Rumor: Two L4D2 expansions named via PC demo photo

Some Left 4 Dead 2 demo code diggers may have stumbled upon the name of two downloadable expansions for Valve’s upcoming ZFPS.

Tucked in the demo code are a couple of illuminating messages used after the game boots people out of online matches for not having required content. As such, the two messages name the two bits of content needed to in order to play -- the “Miracle Pack” and the “Apocalyptic Pack” -- and even advise that the person download the vital expansions from Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

"You were kicked from the lobby because downloadable content was selected.\n," one of the two messages reads, according to a post on the Rage3D message board.

We’ve no doubt Valve plans to support L4D2 with downloadable content, but we can’t confirm at this time that (1) these files exist and (2) if these are indeed the real names of any unannounced bits of DLC. Chances are we won’t know until after the game launches, but then again, we’ve received DLC news before game has hit retail in the recent past. We'll let you know when we know.

You guys need to mention how L4D1 players are showing up in the L4D2 "online Friends" field. Cross play confirmed?

ZFPS? I think we should go with FUPS. First Undead Person Shooter for those who just got out of bed.
I loves me my FUPS!

@ TheTruth,

Undead Person? Nobody calls them that.. they're just undead. FUS, would be what you have to call it. That's what my 11 month old does. fuss's.

ZFPS sounds like leet speak though.

hmm..

If they suppport this one more than the original, as in small little updates to keep the community jazzed similar to TF2, then I will be a happy man.

I thought Left 4 Dead's support was fine, survivor mode was cool, Crash Course was fun and the mod tools were great, but I would like to see new weapons, new survivor maps and new characters even as smaller little content releases, free for PC of course.

This sounds more like that, so I am hopeful.

Valve also has a history of putting made up shit into the source code as a joke. They do it on an almost bi-weekly basis with TF2.

Wait... you mean L4D3 isn't coming out in January? With all new characters, maps, and guns? Lame.

"You were kicked from the lobby because downloadable content was selected.\n,"

That's worrying. If that file isn't a leftover from the 360 version, it suggests that L4D2 DLC isn't an update, it's an optional DLC, hinting at paid DLC...
