Can somebody cite sources for this and add them as references? I don't doubt any of this, I've heard rumors of things like this to happen for a little while, but I still feel it would be a good idea to give references. - §tigma-231 ¤ ৳ here's a  hole  in my neighbourhood [ talk  ][ cont ] 04:59, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

According to articles from IGN and GamesRadar,Survival Mode starts out with NO zombies and the players are given a crapload of items to help holdout.The horde attack is started when a player uses the radio or something similar and never ends.There can be up to 3 smokers,a boomer,2-3 hunters,and 2 tanks at at time.The longest time Valve's staff has lasted is 9 minutes.--76.242.46.206 19:53, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

I've changed the release date from "Sometime before April 20th" to April 21st, since according to many sites over the past few days, Valve has now stated a confirmed release date for the DLC on the Xbox 360. Taking account that Valve has stated that the Xbox 360 version and PC DLC release would be simultaneous launch, I still assume it's on the same day.

I was just thinking not to long ago that they should add something like this. Granted my idea was a little different, but oh well. My idea takes place after Blood Harvest. They just got rescued by the military, and they start to relax at the base. About a day or two later, a humvee pulls just very quickly, and out jumps a bloodied soldier. He tells everyone there is a new kind of infected, a leader of sorts, and a huge wave is headed towards the base. Everyone gets in a huge rush to fortify the base, set up a perimeter and other defenses in prep for this attack. The Survivors find themselves having to fight along side a bunch of soldiers with new weapons, and a new type of infected. The Goal? Survive the attack, and see the light of day. But then again, they are releasing the ability to make your own maps, I am sure someone will make something similar. The part that makes it harder, is the zombies can break down almost every wall in the building, allowing them to flood through the barricades if not dispatched. You can repair them though, but you have to defend the people doing it, cause who can fight zombies and build a wall at the same time? Stoan04 13:27, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

that idea sounds abit too like call of duty world at war zombie mode to be honest i do like the mode of cod but i feel that l4d has that something special that makes itself a much more original game hence making a better game.So to make left 4 dead copy another game would just take that thing that make l4d special.Oh yeah cant wait for the dlc to come out might do abit of death toll and dead air scouting to figure good ambush points.Spygon 14:57, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * What if Valve had this idea in mind before Call of Duty: World at War came out? Besides, it's much more fitting for a game Left 4 Dead to have a mode like that, where there are actually zombies everywhere.  It feels like CoD: WaW just threw them in as a new, random gameplay element, to make up for the lack of other fun things in the game.  And note, I haven't actually played the game, but pretty much everyone I know likes Call of Duty 4 more.  Nazi Zombies?  Really? 15:14, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It is a bit like Nazi Zombies, and yea I have played both, but I did have the idea long before I played Nazi Zombies. Perhaps that is what the game style is going to be like in all the new Survivor maps. The description is kind of vague on what the mode is going to be like. Stoan04 19:50, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

How do I get it?
It says that its been released today already but when I went on today the game wasn't updated at all, What gives? Is it coming out 7pm EST like previous valve updates?

I wonder what the new downloadable content is--User:TeriffiedToxic Brandy Bub 17:30, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Boycott
Remember when Valve announced that they were going to release L4D2? And in a few days, a pretty big boycott formed and demanded that Valve should be working on more downloadable content for ''Left 4 Dead? Well ''Valve said that they were still going to be supporting Left 4 Dead but all the news we've had of any DLC is The Passing, and that's for L4D2. My question is for everybody, has anybody heard news for a L4D1 DLC? Sabrelord 05:07, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Valve did give us Crash Course and The Last Stand before L4D2 came out. The Passing is going to combine everyone. While I would love infinite campaigns for both games, Valve has been pretty good about getting DLC out.Nightmirage 05:42, January 24, 2010 (UTC)Nightmirage

WHOA. Epiphone....
If The Passing contains the survivors from BOTH L4D and L4D2, then isn't it possible to make it a DLC for BOTH games?--Master of cheeZ 21:11, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
