The Passing is here people. Finally, the three annoying dudes and Ellis meet the real Left 4 Dead survivors. Or at least, three of them.

Has anyone had a chance to play any yet? What did you think?

Personally I've only had a chance to play though the new Campaign once on normal so far. And I have to be honest, it's a little disappointing. I completed the entire thing and survived in just under 40 minutes. Kind of blows for a first attempt. It will certainly be great to have a go at it with Expert since we may actually be able to do it in under 3 hours. The new Midnight Riders song is great though, a variation on the awesome "Knocking on Heavens Door".

While I haven't had a go with the M60 yet I've seen the damage it can do and it's pretty devastating. Certainly balanced out by the fact there's only enough bullets for about 5 minutes at best. The Golf club doesn't feel all that great to me. Generally I like the smash damage weapons such as the Cricket and Bassball bat, but it's really difficult to get a satisfying head shot with this weapon.

Lag is preventing my from playing much other than that so far, but I played a little of the first of the new Mutations. For those who don't know, Mutations are essentially a new game mode that is changed every single week. They're essentially variations on the all ready existing modes, the first one being "Realism Versus". In this mode the Zombies have the complete upper hand with the Survivors having to deal with the Realism game mode effects, such as no bloom around the rest of the team, less damage to infect beyond head shots and instant kill witches. Spawning as a jockey in this mode is great fun.

This thread is probably a little premature since anyone who actually has should be playing right now. Still, what you think?

So much for Valve's PC Favouritism. Hah.

Bill. You find him slumped against a generator in the final, which is a collect the gas cans type final like Dead Center. From what I hear they couldn't get the voice actor to do the part so I doubt it'll change with multiple play thoughs.

R.I.P...

Well, at least one of my brothers won't be upset. The two most likely to die just happened to be the pair they always play as.

Thank goodness I always went with Zoey.

Nick's line in the tattoo parlor is killer.

overall it's decent, it'll take about 40-50 minutes to finish, and it wasn't exactly what I was expecting. I guess I was hoping for more co-op with the original survivors. but I will say that takes go down quick with 7 shooters instead of 4.

R.I.P Bill, though it looks like Louis had a bad day too.

There is a reason spoiler tags were invented.

Yeah, I read on the wiki he's... damaged his legs or something?

Dammit I hate not having Live <_< And my brothers are the ones getting The Passing, so I'll have to (I can't believe I'm saying this) try convincing them to let me use their system to play it...

I played through it first time on advanced with my friend.

Was a good laugh tbh, I've stayed away from Versus until now and it seems that there's bots for Smokers, Boomers, etc.

It's an alright Campaign, could've done with another level though. Not sure if these new items cross over to the other campaigns yet though.

Mutations seems alright, can't wait to give Chainsaw Massacre a try though...
