It's alright, but its just too damn hard to do much better than bronze.
I submit that the difficulty of L4D depends entirely on how good your teamates are. Has this changed in this new mode, or did you solo it up?
One AI as a blank slate for a friend to join, 1 friend who was good enough to weather a campaign on expert, one who beat all campaigns on Expert and got the 53000 kills achievement, and me who is okay (but I don't like L4D much, so therefore, I don't play enough to develop skill), and we still couldn't survive for more than 5 minutes.

Difficulty=They send in a tank every 45 seconds or so...

Damn you Xbox players, I'm still waiting for the PC version to appear, and it's 22:16 in my part of the world (Ireland). (*Shakes fist at passing Americans*) You and your time zones!

To be honest though, I think the SDK pack is going to be the biggest thing to come out of this, so we're going to have to wait a while before some fresh levels start appearing and we really see the benefits.

Sure have. I really like it, and you can't beat the price. Survival mode is really challenging, which is great.

True but the new survior mode is something else. Just to get a bronze medal, you have to survie for 4 minutes; and usally by minute 2 you get 5 hunters 3 smokers and 2 tanks all attacking at F***ING ONCE!!!!

It is according to Kotaku.

It is and isn't. XBox has been released, PC hasn't

it does come out today, but Valve generally releases things at closing time, which is around 5 pacific.

Weird that valve released for XBox first, normally they're a couple months late with XBox content...

Want hard? Play Battletoads...That will make you scream like a little girl. Want harder? Try to pass the moving platform room with 3 flying medusas heads flying right at you all the time!! when you try to jump into those same moving platforms, in the original Castlevania.

Surviving 4 minutes of zombie onslaught is challenging. Now excuse me but the intermission of Flight 666 is almost over!

Thats Microsoft who released the patch not Valve, Microsoft releases their patch/DLC at a certain time.

Valve is also updating the server browsing for the PC version and they probably testing "oh crap!" patches, in case something happens.

Considering I played the game to death before Christmas, I suppose calling the DLC crap and boring would be unfair.

I tried it, and i think it's incredible.

The survivor mode is pretty hard but still fun.

Christ. Well, at least the people who bitched about the game being too easy before have no reason to complain anymore :D

I'm actually excited, as I think L4D will constantly get bigger and better, a la Team Fortress 2.

EDIT: They'll likely tweak the difficulty level pretty quickly, I'd imagine.

The survival mode is challenging. The best we've managed to do so far is get a silver medal on the hospital lift level. Eventually just hunters outnumbered us and 2 tanks were spawning every minute or so. It is great fun but not something you can play for hours on end.
