Steam is putting its Workshop tools to work once again, this time with Left 4 Dead 2. The update is planned for sometime in mid-October, giving creators more tools and users more variety of content to sample, along with one intriguing-sounding method of integrating the content.

A post on the Left 4 Dead Blog promises that you can browse, rate, discuss, and easily install mods, par for the course with Steam Workshop titles. It's even offering an expanded scripting tool that can layer modifications on top of existing maps, similar to mutations. But L4D2 will also be experimenting with some way of folding content into the world "even more seamlessly." That vague hint is all we have to go on now. The Workshop will be available across PC, Mac, and Linux.

      Sounds good, have been meaning to get back into L4D2 actually.

      Have had some really fun coop games in the past.

      Got my 300+ hours in on KF, so I guess it's time I start knocking out some of those L4D(2) achievements!

        Or you could have just bought it from the NZ store, or had it gifted to you by an American friend...
