The "Survival Pack" downloadable content for Valve's cooperative zombie shooter Left 4 Dead will be free for both PC and Xbox 360 players, the company confirmed today.

Due out this spring, the download will add a new Survival mode, in which players attempt to survive endless hordes of zombies on at least 12 maps, and allow the Dead Air and Death Toll campaigns to be played in the competitive multiplayer Versus mode.

Pretty Sweet!

YAAAAYYYYY, I guess you could say I'm pleased!!

I would have bought anything for L4D anyway, but I'm glad that valve are keeping up their tradition of not charging for additional content

Woot way to stick it to the man Valve. See this is why I never have to worry about purchasing a valve game everything they touch is golden! Unless you only have a PS3 :P
But like others have said Valve doesnt rush updates they try to get a bug free version out if at all possible so don't take there release date on the patch to heart. Im still waiting for Soldier upgrades in TF2 for PC :(

You know the saying 'good things aren't free and free things aren't good?' Well that doesn't apply to this :P

It's amazing that it's free. I'm glad it is but i'm shocked. Anyway the big question is if the 12 levels will be new or just nerfed. I can't wait to see i hope they're new though lol.

Makes sense, I figured that they had to do this. I would never pay 60 dollars for 3 hours worth of content that I'm expected to play over and over, then pay 10 dollars for each add-on to the game. By making this DLC free, I may actually consider picking the game up eventually. If Valve releases lots more dlc for free, I might check it out.

It's five hours on normal which is basically a cakewalk,advanced is around six-seven hours which feels like the perfect difficulty, and expert can take ten hours or more and is hard. Not to mention the selling point is versus which can last a very long time it just matters how good they are. Though it's just my opinion that the game had plenty of content considering i could replay the same levels well over 90 times without getting bored.

I just heard about this today, great news. It's about time that Microsoft didn't add a pricetag to something that Valve clearly doesn't charge for.
