It's really dumb to tell someone they can't complain about something that's free. But something that's obviously good, and better than most of the things in the same category that you have to pay for does not merit complaints, and I don't see how anything can be a slap in the face.
Something can never live up to your expectations if you intentionally raise them with things you make up.

Survival mode is for those masochists like me who enjoy games that either don't guarantee victory or even don't allow it. That's why I like to play PnP RPGs (where the expectation that victory should be inevitable is less widespread, but still around) and it's why Survival Mode sounds great.ssgt splatter said:
Survival mode appeals to those who love impossible odds, or want a more "hold out against the undead tide" feel that zombie movies often do. I and all my friends will love it like a baby loves its mother, since we all play the hold-out final stages more often than the whole campaigns anyway. It's cool if you don't like the game, but you should understand that Survival mode is only a punishment to you because your view of gaming - victory should always be possible - isn't the only one, and is in fact alien to a group that prizes bloody last stands over cakewalks.
(Man that sounded much more patronising than it was meant to. What I meant to say is your tastes are your own, but Survival is clearly made for a different type of gamer - one who'd love to die on a mound of his slain foes.)

They did indeed! You have no one else to blame but yoursef for not reading the WHOLE Press Release and not just the headlines.Vanguard1219 said:
Have you not been paying attention? Most people already knew exactly what was going to be in the update for a month or so now. We were explicitly told that the update would include: 2 Versus Maps, 1 new map (Lighthouse), and Survival mode which includes a number of crescendo moments in the other four maps.
Maybe I should change what I said cause I'm getting tired of justifying myself but I like a decient challenge to. Survior mode is just too unforgiving for me and about 24 other players that I played with that day. None of us could get past the 3 minute mark and they'll only give you a bronze medal if you hold out for 4 minutes.Saskwach said:
dude find sum better friends. me and my friend played yesterday with 2 random people and made it to 5 minutes on our second try and the world leaderboards are over 100 minutes in some levels. it might not be for everybody but some people like the challenge.ssgt splatter said:
Actually, valve always does that for their games. TF2 has had about 20-30 updates after its release.Internet Kraken said:
Random Story: One time a friend got a shot on one of the "Hosital Gown Infected" that sent him across the map into me. I was busy sniping with a hunting rifle, and suddenly my scope was filled with bare ass. I was less than pleased, and had nightmares for a week.mcgooch said:
On a more relevant note, my only grievance with this thread is that nobody really noticed that the OP's only posts on the entire forum were to start this thread, then giggle to himself when ppl defended Valve. I like valve a lot, but they're a big company, and wear big-boy pants. They don't need my defending.
Survival mode is the shizzy, I laughed my first time playing Last Stand on Lighthouse, and the poster said "It won't end well..." A tank came out and slapped me silly off the lighthouse. If it hit me a bit harder, I could've made it to the opposite coastline.

true, but what if you have a slow internet, like my dial-up speed internet?
Sure its free, but is it worth waiting days for the download to finish?
And since its downloading it will take up all the bandwith and I wouldn't be able to use the internet.
So I ask, would it be worth it?
I don't think we have the right to complain about something we got given for free.
At least they made an effort to give us something.
Better than nothing.

No kidding man, I want my 8 bucks back for the latest one. A bunch of Halo 2 maps that are just more corridor levels? Great, thanks a ton Bungie. God knows when I play Construct I always think, "Man, if only there was another level like this but with even more camping."TaborMallory said:
