Off to pre-order Left 4 Dead 2.

Our pre-orders are currently double what they were for Left 4 Dead 1 (Xbox 360 and PC) at this point in time away from launch. We're like 20 weeks out or something like that. We're seeing great enthusiasm from retailers, from EA, [and] the press called it multiplayer game of E3.

I think there was a little bit of confusion that we created unintentionally, by announcing a sequel and not having the complete story ready: announcing it and not saying, there's still a lot of stuff being worked on for Left 4 Dead 1, and the mod tools will work with both games.

I think that, over time, folks will see what we're up to, and there's more of this story to be told in terms of what's to come for both games.
