Left 4 Dead 2: Cold Stream DLC releasing in July

At long last

After about a year in beta (classic Valve), the Left 4 Dead 2 DLC known as Cold Stream is finally about ready to launch. You can expect the content July 24 on PC, Mac, and 360.

Cold Stream, if you're unaware, contains six new maps: Cold Stream, Blood Harvest, Crash Course, Dead Air, and Death Toll. There are also some "surprises and details" to come from Valve at a later date. For now, it can be said all mutations will be available at all times, including user-made ones.

As ever, we expect this to be free on PC and a relatively small amount on 360. Confirmation and more info as it comes in.

Oh don't worry, I won't

That said cold stream is a pretty good map but the real prize here is all the other maps we'll be able to get. Wonder what goodies they have in store for us.

I'd think all L4D owners will be pissed. Buying the game to find out NOW that all the maps will be transferred to L4D2 with all L4D2 Infected, Weapons, Bile bomb and Adrenaline. Not even trading L4D in at Gamestation, GAME, Gamestop will be enough to get this expansion pack on Xbox.

Luckily, I dont have L4D because i knew this would happen after hearing about The Sacrifice having No Mercy.

I'm not pissed and I have 11 copies of L4D1. I think it's a much better quality game. I'll also be buying this DLC for L4D2 if for nothing else, Cold Stream.

About time, I haven't touched my L4D2 in ages because I was bored of it but these new maps should bring a bit of life back into the game.

Sure you do! 5 of the original. 5 Game of the Year Editions for the extra versus stuff, and then I found a copy at Target on clearance for 8 bucks so I figured what the hell.

I played A LOT of system link in my basement before I got Xbox Live

L4d1 has since past its life cycle when the sequel came out and the porting of the maps has been known for about 2 tears now, when no mercy was ported.

its like when they made tf2 free to play.

TF2 being announced as F2P was quite the stir up to the community. Now its full of noobs and newbs.

CTTR champion Jul 23, 12

No pricing yet. Probably wont know as it will probably get delayed again like The Sacrifice.

At least the Sacrifice was only delayed for a day. Of course, it would have been nice if they would have told us, but oh well.

I'm suspecting it will be delayed, but I've still got my hopes up regardless.
