for everyone's info, Crash Course is released on September 29th. Classic Valve, they said it would be released in September, and it's released the second to last day!

 

[DarthRekal]

yup posted it last page and the post above yours...

tomorrow suckas!

Unsurprisingly there's a 50% off deal being promoted with the DLC.

Anyone download Crash Course? I've played it a few times. Apparently achievements are glitchy at least from my experiences.

One thing I really hate about it is that literally everytime you kill a special infected, another one appears. It's just one after another, over and over and over again. I don't know if it's because the campaign is so short or what but it makes the game annoying.

 

[AlteredEgo]

yeah, i was watching my brother play this last night, and it was just wave after wave of boomers. it was ridiculous, they couldnt move forward hardly. so what is crash course? what's the theme or whatever?

 

[Paradyme]

It's supposed to follow immediately after the No Mercy campaign. I don't want to spoil it but lets just say Zoey got a little nervous while in the chopper. I don't really know how to explain the theme. You just move along the level and through buildings, across a bridge, etc. Pretty standard stuff really.

In short (spoiler warning) [blackout]the chopper pilot from No Mercy was infected and turned in flight. The chopper crashes leaving the survivors stranded in a warehouse district. The campaign ends when you get to a garage where other survivors had reinforced a delivery van but died before they could use it. The campaign ends wit the survivors tearing out of there in the armored vehicle. According to the developers Death Toll takes place immediately after this which makes sense considering that Death Toll starts on a blocked highway.[/blackout]

Spoiler

I could've sworn it was Zoey shoots him because she believes he is infected but he really isn't. During the campaign they make fun of her several times saying "maybe if that infected was a pilot you'd be able to hit him."

 

[DarthRekal]

you are correct paradyme

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I was pretty disappointing the maps, aesthetically I found them very bland.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Is Crash Course worth the money? I might buy it when I get some MP. If not I'll just buy another COD map pack.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

No.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Ah, okay. I'll just wait for L4D2 then. The old maps are still fun anyway & MUA2/HaloDST/MW2 will keep me busy.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

The maps were suppose to be free in the first place, it's Microsoft charging you through the nose.

honestly I'd advise ya to research it. I'm sure there is gameplay footage of it on yt you could check out and judge for yourself. Personally I liked it. Yeah its alittle short but they up the challenge to it by shortening the time it takes for a special infected to spawn. Though I don't think it's worth the cash Microsoft tries to squeeze outta you.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Eh, I'll just buy the COD maps instead. I haven't bought any of those yet & I should. Alot of my friends play the Nazi Zombies maps (Though most of them are on ODST right now, but there's always random people to play with).

Left 4 Dead 2 achievements: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/left-4-dead-2/achievements/

Looks easy. Might be easier than the first game.

 

[RKO]

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend buying Crash Course, It's not worth it and you're not missing much.

Thank god I'm a PC gamer and I get it for free.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Awesome new L4D2 trailer:

 

[XxDelta09xX]

That Trailer OWNS!

 

[Venom160]

[NightBeetle]

[Upset Spideyfan]

That was pretty neato.
