This game worth buying ? Easy to find team mates or you have to wait for friends to come online to play/co-op ?

Yea. Try posting in the playdate thread. And there are loads of servers including valve ones. I strongly recommend joining the L4D2 official group on Steam. It shows a big list of servers.

This game worth buying ? Easy to find team mates or you have to wait for friends to come online to play/co-op ?
Yea, IMO. Check gameplay videos, since it always boils down to personal opinions. You can play with randoms/AI on servers, no need to wait for friends.

OT : I guess TDF never really had a L4D2 thread. (Closest is this ancient thread :*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/gamerz/122393-official-left-4-dead-left-4-dead-2-multiplayer-partaayy.html )

I just hope that they don't remove the game if I have not completed the download by that time because I know that I can't. If someone has a official confirmation on this subject then please post link, it would be really helpful.

Well many games comes and goes from my account. I mean time limited games, they will come and go.

I Know.but those games are like this "Shogun 2 --- 5 days remaining" after 5 days it vanishes from your account.The Free L4D2 is like the Metro 2033 give away
Left 4 Dead 2 free on Steam until tomorrow - TechSpot
Unlike the usual free game Steam weekends, which allow you to play the game for free for a limited time, if you download Left 4 Dead 2 during the promotion it will add to your library, allowing you to play it free forever. It may not be the newest game, but for the grand total of $0 it sure is good value.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. As I started the download yesterday itself and more than 30% is already is already completed so what the hell let it download then to full. Thanks for the confirmation that game won't be deleted if I don't complete the install process till 10AM PST.

It will stay in library. Why close download ? Just start download, set it to not auto update. This way you can download whenever you need it.

If the game is downloading at a lower speed compared to what your connection really offers then you might want to change download server.
View>Settings>Downloads and select download region as Japan, South Korea or somewhere in Europe.

Many might not see any change as our connection speed rarely saturate any server out there.

My connection offers 16mbps-20mbps down so switching to S.Korea really helped.
