L4D2: If 60,000 earn Connecting Fights achievement, Blood Harvest beta gets unlocked early

l4d2-aug

Valve’s added an updated version of the original Left 4 Dead Terminal Map for Dead Air into Left 4 Dead 2, and it is handing out an incentive to test it for bugs and the like. This incentive will come in the form of an achievement called Connecting Fights, which is earned by playing a complete game of Versus in Dead Air. What’s more, once 60,000 people earn the achievement, Valve will unlock the beta version of Blood Harvest on Steam the following weekday. Think of it as the same as with the Dead Air incentive, only instead of the goal being 20,000, Valve has added and extra 40,000 on top of it. Get to work. Thanks, Shack.

Left 4 Dead “The Sacrifice” cinematic trailer is full of zombies, desperation, more zombies

left4dead14

The new Left 4 Dead “The Sacrifice” trailer presents a classic match-up of brains versus brawn. And overwhelming numbers. And speed. And mobility. And every other conceivable disadvantage one small group of weak, scared, tired humans could have against a never-ending, never-faltering brain-hungry horde.

Our guess? Everyone’s gonna be perfectly fine, of course! How else would something called “The Sacrifice” end?

New Left 4 Dead DLC called “The Sacrifice,” works with L4D 1 and 2

trailerscreen_03

The plot, it thickens. You played as them; you laughed with them; you screamed with them; you listened to one of them complain a bunch. And now, you get to choose which one of them dies. Like, for real. Sorry, no magical resurrection lockers this time around.

We’re speaking, of course, of the original Left 4 Dead cast, and smart money says this next batch of DLC is their last hurrah – at least, as a foursome.
