stash of ammo and weapons. Taking a step.... I noticed it was rather choppy. After about ten minutes of play I had to quit. Settings yielded my solution. (Hello, "Low") Re-joining a different server, I then played for roughly forty minutes.

Intense is the only word I can use to describe this game. To say the co-op is top notch is an understatement. I havn't had this much fun since TF2. Sure my comp can't handle the higher end graphics settings, but who cares? The game HAS to run smoothly.

Sadly, steam chose to kick me off of the demo when the main game was released. So now I'm forced to wait until my next paycheck to pick up this gem...... ah well. Hope everybody else is having fun! Oh, and let me know how the full version is? I'm currently trying to decide if I should spend the remainder of my paycheck on Flight Simulator X (Yeah... I do love me some flyin') or L4D. Mainly, a map count would be nice, sure the enemies are randomized, but the maps all seem rather short. I'd hate to spend $49 on a few maps when I could spend $30 on a much bigger, and more established game.

Nodaisho:
I am not certain, but I think that there are four campaigns, with five maps each. The comparison is made of how in online games, you usually only play a few maps anyway, but I don't think that is accurate. In CS, for instance, each map has a lot of different ways to go about it, where as there are only a few little ways you can change how you go about L4D (at least, in the demo, hopefully I am proved wrong for the full game).

Dimmukane:
Dude, I played through the same two levels 10 times in a row and didn't want to stop for sleep.  Each iteration was terrifyingly different.  If you don't think 20 levels is enough, maybe you should hold off until they release a new campaign or two.  But I could play the demo for weeks on end as is.

Also, Nodaisho; it's a bit more complicated than that.  I use the same CAT5 for my 360 and PC, switching between the two.  It works fine on my PC.  If I duct-taped it to my 360 (which I take with me often), it would only be reapplied twice a week, costing me money for lots of duct tape.  I tried putting it in a router so I wouldn't have to switch back and forth, but alas, that didn't work....although if I tape it to the router....hmm.  Maybe tomorrow.

I wish I COULD play the demo for that long. Stupid steam. I'll probably tell myself that I'm NOT going to buy it, and then... buy it anyway. I mean.... sure, all the little features are kewl. (Dualies, Ai director, the minibosses, the way each map is random. etc. etc.) but at the end of the day I was sold at "Zombies."

Ah well. Such is life.

On a related note... I was playing the demo (before steam locked it.) and going through the subway, it was on Expert or somesuch. Can the game have more then one Witch per level? I thought you could only have one? (I ask because my teamates kept swearing there was another up ahead.... there wasn't.)
