Valve today announced DLC for Left 4 Dead 2 would be arriving in the early part of 2010, and will bring the original survivors from Left 4 Dead down south to meet up with the newest cast of zombie fighters.
"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," explained Valve VP of marketing guru, Doug Lombardi, by way of the official press release. "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."
The content will also feature new arenas for Versus, Scavenge and Survival as well as a new co-op challenge mode and introduce an entirely new zombie class, all alongside the new single-player and co-op additions to narrative.
Currently "early 2010" is as close to a release date as we have.

The above is taken from Steam. So it looks like we will only play as the L4D2 survivors not the L4D1 survivors.

Let alone 16 :/
Speaking of which, I'd like to see a patch that allows you to at least refresh, and sort or even filter, steam group servers.

I meant when you want to just have a quick bash of versus with 1 or 2 of you.
To get on a server is a pain, then 90% of the time you do, you're on a local aussie server, but everyone else is in singapore or are yanks etc.
The moral of the story is, console lobbies/matchmaking are bad :<

- you get on a server and it's full of weird names or one side where all the names are two consonants
- they _refuse_ to speak either over the mic or by typing
- they are really, really, really, really bad at fps in general, let alone the left4dead-specific parts of fps
- when you start pwning them, your own team votekicks you and they all vote yes within a split second of each other
did I interrupt some weird fps training program by simply joining and playing normally?!
are they using telepathy or some external voicechat or what!?
it's truly bizzare

Join a 7/8 steamgroup server on map 1.
You're surrounded by a bunch of loudmouths over mics all with 500 pings. Then they start going "who the hell is Knife, what is he doing in here... get out". Which I respond "F*** off, it's a public Australia server, suck a d***".
Then I get voted out.
Oh yeah, they're complete and utter noobs... who the hell plays an entire versus campaign on an international server?

I often end up playing on US servers cos there seems to be much less a ratio of fail/rq's. but the last few days more and more of them seem to be running high ping kick
prolly need to do that here

Yeah wtf is with all the instant votekicks on L4D2? I finally snapped the other week and ended up re-joining the server every 15min to incap them all before they could re-kick.

probably free for PC but not for 360.

I've found this to be the downside of joining games through the open server browser eh. good pings are easier to spot.. but some peeps just don't like you accidently jumping into their friends only game, even if the rest of their mates haven't shown yet
wtf man - didn't I make you a GameOp on my servers?

It's an Australian, over the age of 18 - that enjoys playing video games who also understands that they (conundrum right?) aren't real.
