Damn, I was gonna play some RE: remake or AC tonight. Guess that's out the window, thanks Valve ya bastards. Still The Mrs likes L4D to so she'll probably have a go.

My Mrs loves it too.

How strange. I think she's more excited than me as well.

hey bad09, you seem to reference "the Mrs" quite a lot. Come on, own up - she's imaginary right? (I jest of course!)

Completely underwhelming. This might have been worth a look if they released it shortly after the game was released. Frankly by now we want new environments and this half-arsed functionality add-on just isn't good enough.

Looks like I will be dusting off my copy of L4D again.

Valve really should be releasing more content for this game on the xbox. A new map every 2/3 months would have kept things fresh. They could charge 400points and I would have bought them all.

Onyx, go away. Any more content for L4D is wonderful.

Fact is those two versus campaigns should have been in the retail game in the first place or released much sooner. Didn't make any sense at all really, except for Micro$oft's insistence to heavily stall the new content to promote the Xbox360 version.

Anyway, Survival mode sounds new enough though.

It never ceases to amaze me how miserable and demanding gamers are. Complaining about free content that no doubt took a lot of man hours to create and tweak so it's just right. Get a fucking life and some perspective.

Agreed, kinky_mong. It never ceases to amaze me how ungrateful some people are.

Anyone know how big the DLC is for Xbox yet?

It makes you add an update when you stick the game on, then you go into the main menu of L4D and "get survival pack" which is 101.18mb. I'm gonna have a go of it tonight, still loving this game. I'd like it if they added a new weapon, but I'm more than happy with what we're getting.

goody good, I've hammered RE5 to death so this is perfect timing for a switch back to 8p L4D.

Left 4 Dead is awesome, but there's no denying it was a little light on content. I bought this game in the knowledge that this is Valve and what's on the disc won't be the whole game a few months down the line.

I certainly won't complain about the update, but I would have complained had it not come.

Damn it! A couple of people are already on my friends list playing the new Versus maps!!!

Still, queued it up to download when I get in. I may just wet myself before then though... ^____^

People complaining should fuck off. Sure the game is light on content but because its so well balanced and the director mixes things up im still not bored (and i only really play the 2 vs maps). 2 new maps and a whole new game mode sounds like it will keep me going for another few months. And dont worry there will be more free content to come later on.

there is a good description of whats on the patch here http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/left-4-dead...

Haha, ok, so MS delayed the content? Right. Continue to fool yourself.

This is going to be an awesome day, evening, night! Here's hoping that they were working on new "movies" (campaigns) alongside this.

Well done Valve. This is the way it should be done.
Support for your products and free too.

Publishers don't seem to realise that we have paid a huge amount of money already, and some after sales support of its product is not too much to ask.

If they want a bigger slice of the pie, then cut out the middle man on the initial sale (as Valve are trying to do)

@ cathalzx

Yeah, funny I thought the same thing the other day! I guess because she is a keen gamer herself I use her experiences in my posts a lot. Also she always does nice little gaming related things for me, like the other day I posted on a AC2 story I was looking for AC the night before and couldn't find one, she read it and got a copy that night AND she put money towards my new PS2 this weekend. Top woman!

I'm a lucky guy TBH, she deserves a mention now and again purely for putting up with my Trek addiction! :)

I completely agree about those people complaining and their option to fuck off. PC gamers have got their knickers in a twist because the DLC is being released a few hours later than the 360 users. The mind boggles. Too many people around in need of a good swift one. Anyway, can't wait for new melee fatigue system, that should be...fun?

Im not complaining but i think the reason the PC is being delayed is to is so they dont encounter the same problems they had the last time they updated where all the servers went down and it was impossible to find a game for a day.
