Free 'Left 4 Dead 2' offer causes new record in Steam concurrent users
According to the Steam online stats page, the number of concurrent users for "Left 4 Dead 2" reached a peak of 134,841 players today, second only to another Valve-developed game, "Dota 2". The same page shows that the number of total concurrent users on Steam reached a new high of 7,506,268 players today. Steam broke the 7 million concurrent user mark for the first time on December 1st. Another page on the Steam site shows that the total amount of bandwidth for downloads on Steam reached a peak of 4,415 Gbps earlier today, well above normal.
Valve is still in the middle of its annual Steam holiday game sale and it's likely that the number of online users will stay elevated through the end of the event on January 3rd. "Left 4 Dead 2" is part of the sale and while it's not free anymore, it's currently being sold for just $9.99, a 50 percent discount from its normal price.

Unfortunately i couldn't download the left for dead but at east i have it for my xbox. It would have been cool to play on servers full of players when it came out since there's barely people that play it on the 360.

They should seriously think about making a third in the series after their game has broken records from just being free...

CBJ Lol I hope they see that so many people jumped on that game and played it and broke records on Steam so they may think about Left 4 Dead 3.
Yah I would really love a L4D3.
