Hot on the heels of the unexpected Portal (see our post) for Linux Valve have dropped Left 4 Dead 2 in Beta form for Linux users, pretty awesome news considering how popular L4D2 is!
Features
- Next generation co-op action gaming from the makers of Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress and Counter-Strike.
- Over 20 new weapons & items headlined by over 10 melee weapons – axe, chainsaw, frying pan, baseball bat – allow you to get up close with the zombies
- New survivors. New Story. New dialogue.
- Five expansive campaigns for co-operative, Versus and Survival game modes.
- An all new multiplayer mode.
- Uncommon common infected. Each of the five new campaigns contains at least one new “uncommon common” zombies which are exclusive to that campaign.
- AI Director 2.0: Advanced technology dubbed “The AI Director” drove L4D's unique gameplay – customizing enemy population, effects, and music, based upon the players’ performance. L4D 2 features “The AI Director 2.0” which expands the Director’s ability to customize level layout, world objects, weather, and lighting to reflect different times of day.
- Stats, rankings, and awards system drives collaborative play

Sexy! Been playing it like mad :D
There is a bit of a mouse issue every once and a while, but enabling/disabling Raw Mouse Input generally fixes it for me. Pretty solid for a Beta thus far. Hope you don't mind me sharing my video Liam :)

In the video I enable net_graph 1, so you can see the fps I'm getting at all times. It's ok, but does spike a lot depending on the action. Everything running at maxed graphics at 1080, if only my screen recorder would be more dependable. Thanks for the heads up btw, I only discovered I had L4D2 Beta thanks to this article :D

Anyone getting random "freezes?" The game will lock up, and then resume. GTX 680 with i5 3570K @4.5Ghz. Arch with GNOME SHELL.Me too, ATI Radeon HD 6870, AMD FX4100 3.6ghz, xubuntu 12.04.2, and i have even swap out my ATI for 250GTS and still does the freezing (ATI back in), have also change kernel from 3.2 to 3.5 which made it better but still not great, also been hacking pulse audio, and all sorts of console commands and command line commands, still freezing, its playable and gives me 130 to 290fps, so it should not be freezing, go figure.

First off, how did you manage to screen video record, Second, How do you enable/disable raw mouse?First, to screen record I use something called vokoscreen and set it to Codec: mpeg4 with Format:mkv.
Secondly, to enable/disable raw mouse input, go into Options -> Keyboard & Mouse (inside L4D2). Then you'll see it called Raw Mouse Input. To the right of it is the selection for enabled/disabled. Hope that helps :)
