A demo for PC was released on November 6, 2008 to those who pre-ordered the game through Steam, GameStop, or EB Games. It was then released to the public alongside an identical Xbox 360 demo on November 11.
It contains the first two chapters of the No Mercy campaign, playable in the co-op mode, both locally and online. The demo is not available for download anymore.
Map Differences#
The Apartments#
The Apartments map is the same as the final game.
The Subway#
The Subway map's safe room is placed after the generator room instead of inside the pawn shop, unlike the final game. There is a spotlight above the door frame and a graffiti marking that this is a safe room. However, the rest of the map is still present, including all scripted sequences.
When the demo is completed, an upsell video will play telling players to buy the full game.
Exploits#
When using console commands, the player can play as the Infected and enable the split-screen feature. A patch released November 10, 2008 removed these options.
