Now I know what you’re all thinking. Why would this crazy writer put up a picture of the original Left 4 Dead cast when CLEARLY this new DLC is for Left 4 Dead 2. Well my friends, if you bare with me, there is a reason for my insanity.
Valve has dropped the details on The Passing, the first DLC for its Game Of The Year nominee Left 4 Dead 2 and the new content will feature the return of Bill, Zoey, Lois and Francis! Now, before we all get excited and start fighting about who gets to be Bill, I should inform you that players will still be playing with Coach, Ellis, Rochelle and Nick, but will be crossing paths with the old crew at some point in the new campaign. The nature of the crossing is currently unknown but honestly does it really matter? Seeing the old crew in any way, shape, or form will be epic and bring back nostalgic memories of Bill and Francis bickering at each other while holding back a Tank and a legion of the undead.
Anyway, I digress; the DLC will bring more to the table then just a new mission, which for the record takes place between Dead Center and Dark Carnival. The pack will also include a new Uncommon Infected, new Survival, Scavenge and Versus maps, a new co-op mode (currently a complete mystery), a new firearm AND a new melee weapon to play with. All this will be coming in Spring 2010 to Xbox 360 and Steam.
Now, after reading this, can fans find a reason not to drool a bit? I certainly can’t and with Valve being the Santa Claus of video game developers the odds are PC gamers will get this free and Xbox 360 owns will probably have to pay a small fee. We’ll of course keep you posted as more details emerge.
Sweet! But sins thay are imune i dont think thay have bin zimbie efied yet. Unles the govermet decided to have them executed due to the fact that thay are imune but still carrie it. And fuck!

Just the sight of bill using a melee weapon makes me laugh. What is HE going to use, a CANE?
Wonder how they are going to cross paths with each other and to see if the old crew looks different is my question…. MajorDude421Quote
Would be even more awesome if they also created an alternative The Passing for the original L4D, where we get to play as B.F.Z.L. and meet these other 4 wankers. boysangurQuote
I wish they would fix Versus mode. Add a ranking system so there can be penalties for rage quitting or team killing. AdamQuote
