Left 4 Dead 2 Game Add-on #1 Announced

[Mayco]

Dubbed "The Passing," the first game add-on for L4D2 brings the original Left 4 Dead (L4D1) Survivors down south for a meeting with the L4D2 cast, while delivering new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay.

Targeted for release in early spring, "The Passing" takes place just after the Dead Center campaign of L4D2. Set in a small town in rural Georgia, players assume the role of the L4D2 Survivors as they meet with the L4D1 characters.

In addition to the new co-operative campaign and associated narrative, "The Passing" will include new arenas for Survival, Versus and Scavenge mode and introduce a new co-operative challenge mode of play. The Passing will also include a new "uncommon common" zombie class, melee weapon, and firearm.

"The Passing will become the most important campaign in the Left 4 Dead story, as all the Survivors are being called together in one campaign," said Doug Lombardi, VP of marketing at Valve. "It will also be a huge offering of new gameplay content, with something new for every game mode plus a new uncommon common and weaponry."

From the spambot topic:

PRICING?!

I seriously hope they mean that they will announce wether or not it will be priced, or I will kill them with my BEAR HANDS.

Hell, I've read in a french PC magazine, when they tested a preview version of L4D2, that the characters would be inter exchangeable, means you could play with L4D characters, or L4D2 ones, or a mix.When I played the game I was"Wtf?Liars!No L4D character here!" maybe they knew a long time before now that L4D's characters will be in 2

Woah what, 8 player campaign?

Shit feels good.

[Sneed]

Awesome, cant wait to grab some pills for louis

[Darkstar]

Woah what, 8 player campaign?

No.

I think there is 8 player campaign to be honest. It's absolutely possible, seeing as versus it 8 players too.

[Fury]

I just wanna replace Rochelle with Zoey.

Zoey beats Rochelle any day.

[EmRA]

This feels right.

I bet in the campaign they will recognize eachother from the pre-zomb apoc, like this:

Coach: "Nephew!" Louis: "Wha- Uncle Phil!"

Ellis: "I ever tell you about the time I met this biker who said he needed some money for beer, then he showed this cool trick with a knife and I just couldn't not give him some money for that kind of talent, and-" Francis: "Ellis sweetie, can this wait?"

Bill: "Aren't you that soulless hooker from 14th street?" Rochelle: Zoey: "Groovy." Nick: [Hearty Laugh]

Also, I'm REALLY hoping for more beta like survivors, they have been there for quite some time now.

[Ywa]

Coach: "Nephew!" Louis: "Wha- Uncle Phil!"

Lol'd

[Ni pah]

holy shit awesome!

[EmRA]

But if we think seriously, they are gonna be behind doors or something.

"I was with my friends but then tank came. In my haste I forgot the pills."

*on song of chocolate rain* Cholate pillzzz

anyways they'll probably do something really stupid with the old survivors like making them transform or kill them, just to make the community of l4d2 rage and the once for l4d1 ... Idk about them

tbh i dont think 8 player campaign would be too good, i bet it will just be two teams competing to get to the exit first.

[Silver Dot]

Why? It's not like there's 2 teams racing to the exit with 4 player co-op.

[TheGreenGrasshopper]

2 survivor teams running to the exit shooting each other o.0 the infected will be stunned by taht event
