Hands-On with Left 4 Dead DLC

The folks over at IGN have gotten their hands on a preview of the upcoming DLC for Left 4 Dead. Included are some videos and an interesting article to accompany it. Keep in mind the videos show players that suck really bad so that will be the biggest thing you'll notice.

It's real cool to see the Survival mode in action. Basically what it will be is you are still on a four man team but you are put in smaller versions of the campaign maps, with the addition of one map called "Lighthouse" which is supposed to be really difficult. Anyway, the goal is simple: survive as long as you can. Zombie waves come at you from all corners and it is pretty much non-stop action. The longest the Valve guys have lasted is 9 minutes so it is pretty hard to do.

In addition to the new game mode, they've released the other two campaigns as Versus and the PC version will also finally have the SDK to work with.

It should be a pretty nice update...and it's completely free! We should see it hit steam sometime in March or April. Read more about it here.
