How do I skip the intro movie
I have to sit through the intro trailer each time. Hitting 'esc' key or any other key doesn't work.
Not exactly a showstopper but it's annoying not to be able to go straight to the menu.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

add -novid to your launch options

I believe if you press the space bar, you can skip it.

If you press the enter key, you should be able to skip it.

Tried 'enter', 'space' and other keys.......no joy :(
Not sure where I would enter -nojoy -novid Raxxi.

Cancel my last, I figured it out as per Raxxi's suggestion. Right-click on the game in my library and then Properties then Launch Options. Thanks.
There's another way too:

Head over to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\media

Delete the following files:

l4d2_intro.bik
valve.bik

Or ya know instead of deleting game files you just add a small parameter to the launch options.
press spacebar
