No. If your PC can play Half Life 2 reasonably well then you'll be fine with L4D.

I played the demo for this several nights last week and has a blast. I'll be picking this one up come pay-day...............
4 player co-op zombie slaying ???? Nuff said !
I'm reasonably certain I'll get it in a day or two.
As a side note, is the marketing blitz everywhere or just here in Seattle? For years, Valve was located about eight blocks down the street from my house. (They might've moved across Lake Washington now.)
Anyway, it seems like every other billboard in town has L4D on it. I even saw a L4D billboard truck driving around town a couple days ago and some girls were handing out flyers in Pike Place Market last weekend.
Could it be that those guys are just pumping up their ego by plastering L4D stuff all over town?
Although I haven't seen billboards and such, I have seen commercials on Discovery and Spike for L4D.
I think I'll get this. The coop play is really intriguing.
And a blast if I must say so. Its limited to 4 guys (or gals) but its the most fun I've had in awile.
If your picking up L4D you might want to check out the Valve package. Its $99 and has every game valve has ever produced. Quite a steal if you like their games. I picked it up today. for $40 more than L4D I get it and 25 more games as well.
They have a huge billboard at the 80/101 merge in San Francisco as you come off the bay bridge. Pretty good sized board with their '4 finger' logo. A bit graphic for a roadside ad.
I'll be on playing this most every night. Last night Joe and I cleared the airport level (zombie baggage handlers, stewardesses and pilots!) Great fun! Look me up on Steam.
BTW, the built-in voice chat is pretty good and therefore you don't need to worry about Ventrilo.
I don't worry about ventrillo at all.
That makes two of us.
I have to admit I am a tad concerned.
downloading it now.
