let's hope it actually comes out when they say... Valve is sooo notorious about this... just look at how long it took 'em to get the Half Life 2 episodes out... and the 360 version of TF2 still hasn't been updated, despite promises to the contrary....

don't get me wrong, i love Valve, but they seem to suffer from some sort of time dilation or something...
They just operate on Valve Time [http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time].

that's fucking awesome... and a bit scary because it's all true...

EDIT: so if i read that chart correctly, "this spring" actually means next fall...?

Swell, so I guess I'll just put in my two weeks at work so I can free up some more zombie-killing time.

Since I'm getting a new computer soon, I'll just have to pick up L4D again, is it strange to own the same game for both the PC and xbox, maybe I could trade in L4d for the computer version.

Onto survival mode, will it have a timer or will it keep going until every survivor is dead?
Get the computer version. Less annoying noobs with high-pitched voices. I have PC, I almost never have them, my friend has 360, and he is plagued with them.
I'd have to agree on this: ok, there are idiots in the game, but everyone I've heard on voice chat has been a good, mature player, and I've actually been using voice chat usage as an indication of player quality at times ;)

And anyway, this sounds good: given Valve's track record, I don't think PC owners will have to pay for it: I think it's Microsoft's decision to make Xbox owners pay, not Valve's.

Their promise to update it, from what I recall, will be after they've done all the class packs. So don't expect it within the next six months at least. xD

On L4D, I seriously do hope this will be a free update for us PC users at least. Having to pay more for an already expensive game (In relation of price to actual length) would turn me away from it a bit... Although I love L4D enough to purchase such an expansion...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I think Survival mode will be a simple see-how-long-you-last-against-waves-of-zombies mode. But it'll still be awesome.

Funny thing is, I reckon Survival mode will be very similar to Call of Duty: World at War's hidden game, which in turn took a lot of ideas out of Left 4 Dead with the whole four player survival, revive your fallen teammates gameplay, shooting with pistol while down thing. Just this will have boss zombies. And more zombies in general.

just yesterday I was saying
"Left 4 dead needs a Survival mode,nothing but a constant stream of the horde"
this escalated into thoughts on how it would work,we came up many ideas including a narrow hall(like at up the stairs on the last part of No mercy to a sort of king of hill style of play.

at any rate good to see more campaigns,I think they relied on the AI director a bit too heavily to prevent loss of replayabilty.

I still haven't bought Left 4 Dead.
Sinply because I conciderin it to be wau too expensive for a game whose main portion is based on multiplayer.

The game is 50 friggin Euros on STEAM which to me is unaccetpable for a game where all the levels it can throw at us can be beaten in less than 3-4 hours.

Once the game drops in price I might concider it.

There's a Custom mode called "Mega Horde Mode" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eyDBgy0fCA] where all you do is fight -literally- hundreds of zombies on the screen at once.

]Expansion Pack...that means we have to buy it?!
That's not a Valve move at all.

Please be free...please.
Its not a expansion its DLC PC users will get it free considering Valves policy till now of giving DLC free for PC. 360 users will probably play.

If you read again what will come out and that PC users need to pay is a new version of the game, wich is L4D+Survival pack will prolly cost the same as the simple L4D and for PC users theres no logic buying the Critic Game Choise(or whatever its called) version if the DLC is free. So i guess it will be aimed at the 360 new players. Again you will only need to buy this new L4D version if you dont have L4D.

Edit: On Steam news it says very well "First DLC-Survival Pack-" and the only thing Valve is saying that will cost money is the Left 4 Dead Critics Choise Game Edition and if you have the original L4D you dont need to buy. So to OP its better to rephrase the post or add the link from Steam's website:

Curses to the 360 not getting a map maker, but nevermind L4D is an instant classic in my opinion, and giving just a bit more of it gets me excited. Survival sounds good though, hope they add some more achievements!

Am I the only one who is a bit disappointed with this? Allow me to rephrase that a bit. Am I the only 360 owner who is a bit disappointed by this? OK I am not at all frustrated by the mod thing for the pc since that is a perk for almost any pc game. I was just hoping for a new map or sumthing. A new mode with no info is hardly something to get excited about. And being able to play all the maps in vs should have come right out of the box.

L4D SDK... Custom campaigns...

*Goes in the corner and starts squealing*
There'd better be some L4D content in Garry's Mod too....

I cannot wait.
