    Copy-paste from another discussion:
     
    "While containing both Survival maps and a Co-operative Campaign, the primary goal of "Crash" is to deliver a complete Versus mode experience in just 30 minutes, resulting in a streamlined version of the game's existing Versus campaigns."
     
    In other words, "we're making a shorter map because making a larger one requires time and resources."
     
    Even though this is still scheduled for release September, and will invariably be delayed at least twice.

    Great, shorter campaigns were what I was hoping for for DLC, but I was also hoping there would be three of them to compensate for shorter length, but I guess one isn't bad. That said, 7 bones seems a bit much for barely half a campaign, maybe 2 bones or 3 bones would be more reasonable.

    Exciting I guess. At least now people in the L4D2 hate camp will be shut up about one thing. Too bad I have the 360 version and have to pay for it.

    Geez, shut up all you complainers. DLC is a great thing to have for this game, and it doesn't matter if it is shorter than a regular campaign, 2 maps is still a significant amount. They say it will be "streamlined," which provides for a tighter experience, especially in Versus as they are noting. Hopefully they made new assets and have brand-new environments for this; most likely yes. Don't complain about this: this is what everyone was asking for.

    Probably a good thing but I don't think I'll buy it. The modded campaigns are quite fun and I'm not a huge fan of Paid DLC as it is. If it's a free download for PC then ofcourse that's good. More shit for free.

    $7 for the 360 version.  To expensive in my book.

    It's actually fair mathamatically.  For $60 you paid for four maps.  That would make each map roughly $15.  Half of a map would be $7.50.  (I guess I didn't include free updates like Horde mode, but hey.  It's close.  :P )

    Not sure if I will get this or not. It will be close to the release of Left 4 Dead 2.

    Yay! So you can play it for like a month or two and then spend 60 dollars on an entirely new game!

    I certainly would not mind a short, official campaign to munch on while I wait for Left 4 Dead 2. Some of the custom maps on the PC are really good, but I think Valve maps have this specific flair about them..

    Why is it even when the boycotters start getting what they want, it's still not enough?
     
    Anywho, awesome. I hope they fill all the gaps with mini or full campaigns. Most people believe that if L4D is one full story, it goes like this:
     
    No Mercy
    Crash Course
    Death Toll 
    (Gap)
    Dead Air
    (Gap)
    Blood Harvest 
    (Gap)
    The Last Stand
     
    So it would be nice to have those spaces in the "Story" Explained.

    No they are proving all the idiots who got mad when they announced L4D2 wrong.
