Left 4 Dead 2 Demo Coming, Left 4 Dead Patched and DLC Next Week

We've got a regular cornucopia of Left 4 Dead news today for you.  First lets start at the upcoming DLC for Left 4 Dead 1 called Crash Course.  Valve has announced a release date of September 29th on both Xbox Live and Steam.  It looks like we were wrong, and so was Paramore.  We're crush crush crushed.

With that out of the way, we're happy to report the game has received a title update on the Xbox 360.  We presume this is to get ready for the aforementioned DLC, but there's a nice side affect - new achievements!  There are now 60 total achievements to be had, as well as updates to some of the interface.  Most of these improvements can be seen on the Infected side of the fence when playing versus.

Now on to Left 4 Dead 2, and a demo of Left 4 Dead 2.  It's been announced that the demo will be out on October 27th - just in time for Halloween!  Once again it looks like it's going to be a co-op zombie killing filled fall gaming season.

Whoops! We actually talked about the rumor on the latest podcast, recorded before this went up.

The new interface lets you see the other infected player's recharge time which is pretty useful.

Great to hear about the Demo I know what I will be playing that night for sure.

they must be pretty confident they have enough new features for L4D2. that's good!

If it's just L4D but with melee weapons and new characters, I'll pass. There's enough mods for the PC L4D to render paying another 50/60 dollars pointless. Guess I'll have to wait for the demo to really drop judgment.

If you are a fan of the first, then I'm pretty sure you'll appreciate the changes for number 2.

Saw this one at PAX and the melee weapons / new director functions (weather / route changes) seem to really make the game feel more alive. And the new special infected are welcome changes (the charger will be great for stopping closet campers)

BIOHZRD451! You better get your *** to Pandora on the 27th or there will be spam.

So these new achievements (looks like your not done yet, Bio ) are they only for the DLC or to the whole game?

Give me a few days and I will have them .

Was reading somewhere this morning that the 27th might be the day preorder folks get the demo.

Any news on if the DLC is compatible with L4D2?

At one point, valve mentioned they were looking into making it forward compatible with L4D2 to make it a better incentive for purchase since its so close to the release of the next game.
