Soldiers of the Wasteland

Crash Course, the all-new free DLC for Left 4 Dead was released yesterday. The update includes a new campaign (which can also be played in versus or survival mode), new achievements as well as a streamlined version of the existing versus campaigns.

The events of the Crash Course campaign are set after the finale of No Mercy (where the survivors escape on the helicopter) and leads up to the beginning of the Death Toll campaign.

However, the main feature of Crash Course is its streamlined Versus mode. This update is set to balance Versus campaigns more effectively and allow the completion of a campaign within 30 minutes, making for a much faster play experience.

To coincide with the release of Crash Course, Left 4 Dead can be bought for half price ($14.99) from the Steam store (sale ends October 2).

The highly anticipated update to Requiem: Bloodymare has finally launched after 3 long weeks of teasing update information. Requiem: Memento Mori is now available for download from the official site or it can also be grabbed through the torrent listed on the download page.

Alternatively for people who already have the game installed and who don’t want a copy of the installable client, you can just run the Requiem Launcher and it will download and apply the update from there.

All of the changes in Memento Mori can be found in the patch notes which are available on the Requiem forums.

Feel free to discuss Memento Mori and all of the changes it will bring, in the dedicated thread on our forums.

UPDATE

In addition to the new update there will also be a +50% EXP event for the next 2 weeks!

Back in the beginning of August the Revival 1.0 patch notes were announced. 5 weeks later and the patch is still yet to be released – but with good reason.

The Revival team decided to delay the release of the 1.0 single player patch, most probably due to the sheer amount of really cool stuff they want to put in there, and thankfully Maeyan has re-released the patch notes which now include all the new additions to the patch.

Below is a sample of what to expect in the Revival patch:

• Fawkes event loot
• In game pets Cocomoco and Mantawraith
• Dye kits including special ‘Founders only’ dyes
• Transmogrifying cube
• Skill and Attribute Retrainers
• Unlocked ‘multiplayer only’ unique items
• Dawn of the Zombies – a new quest where you kill 150 zombies!
• New custom launcher
• Standard balances & fixes

For a full list and detailed description of what is included in the patch be sure to check out the Revival SP Patch 1.0 thread on the HG:R forums.

The release date for the patch is listed as October 31st.

The announcement that all Requiem players have been eagerly waiting for, has finally been made!
