Although I haven't played this enough to know much about it, I think there should be a car chase. Would be epic. Slow car and fast zombies.
More weapons, definitely.

Yeah, that was why they couldn't update the 360 version like they did with the PC one. AFAIK it will be $10 to get the same stuff PC has for free.Kptk92 wrote:

Valve are finishing up all of the class updates in 2008 to be released on the 360 version this year as well as the L4D DLC. Even if they don't want to charge for it, I'm sure Microsoft will want something out of it.
That actually sounds pretty sick...maybe work it into the mall one. You get out of the mall, get to a slow pickup truck which is barely working, and you have to travel to some mobile fortress (like the one in Blood Harvest).Zimmer wrote:

Could work.

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
They did for Oblivion too.FloppY_ wrote:

THis is definitely needed, and it better be free.
I bought this game on sale, with a gift card and now that i played it, it's not worth the full price IMO.
Fun as hell yes, but as far as content goes.... lacking. only a handful of "missions", few weapons, few options, small diversity of enemies.
I'd also like to see larger groups of survivors, maybe ammo sharing too. Just cause YOU ran out doesn't mean your buddy can't flip a magazine your way, should they have some extra ammo.
hopefully the DLC will put a wider variety in this game, or I bet alot of people will lose interest pretty fast.

as awesome as that would be. Moving parts in the steam engine are shit. The lift section of no mercy stops you jumping, if you did you would probably glitch through the floor. Their multiplayer collisions are poor at best.Zimmer wrote:

Bah.
It's just another article/proof that it's coming soon...a lot more reliable than the Xbox360Achievements.org site.TheAussieReaper wrote:

And it actually does add something because a company spokesman just told Kotaku yesterday that it'll be coming very soon, and now we've got an estimated date.
So neener.

The article mentions what's mostly speculated, if you'd even care to read it...apparentely not.
nah im not grumpy. sick of not knowing whats in the update though. but <3 pos.

I'm sure it'll be Dead Air and Death Toll added to be versus and a new campaign map. Question is, what?TheAussieReaper wrote:

The article I posted also mentioned it's probably going to have to do with the SDK, so that's a good thing for modders.
Most likely, but I doubt there will be a new campaign. The remaining two campaigns need some serious overlooking before they are balanced enough for versus.Poseidon wrote:

I really hope the SDK is coming though, so the community pops out more stuff.
But far more than new stuff I´d like to see some tweaks. Smoker needs some. Useless in most situations. And flying while in zombie spawn mode would be a big help. It´s annoying to fall of a pipe while climbing a building only to miss the opportunity to attack in the right moment .
Let's hope they fix the "skipping crescendo moments".Sisco10 wrote:

Nothing's more annoying than playing with people who want to skip them by exploiting level design.
You're playing a game solely about shooting Infected. Why would you skip a chance to shoot even more?
The sdk process is gunna be odd. Most people are clueless atm as to how its even going to work implementing custom maps into the game. theres no server browser, so that brings into to question how people select what custom maps they want to play, and do they need to dl them from the web or will it work in game like other steam games.Sisco10 wrote:

Their choice to change the server system has probably caused a hell of a lot of problems at valve now they have to consider how custom maps work rather than using the age old method their other games work.
I'd like to see some more background story to it. I know it's hard not to make it sound like Dawn of the Dead, etc. However, more than just a pre-menu cutscene would be nice.

News about the L4d DLC is here!
http://computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=207495The first L4D DLC - called the L4D Survival Pack -- is due for release this spring and introduces a new multiplayer game mode entitled, Survival, plus two complete campaigns for Versus Mode," says the firm. "A Critic's Choice Edition of the game will be heading to retail stores this spring and will include access to all the content introduced in the L4D: Survival Pack. But there's more if you're a PC gamer: "The first Left 4 Dead release for the Source Software Development Kit (Source SDK) will allow the creation of custom Left 4 Dead campaigns that will be discoverable via L4D's matchmaking system." The SDK update is also due this spring and will be free of charge to all owners of the full PC game.

......and the news sucks balls.
= unhappy community just now.
- It's worded in a way that implies it'll be charged for. Whether this is so 360 owners don't whine about free PC updates or whether it'll be charged for everyone is unknown. But it's worrying.
- Spring is fecking miles away. This was supposed to be released soon after release. People are getting utterly sick of No Mercy and Blood Harvest
- It's only stuff that should have been in the original damn game!
= unhappy community just now.
