L4D DLC -CRASH COURSE-

Crash Course Campaign Due in September

August 4, 2009 - Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress, and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced the next major downloadable content (DLC) update for its co-operative zombie thriller, Left 4 Dead (L4D), the #1 new game title on Xbox 360 and PC in 2008

Entitled "Crash Course," the latest DLC delivers new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay to both platforms. Targeted for release in September, "Crash Course" bridges the gap between the end of the "No Mercy" campaign and the beginning of "Death Toll" in the original game, expanding the game universe with new locations, new dialogue from the original cast, and an explosive finale

While containing both Survival maps and a Co-operative Campaign, the primary goal of "Crash" is to deliver a complete Versus mode experience in just 30 minutes, resulting in a streamlined version of the game's existing Versus campaigns. A recharge timer for infected teammates has also been added, and item spawn behavior has changed for more balanced gameplay.

"Since the release of Left 4 Dead last November, the design team has been excited about creating new experiences for this world and allowing players to do the same, by releasing much of our internal toolset, like the Survival Pack and Authoring Tools," said Gabe Newell. "We're working with the fans toward the ongoing entertainment value of the product."

Left 4 Dead is an action horror game from Valve that blends the social entertainment experience of multiplayer games such as Counter-Strike and Team Fortress with the dramatic, narrative experience made popular in single player action game classics such as the Half-Life series of games. Released in November of 2008, L4D has earned over 50 industry awards from outlets around the world and sold almost 3 million copies worldwide.

Left 4 Dead: Crash Course is targeted for release in September and will be available free of charge on the PC and for 560 Gamer points on Xbox Live.

about freaking time...and we already had a countdown for zombie teammates.

wait...if it starts where no mercy ended...DO WE GET TO SHOOT ZOMBIES FROM A HELICOPTER! they better do something cool like the pilot suddenly turns into a zombie and u get to crash or something...

Well, it should be half as long...so maybe 3 parts to the campaign.

Helicopter wouldn't work unless it's close to the ground, as the main point of the campaign is versus.

Plus boomer would suck.

anyhow, still excited.

Crash Course is set shortly after the events of No Mercy, where it's revealed that the helicopter pilot who rescued Bill, Zoey, Louis and Francis was actually infected. The other survivors blame Zoey for crashing the chopper, since she's the one who ended up shooting the pilot. A whole bunch of new dialog has been recorded for the game, and there are one or two extra surprises in store for those who are used to how Left 4 Dead works.

...me 1 u zero cough cough... kinda sad that it was predictable. that plane better crash somehow....

it does crash
tats why its called crash course

no...i know they are gona fuck it up, its gona like hit a tree or something i want a HUGE explosion...and u start out with half ur health, lol and louis gets his legs cut off so they leave him and as they leave he calls them racist and yells as a hunter pounces him

its not gonna be a huge explosion or else they'll die
unless u get to jump off with a parachute

it's not going to be a huge explosion without Michael Bay... nuf said...

Well, obviously the will ride the helicopter, but I'm pretty sure you cant play in it, just an intro movie.

Somehow they wont land it...and will fail.

excited though...

Michael bay can suck it, unless he is with megan fox, than i shoot him yelling "zombie" and than make a witty remark that the humman population must be re-populated and get rejected by megan

w/e, large explosion or not, they had more time to work on this one...i think so it better be better than the other ones.

"DID YOU KNOW": Megan Fox's audition into Transformers required her to wash Michael Bay's car?

yes and where is the tape?

wondering that too

wow....he must be a jackass in real life... lol "Ive been in so many movies and im very posative and id love to work with you" him: "yeah yeah, w/e, listen can u wash my car while wearing the sluttiest clothes you have?" "um...sure?"

if tat is true then megan fox is really desperate

well the only other movie ive ever heard of her being in is bad boys 2....so i guess the girl needed work... i could have given her some work....

1. she was in bad boys 2?
