L4D 2 Community Votes for Permanent Mutation

[Blink]

Valve have recently announced that due to overwhelming popularity, the Realism Versus mutation will become a new game mode:

Valve today announced that nearly a half million members of the Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2) community have voted to add a permanent new Mutation (aka game mode) to L4D2; Realism Versus. Realism Versus combines the rules of Versus and Realism Modes to create a Versus game that requires the best in Survivor teamwork.

With the release of the DLC "The Passing" last month, L4D2 has seen weekly new Mutations released every Friday. The excitement and response to Realism Versus was so overwhelming a Poll was added for the in-game blog which simply asked: "Should the Mutation be permanent?"

This week's Mutation is "Follow the Liter." The rules of Scavenge have changed. Only one group of cans spawn at a time, so survivors know exactly where to go. There is only one problem; the Infected know exactly where they are going.

The weekly Mutations are available to all owners of Left 4 Dead 2's "The Passing" DLC, available on PC and Xbox 360.

Have you guys tried it? Should it be a new game mode?

I've played all 3 mutations so far and I 've gotta say that realism versus was the most enjoyable so far.

Played it, it was awesome. Your team HAD to stick together and constantly tell where you are, and sometimes play a little marco polo. It was great, how versus should be.

my friend owns a server with realism versus plugin..
it is so much fun.. normal vs just sucks now

It's how versus was always meant to be played. Otherwise it's just too easy for the humans.

I wanted to see more improvements to realism mode itself.

Namely, distance-based microphone volume, so when you get lost... YOU ARE LOST.

That said I haven't even tried the passing yet :<.... I should probably do that.
