"Left 4 Dead 2" Free Online Play This Weekend! - 1/11/10

This is the ultimate hot news of the week!

For just one weekend, those of you who have an Xbox 360 console and a copy of "Left 4 Dead 2" are not required to pay subscription fees online to play! Typically only Xbox Live Gold subscribers have online access.

The great news is that regular silver membership gamers will be able to play online from Friday, January 15 at 17:00pm GMT, until Monday, January 18 17:00pm, GMT. Did you know that only one 1 million out of 2 million people have only played the game online? The reason for this is because there are 1 million gold subscribers who have played it online, leaving the rest of the population out.

A writer on Gamerant.com wrote, "I'm guessing the other million bought it for the 4-player local co-op options and don't need to play with strangers over the internet. That's a hint to all other developers out there to start utilizing the multiple controller functionality of the current gen consoles. (Yes, I'm looking at you Infinity Ward and your 2-player only spec ops mode and lack of co-op in campaign in Modern Warfare 2). Does this deal affect you?"
