    Free on the PC, woop. Aside from an obviously new map they added some weird modes.

    No clue how to get it. I'm sure Valve will make it apparent when it's actually released, probably later today.

    But it looks awesome :)

    They're supposed to release it at noon PDT, but it is valve and they have their own "time". You will probably have to restart steam to get it d/ling after they push it out.

    fallen survivors dropping stuff is great on expert realism, running after him to kill him but trying not to go out of view of ur buddies, top job !

    i think it was pretty good.
    i don't see why Bill had to die, but i guess l4d isn't much about the storyline.

    think about the hard work developers put into this package for us, and for completely free too!

    learn to have some appreciation..
    saying that was boring is one opinion, mocking them like you are is another.
    and how do you have over a thousand posts only in two months?
    you must work really really hard for that too

    Oh you mean like how Valve mocked L4D owners when they released the DLC they promised as a fully-priced incompatible sequel?

    I thought the story was really out there. Nothing was explain very well at all. The L4D1 crew was creepy emotionless etc and the story with Bill in game was never explained as well as why zombies would climb after me and not them. What was weirder was that I got the ending where Zoey goes "You think they're going to the mall?" That just geographically confuses me. Wasn't L4D1 in the north going south, so why would they go back?....

    I thought they were in Philidelphia and moving to where ever.

    In any case, I hope the Left 4 Dead DLC explains it better.
