IGN posted a write up on new features in the upcoming DLC for Left 4 Dead(due summer for PC and XBOX360 for free). The new DLC will include new versus modes for Blood Harvest and Dead Air campaigns as well as a new survival mode. According to IGN, the survival mode will be about:
The second big addition in the DLC is the introduction of an entirely new Survival mode that's designed if you just want to get in and have fun for about 10 or 15 minutes at a time, though the fast pace and challenge of it means you and your group can do round after round while the hours waste away. In essence, it's the equivalent of Counter-Strike's five-minute matches.
In Survival mode, the goal is simple: you and up to three other players are on a single level and must stay alive as long as possible against an unending assault of zombies. Each Versus match starts with a setup time, as you can scour the map for weapons and equipment, like health kits and gasoline tanks. You can take as much time as you want, as the timer at the top of the screen doesn't begin until someone hits the button that starts the zombie horde. Once the button is pressed, the action gets off to a furious start and escalates from there.
The survival mode sounds like something for the extreme hardcore L4D gamers and might be a much bigger challenge. Great that these are free, loved to see more free stuff.
