Left 4 Dead update adds Achievements, improved HUD photo

Valve is continuing to not-support Left 4 Dead with a not-supportive patch that is not-adding Achievements and a not-improved HUD. Oh Valve, why won't you support the original Left 4 Dead, you greedy, lazy people!?

The patch adds ten new Achievements to the Xbox 360 version of the game, along with HUD improvements that add a specialzied attack timer to each member of the Special Infected team. This means that Infected players know when each of their comrades have shot their load. It's believed that the new patch has been released to coincide with the expected Crash Course launch tomorrow.

So unsupportive.

Those fuckers!
I'm boycotting Left 4 Dead 1 now since they broke their broken promise to support it with DLC!

"So unsupportive."
Broken promises like broken push up bra's

Why are they not adding more achievements?

Nice. I wish more people added Achievements to their games after a while.

I'm looking at you Harmonix.

Couldn't you have added some details regarding the achievements? I don't want to read a story only to go to another source to check the details. I'm not expecting you to list off each individual achievement but at least an inkling as to what they might be; or, if you don't have information on them at least state so.

Sorry to rag on the article, but it seemed like bashing the boycott came first rather than the information implied in the title. By the way, I don't support the boycott and think it's extremely idiotic.

I lost my interest in this when MS thought it was cool to put a price on this.

Yeah the patch seems to have borked my achievements. Ingame it says I have earned 0/60. In the dash it says 44/50.

Those jerks.

Still sucks that there's a price tag involved. Although Valve does make PC games, first and foremost. And Microsoft likes money.

I'm guessing that the in-game achievement problem will be fixed when Crash Course comes out. At least...I hope it does.

This might be the only time I welcome new Achievements. Any idea what they are?

Last night L4D thought I only had like 13 achievements but on my gamertag it showed all of the one's I've got. It was weird. Probably had to do with the update last night.

Hopefully the new achievements aren't all Crash Course-related. I would love to get the survival achievements that the PC version has.
