Left 4 Dead “Survival Pack” DLC Is Live
Left 4 Dead has become something of a staple during our gaming nights here at the GamerFront HQ. It really just doesn’t get much better than blowing away zombies with three of your closest friends. Actually it does get better. How about trying to survive wave after wave of zombies with no hope of getting out alive? Now that’s some fun.
If you haven’t already grabbed it, log into Steam or Xbox Live and download your free “Survival Pack” DLC. I’ve already played a couple of rounds on Survival Mode with a few strangers online, which didn’t go so well. I might just have to wake the other guys up so we can really put our skills to the test. You want a change log? Here it is direct from Valve:
