I had a first... then I realized I wasn't logged in. :( 
 
-edit- now I remember why I wasn't logged in. Those quests are lame and make the site run slow as hell.

this is definitely a series that makes me wish I had tons of friends that play video games, instead of getting married or working all the time.

I can't say I'm all that impressed by this map. In co-op, meeting the survivors is kind of anticlimactic and hugely spread out final map is a grind. In versus the map feels alternately chaotic and stagnant.
 The much more interesting part of the update for me has been the mutation concept. Realism Versus added a whole new level of craziness, and I'm interested in seeing what else the Mutations bring.

There isn't ANY extended cutscene at the beginning of The Passing, in ANY mode, much less telling you about Bill. The part where they show all three and reveal that it's Bill who died is the beginning of the final level.
 
That was meant to be a surprise for the final level. Nice job spoiling it, Brad.

 if you've ever been to savannah, this is very clearly downtown historic river street! its really cool to see recreated because the local is really iconic, but its also kind of funny when you realize that the first campaign is supposed to take place in savannah and this is supposed to be the following their escape.
 
.. obviously they didn't get very far.

Played it with some friends, we had a blast. Mutation mode will certainly be interesting, if our realism vs game said anything. And I generslly don't play vs.

Was that a Plants vs. Zombies (Crazy Dave) reference in the same room as the Dead Rising reference?

I found the whole 'btw Bill's dead' thing to be pretty disappointing. Yeah the V.O didn't wanna do the work but fuck no scripted event of him being swarmed or anything.  He's just there, dead.   God damn lazy on Valve's part. 
 
Overall though the new levels pretty fun, little short and a bit easy but fun.

@Seedofpower:
Uh, I'm pretty sure it's not a spoiler if it's the opening of the campaign... Unless you count looking at the back of a DVD cover to also be a spoiler, as those tend to summarize the plot. Hell, some game boxes even do that. How dare they spoil a game you're just about to play?! Or if you weren't about to play it, why do you care in the first place?
 
[edit] Unless that previous commenter was right, in which case, yeah, that sucks and I'm sorry. Come on Brad, don't do that! But then... It's Left 4 Dead. Who really cares about story spoilers? [/edit]

Mutation Mode makes this worth the purchase, revolving new tweaked play modes every week, including a 'protect the gnome mode' coming soon apparently.
