Left 4 Dead

This Friday Valve has given Steam users the opportunity to download and play Left 4 Dead for free. The promotion only lasts for the day, so if you have been thinking of buying the game, this would be the perfect opportunity to try it out.

Beginning Friday at 12:01 am GMT, the PC version of Left 4 Dead will be available for a free 24-hour trial via Steam. The free trial will include access to the recently released Survival Pack DLC, which introduces a new multiplayer game mode and two additional Versus campaigns. Those who wish to give L4D and the Survival Pack a try may now pre-load everything needed to play with no obligation to purchase.

Left 4 Dead

Left 4 Dead

Just in case you couldn’t decipher the string of acronyms thrown in the post title, the Left 4 Dead ‘Survival Pack’ was released yesterday on PC as free downloadable content for owners of the game. This update introduces the new game mode known as Survival Mode where players must try to survive a continuous onslaught of zombies for as long as possible, as well as also including 16 new maps and 7 new achievements.

Judging by the spawn-graph released by Valve, Survival Mode looks like it will appeal to the hardcore gamers inside of us all. If your team manages to survive for 12 minutes, then you will be getting a new Tank spawn every 30 seconds! It’s going to be tough to survive for 12 minutes, and basically impossible to go over 14 with the Tank spawning every 20 seconds or less, but I’m sure SotW is up for the challenge.

To find people who are ready for that challenge, be sure to head to the L4D section of the forums.
