August 4, 2009 - 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 the next major downloadable content (DLC) update for its co-operative zombie thriller, Left 4 Dead (L4D), the #1 new game title on Xbox 360 and PC in 2008

Entitled "Crash Course," the latest DLC delivers new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay to both platforms. Targeted for release in September, "Crash Course" bridges the gap between the end of the "No Mercy" campaign and the beginning of "Death Toll" in the original game, expanding the game universe with new locations, new dialogue from the original cast, and an explosive finale

While containing both Survival maps and a Co-operative Campaign, the primary goal of "Crash" 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.

"Since the release of Left 4 Dead last November, the design team has been excited about creating new experiences for this world and allowing players to do the same, by releasing much of our internal toolset, like the Survival Pack and Authoring Tools," said Gabe Newell. "We're working with the fans toward the ongoing entertainment value of the product."

Left 4 Dead is an action horror game from Valve that blends the social entertainment experience of multiplayer games such as Counter-Strike and Team Fortress with the dramatic, narrative experience made popular in single player action game classics such as the Half-Life series of games. Released in November of 2008, L4D has earned over 50 industry awards from outlets around the world and sold almost 3 million copies worldwide.

Left 4 Dead: Crash Course is targeted for release in September and will be available free of charge on the PC and for 560 Gamer points on Xbox Live.

560 Gamer points? Does that mean Gamerscore or Microsoft points?

It's not Valve's fault that DLC costs $$$, you can blame microsoft for CHARGING money to get the DLC.
Want to know what else is crazy? I doubt valve gets any money of that 7$

You don't buy DLC with Gamer Points, you need Microsoft points.


I also find it funny how PC get most of their DLC for free, unless it's a live game of course.

You don't pay with Gamerscore, the points you collect while getting acheivements. You pay with microsoft points, which you buy directly (via card) or online with a credit card.

Thats because Xbox is pretty messed up, where just to be online you have to pay a monthly fee. Its not worth the money and its more fun on the PC anyway.

okay 1. im not a fanboy. i anticipated left 4 dead for a long time and even beta tested it for a short period of time so no im not a fanboy i supported the game. and as for microsoft. Microsoft is the biggest scam system ever. why do you think it had a...54% failure rate i believe? and i think it possibly went up?

2. No shit dumbass i know its on the Pc i have it uninstalled on steam. I filmed left 4 dead and made parodies on how bad the game is. Im not the only person who says its fun for a month then it gets boring.

3. The new l4d campaign is finally coming out 2 months before L4D2's release. The sdk came out i believe in april maybe may? They took there sweet as time with the SDK AFTER they said they would release it with the final product which i believe was postponed from november 17th to i believe the 21st of last year. and now they are release a new game that should be DLC because look at all the petitions on steam community about people disagreeing with the game and everything? im not the only one sir.

4. If your going to criticize someone at least get your facts straight because YOU will look like the douche bag. Douche bag.

1. Microsoft made PC's too so I guess without them, your stuck buying it for, oh wait, NOTHING, cause valve only did it for 360 and PC.

2. Nobody gives a shit if you don't like it, how about posting about the campaign instead of going "HURF DURF, L4D SUX LOL"

3. Ironically enough, Gabe invited the creator and the co-creator for the boycott group to valve to come play L4D2, and they FUCKING LOVED IT. Yes you are going to have to pay another 50 dollars to get it, but this is pretty much what left4dead was supposed to be back in November. All those petition writing brats, are a bunch of whiny morons, and if you agree with them you are, A. too poor to spend $50 dollars on a great game, B. A whiny moron, C. a moron, D. all of the above.

4. Irony is a word that best describes your statements, and calling someone a douchebag that is right makes you look like an idiot, douchebag, and an asshole.

God I miss neg rep.
