i recently heard and saw something that zombie and minecraft lovers will love. what i talk about is a minecraft level for l4D which has a lot of dark areas, minecraft physics and ladders and caves that will lead you in circles. it is only available for pc as a custom map, i highly recommend it, but is really scary because of the lighting.

Using our Dedicated Left4Dead2 Server

ParaDOX — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 01:15:36 GMT

We have a MC Community L4D2 server. Here's how to make it so you automatically use our server if it's available:

Create a file named autoexec.cfg in your "steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\cfg" folder (if it doesn't already exist) or download the one provided here and copy it to the cfg folder.
open the autoexec.cfg file and add the line:
mm_dedicated_force_servers 67.93.155.118:27010

Start the game from the Steam game list and create a Lobby, set up the game the way you want it and when everyone has joined, start the game.

It's that simple!

Left 4 Dead 2 Banned in Australia

DarkAstraea — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 12:15:31 GMT

"According to Australia's Office of Film and Literature Classification, Left 4 Dead 2's content exceeds that allowable for an MA15+ rating. Any such game is rated as Refused Classification, effectively banning it. From the report: 'The game contains realistic, frenetic, and unrelenting violence which is inflicted upon "the Infected" who are living humans infected with a rabies-like virus that causes them to act violently. The player can choose from a variety of weapons including pistols, shotguns, machine guns, and sniper rifles. However, it is the use of the "melee" weapons such as the crowbar, axe, chainsaw and Samurai sword which inflict the most damage. These close-in attacks cause copious amounts of blood spray and splatter, decapitations and limb dismemberment as well as locational damage where contact is made to the enemy which may reveal skeletal bits and gore.'"

Left 4 Dead DLC

A new update for L4D

Valve said yesterday that they're working on a new campaign for Left 4 Dead, and they plan to release it in September. It's called Crash Course, and while it will be free for owners of the PC version, Xbox 360 users will need to purchase it. The new campaign "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." Crash Course isn't as long as the other campaigns, a deliberate decision by Valve to enable players to finish a Versus-mode game in about 30 minutes. A preview of the new content on Destructoid notes, "Since we've got a shorter campaign, much more has been packed into a smaller space. Lucky players who know where to look can upgrade to second-tier weaponry almost straight away. However, they'll have their work cut out for them, because there's a chance to get swamped by the horde right from the very beginning."

Left 4 Dead 2 Announced!

DarkAstraea — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 13:32:10 GMT

Quite surprisingly, Valve has been working on the sequel to Left 4 Dead, the best co-op game of 2008.

"Left 4 Dead 2 has been announced at E3, and a trailer for the game has surfaced. It will be released November 17, 2009, just a year after the first game. Gameplay changes include a new focus on melee weapons, especially the iconic anti-zombie weapon, the chainsaw. The cast of characters is brand new, but the plot appears to take place during the same zombie outbreak."

New weapons, new characters, new boss zombies, new bullets, new items, new ragdoll death effects...what else could we need? Better game mechanics and gameplay with Valve's new AI Director 2.0 (expected to be much smarter)!! More extreme panic attacks as well!?

Will Left 4 Dead 2 become the best co-op thriller for 2009 as well!? Most likely...Valve certainly has gone over the limit to make this sequel to what it is in such a short amount of time. I would have expected this to be released sometime in 2010, but end of 2009?
