What are the new campaigns like? Sorry didn't respond to steam last night, was working and just had the PC on for notes. So far only tried one new campaign: Dead air. It's quite good.. Obviously rooftops have been added to all building, additional climbing places added (and they're marked).. "lame closets" are largely removed. Additional "cover elements" to help infected (esp. at crescendo events) Ammo/ guns/ and items spawn in better locations - Generally good. Looking forward to trying Death Tol.. Survival mode on the other hand is just STUPID! It's 4 minutes of pure mayhem! No rest/ no breaks/ just death. The average amount of time we lasted was about 3.5 mins... We once got up to 10 mins to earn the gold medal but to be honest this was due to a large open "kitable" map and two of our tanks "bugging" and getting stuck on scenary. Seeing 3 or 4 smokers wokring together is madness however! And hunter "knockback" has been doubled to stop everyone sticking too close together Bugs: Tanks and survivors both get stuck in certain places on the maps - nothing major.. probably get fixed soon.

Are there not 2 new campaign maps, on top of the original 4 maps? And some lighthouse map aswell?
Adding Versus to Death and Dead air isn't anything new IMO - should have been live when the game launched.
Am looking forward to trying Survival, seems like a lot of fun and more in line with my concept of zombie movies!

16 "new maps"
15 taken from existing scenarios for survival with one new lighthouse map.
only new versus mode campaigns are death toll and dead air which have been highly modified.

Last nights game was ok.. it's a shame the opposition had bad sportmenship Bad sportsmanship my ass. All i said was your random was good, and ours sucked. Bad sportsmanship is when andré has to type summat everytime he gets hit by melee, summat that didnt happen. You're just sore we raped you that hard

New L4D Patch just released.... Amongst the patch notes, I noticed the following:
- Darkened the Lighthouse background movie and increased the contrast with the user interface elements
- Correctly update the leaderboard based on the player's personal time, not the team best time

Some new content would be really nice - I actually like the player v zombie more at times than versus. Versus is fun, but me likey the co op horror aspect more!

I prefer Versus these days.. But that's because even playing the same maps become more dynamic. With new maps, A good Co-op game will be just as good.. And it'll made the coop experience feel "fresh" again
