Left 4 Dead 2 Expansion / $20 sale until Monday (26 April)

First Left 4 Dead 2 expansion should be out this week

Valve has been teasing the first piece of downloadable content for Left 4 Dead 2 since December, but it looks like we're finally reaching the end of the tunnel. The latest update on the Left 4 dead 2 blog drops a pretty obvious hint about the DLC's release date:

So enough worlds colliding, when is "The Passing" coming out? Well... if it was coming out next week we would say right here - Left 4 Dead 2's The Passing is coming out next week and we will be updating the blog next week with more news on the release. There you go.​

According to Shacknews, the Xbox 360 version of The Passing will cost 560 Microsoft points ($7 in real money), but Valve has yet to reveal how much (if anything) it will charge for the PC release. Downloadable content for the PC version of the original Left 4 Dead was always free of charge, though.
As we've now known for some time, this upcoming expansion will take place after Left 4 Dead 2's Dead Center campaign, and it will feature characters from both the first game and the sequel killing zombies in a "small town in rural Georgia." Players can also look forward to new game modes, a golf club, an M60 machine gun, a "Wicked Witch Bride," and more.

It's going live tomorrow, supposedly.

L4D2 isn't really on my radar currently though. I'll play w/ you if you want though - if you see me hit me up.

It's out.

... and it crashes with the GTX 4xx series (lulz) and reportedly other cards too. "Workaround" is to set shaders to medium - yeah - fuck that.

Personally, I'm waiting for a proper fix for this BS.

I'm SO disappointed with the developers for Left 4 Dead 2. There is STILL some glaring shit that needs to be fixed/improved on the game and nothing's been done about it for 6 months now.

I wish they'd switch the TF2 dev team with the L4D2 dev team for a year. L4D1/2 would become fucking ace.

Also, there's a sale on L4D2 until Monday for $20, which imo is a VERY respectable price for the game.

It's lots of fun with friends.

If you buy it and need ppl to play with, hit me up over the weekend - assuming Valve releases a patch for the crash outlined above some time tomorrow.
