New L4D DLC announced for September release.

From IGN ( Full Article Here ):

Quote:...Chet also discussed the new add-on that was recently announced for the original Left 4 Dead. Crash Course is a two-map campaign designed mainly for Versus mode, though it supports all other modes. The idea is to create a streamlined Versus experience that runs about 30 minutes; currently, battling through a Versus campaign fully will about an hour or longer. Crash Course takes its name from the fact that it begins with a helicopter crash. Yes, it's the helicopter you boarded at the end of No Mercy. It turns out the pilot was infected and turning into a zombie, so the helicopter ride ends quickly as the craft crashes into the street.

There are numerous improvements to Versus mode in Crash Course, such as having all weapons and items spawn in the same spots for each team to level the playing field; currently, one team might get a lot of goodies while they play as humans, but when the teams switch sides the second team doesn't get those items, which means that the first team got an unfair advantage. Another detail we couldn't help but notice is the existence of some kind of howitzer on the level, which you can use to devastating effect. Chet reiterated that the add-on is free on the PC and available for a small fee (approximately $7) on the Xbox 360.

Bit pissed off that it will be free for PC but at a cost on XBL but I suppose that is the nature of the beast.



L4D 2 is due for release Nov. 17th and I am taking names now for a match-up on that day.
