      Tuesday, September 29 can't come soon enough for me!

      But no, I'm still coming in to work... although I might come to work extra early and leave a little early on that day.

      It would be a waste because knowing Valve it won't be up until 6pm.

      isn't the new campaign only 2 maps?

      • reply
        September 23, 2009 6:13 PM

        It's a start. Plus, there should be some solid support from the community in the form of new campaigns specific to modes like versus.

      • reply
        September 23, 2009 6:13 PM

        it's short because it's catered to versus, but it was also supposed to bridge the gap between two of the campaigns, which is kind of cool.

          "Entitled "Crash Course," the latest DLC delivers new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay to both platforms. Targeted for release in September, "Crash Course" bridges the gap between the end of the "No Mercy" campaign and the beginning of "Death Toll" in the original game, expanding the game universe with new locations, new dialogue from the original cast, and an explosive finale."

          September 23, 2009 6:40 PM

          yeah, I knew the goal of it. I'm just not getting super excited for it because I know it will go stale like the others eventually

          • reply
            September 23, 2009 7:01 PM

            I'm still not quite tired of the other maps, at least not in versus.

      Got ER'ed, question.
      Interested in the original L4D, but..
      Do I have to use a headset to play this (or play it correctly I guess)?
      Think I have something laying around not sure if it would work or not.
      Always looked cool, just never got around to it. Now the price seems to be right.
      Late to the party as usual.

        September 23, 2009 7:00 PM

        you don't have to use a headset, but communication is pretty important in L4D, especially co-op (somewhat less important in Versus) so it's certainly helpful to have a mic.

          Good to know!
          Seemed that way but I just wanted to be sure.
          Time to search the "extra parts/crap" boxes and see if I still have one.
          Thanks.
