Looks like a fun-packed update, it'll probably even get me back into playing L4D :D.

Loved Survival mode. We made it to 8 minutes 40 best on the crane one?

I will add the 360 version is total shite, get a PC and play the mans machine

Me Trigger Zealous and DE just had a few games, we got about 5 minutes on No Mercy stage 1, and were so close to Silver medal on the new Lighthouse map. So far I think it's awesome, I don't know why Snerfs hates it so much, it brings a totally new game mode and you don't even have to play it if you don't want to...

I'm just giving my opinion out :)

and I do have a PC which can hold it, I just decide not to play L4D on PC as I prefer it to the 360. /flame on for that, I know... DUH. But ye, real let down, was expecting a lot better to come from Valve on that rather than just adding a timer to the top of a screen and adding a map (which may I add is VERY small). A Real Shame.

There is a difference... in 360, pretty much all the mobs are weaker, so survival won't mean much to a well camp'd team crouching with rifles, and there's no real sense of teamwork (I've played the 360 version, for the record.)

L4D with PC gamers, particularally the ATK lot, is a hell of a lot more fun than a bunch of random yanks on a system with all the control of a drunk chipmunk in an SUV.

For the record, i've played the PC version and really didn't like it, plus most people I know play it on 360. Either way, stupid game, lmfao, FLAME ON!!!

im kiddings obvs, but there could be some improvements on this new pack.
