New L4D campaign available on the 29th

Postby Blink on Wed Sep 23, 2009 8:51 am

Just had official word from Valve that we can get our dirty hands on the new L4D campaign as of September 29th. The new release is called Crash Course and helps the story along between the No Mercy and Death Toll campaigns:

Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress, and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced that Crash Course -- the second downloadable content (DLC) update for its co-operative zombie thriller, Left 4 Dead (L4D) -- will be made available worldwide on September 29 on Xbox 360 and PC.

Crash Course delivers new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay to both platforms, and bridges the gap between the end of the "No Mercy" campaign and the beginning of "Death Toll" in the original game.
While containing both Survival maps and a Co-operative Campaign, the primary goal of Crash Course is to deliver a complete Versus mode experience in just 30 minutes, resulting in a streamlined version of the game's existing Versus campaigns. A recharge timer for infected teammates has also been added, and item spawn behavior has changed for more balanced gameplay.

It's about time we got some new content and I personally can't wait for some new L4D experiences.

First!

Also, this should make L4D fun again. For an hour or two.

Fail.


This means another LAN party with my buds. Everytime a good custom map comes out, we LAN, so here is a Valve one. Hmmm...

Get it? CRASH course?

...never mind.

And i think its a chopper, not a strider. But a Half-Life themed L4D campaign would be bad-ass.

I can't wait for the 2nd and 3rd campaigns they're releasing in October.
It's quite simple really. I want to be a professional level designer. I want this to be my job.

In case you didn't know, the new campagin is only 2 maps (compared to the stock 5 map campagins), so don't be disapointed when it ends after level 2. :D
