Pre-order Left 4 Dead 2, get a spiffy Team Fortress 2 hat

Some may hold issue with the fact that the Team Fortress and Left 4 Dead universes have collided; however, Valve has explained the phenomena, stating that "while conducting a science experiment on parallel dimensions, Bill's hat fell off a table into the Team Fortress universe." Done! That's all the justification required. Oh, and if Bill's hat isn't enough incentive to pre-order the zombie apocalypse survival simulator, know that the game is currently 10% off on Steam.

Gasp get the soldier so
e sunglasses! He's not used to this much light in his eyes!

Wow, i never realized how much the Soldier looks like the heavy. They must be brothers, torn apart by war and ideals!
Shadow Hog @ Nov 3rd 2009 4:46PM
...and the fact that one's American and one's Russian.
The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] @ Nov 3rd 2009 4:50PM
clearly the soldier is just putting on a fake accent to hide his shame of being brothers with such an animal

Or maybe its political commentary?

It should make it so you can shout "PILLS HERE!"

I'm glad to have a hat that's not the freaking halo, but in other news... why can't i get any other hats??
*bitch bitch*
Still, this is really cool. I hope they keep stuff like this up.

I got two more hats within the last week!
...as did anyone who did the Halloween achievements!

Worst pre-order bonus evaaaaa!
JimboTJones @ Nov 3rd 2009 5:52PM
This is like the fourth pre-order bonus. They already gave 10% off, early access to the demo, and the baseball bat. Anything they add on top of the listed bonuses is just gravy on the top.

I think it's ironic that even though people were complaining that TF2 was getting more love than L4D, the preorder bonus for L4D2 is a TF2 hat. It makes more sense, sure, but I still think it's funny.
kojo87 @ Nov 3rd 2009 5:10PM
TF2 is better than L4D. i bought both games on their launch days so i have the right to say that. i probably will not be getting L4D2
Nikonov @ Nov 3rd 2009 5:39PM
What Kojo said.
cloud858rk @ Nov 3rd 2009 7:46PM
Yep, TF2 > L4D.
CaramelZappa @ Nov 4th 2009 4:43AM
I only played L4D for a couple weeks. It was fun, but TF2 has kept me playing day after day after day. It's easily the best online shooter I've played. I pre-ordered the 4-pack of l4d2, and I'm sure it'll be awesome, but I also know that after I've had some fun with it I'll be going back to playing TF2.
By the way, Bill's hat does look pretty cool on every class.
Sam @ Nov 3rd 2009 5:04PM
if demoman ever looked more like samuel L jackson than in this ad, I am not aware of it
grex9101 @ Nov 3rd 2009 5:28PM
Pity you don't get a 360 tf2 update instead.
You know the update that was releasing THIS TIME LAST YEAR.
Valve can go blow goats, if they're not all doing that already.
Nikonov @ Nov 3rd 2009 5:38PM
Looks like someone bought the inferior version of the game.
Mr.ESC @ Nov 3rd 2009 6:29PM
Who bought the PS3 version?
What is this I don't even...? @ Nov 3rd 2009 6:55PM
Just be glad that they MIGHT update it unlike the poor PS3 users.
finnith @ Nov 3rd 2009 5:31PM
I just bought TF2 today (I'm pretty late to the party, huh?). Anybody up for some matches? I'm not on too much though cause of uni.
What is this I don't even...? @ Nov 3rd 2009 6:13PM
Well then the L4D and TF2 teams has lost all respect from me...
Kattleox @ Nov 3rd 2009 6:32PM
Aww got my hopes up. I was hoping for a real-life hat.
I suppose then we will all just have to settle for imaginary hats.
What is this I don't even...? @ Nov 3rd 2009 6:53PM
Damn it TF2 and L4D teams have let me down (I'd expect something like this from EA or Activision).
spencer byrd @ Nov 3rd 2009 7:29PM
is it me or does the demo man look like Samuel L Jackson
What is this I don't even...? @ Nov 3rd 2009 9:00PM
Now that made me a sad panda I was just stating an opinion...
capt_carl @ Nov 4th 2009 8:47AM
I thought that was Heavy at first. Soldier looks so weird when you can actually see his eyes.
