This is why Valve does, and always will, rock! | |
Ah,the beauty of Lampshade Hanging and Hypocritical Humour. | |
Nice surprise when i logged in today indeed :D | |
Pre-order a game so that you can enjoy a different game? That's a fun way to advertise. | |
Amen, Welcome to the Escapist mmmm, just ashame I'm too young to pre-order :'( | |
I won't be getting that hat. Never mind eh? It's not the first time universes have collided, Half Life 2 Ep 2 has an Aperture Science boat in it. | |
Well, I'm glad that I've been holding back my pre-order then. To Steam! | |
That's just a dick move. Not a big one, but still a dick move. | |
Sigh. Preordered the retail version that said that it would give me preorder goodies. No hat for me then. | |
Yea, i got one of those hats since i bought the STEAM offer that game me both Left for Dead 1 and 2. It's to bad i don't actually own Team Fortress 2 besides the version that came with the Orange Box for my Xbox 360 and i almost never play it. | |
What a nice little feature. Sadly I can only play TF2 on the 360. | |
Awww, it's in TF2? To have a spymask would be awesome | |
Watch the sheep flock to the shiny prize! Jesus! Valve should start selling magic beans/the secret to eternal youth/Christ's cup/time-share to the gullible herd. | |
Portal and Half-Life are the same universe. | |
How are you too young to pre-order, lie! OT: I hate hats! because I have NONE! | |
I'm pretty sure there will be groups designed specifically to bitch about this hat. Yep. pretty sure... | |
L4D2= 18 Me = 15 | |
Im 17, (1992) but I always make my accounts 1982. For that reason. | |
uhhhh, the problem with that is that portal IS part of the half-life story and universe (if you didnt notice all the black mesa refrences in portal and aperture science talkings about in episode 2), whereas tf2 and left 4 dead arent. | |
Damn. I was planning on waiting a bit before I bought L4D2, but now I'm not sure if I can make myself. The pros of pre-ordering are starting to heavily outweigh those of waiting a bit... | |
I already have it | |
o i love valve! always giving away and lowering the prices for pre-orders! gonna have to Pre-order it tonight! and the Demo! weeeeeee | |
Well Half Life and Portal were probably in the same universe anyway. L4D and TF weren't. | |
In any case, I have no interest in L4D2. So I'd be playing $40 for a hat. Doesn't seem worth it to me. | |
I might as well wait for Christmas...by that time, I can be the lovable noob everyone takes under their wing | |
WAIT WAIT WAIT, so to get people to buy L4D2 (the one without bill) they are giving away bill's hat? | |
Portal is set in the same universe. | |
Nice, here's hoping Bill and Co appear in L4D2. | |
LIES! The chainsaw in L4D2 says HALE as in Saxton Hale from TF2! This isn't the first crossover!RAGESPLOSION*explodes* | |
Im not much of a fan of TF2. But if i was i would see the hat as a gimmick that loses fun quickly. There should be a unlockable Bill when the team get a high enough score or something. | |
I don't understand this. It's not like anyone would drop 5 dollars for a virtual hat, right? If you were gonna preorder the game, you would have; I doubt this would have really changed your decision is all I'm saying. That's pretty cool though. | |
Those bastards! | |
Hat? It's a cool bonus, sure but nothing to boast or get all excited for. | |
This is why I shall not be buying that game due to my immense phobia of hats, I mean seriously they freak me out. | |

Preorder Left 4 Dead 2, Get a Special TF2 Hat
Play Team Fortress 2? Want your characters to wear Bill's beret from Left 4 Dead? Preorder L4D2 to make it happen.
This should be of great interest to the Valve fanboys in our audience (which is to say, that's pretty much all of you): There are plenty of good reasons to preorder Left 4 Dead 2 on Steam. For one, it's about $5 cheaper. For another, you can start playing the demo right now. Valve has added in a third reason to go ahead and put your money down for L4D2 - anyone who buys the game ahead of time will be awarded their own exclusive hat for use in Team Fortress 2.
The more sharp-eyed amongst you all may notice that the jaunty beret atop the heads of the Demoman and Soldier is actually the very same hat worn by grizzled old military veteran Bill in the first Left 4 Dead, a fact which is neatly handwaved in the TF2 blog announcement:
If you've already preordered, the hat should be awarded the next time you fire up a game of TF2. For everyone else, there's still time before L4D2 hits shelves on the 17th.
