Why would someone join an online game, with random folks, if they were concerned with getting achievements in the Dark Carnival level? That was frustrating as hell realizing a party member was not going to move away from trying to get a Gnome.

*sigh*, buy the game, play it when she isn't home, "open" it for Xmas, but don't let her see you swap it for the already opened one, then return the sealed one after Xmas...simple.

You could follow this advice ... or you could be an adult who doesn't need to sneak behind mommy's back to play your video games and either do what you're doing (waiting), or tell her that you're going to play it.

First DLC announced for the game.


Left 4 Dead 2 DLC brings back Zoey, Francis et al
Monday 14-Dec-2009 7:30 PM "The Passing" to arrive early spring
Valve has announced the first piece of DLC for Left 4 Dead 2, which brings in Louis, Bill, Zoey and Francis from the first game to meet the cast of the second.

We're excited! The press release continues thus:

"Dubbed "The Passing," the first game add-on for L4D2 brings the original Left 4 Dead (L4D1) Survivors down south for a meeting with the L4D2 cast, while delivering new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay for the PC and Xbox 360."

"Targeted for release in early spring, "The Passing" takes place just after the Dead Center campaign of L4D2. Set in a small town in rural Georgia, players assume the role of the L4D2 Survivors as they meet with the L4D1 characters."

"In addition to the new co-operative campaign and associated narrative, "The Passing" will include new arenas for Survival, Versus and Scavenge mode and introduce a new co-operative challenge mode of play. The Passing will also include a new "uncommon common" zombie class, melee weapon, and firearm."

"'The Passing will become the most important campaign in the Left 4 Dead story, as all the Survivors are being called together in one campaign," said Doug Lombardi, VP of marketing at Valve. "It will also be a huge offering of new gameplay content, with something new for every game mode plus a new uncommon common and weaponry.'"

Now if only we could have all 8 survivors playing at one time...

I thought I remembered there being talk that L4D2 would allow you to play L4D1 without having to switch discs?

Finally played Dark Canival. What a fun level! I enjoyed it much more than the Mall. We managed to get the Gnome on the first run through (normal), but lost it during the process of trying to shut down the roller coaster. :( Some great bits through - we really enjoyed the carousel, rug slide, coaster, tunnel of love and the stage finale.

Sounds like they will be NPC's that interact with the 4 new playable characters in L4D2.

I don't even think anyone is playing this game anymore but here's some update news from:

http://www.l4d.com/blog/

January 22, 2010 - L4D Team

With our last update having come out a few weeks ago and the next one a few weeks out, we wanted to let people know what we are working on. In addition to "The Passing" DLC, we are working on some other updates coming for both PC and 360. While not a complete list by any means, we wanted to give a heads up on a few Versus changes coming.

Bots
We are adding bots for the Infected team to help out the Infected when they are down a man or two. This will also make 1v1 Versus a bit more fun.

Auto-spawning
We've also been experimenting with a solution for auto-spawning in Versus finales. Even though it's pretty obvious from the L4D forums that EVERYONE LOVES auto-spawning in finales, we figured, what the hell-we'd just go ahead and remove auto-spawning anyway. But before we make any change to Versus we always need to see how the game is currently being played.

So how do finales currently play out? Across all finales in Left 4 Dead 2 currently, a single survivor has a 34.56% chance of escaping. That includes the Concert Finale in "Dark Carnival", which boasts close to a 50% escape rate (and yes, a fix for everyone's favorite cheese spot is coming). Remove the Concert Finale, and we see the average drop to 29.61%. With these figures in mind, when we make changes, we can measure the difference and see how much the change impacted the balance.

Another stat we often see discussed: What gets played more, Versus or Campaign? It really depends on the day, as they are almost always statistically tied. They are unquestionably the two favorite modes of Left 4 Dead.

Also: With work on "The Passing" in full swing, we will soon be recording the actors. First up in our recording sessions is everybody's favorite suit-wearing zombie killer Nick, played by Hugh Dillon. If you haven't already caught it, Hugh's show Durham County has been picked up by ION and is on Sunday nights at 10pm.

Oi, does anyone happen to have an extra baseball bat code? :(

I just found out about it Saturday night.

Re: Left 4 dead 2 thread of zombie action
 
I sure hope there's people here still playing. I am in the process of have been for some time trying to finish my last couple of achievments. I have finish Dead Center on expert but need to finish the rest of them. If anyone is up to it please lmk and send me a freind request I'm so sick and tired of people starting but then quiting. I'm up to play tonight or whenever. My gamertag is in my sig.

Re: Left 4 dead 2 thread of zombie action
 
I can't even imagine with this game is like on "Expert". :lol:

Larry C. 02-04-10 01:09 AM

Re: Left 4 dead 2 thread of zombie action
 
:lol: hard as shit but its a fun challenge and when you finish one on expert you feel really good.

Re: Left 4 dead 2 thread of zombie action
 
I tried playing on Expert for an hour or so. Did not go well. I cannot imagine finishing a campaign.

wlj 02-04-10 02:02 PM

Re: Left 4 dead 2 thread of zombie action
 
i cannot imagine crossing the bridge on expert. that would be insane.

Larry, have you completed any campaigns with realism cut on?

PixyJunket 02-04-10 05:00 PM

Re: Left 4 dead 2 thread of zombie action
 
I'm still playing, but I've got one more campaign to play with my girl before I'll go online with others. I have, on the other hand, somehow ignored both No More Heroes 2 AND Bayonetta on my week off this week and have been pretty hardcore playing L4D1.
