Left 4 Dead update hits 360 "in the coming weeks"

by Richard Mitchell { Jan 15th 2009 at 12:00PM }
Valve sends word that an update for the PC version of Left 4 Dead is now available, with an update for the 360 version planned in "the coming weeks." The update includes lots of bug fixes as well as many improvements to the versus multiplayer mode. As a general improvement, the Infected HUD now shows the status of other Infected teammates, which is nice. Several changes and improvements have been made to the various Infected classes, including increased pounce damage for Hunters, changes to the Smoker's tongue mechanics -- sounds like it's harder to melee the tongue now -- and reduced autoshotgun damage against Tanks. Perhaps most notable to those that play a lot of versus, the percentage chance that either a Witch or Tank will spawn is now the same for both teams. Hopefully that will quell the constant cries of "no fairsies!"

Find the complete list of fixes and improvements after the break. We'll be sure to let you know when the update hits the Xbox 360.

General
- Fixed Survivors being able to climb surfaces marked for versus infected only.
- Fixed a class of SurvivorBot bugs dealing with rescuing downed players.
- Players can no longer grab ladders while flying through the air after a Tank punch.
- Shooting near a car with an alarm that has already fired the alarm will no longer make chirping noises.
- Improved loading time.
- Fixed mini-gun physics exploit.
- Fixed propane tanks (and other physics objects) causing players to fall through elevators.
- Fixed rare achievement bug issues.
- Fixed several map exploits.
- Fixed various match making issues.
- Fixed NAT traversal issues.

Versus Changes
- Added HUD elements to show status of other infected players.
- Changed color of infected player name in chat to red.
- Fixed exploit where players could spawn infected bots
- Fixed instance where a Survivor changing to the infected team would be attacked by infected bots.
- Normalized special infected melee damage.
- Made the following client commands cheat protected: "Kill" and "explode".
- Fixed exploit where infected players could run away and teleport back to gain health.
- Players can only change teams once per map.
- Players can't change teams while other players are still loading.
- Tank spawns at the same % through the map for both teams in versus mode.
- Made the Tank and Witch spawn directly on the escape route.
- Increased chance of getting the Tank or Witch.
- Fixed team swap issue.

Hunter
- Easier to pounce a Survivor who is meleeing.
- Increased Minimum damage a Hunter pounce does.

Smoker
- Fixed Smoker tongue tolerance.
- Smoker now has to be killed or the tongue destroyed for the tongue to break.
- Survivor's cannot bash someone off the tongue until the Survivor being pulled is paralyzed or hanging
- Tongue attacks that fail to paralyze or hang a Survivor will use the shorter ability delay timer.
- Fixed cases where the ability timer was not using the correct time.
- Fixed case where you could point at a Survivor but not register a tongue hit
- Fixed Smoker tongue not targeting and landing properly through PZ ghosts.
- Smoker tongue does damage every second while dragging paralyzed Survivors.

Tank
- Bashable objects now appear with a red glow.
- Tanks hitting a car with an alarm disables the alarm permanently.
- Tank frustration timer is only reset by hitting Survivors with rocks or fists.
- Reduced autoshotgun damage against Tanks.

Witch
- Witch spawns at the same % through the map for both teams.
- Avoids spawning within a certain % of the tank.
- Fixed an exploit where the Witch could be woken up and tricked into attacking Survivors.

Well thats a nice, welcome change

Bear in mind about the update, this is Valve, releasing an update for a console game.

If it DOES come out in the next few weeks, I'll be surprised. I like L4D, but I feel like Valve gets a lot of love that isn't quite deserved or something. I mean, I thought HL was okay, and TF 2 was decent for a while...but eh.

Half-life was fucking brilliant for it's time. Half-life 2, equally so, with the exception of (imo) anti-climatic ending.

Even beyond that, you have portal which is probably the only game I'e ever that has been 100% fun all the way through. There is not one part in that game that was frustrating.

While I agree that Left4Dead is slightly overrated, valve as a company, deservs all the love they get.

LOL i took a painkiller and a muscle relaxer before playing, and proceeded to get kicked from 3 games for sucking ass.

Drugs are bad.

Couldn't connect with PapaGeorgio today. I don't know what the fuck is going on. I want to smash my dsl modem with a sledge. So fucking annoyed with this.

Could have been on my end, I have some of the worst internet ever. Surprised I can even play L4D fine.

It was G, believe it.

I expect Valve to add a whole lot more stuff to L4D. Team Fortress 2 has gotten so many great additions since its release, and I think Valve could easily create new movies and possibly even game-types for the game. We'll see.

Whose up for some drunk(on my end) blood harvest after I get back from the Metallica sho?

Kotaku and Joystiq have both announced the first DLC for the game. New Survival Mode (unexplained as of yet), and the other two movies opened for Versus. The Source SDK is also being released around the same time for PC. Set for Spring.

No prices mentioned, but the hope is that it will be free for the PC...as Valve has done for all their other game additions. It'll probably cost money on the 360, though.

Of course it will. Microsoft needs the money.

1000/1000

lol loser. how'd you get the don't get fucked by specials and vomitted?

skillz

We'll seeing as all 4 people need to get through game without that shit happening to them, and you can't play as 4 people as once...perhaps I should ask again.

4 of us used skillz

I'm going to help Roxer get his probably tonight, you can join us.

YES Anyone who has the PC version needs to get this

Survival Pack DLC - Due Spring 09

New details have been released on Left 4 Dead's upcoming "Survival Mode. The game's new mode will feature "up to four players [set] records for the longest time surviving hordes of zombies on over 12 maps." Zombie Horde mode? Awesome!

The upcoming update, which has been dubbed the "Survival Pack" will be released on the PC and Xbox 360 this Spring, will also include playable Versus mode versions of the "Dead Air" and "Death Toll".

Also, PC gamers will be getting access to the game's software development kit soon, which will allow gamers to create their own campaigns for play on the PC.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Im thinking the 12 maps for Horde mode are just sections of the existing four maps but it still seems pretty awesome. Surely to bring more from the online players.

Glad to finally play the other two maps online. Im tired of playing the same two even though it always seems like a new experience every time.

Yeah, that's pretty much what people were thinking Survival would be. Can't wait. :y:

The recently announced Left 4 Dead Survival pack for the Xbox 360 and PC will be free, Valve announced today. The pack, due this spring, introduces a new multiplayer game mode entitled, Survival, plus two complete campaigns for Versus Mode (Death Toll, Dead Air). A Critic's Choice Edition of the game will be heading to retail stores this spring, and will include access to all the content introduced in the L4D: Survival Pack.

The VG forum has strict guidelines on swearing :foc:

MORE VS. MODES :D :D :D

Yeah I'm sick of Blood Harvest.
