New L4D DLC on its way

Its a little old news but i wanted to share it if you didn't know already

The very first step in creating a new DLC is deciding on the larger goals and constraints for the DLC. The Sacrifice and the Passing were story heavy, so we want to see what the other end of the spectrum looks like. For this DLC we start with wanting to experiment by releasing a map pack that wasn’t about story. It would just be new campaigns for Left 4 Dead 2.

That makes the first constraint no new audio or story.

The easiest starting point for new campaigns is the three remaining Left 4 Dead 1 campaigns, so the DLC will include those. We also want something brand new and Cold Stream is the perfect fit.

That’s the start of the DLC. We have the basic information but we don't even have a name or release date yet.

-A new community campaign – Cold Stream might become an offical DLC
-They are releasing the remaning L4D1 Campaigns onto L4D2

Discuss?

Meh. I played the living hell out of L4D2 when it came out, but after that I've barely played it. The DLC sounds cool I guess.

They aren't keeping their promise with L4D, but this is not a big deal either way. Let me know when they start to implement some fun new weapons.
