L4D Maps

Looks like the new multiplayer maps are out! I ended up on Dead Air this morning

Any idea when this happened or am I just massively behind the times?

[edit] The hell? I just had a look and they're not available to select

I blame the French.

An unofficial version of dead air versus has been out for a while, maybe they just changed it so you can actually join them easily through the normal method of joining a game

I managed to try one of the other maps and it's just the single player map so you don't get any of the special climbing bits so I wouldn't bother hunting them down

New survival mode is pretty interesting, so far 3 minutes or something is the best I've managed.

They're banned for being annoying.

I've got a bronze on the lighthouse one, about 5 or so minutes I think. The zombie hordes and specials do kick in something mental on survival mode, tried hospital lift, sewer bridge and that bit where you flip a switch on a roller door just after getting off the streets on the way to the hospital. The new map works quite well, the old ones go from manageable to fucking batshit crazy in about .5 of a second. Think we need to play some more of this again.

I think it should be left for mondays. *hides*

Okay, well I tried this and I must say, I'm impressed. It's a simple mode but it's a fucking uncontrollable chaos. High potential for shouty drunken night game.

Basic outlay: Waves come about every minute initially, slightly reduced every wave. Being vomited on also summons a minor wave. Every wave after wave 2 has a tank. At the 6th minute, two tanks spawn each wave. Bronze time is 4 minutes, silver is 7, I presume gold is 10.

My best so far is 6 minutes on Mercy Rooftop, and even that with three utterly retarded bots.

What is annoying though is that every wave can potentially lock you down. By the third wave you will probably see at least 3 smokers and 3 hunters, not to mention the tank and the boomers.

Very much this. It gets mental scarily quick. Expect me to scream like a little girl quite frequently whilst playing.

Played jumprope with three tanks on Blood Harvest final with my brother and now we are proud owners of a gold on it.
