So, I've been saying for a while that the odds are perhaps stacked too much in favour of the infected, with all these new OP special infected. However, the ability to res dead team members goes a long way towards evening this out a bit! It's not even worth speculating what's overpowered or not.. You can't tell from watching short videos how things play out. Lets just wait till we play

Can you say "demo details"? Few surprising things; It's set in "The Parish", the 5th and final campaign - general agreement of the official forums would be that it was from the first campaign, like L4D1. No specific mention of how many maps or if it includes several gameplay modes. Supposed to include "all" melee weapons, but not all the guns "Oct 15, 2009 - Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Half-Life and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced details and timing for the demo of its upcoming zombie thriller, Left 4 Dead 2.
The Left 4 Dead 2 demo will feature gameplay taken from "The Parish" campaign, set in the New Orleans French Quarter. Playable by 1 to 4 players over local or Internet connections on both the Xbox 360 and PC (with two-player split screen available on the Xbox 360), the demo features all the new boss infected zombies and all the new melee weapons included in the full product.
Those who pre-order the game (at participating retailers or via Steam) will obtain early access to the demo on October 27. The demo will then be made available to Xbox LIVE Gold members and all PC gamers on November 3. Then all Xbox LIVE members will obtain access to the demo on November 10.
Coming exclusively to Xbox 360 and PC, L4D2 promises to set a new benchmark for co-operative action games and become one of 2009's marquee titles. Set for release on November 17, the title adds melee combat to enable deeper co-operative gameplay, with items such as a chainsaws, frying pans, axes, baseball bats, and more.
With the AI Director 2.0, L4D's dynamic gameplay is taken to the next level by giving the Director the ability to procedurally change weather effects, world objects, and pathways in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match the players' performance. The result is a unique game session custom fitted to provide a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience each time the game is played.
Adding new Survivors, boss zombies, weapons, and items, Left 4 Dead 2 offers a much larger game than the original, featuring more co-operative campaigns, more Versus campaigns, new Survival maps, and the new competitive game mode, Scavenge, all available at launch."

I reckon, since this event is from the second map of "The Parish", that this will be the event they showcase in the demo. It's already been whored, so won't spoil any surprises for the full game, and more importantly, it's a gauntlet event www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-09-left-4-dead/50621

Not extra weapons, simon, COUNTER-STRIKE WEAPONS! It's been all over the forums for a couple of weeks. Part of the censorship. It's super-lame and another reason to not live in Germany! BTW - The vid i linked above, about me reckoning it'll be one of the demo levels? well, it is. I'm watching a live feed of some xbox noobs playing it now (as it's out on xbox now, sigh) and they're playing The Parish 2. So the demo is either TP1 and 2 or TP 2 and 3. My money is on it being TP 1 and 2. gaming.justin.tv/earwaxfaceEDIT: Confirmed as The Parish levels 1 and 2.

"I heard the French version of L4D2 comes with an option to surrender..." I heard you're slightly addicted and can't focus on anything else other than this demo.
