It's The Passing: Left 4 Dead 2 and Left 4 Dead Collide Thursday

[Aurora219]

Wait, what?

I thought the survivors survived because they were immune - how can they become uncommon common?

It's a non-immune survivor (NPC) that gets infected, like the Police/Clowns or CEDA agents.

Oh, right?

...a new "uncommon common" zombie class (the fallen survivor)...

So who's wrong? You or the Funk? Because your version makes more sense.

Yet developers that seem to give a bit more of a shit about their console audience fight that. Bungie insists on getting their maps free, even if it is over time. DICE has vowed to try to get all of the Bad Compnay 2 map packs out for free, as I recall. Even if Microsoft is responsible for the distribution, the developers seem to have a bit of control over the price.

Yeah, I said that.[/quote]

Oh really?

Q: How much is it?

A: In the US, the Heroic Map Pack will cost 800 Microsoft Points. Eventually, these maps will all be released for free, as they were with Halo 2.

Q: Who decides this pricing?

A: Microsoft decided the pricing based on a number of factors. Bungie has no decision making ability in this area.

Got any evidence of your PoV? Given that map updates are not the same as game engine updates.

Edit: From the rumour mill, these maps were released free because they were unpopular, not because Bungie pushed for them to be released.

We're both right, so I believe. The "uncommon common" includes the Clowns/Police/CEDA and Fallen Survivor. Survivors is just a word for people who have been holding out against the Apocalypse.

as VALVe has shown themselves as PC elitists many times before.

Any evidence for us? And are we including Macs along with PCs now? Man...that's quite a teamup.

They're trying to build bridges now, but they still make it quite clear that PC is their primary focus.

Well, Media Molecule have the PS3 as their primary focus, but I don't think that means they're PS3 elitists?

This news topic might have caught my attention, but I am not willing to join the hardcore L4D players in this new add-on. I am not going to be able to play the original Left 4 Dead, because there already is a sequel that I am (still) not willing to buy... Even though, I was playing the original a lot when it was still new... However, it is surprising that Valve kept their promise and still update the original!

Anyways, have fun guys!

 

[The Great JT]

Kill all sunsa'bitches.

Now with new allies!

 

[Comma-Kazie]

I was beginning to wonder if Valve WAS going to release it this this year. Nice to see that they do believe in deadlines after all.

 

[JWW]

*must avoid Episode 3 joke* This will be epic.

Stupid PC Elitism. I've got nothing against PC users, but I really don't understand why some of them seem to hate Consoles so much...

Anyway I'll just wait for the $30.00 Game of the Year edition on consoles that will include the DLC.

Well, for starters there is the shit Ubisoft is pulling on us, we will never get Gears of War 2, people make shitty ports for PC, Modern Warfare sans Dedicated servers.

All the while consoles get a nice ride. Yeah, we have a couple justifiable reasons.

I feel the pain of those who has exams and finals coinciding with this release. I made the mistake of playing Portal the first time on a night before a 12 hour work shift. Of course I couldn't put it down until the end, which left me almost two hours sleep. That sucked.
Glad I gots lots of free time coming this weekend!

A little quick primer for you and everyone else on a torch riot to Valve. It is Microsoft stamping on the bill for XBox DLC. If Valve had its choice it would be free for the 360 as well. Do us all a favor and spread the word about this. Please.

Christ I get it already, I've heard it three times now. Microsoft is responsible, blah blah, still getting G.O.T.Y. when it comes out.

If its Bill I'm going to RAGE because he is my favorite character! It could only be worse if he got a crappy death.

But baised on Bill character, I think he'd get a good death if it was him.

 

[DTWolfwood]

Oye i want to play Chainsaw Massacre all the time! not just for a limited time >.<

 

[Urgh76]

Is there anyone here who doesn't want Ellis to die? God i hate that redneck

 

[chstens]

Ah, Valve. Gotta love their PC elitism.

I don't have money for Microsoft points. I'm gonna go rage now.

For the record, Valve have campaigned to make their DLC free on Xbox as well, it's just that Microsoft doesn't want it.

Ellis is a charming, lovable litte guy.

 

[Jaranja]

One of the greatest words ever.....

FREE

God I love my PC all the more now.

Cheaper games and free DLC, what more could you want?

 

[iLikeHippos]

Awesome neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeews indeed. I'll be buying points today or tomorrow, I believe.

PS: It's Bill. To think we lost Bill as voice actor, they will probably cut him short early.
I wouldn't want to hear anyone else attempt his voice acting anyways.

 

[Bob_F_It]

What I am doing this weekend? Finishing my desktop so I can play this =/

I'm pretty sure it is not Bill.

If you look at the picture, you can make out that in the background , the person on the right is Bill.
And looks like Francis and Louis made it too.
God i hope Zoey isn't the one left behind (as a corpse). The only female in the group dead, that would be quite sad...
however, it is just a picture! So who knows?
