With "The Passing" due out soon on the PC and Xbox 360, we figured we'd whet your appetite with a rundown of the new Achievements you'll be able to earn later this week.

Let's start with the straight-forward ones we'd be crazy not to include: Surviving the campaign, playing some Scavenge, using the new weapons, playing a Midnight Riders song, and smashing up some Survivors with a Charger.

Torch Bearer
Survive The Passing Campaign.


Port of Scavenge
Play 5 full games of Scavenge on The Port.


Fore!
Knock off the heads of 18 infected with the golf club.


Til It Goes Click
Using the M60, kill 25 infected without letting go of the trigger.


Killing Them Swiftly To This Song
Play the new Midnight Riders song on a jukebox.


Wedding Crasher
As the Charger, grab a Survivor and crash them through 8 chairs at the wedding.


Alright. Now onto the spoilery ones. Some of these might not make sense until you play The Passing--like "Cache Grab", which involve foot lockers, a new addition to the Left 4 Dead 2 universe.

Cache Grab
Open 5 foot lockers.


Okay. So we know one of the original Left 4 Dead Survivors is off shooting zombies in Heaven--but what are the other three up to? Covering your ass.

Kite Like a Man
Kill a tank only with damage from the original Survivors.


The "Grave Robber" achievement ties into another addition to the L4D2 universe, in the form of a new Uncommon Common: the Fallen Survivor.

Grave Robber
Collect 10 items dropped by a Fallen Survivor.


And of course, we saved the best for last: the "Mutant Overlord" achievement, which you can only get by playing six Mutations.

Right about now you might be asking yourself, "What in the hell is a Mutation?" "Why do I have to play six of them?" "Are there more than six?" "Where's that smell coming from?" All good questions. Look for most of the answers in our Wednesday blog post.

Mutant Overlord
Play 6 Mutations.

LEFT 4 DEAD 2 THE PASSING COMING APRIL 22



Game Add-On Brings L4D1 Survivors Down South


April 20, 2010 - Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress, and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced the first game add-on for its co-operative zombie thriller, Left 4 Dead 2 The Passing, is due for release Thursday, April 22 exclusively for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system and the PC.

The first game add-on for Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2) brings the original Left 4 Dead (L4D1) Survivors down south for a meeting with the L4D2 cast, while delivering new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay for the PC and Xbox 360.

The Passing also introduces a series of weekly game mode events dubbed "Mutations." These week-long runs of new gameplay modes range from "Realism Versus" mode to "Chainsaw Massacre," which gives all players chainsaws with an unlimited supply of gasoline. There are over 20 Mutations planned, each playable on all L4D2 Campaigns. Mutations are exclusively available to owners of "The Passing" DLC.

In addition, "The Passing" offers a new co-operative challenge mode of play, support for infected bot play in Versus, a new "uncommon common" zombie class (the fallen survivor), melee weapon (golf club), and firearm (M-60).

Available for 560 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360 and free on the PC, "The Passing" takes place just after the Dead Center campaign of L4D2. Set in a small town in rural Georgia, players assume the role of the L4D2 Survivors as they meet with the L4D1 characters.

Exclusively available for Xbox 360 and the PC, L4D2 sets a new benchmark for co-operative action games. The title adds melee combat to enable deeper co-operative gameplay, with items such as a chainsaws, frying pans, axes, baseball bats, and more.

With the AI Director 2.0, L4D's dynamic gameplay is taken to the next level by giving the Director the ability to procedurally change weather effects, world objects, and pathways in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match the players' performance. The result is a unique game session custom fitted to provide a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience each time the game is played.

Finally, with new Survivors, boss zombies, weapons, and items, Left 4 Dead 2 offers a much larger game than the original, featuring more co-operative campaigns, more Versus campaigns, new Survival maps, and the new competitive game mode, Scavenge.

Well. Deduce for yourself. D:

[CoolCorky]

This basically confirms that they're going to randomise who dies.

How the hell did you deduce that?


Your lack of evidence disturbs me.


And no don't use that as evidence. It's conjecture.

[CoolCorky]

I deduced that because they're not going to do this whole image changing thing then go "TROLOLOLOL BILL DIEZ"

Can anything like this be filtered or bannable?

[CoolCorky]

A bunch of the L4D DEV accounts just came online. This could be it.

Funny story about that.
