Valve has announced the first piece of DLC for Left 4 Dead 2, which brings in Louis, Bill, Zoey and Francis from the first game to meet the cast of the second. It also promises new game modes, and a new Uncommon Common infected for the new location.
We're excited! It's due to arrive "early 2010," according to the press release, which continues thus:
"Dubbed "The Passing," the first game add-on for L4D2 brings the original Left 4 Dead (L4D1) Survivors down south for a meeting with the L4D2 cast, while delivering new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay for the PC and Xbox 360."
"Targeted for release in early spring, "The Passing" takes place just after the Dead Center campaign of L4D2. Set in a small town in rural Georgia, players assume the role of the L4D2 Survivors as they meet with the L4D1 characters."
"In addition to the new co-operative campaign and associated narrative, "The Passing" will include new arenas for Survival, Versus and Scavenge mode and introduce a new co-operative challenge mode of play. The Passing will also include a new "uncommon common" zombie class, melee weapon, and firearm."
"'The Passing will become the most important campaign in the Left 4 Dead story, as all the Survivors are being called together in one campaign," said Doug Lombardi, VP of marketing at Valve. "It will also be a huge offering of new gameplay content, with something new for every game mode plus a new uncommon common and weaponry.'"
The "Public Private Match Hack" exploit allows other players to create their own private match and gain double XP which gets added to your overall statistics, giving you an unfair advantage. This “bug” is executed through the Friends List
It was only yesterday that Infinity Ward decided to take action against the cheaters in Modern Warfare 2 by patching up some exploits that allowed sneaky players to jump onto out of bound areas and even walk inside walls, as well as the famous “Javelin Glitch”. Despite Infinity Ward’s attempt to stop these cheaters, they have left out a few exploits, which have doubled in use due to the removal of the other exploits.
Known by gamers as the “Public Private Match Hack”, the exploit allows other players to create their own private match and some how gain double experience points which gets added to their overall statistics, giving them an unfair advantage. Also, players have been complaining about suddenly been taken away from their game and being put into the private matches unexpectedly.
This “bug” is executed through the Friends List on the Xbox Live interface, making this an “Only On Xbox 360 Bug”.
Gaming Union have reported that there are other aspects to this exploit:
“Other aspects of this glitch allow you to kill players on the same team and have their death count towards your overall score. This also effects killstreaks, which can then be used to kill more team members if the exploiter wishes.”
Robert Bowling has responded to the complaints made and has said that they are aware of the issue and are working on a new patch over Twitter.
This glitch has become a frustration to many players, especially since the bug is inside the matchmaking system, so all that players can do is hope they don’t get sucked into a game they never intended to play.
Despite the fact that there is nothing that players can do, I personally believe that Infinity Ward will apply a patch ASAP.
