Left 4 Dead DLC
Ready for more zombie-blasting action? Valve has announced details on their Left 4 Dead DLC. The Survival Pack will include versus mode for Death Toll and Dead Air as well as a new mode called Survival. There aren’t too many details about the new game mode, but according to this article, it’s supposed to play similar to the Nazi Zombie mode in Call of Duty: World at War. The articles also states that it can be played on 12 of the existing maps. Which maps? Let the speculation begin. I can think of several areas where it would be possible to make a stand with your team. The finale houses at the end of Death Toll and Blood Harvest immediately come to mind. But there’s also some of those mid-point structures found in the other levels (like houses and churches) that could serve as decent mini-forts. So what will all this cost? Not a dime. Valve is providing this add-on free of charge to all Xbox 360 and PC owners of the game. No definitive word on a release date other than sometime this Spring. A Critic’s Choice Edition of the game will also release this Spring, containing the new modes.
On a side note, head over to the game’s site to read a couple of interesting blog entries on the creation of the game’s filmic effects and lighting. Very interesting.
