Slight possibilty that this will be made live in 2 hours. Valve was uploading something to the content servers a few hours ago and probably was the update.

Whaaaaat? I think the odds of Valve being early on something are as close to zero as one can get.

 

[MjFrancis]

Since there's a lot of 360 and PC players here (official topic is almost 100% PC) I thought this might be a good place to ask- I heard the 360 version, at least for L4D1, was altered to have a slightly easier difficulty due to the lack of precision of a gamepad, in the form that zombies would mostly attack your front side, whereas in the PC version they'll circle around you. Can anyone who has played both confirm/deny this?

On the console, zombie AI seemed to keep them from ever completely surrounding me. They could attack from the front, left and right, but they always left an opening in the back.

You're crazy. This'll be late like every Valve release.

 

[HK-47]

Maybe the fabled Anti-Valve Time does exist!

 

[GotchaForce]

Maybe AI Infected bots could mean I could maybe get into a match. Like for one time since I got the game (360) when it came out:/

AI bots have been in for over a month, did they not patch that to the 360 yet?

 

[Nabs]

hey guys, lets not go down this road again. 360ers will get this at 5am, and we'll probably get it in 24hrs.

 

[CadetMahoney]

Sucks for 360 Owners. Just goes to show how much microsoft owns your ass on that console.

It's better to get the damn thing at least than to port beg Valve all the time heh.

You gotta be kidding me.

Hmm.

 

[Shambles]

Perhaps they'll bother updating their L4D servers so us pricks who didn't care for rebuying the game in l4d2 will have decent servers to use again. Or they could at least officially announce they've shut down their L4D1 stuff.

 

[RustyNails]

I got a final tomorrow, so I wont get to play it till after 3PM either way. Works for me

Considering they've already announced more L4D1 DLC..........uh........yeah.

Believe. Valve time might not occur this one time ;p

If true. That sucks = (.

 

[GoldandBlue]

I can't imagine PC players having to wait too long. They did mention the hours that some of the developers will be playing The Passing in their blog:

To celebrate the launch of "The Passing" DLC this Thursday Valve employees will be playing on the PC between 11am-5pm PDT and then on the 360 from 7pm-11pm PDT using special accounts.

So if this is the case, we should be getting it before 11AM PDT.

I was going by the recent Kotaku article.

Maybe Kotaku was pulling our leg again.

Actually, Kotaku fell for Valves little changing poster. :lol The poster changes when you refresh and a different character will go missing.

Kotaku was pulling your leg again.

Each time you refreshed the page, the poster changed, showing a different survivor missing.

 

[Mudkips]

Hmmm. Why don't they all just stick? They better all become available at some point.

Because there would be at least 20 new game modes to choose from, and it would basically be impossible to play on anything but the most popular ones.

A limited time deal will get enough people to play it that you can get into matches without destroying the regular game modes.

I hope Francis or Louis or Rochelle (I can hope!) dies, or it's not constant (any one of the four can die).

If you take away my Bill or my Zoey, I will rage so hard.

So. Hard.

Where the fuck is the passing?!

Valve Time.

 

[duckroll]

Where the fuck is the passing?!

 

[Arucardo]

This is exactly what I need to get back to L4D2, I think I haven't even touched it this year...

 

[HK-47]

I wish is was gonna be Zoey. All the nerds would rage so hard.

 

[LM4sure]

I'm hoping I left Steam open on my computer so when I get home late tonight it'll be ready to go! Although the download can't be too large I wouldn't think.

 

[Jeff Stephen]

Surprise us and do away with Ro.

248MB on the 360. PC probably double that. Shouldn't take long.

Ro is the one character everyone wants gone which is precisely why I play her. Now I hope Ro kills Zoey. That would be even better. Get lots of retarded Youtube commets from that.

Still not out yet? lol valve employees enjoying The Passing while everyone else raging.

To aide us Euros I've created a EuroGAF steam group for finding fellow european gaffers to play L4D2 (or any other steam game for that matter).

Nope, it's definitely

Spoiler

Bill. You can see his body on the ground level in the generator room. He's hunched over holding his rifle. There should be a bullet in his head, but there ain't.

 

[How About No]

Wait there's Kotaku articles on Steam for headlines? WTF.

No, it's a regular, uninfected corpse with a weapon in its arms. Went out peacefully.

Way to go Valve!

And now my control panel and profile pages are blank...

WTF

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

It should not be showing up as headlines, but Kotaku does have a newsfeed through Steam. Kotaku; Rock, Paper, Shotgun; PC Gamer, and Shacknews all have news feeds through Steam now. It was something that was added to the beta.

 

[xero273]

yea, couple weeks ago, kotaku got a news feed in steam.

[ahoyhoy]

For people who've played it:

Spoiler

why do you think they decided to kill off Bill? Did they want to dispel any notions we have of playing as the L4D1 crew again by killing one of them off, or was there a problem with Bill's voice actor or whatever that made using him impossible? If they wanted to kill someone off so badly, why didn't they make it random like the rotating poster images?

 

[DisenLedZep]

They are already late... the DLC was supposed to launch late March... Valve Time applies perfectly in this situation.

 

[How About No]

Huh. I was thinking the articles I read were biased against the 360...

 

[ArjanN]

I like how nobody ever leans anything from every previous Valve release ever, and expects them to be on time. Just chill out and play something else for now.
