Left 4 Dead 'Survival Pack' hits Xbox LIVE and PC very soon photo

You’re ready to pop in that Left 4 Dead disc again, right? Well, tomorrow seems like the perfect time. Valve’s first bit of downloadable content for L4D, the “Survival Pack” will hit Xbox LIVE at “roughly 2 A.M. PST” this April 21.

The PC version of the downloadable content is slated to hit “later in the day” according to a Valve press release sent out this afternoon.

“Survival Pack” is free and will probably rock. It’s packing two new campaigns for Versus Mode and a new game mode called Survival Mode -- a no holds barred zombie fragfest, that basically resembles the Finale portion of the Campaign Mode. A recent post on the official L4D blog by Kerry Davis and Scott Dalton indicated that Survival is anything but a peaceful romp. “Given the extreme pace of Survival Mode, the number of zombies killed in a single round often outnumbers an entire campaign.” Excuse me, I just crapped my pants.

Did I mention it’s free? Yeah, it’s free.

I wish Valve didn't start their work day so damned late. PC will probably get this around 4p.m. EST. 2p.m. at earliest.

If valve was a chick, I'd casually wine and dine her and then slip it in before I dropped her off around the corner from house.

Like a boss.

I knew it was free. I sorta guessed it was. Who posts mandatory updates that aren't?

Radical, I thought this wouldn't be until Friday. Since there are apparently way more zombies in survival mode, maybe I'll be able to inch my way closer to the Zombie Genocidest achievement. I'm getting fucking NOWHERE with that.
