This is mostly to appease all the pissed off players who wanted more from L4D before 2 came out .

I blame XBL. Really in the old days we didn't call these things DLC or whatever fancy name they use now. We just called them "Mappacks". And back then, you didn't have to pay for them! ZOMG!!

Well, Valve has been nice so far and not charged. Mostly cause of the PC version I think. Prolly do sell a bit more console than PC so if PC gets free stuff then you got screaming console folks wanting the same. Gotta keep the masses happy.

Valve 'struggling' with how to make L4D DLC compatible with L4D2

In an interview with Edge magazine, Valve's Chet Faliszek admits that they're still trying to figure out how to make Left 4 Dead DLC compatible with the sequel coming out later this year. When asked if the Crash Course L4D update will be playable for L4D2 owners, Faliszek responded:

Faliszek: We’re still struggling with how interoperability is going to work, right now. When we talk about L4D, the story stuff – there’s actually a lot of character dialogue that’s based in each map.

So you can’t just play it with another set of characters?
Faliszek: No. We’d have to duplicate that, which we’re not against doing. But there’s this thing of the world – these characters wouldn’t be here – how much does that matter? We have a world sketched out and we have an understanding of where everything is and what’s going on, you know, so story-wise it wouldn’t make much sense. But equally there’s a whole group of the fans who don’t care. So we could put new characters in old places and old characters in new places.

Zombie ass, you prevert.

Anyhoo I'm especting the new stuff tomorrow. Anyone have experience trying to use an XBL headset plugged into a PC soundcard as a mic? PC isn't quite ready and L4D isn't hazzed yet, but ju$t maybe...

Be pricey tho, i'd still prolly consider the 940 BE first. Plus my board would need a bios update to cover the 965 so until Gigabyte does, I dunno. They do tend to update mine still, which is good.

Heh, I still can't take my X2 5000+ BE over 2.8Ghz due to my ancient heatsink. Pondering splurging a lil from my work $$ and getting a new HSF. Debating if its worth the $$$. Really didn't make much this year, company was cutting back hours a lot.

So tomorrow I begin the joyous task of trying to power a 4890 from a 2004 PSU. Joy.

(Oh, wait, I meant a 4830. Yeah, that's totally my plan! )

Wonder what the wiring will look like.

Keep 'em guessing.

That Bat... what a n00b.
(That iBooks... what a TKer. )




(And we'll see what a leveler playing field brings in H3: ODST come September).

Campaign scoring Level 1:

Bat:                    95,032 (running rampant)
NC37:                 8,266
iBooks:               8,266
Hudsonhawk23:   quit

Unfamiliar as I am, I only halfway get those refs. I suspect tho, on the serious end of things, that we two are a couple of the best team players around, whatever the game. Age hath its benefits.

I can still hold my own in DM, but a grasp of tactics since youth plus the much-lessened need to show off, be the best individual are the keys, I suspect. It's nice to be top scorer in co-op, and I have been more than once- but it's not such a biggie as when young. The team comes first.

I agree. Though I tend to be a bit aggressive. Someone has to be the first through the door.

(Btw, user, my card came with a copy of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky).

Hint: it might be a hint.

(...maybe).
