Just about a year after the oh, so popular public beta of this custom campaign and just in time for The Sacrifice release, we get the first one-vpk-final release.
The Left 4 Dead servers will be updated in the upcoming days.

The last 8 hours nothing has been downloaded. Valve claims that they have fixed the problem with the servers, but as long as the update servers are swamped we can’t expect any miracles.
Left 4 Dead 2 seems to be working and all servers are up and running.
UPDATE: The Left 4 Dead servers are up again, finally, but both SourceMod and MetaMod have been disabled for the time being. More info here.
All servers updated, but l4d seems to be completely broken after the patch with endless segmentation faults. The left 4 dead 2 servers seem to fill up with people now.
You can read the comic while you wait.
The new prequel to the passing is coming for both Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2. In Left 4 Dead 2 we finally get to play with Zoey!
The great add-on campaign Dead before Dawn that was released as a public beta last year, has made some progress. No release date has been set though.
Yes there will be a .vpk-file release (finally). Unfortunately they will finish it up for Left 4 Dead first and then start porting it to Left 4 Dead 2. I really feel that they should devote the time and energy to port it right away, since Left 4 Dead feels more and more dated each time you play the sequel. That said I still will dust of Left 4 Dead in order to play this campaign.

Read all about it here.
All servers have received an update to Metamod 1.8.2 and sourcemod 1.3.3.

I so want a collection of these – something for the kids?
For you puzzlers out there we have added the new version of Silent Hill 1 (v7.1). Freshly from l4dmaps. Earlier versions didn’t want to play nicely with dedicated servers, but this one starts up OK, although I haven’t played it through yet.
Did a little test run with =TheHulk= Verminator tonight and made it about half way through the second map without noticable glitches. Looks like a creative and creepy campaign.
