Today when i opened steam I started Left 4 Dead and noticed a patch. Excited I checked the update news and noticed that the new Survival Pack was out. Needless to say I was overjoyed, having purchased the game on the day of its release and patiently grinding the same 4 missions over and over and over again waiting for the new content Valve has promised us since the beginning. I was ready for more maps and the patch notes said it would deliver. 16 new maps! it claimed and I almost did a back flip. Who could have hoped! Of course when I logged in I found that the 16 "new maps" were chopped down versions of the old ones for Versus and the new Survival Mode. DECEIVED! LIED TO! They promised more maps and the only new scenery comes from the ONE map you can ONLY play on survival mode! I was enraged further to find that the SDK is not yet available either. I feel like all the patience I and the other faithful Left 4 Dead players has been rewarded with a dismissive gesture from Valve. I understand that making new content is difficult and I'm sure Survival Mode will bring us plenty of hours of gameplay. I simply think its a crime to advertise 16 new maps when in reality we get hardly anything map wise.
Valve slaps L4D players in the face with new DLC

16 maps? Umm...they will come but the survival pack was the first DLC. Originally, it was supposed to be in the game already.
well its free so i see no big idea now if you payed moneys for this map pack i would be having a fir but survival mode probably makes up for it idk i cant play it cuz my pc is crap.
Exactly! For shit sake, you just can't please anyone.Internet Kraken said:
New Versus maps, the killer survival mode, and I'm pretty sure a new difficulty (From what I hear), and it's FREE and people still *****.
Man, just enjoy the game. Valve doesn't owe you a thing.
*ahem*
QQ.
That is all.
No one's making you play the new content, and you're free to boycott it if you really feel that cheated about it.

Seconded. And we already knew that the SDK was not coming out with the patch, but it is coming SOON. That's what the blog said. So don't get your panties in a bunch, it's on the way, m'kay?Internet Kraken said:
Besides, it's FREE ADDITIONAL CONTENT. Why do you complain about this? It's like being handed a free cookie, and then complaining because it isn't the kind of cookie you like.
At least it wasn't like the Halo map packs. You pay ten dollars for three unintuitive and boring maps.
Even the upcoming Mystic Map Pack.

OMG, what is this, free content, well then it must shin like platinum to even be able to grace my presence. Geez, their managing this and Team Fortress 2 updates. Give them a break man.
Finally!! I have the chance of saying it! I thought this day would never come but...
Want me to call the Whambulance for you? Oh oh oh...urg....
Its Free!!!!They didnt promise new maps! They said "A new game mode and Death Toll and Dead Air for Versus."
Also whats worst? Buy horse armour for Oblivion or get free game mode for L4D.
I dont know about you but I'm going with the dudes that give me free stuff, and not "Hey pay stuff that modders do all the time!!!"
