Left 4 Dead 1 DLC Brings New Campaign: Free on PC, Paid on Xbox 360

Having already promised additional downloadable content for the original Left 4 Dead, developer Valve today announced that a new campaign entitled "Crash Course" will be released for the cooperative zombie shooter in September.

The downloadable add-on will be available to owners of the PC version at no cost, with Xbox 360 players needing to pony up 560 Microsoft Points ($7) for the experience.

"New locations, new dialogue from the original cast, and an explosive finale" were promised, with Valve noting that the download--meant to bridge the gap between the existing "No Mercy" and "Death Toll" campaigns--will also pack new Survival maps alongside the new single and multiplayer campaign.

"The primary goal of 'Crash' is to deliver a complete Versus mode experience in just 30 minutes, resulting in a streamlined version of the game's existing Versus campaigns," the company explained. "A recharge timer for infected teammates has also been added, and item spawn behavior has changed for more balanced gameplay."

"We're working with the fans toward the ongoing entertainment value of the product," said Valve founder Gabe Newell.

Though the controversial sequel to Left 4 Dead, appropriately titled Left 4 Dead 2, is due to hit PC and Xbox 360 on November 17, the studio has previously pledged that it will "keep supporting Left 4 Dead 1" and hopes that once "everyone's had time to see the complete product of Left 4 Dead 2 and see continued support for Left 4 Dead 1, they may sort of see what we were up to and what the method of our madness was."

I was looking forward to this until i saw PC = Free and XBox = Pay

My thoughts also. I guess I'll just wait until L4D2.

Re: Left 4 Dead 2 (360/PC)

I'll get it and play the heck out of it, but I wish there was a way to make it equal in terms of cost on both PC and 360. Not really fair to us 360 owners. Hopefully Valve can figure out a better solution for DLC for Left 4 Dead 2.

Re: Left 4 Dead 2 (360/PC)

Nice. I'll buy them. I might play some L4D tonight.

Doesn't it all come down to Microsoft though?

yeah it does, I'm just hoping somehow, some way that Valve can figure out a way to get us the same content for the same price (re: free) as the PC users. If they can't, they should at least release like a week or two earlier for us, throw us some kind of bone, you know?

MS is all kinds of awful with DLC. Companies are only allowed a certain free to paid DLC ratio, and the only way DLC can be free is if it doesn't add to the achievement total. I don't remember the last time they had a huge sponsor on a DLC they'd otherwise charge for.

The PC is an open platform, and numerous publishers provide free DLC after the fact. Even evil Activision gave the same $10 CoD:WaW DLC free to the PC users. The games almost always release cheaper than $60 as well, and the L4D community finally have been able to make custom maps.

Still the $7 price is likely from Valve pushing MS for it.

Re: Left 4 Dead 2 (360/PC)

Sucks, but I'll pay the $7 for the new maps. Love L4D. Haven't played in a while, may fire it up tonight.
