I just had a nice little detour to that wiki for "The Long Walk" - pretty cool stuff.
Whoa, only averaging two and a half minutes on each level in survival mode? I figured it would be hardcore, but that's pretty rough. I'm a little rusty, too.
I heard something about the melee being revamped, where there's a cooldown period that keeps people from hiding in a corner and using melee nonstop. Was that included with this update?

Yes it is. At least it is in survival mode. I didn't play through Versus or any campaign modes to find out if it's there too. It's not that bad, it just adds a 1 second delay to the melee command.
Also, The Long Walk is a badass story. It's been rumored to be in development for a filmed version, but I really don't know how you can make it compelling on film, especially given the ambiguous ending.

I'm jealous. I seriously want to download this right now and play. I am looking forward to the raping! But alas, I have to study for stupid finals so the raping will have to wait. Damn. :(
Gah, it's still not out on PC yet. Jealous. As for The Long Walk, I think a movie version could be perfectly fine. King's stuff is generally well suited for film, and this one could be done for pretty cheap as it would mostly just be kids talking and, um, walking.
I too just spent a good 15 minutes looking at "The Long Walk" . And as with all Wikis, that lead me to the Randall Flagg wiki. Damn wikipedia.
The highest I've gotten is 2:50 so far. I joined a team who had a best of 5 minutes, but not while I was there. I agree this is rape mode. A few times on LAst Stand, the first enemy to spawn was a smoker who jerked teammates to the ground from the top, which lead to their immediate death. I have yet to get to use a health pack, as I am too swarmed to get a chance. This mode is going to take a really tight strategy to get good times. Again, it should now be referred to as "rape mode".

@Fyodor
Yeah,
That would be about it though.
Kids. Walking. Talking. There's a lot of psychological mind games going on with the characters though, and it's always VERY hard to show this kinda stuff on film. I'm sure they could highlight the whole drama of what's going on when walkers get ticketed, but it's going to be only a portion of the total experience you get from the actual story.

NICE...

When I saw that graph that was posted on spawn times I thought they had gone totally overboard, spawn tanks every 5 seconds after a few minutes. I wouldn't be surprised if they toned it down a bit in the future.
I thought it'd be far more fun with a gentler difficulty curve, given the time it takes to get into a decent game I can't see myself playing this very much if rounds only last a few minutes.
My thoughts on the DLC itself? Why is the DLC available on a console, whose certification proces is known to be several weeks long than their own goddamn distribution platform. Raaaaaaage!

I love The Long Walk, one of my favorite King stories. And the film version is not just rumored, Frank Darabont has confirmed that it's his next project after he finishes his Fahrenheit 451 remake.
I disagree , I use shotties all the time on Survival and my average survival time is 8 minutes (with randoms on Steam) ...
