Left 4 Dead is a game that is not being supported with new DLC which is why people are angry. With that in mind, Left 4 Dead's new DLC support appears to be heading our way a little later this month, with Valve Tweeting that September 23 has been penciled in as the release date.
Valve's news comes via Xbox.com, which is advertising one of Microsoft's "Game with Fame" promotions where players can go up against a band I've never heard of, Paramore, in a round of Crash Course on September 23. So, even though Valve says that there's "no guarantee" that this is the real date, Microsoft seems rather certain.
Having played Crash Course, I can confirm that it's a very good campaign and well worth checking out. Of course, those with Xbox Live have to bloody pay for the thing (even though we're already subscribing to Live), so maybe this is only news that PC gamers can get truly excited for.
[Reader Bluewolf72 points out that the Valve Twitter feed is an unofficial account. They merely via'd the news from Xbox Live. Thanks for heads up!]

LOLWUT?
Excuse me while I bleach my ears to rid myself Hayley Williams' strong but passionless voice.
That's the most delicious nonsensical mash-up since Obama/Biden!
And Stevil, her voice is far from passionless.
lol.
Or, if you're talking about the "ValveNews" account, it's not actually valve.
But still. Screw Microsoft. I AM NOT PAYING for something that should be free. If I do anything, its gonna be buying the PC version of the game
me <3 you long time Valve
There are other members?
sure I wish it would be free, but if it has to be charged, it's not exactly breaking the rulls.
Well, it's only 560 MS Banana Dollars, so you're really not spending a whole lot if you get both. I know that I am.
Glad to hear about the L4D DLC though.
Also, Paramore isn't THAT bad. They're nothing special, but they are purely inoffensive pop-rock that's fun to listen to once in a blue moon.
As for L4D DLC, yay! Can't wait for that free Steam update... this game rocks.
I also suggest the "Heaven Can Wait" campaign... it is very good.
I also don't own an XBox. But he does, so maybe he can go play this DLC with Paramore like some sort of XBox owning Paramore loving DLC buying monkey.
I'll just play it for free on Steam like some sort of free stuff loving, PC-playing Paramore indifferent monkey.
