Left 4 Dead Crash Course DLC is out, Priced Incorrectly, Achievements Revealed

Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo September 29th, 2009 at 7:45 AM

Left 4 Dead's first co-op campaign addition has been released today, about six weeks before the game's first sequel is set to be released. Titled Crash Course, the DLC is a four player co-op campaign and versus mode all rolled into one. It takes place between the Mercy Hospital mission and Death Toll as the survivors helicopter crashes after rescue.

PC owners, all you need to do is fire up Steam and you'll be updated and have the latest content. Xbox 360 owners on the other hand are going to have to pony up some hard earned Microsoft Points for this - though you might want to wait. Why? ~~As of now the price is incorrect.~~

Update: The price has been corrected.

As the above picture shows, the price is currently set at 800 . The correct price is 560 . This is an issue that Microsoft is already aware of. If you accidently purchased the content at the wrong price, Microsoft should refund you the money, though you may have to call customer support.

There are some new achievements as well associated with the DLC, sadly most seem to be geared towards the versus mode.

Crash-proof 15
Survive the Crash Course Campaign.

Quick Power 25
Restart the generator within 30 seconds of it shutting off in the Crash Course campaign.

The Littlest Genocide 25
Kill 5,359 Infected in the Crash Course campaign.

Smash Hit 25

Truck Stop 35
Your team wipes all Survivors after the escape vehicle has opened in Crash Course.

20 Car Pile-up 20
As a Tank hit 20 Survivors with a car in the Crash Course campaign.

Jumpin' Jack Smash 25
Pounce a Survivor for 25 points of damage in the Crash Course campaign.

Slippery Pull 25
Smoker pull a bile-covered Survivor until you hold him during Crash Course.

Tank Stumble 20
Stun a Tank with an explosion in the Crash Course campaign.

Wipefest 35
Your team incapacitates three Survivors within five seconds in the Crash Course campaign.

Expensive even at 560. I've been jonezing for some new L4D however so I might "have" to pick this one up. Anxiously awaiting L4D2.

TheReaperCooL at 04:51 AM on 9.29.2009

I fired up Steam, and nothing updated...

Jackel at 05:03 AM on 9.29.2009

Why this will be PC of course

smurphster at 05:10 AM on 9.29.2009

too busy with ODST at the moment so i'll wait. maybe it will drop in price by the time i get it (fat chance). when i do, it will be on 360 obviously.

blakepro at 07:01 AM on 9.29.2009

Any word on whether this will be forward compatible with L4D2? They said they were considering it at one point.

Biohzrd451 at 07:44 AM on 9.29.2009

Not sure if it will be or not, haven't really heard about it.

It would be nice to be able to play the old maps on Left 4 Dead 2 just to have more map options.

Mrxknown_JG at 08:00 AM on 9.29.2009

YAY! One more thing not worth my money.

Still though, even if it was school is busy as heck. Got a prototype of a project due today and got tests/quizzes all over the place for Cal II.

On the plus side, I think I hear a co-op review coming?

TheReaperCooL at 09:21 AM on 9.29.2009

It's out, I COULD download it, but the Steam servers are too busy to send my request blablabla... -.-

Jackel at 09:26 AM on 9.29.2009

Downloading it as we speak!

bapenguin at 10:09 AM on 9.29.2009

As soon as I get home I'll be setting this to download and plan to hop on around 8 EDT. I created an event in our Steam group too.

TheReaperCooL at 11:19 AM on 9.29.2009

Completed it, it's just 2 maps, but it is as good as if it were 4 maps
Loved it all the way through, completed it with my bro. Tomorrow I'll play it through with my friends

Jackel at 12:08 PM on 9.29.2009

Send me a message on steam and we'll get a game going.

SwissyJim at 05:17 PM on 9.29.2009

WooWoo!!

blakepro at 07:14 PM on 9.29.2009

I purchased it. Couldnt resist.

Funny thing is... I still havent played all of the regular chapters yet...

Jackel at 07:59 PM on 9.29.2009

Played it tonight...lots of fun, but a bit short. Personal recommendation for 360 owners...wait and see if Valve confirms it'll transfer to L4D2.. (But maybe I'm just spoiled w/ custom PC maps)

It is very short, and after running through a campaign last night it is clear to see this is a versus map. What I mean by that is we noticed alot of erratic behavior from the special infected, such as the boomer who sat in the open for us to pick off, or the smoker who denied his tongue choosing to claw us instead. Versus though plays really good and the length of the level is ideal to keep people from using the run and hope for the best tactic.

Also downloaded this last night (360) and loved it. Even though it's two maps, the first map is a bit lengthy and still has many twists and turns. As much as I hate that this probably won't be compatible with L4D2, I still think it helped to breathe some new life into the old dog.
