    So, your hands are sore from holding on to your respective butts in hot nerve-wracking anticipation of Valve's Left 4 Dead 2 and Left 4 Dead The Sacrifice DLC? Good news: Valve will be easing your pain by bringing out the additional bits of content soon--as in October 5.
     
    Just to be clear, that October 5 release date applies to the same content across all versions of the games. The prices, however, will vary. The Xbox 360 versions will cost 560 Microsoft Points a pop, Valve has confirmed, while the PC versions will be free as usual. 
     

    No Caption Provided

    Both versions of The Sacrifice DLC feature three brand new maps, all of which are playable across all the games' respective modes. The L4D2 version of the content has an extra-special bonus: the original game's No Mercy campaign will be playable in L4D2's Versus, Survival, and Scavenger modes. Additionally, the new campaign will feature all the new special infected, weapons, and items that were added to Valve's sequel.

    == TEASER ==The Sacrifice, as you may have guessed from its name, has a neat mechanic. During both versions' finales, one player will be asked to "sacrifice" himself so the others may live. As previously reported, both versions of the content will feature the original cast of L4D, so I'm guessing Zoey is going to get the short end of the life stick quite a bit.

    If I had to choose between Bill and Zoe for the sacrificial lamb, I'd definitely pick Zoe.

    I should have learned better after the first article about this DLC, but I thought this was about Sacrifice for a few seconds.

    Using Merriam-Webster as the measuring stick, most of the things that we call zombies do not fit the strict criteria of what a zombie actually is. Nonetheless, Left 4 Dead's infected do fit a loose criteria. So, stop being a zombie elitist. :)

    Actually, I don't think we've ever seen conclusive evidence of that. People in the L4D universe are infected with a rabies-like virus. They are, essentially, rabid human beings. It's possible that I missed some explicit, definitive reference to people dying completely and coming back to life as zombies, but I'm 90% certain that I'm right about this one.

    If you're talking about
     she didn't die before turning into a zombie. From the second she hit the floor after the zombie attack, she was still making noises. And a person doesn't die instantly from being bitten on the face, no matter how gnarly the bite is. She was attacked, infected, probably went into shock, then became a zombie. Either way, it's not conclusive evidence.

    I am so confused as to why they would release a DLC that lets the players choose who gets sacrificed after they released a DLC that had them already choose...

    I thought this new one was supposed to explain how Bill died? Now it's some new mechanic where either you or everyone in the party picks who gets the short end of the deal. Is Valve ever going to explain the Bill thing or is it some kind of anchor for future L4D cannon where everyone just assumes he's dead and they'll explain it in future versions of the game?

    " I thought this new one was supposed to explain how Bill died? Now it's some new mechanic where either you or everyone in the party picks who gets the short end of the deal. Is Valve ever going to explain the Bill thing or is it some kind of anchor for future L4D cannon where everyone just assumes he's dead and they'll explain it in future versions of the game? "

    Explaining Bill's death is the purpose of the L4D comics that Valve is already halfway through releasing. Check out the L4D blog.    Also the mechanic where you choose who dies has been a known part of this DLC since it's very first announcement, all the way back in March.

    @LoggerRythm: The DLC will let the players choose who is sacrificed, but, as seen in The Passing, the canon result is that Bill sacrifices himself.  It's like when a game has multiple endings, but a sequel decides that only one ending happened.  But the L4D comic leads up to The Sacrifice, as someone said before.

    I think it was in a L4D2 interview on gametrailers where Gabe Newell described developing software on the 360 as "Being able to make any kind of software you want, as long as it's a spreadsheet".
     
    Does anyone else find it completely ridiculous that developers can't release free content updates on the 360?

    Bill looks seriously pissed, I don't like it. I miss his cheery, "I hate you, Francis" attitude. 
     
    New Bill scares me. Hold me.
