Left 4 Dead "The Sacrifice" DLC

Post by Fusion »

Valve is creating a new add-on campaign called The Sacrifice. The campaign is being released for both Left 4 Dead 1 and Left 4 Dead 2. Whether or not the actual maps will be identical or not is unknown at the moment.

The Sacrifice in Left 4 Dead 1 will feature the new campaign, but none of the features of Left 4 Dead 2. Melee weapons, new guns, new infected, etc. will NOT be added to the L4D1 version of the campaign. It's simply a new set of maps to play through.

The Left 4 Dead 2 version will still feature the same Left 4 Dead 1 survivors (Bill, Zoey, Francis, Louis), but will have all the features of Left 4 Dead 2 as well, including the new weapons and infected. It will basically be like a new set of maps for Left 4 Dead 2, as well as the L4D1 survivors being ported.

In both versions of The Sacrifice, players will be able to choose which of the four survivors sacrifices him/herself at the end of the campaign. [You all know who the canon choice is anyway.]

In addition, the No Mercy campaign is also being ported to Left 4 Dead 2. L4D2's No Mercy will have the original Left 4 Dead 1 survivors, as well as all the new weapons and new infected of L4D2.

Valve is also making a 150-page digital comic to be released with The Sacrifice giving background on the L4D1 survivor's lives before and during the infection, as well as the final canon sacrifice by [that survivor] before The Passing.
No Mercy and the Survivors being ported to L4D2 is great for a 360 player like myself. :P

It comes out Fall-ish in Valve Time.

Also, this may be related to the lines found in The Passing with the original survivors talking about some boat and other non-Passing objects. That would also mean this is not the last DLC for L4D2, as other lines were found of the new survivors talking about snow.

Pretty sweet. I missed this, and I enjoyed it. I'll be keeping an eye out for part 2 on Sep 21.

The comics for this DLC are pretty intense. Can't wait until it comes out.

It's moments like that trailer that make me glad I randomly chose Bill two years ago.

As the day quickly approaches its end and the 360 players still don't have the DLC, it's starting to look like another case of Valve Time. Oh well, at least the comic came out at the right time. Bill is awesome.

I hope I'm wrong and I at least get to play it while it's October 5th somewhere in the world.

I played through the DLC on Singleplayer and it is very awesome. Great to play the old survivors again. I, of course, played as Bill through it because he is win (and you also get an achievement for sacrificing him).

I didn't own neither the original or the sequel of L4D. Now that the new content is out, I've bought them both for 10,66 dollar/euro. (same number for different currency)

It's a shame that steam seems to be overwhelmed, because I can't start the original L4D download....

I dunno -- I played the L4D1 demo back in the day. I'm not saying it wasn't good, but I've never had an interest in buying either game. I'm just not into the gory scene -- No Gears of War, no Dead Space, no L4D for me.

Bought the 66% off version, too. I actually wanted to buy it last week but didnt, saved 19€.
It does download for me, but it has an average speed of 20 kB/s... Letting this dl over the night.
Maybe we can get together and play a few games this weekend?
