January. They're expecting the SDK to do their work form them. More like Team4Fortress.

eh i don't really give 2 shits about the campaign mode so the fact that the other two scenarios are finally getting put in versus makes me more than happy. as for the delay, that just blows.

Already knew a few weeks ago that there wouldn't be any new content. The fact that they're pushing VS versions of DA and DT for the umpteenth time is ridiculous.

Fucking console nubs, this game should've been a PC exclusive.

I enjoy the game enough, but with only 4 campaigns and no new ones, its going to wear itself out fast with me.

it doesnt say anything about consoles, where you do guys get the idea thats the reason for delay? to illustrate, TF2 for PC got its DLC months ago - xbox however still doesnt.

in case you were wondering, its valve. how often have they delayed HL2, Ep1, Ep2, and .. well.. any project? that was before those were ported.

they just want it to be 100%. better that they take their time than that it needs 20 patches afterwards :up:



pre-edit, btw i dont see anything abuot 'delayed'. im pretty sure theyve always said 'beginning of 2009', they never had a set date did they?

There was a lot of "DLC out before Christmas", "DLC arriving within a week", and "DLC coming soon!" I don't mind that they're taking the time to polish things, but stop setting dates just to delay them :mad:

Hi, a newbie here.
Thanks in advance.
Below is just my silly thought.

If this kind of delay will continue to be accumulated, apparently the total number of games you hardcore gamers would play in your short life would decrease.
For example you might not be able to play L4D4 in the end.

eh... valve is a relatively small dev as far as big titles go. it takes them lots of time to do anything. adding console versions of games just increases that

I tried them in their unaltered, unoptimised state. They're not that much fun really.

Once Dead Air has been tweaked properly for VS mode, it'll be a blast i'm sure.

I play NM almost every day in VS and i'm still not bored of it. I reckon that will be the DM6 of L4D.

lol took the words right out of my mouth. was about to post that NM is the new dm6 a few hours ago but got distracted watching screw attack videos on gametrailers :p

also, it is still possible to blame the xbox for the "delay" of the rest of the finished game (seriously all four campaigns should've been available at launch for versus mode). aren't they trying to release the "DLC" at the same time for both platforms? there's a lot more work and red tape involved when it comes to pushing out a patch and/or DLC for the xbox.

survival mode will probably just be nazi zombies from cod:waw, just without the nazi part.

Survival is mp based. It will probably be better than versus. Not sure how you guys can play that wank shit.
