Valve are pushing to get a modified version of L4D2 out ready for the worldwide release date, with the promise that, if they get the banning of the original over-turned, they'll release a patch that changes it to the full gore "originally banned" version For PC owners, 360 gays will have to be perma-lame on their edited happy happy pink fluffy version, lol!

News just in: Xbox360 games can be patched News just in: You're a douche who's not funny! Obviously xbox games can be patched, but this would be waaaaay more than just a patch - even Gabe says its basically not a viable option to patch a console version from lame-fluffy to full gore..."Newell confirmed that if the edited version is released, then the Australian version would receive an update if the appeal proves successful. This would be free on PC, but he said he did not yet know how it might work on Xbox 360. "Well, on the PC side we'd just update them so it's easy there. I don't have a real clear idea of how we would be able to provide that to Xbox customers. Our hope is to not get into that situation and have the Xbox version be available."

Don't put words into Gabe's mouth.
He says nothing about it being WAAAY more than a patch - He's simply not sure how the Xbox system works, or even if Microsoft will allow them to "patch" a censored version after launch..
Afterall, MS made customers pay for free DLC that Valve offered... The two companies work in different ways.
Technically their *shouldn't* be any limitations in patching the console version.

But the demo is released on the 28th!.. The thursday.. No doubt quite late in the day - Say 8pm... Then you'll have to wait about 4 hours to download with the mad ass pre-order rush.. Then finding a server/ connectivity will be fun.. So u may get to play it by friday... if you're lucky.

Hey,
Can anyone link a site where I can get some new maps for l4d1?
Wanted to get maybe 2 - 3 new campaigns to play before l4d2 comes out and the easier to do the better as I've to get a few of my mates to do this too and they complain if there is any effort whatsoever.
Thanks for any help !

You preordered l4d2, rob? Not yet but it is an absolute given that I will get it. My love of l4d 1 didn't last quite as long, but I still enjoy going back to play it. I probably won't get the demo, would rather limit the amount I play as I found I overdid it with the original, playing the demo until I could muscle memory the first two levels with my eyes closed.

I guess it didn't help that we ran around as infected griefing all the poor people who thought they were playing coop?

That was hilarious... "Hai Guys, we're game developers play testing the final versus edition, do you guys mind testing with us? You will get a free copy of the game.." "OMG - REALLY? that is SOO COOL" "Great.... well then let's start -" "WTF ... 5 TANKS ? ?!!? ?"

So, I've been saying for a while that the odds are perhaps stacked too much in favour of the infected, with all these new OP special infected.
However, the ability to res dead team members goes a long way towards evening this out a bit!
