(Please note, I read another thread on whether or not to upload these. It said "maybe not" for the Steam2 leak, but several Portal 2 builds were added here anyways, so I'm just assuming we can do Steam2 stuff. Please let me know if this is an issue, I'm just here for the archiving)

Here's some beta builds for Left 4 Dead 2. Only missing one of them (I think) (October 1 - 701_7), but only because I ran out of Google Drives for it (and I'm not buying more space. That's dumb), so I extracted the more "majorly different" builds.

Also, so as to not cause issues (not sure if a post-retail pre-DLC build counts as piracy), any post-release beta isn't included, but you can probably find those yourself.

One or two of the builds may not run since they can't "detect Steam" running. My workaround is just setting their Steam App ID files (generated after running the game once, main directory) to 550 (retail L4D2), and then setting the file as read-only. Bonus is you'll be able to take screenshots with them.

(Build dates are estimated based on file dates compared to build dates listed on TCRF)

I'll keep these up until an actual download page for L4D can be created. Any issues with downloading, please let me know. Also, I haven't exactly tested all of them, just two or three. These builds may also need patching to fix potential crashes/glitches, but I can't make those.

Also, if someone can provide the L4D1 builds (they're listed on TCRF), I'd appreciate it. I've tried getting them myself, but they keep extracting the same June 2008 build (which I can't even get running for some reason), no matter what version I extract.

Just some screenshots from what I think are the August builds, mainly from Dead Center and Dark Carnival (which only had four maps, interestingly).
