Details have emerged on Valve's pre-release demo for Left 4 Dead, which goes on full release on Steam on November 18.

According to Valve's Chet Faliszek (in a chat with De-Frag) the zombie shooter demo will "most likely be the first two maps of the hospital campaign", which start off on a series of streets and later leads into a subway station (where there's probably zombies).

According to Valve, the demo will be available "shortly before release", so everyone will have a chance to discover how frickin' awesome the zombie co-op shooter really is.

Left 4 Dead is heading to both Xbox 360 and PC, though Valve still denies plans for a PS3 release.

Sweet. After Gears of War 2, this is my most desired shooter this holiday.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to this one at the LAN party.

Awesome! At least I get to find out if it's going in my christmas list in time.

This game has been hyped for over a year now. I never saw what looked so awesome about it, so I'm looking forward to getting some hands on time with it. A friend is a big zombie fan, so maybe we'll play some online co-op if it turns out good enough.

Survival horror co-op where the bosses are controlled by other people sounds pretty awesome to me.
