News from Major Nelson’s blog indicates that the overdue expansion for Left 4 Dead 2: The Passing, will finally arrive tomorrow (22nd April). This will be charged at 560 M$ Points and free for PC, just like Left 4 Dead 1′s: Crash Course. Apparently 3 of the original survivors will play a role in this new expansion. Does that mean that one of them died… or maybe they will be a zombie boss?? Who knows, we will find out soon. Also, there will be two new game modes. One such game mode is called, ‘Mutations’. This new game mode offers up different rules each week and will create a bit more variety for online bouts. Here is a snipet from the official L4D blog -
The Passing also introduces a series of weekly game mode events dubbed “Mutations.” These week-long runs of new gameplay modes range from “Realism Versus” mode to “Chainsaw Massacre,” which gives all players chainsaws with an unlimited supply of gasoline. There are over 20 Mutations planned, each playable on all L4D2 Campaigns. Mutations are exclusively available to owners of “The Passing” DLC.
In addition, “The Passing” offers a new co-operative challenge mode of play, support for infected bot play in Versus, a new “uncommon common” zombie class (the fallen survivor), melee weapon (golf club), and firearm (M-60).
So, what do you guys think? Will you fork the cash over right away or wait for an inevitable sale?? I for one will try it out on the PC… I get in on there for… FREE!

As a quick update… I will be able to join the Friday and Saturday night sessions starting from June. Also, the wife an I are going to splash some cash on a 42″ Full HD TV. I love the fact that everyone want’s the LED TV’s now, means the LCD sets have dropped in price A LOT!
It looks like the common uncommmon infected is called ‘The Fallen Survivor’! What could this mean? That Louis comes back as a zombie… but how would that work as a common uncommon?? Looking forward to testing it out later.
ive downloaded it and played thru it and its awesome.well worth 560 ms points.the new uncommon infected r just random survivors who run away very fast if u shoot at them and drop things like health packs if u kill em.and i wont say anythin about which of the original survivors dies cos it will spoil it for u guys
