Avid fans pull apart Left 4 Dead 2 demo, discover "Avatar Awards"

Vavle 's Left 4 Dead 2 is releasing on Xbox 360 and PC, with pre-order demos now live for impatient fans. These same fans have been peeking into the demo uncompressed.

They've discovered hidden away in text files that Left 4 Dead 2 seems to support rewards for Avatars on Xbox 360, and it's revealed how some are awarded. Valve is yet to comment.

The secret stash of possible avatar goodies was unearthed by users on the Steam forums, where numerous items (frying pan, garden gnome, L4D2 shirt, Bull Shifters shirt, Depeche Mode shirt, and more) are listed in text strings.

Accompanying them are descriptions on how they are earned by gamers. "A Bull Shifters shirt earned by winning 10 games of Versus," is one of the examples. Valve hasn’t commented yet on the findings of ever determined fans prying into code.

Left 4 Dead 2's demo is currently available for pre-order customers on Xbox 360 and PC.
