Re: The Official LEFT 4 DEAD 2 thread (UPDATE: "The Passing" released NEXT WEEK!!)
The Passing introduces a series of weekly game mode events dubbed "Mutations." These are week-long runs of new gameplay modes that range from "Realism Versus" to "Chainsaw Massacre". Each week one new Mutation is featured and the previous Mutation retired.
Every Thursday the new in-game blog will let you know of the upcoming Mutation. Once a month we will have a poll to vote on your favorite Mutation. The winning Mutation will return the following week.
Our first Mutation is Realism Versus.
For this Mutation, Survivors have all the Realism changes working against them, no glows on items or survivors, tougher zombies, instant kill witches, etc. The Infected have all those changes working for them. This makes the Jockey one of the most powerful Specials for his ability to steer a Survivor out of view. You will want to make sure you have a working microphone so your teammates can hear your screams for help. This Mutation is only available in Versus.
Another example of an upcoming Mutation is Chainsaw Massacre. You are armed with the only thing you need to survive a Zombie Apocalypse: a chainsaw with unlimited gas. Rip apart thousands of zombies on your way to safety. This Mutation will be available later and only in Campaign Mode.
To learn about the other Mutations, you will have to check the in-game blog each week. What we can tell you now is the Mutations will cover different game modes and be available across all Campaigns.
To give us feedback on the individual Mutations and Mutations in general visit the Left 4 Dead 2 forums at forums.l4d.com.

UPDATE: This is NOT going to be a midnight release, according to a L4D2 DEV member I spoke to earlier.

Thrav, I didn't get a chance to jump on that game. I involuntarily crashed out. Between work & school, exhaustion beat me before I could even get to the zombies tonight. :\ passing out fail.
and the 360 just got the new update. The DLC isn't ready but it's nice to look at
Quick update: For those who did not originally pre-order the game, do you remember the BAT weapon they offered? Now it's widely available to anyone once this DLC kicks in for free.

Thrav, you're wrong. We don't call the shots on who dies. The Director AI does. In fact, the poster shows all four characters.
I'm playing the 360 edition as we speak and it will blow your mind.
For starters, this campaign is 3 maps. Yes, 3. Don't panic, because they are quite longer than an average map. New weapons, special infected, and items to find are nice.
The 1st map is a remembrance of the streets from Left 4 Dead 1 that's combined with apartments and HARD RAIN environments.
As for the BGM, it's very sweet and the new Midnight Rider song, "Save me some Sugar" is quite nice ^_^
Furthermore, seeing a Witch in a wedding dress is the freakiest thing yet.
