No it didnt.

You mean the TF2 update?

This a L4D thread so that's what I meant. Not sure about TF2.

Finally the 360 update.

They released an update to fix problems, but there isn't any dl content released yet.

I know, but I'm just glad the patch came out, playing as infected on VS mode used to be a nightmare when most people figured out glitches such as being able to shove a hunter which made it unable to pounce on a survivor.

Damn they got rid of it that one was a pretty fun glitch had some good times with it.

=(

Hope they didn't get rid of the "Jesus room" too.

True... though I wonder if you can still startle a witch as an infected to send her after one of the survivors. That's always fun, whether she kills you in the process or not.

List of items the patch fixes:

General
Fixed Survivors being able to climb surfaces marked for versus infected only
Fixed a class of SurvivorBot bugs dealing with rescuing downed players
Players can no longer grab ladders while flying through the air after a Tank punch
Shooting near a car with an alarm that has already fired the alarm will no longer make chirping noises
Fixed mini-gun physics exploit
Fixed propane tanks (and other physics objects) causing players to fall through elevators
Fixed rare achievement bug issues
Fixed several map exploits

Versus Changes
Added HUD elements to show status of other infected players
Fixed instance where a Survivor changing to the infected team would be attacked by infected bots
Normalized special infected melee damage
Fixed exploit where infected players could run away and teleport back to gain health
Players can only change teams once per map
Players can't change teams while other players are still loading
Tank spawns at the same % through the map for both teams in versus mode
Made the Tank and Witch spawn directly on the escape route
Increased chance of getting the Tank or Witch
Fixed team swap issue

Hunter
Easier to pounce a Survivor who is meleeing
Increased Minimum damage a Hunter pounce does

Smoker
Fixed Smoker tongue tolerance
Smoker now has to be killed or the tongue destroyed for the tongue to break
Survivors cannot bash someone off the tongue until the Survivor being pulled is paralyzed or hanging
Tongue attacks that fail to paralyze or hang a Survivor will use the shorter ability delay timer
Fixed cases where the ability timer was not using the correct time
Fixed case where you could point at a Survivor but not register a tongue hit
Fixed Smoker tongue not targeting and landing properly through PZ ghosts
Smoker tongue does damage every second while dragging paralyzed Survivors

Tank
Bashable objects now appear with a red glow
Tanks hitting a car with an alarm disables the alarm permanently
Tank frustration timer is only reset by hitting Survivors with rocks or fists
Reduced autoshotgun damage against Tanks

Witch
Witch spawns at the same % through the map for both teams
Avoids spawning within a certain % of the tank
Fixed an exploit where the Witch could be woken up and tricked into attacking Survivors

Also I got the barf bagged achievement today, RP best place to get it is the elevator segment of Mercy hospital.

Well, I guess that answers the question from my last post..
Oh well. It was a pretty cheap tactic I'll admit, so I guess it was for the best.

Awesome! Thanks, I'll have to give it a try sometime.

Also, do you happen to know/remember the best place to get Jump Shot, and if so, what weapon? I've tried head-shotting a Hunter with the sniper rifle numerous times now, and it doesn't seem to be of anymore help than the shotgun/auto-shotgun, and they pounce on me too fast for me to be able to aim at their head while zooming (as they're in mid-air). 😬
And if I'm unlucky enough, Bill will just kill the nearby Hunter before I get a chance to head-shot it anyway haermm, but at least I got Man vs Tank now... which I did by setting one on fire and seeing if I could run/hide long enough until it killed over and died, and alas. It worked. Wish I had thought of that way earlier.

Zoey I wouldn't mind seeing 😖hifty:, but the rest...... no thanks.

And yeah. I'm pretty damn sure that the update's gonna be free.

Not going to really go much into detail here about it, but it was Zoey and it was horribly done yet insanely funny.

Didn't we all? 😛

Ahh Louis he just loves being shot.

Why are they releasing a lame ass survivor mode instead of new map packs?

Why is it lame?

It sounds great. It's going to extremely tough.

It just seems like a better idea to release new map packs in the first DLC set and save the survivor mode for the second wave. It's probably just me. Survivor modes have always seemed pointless to me. For a game that has such a heavy arcade feel, a survivor mode seems redundant. Again, that's probably just me. I hate survivor modes but i can't complain, especially if it's free. I'm just an impatient ass that wants more campaigns.

Survivor mode would totally work for an arcade game like this. After reading previews where you get countless attack by everything, including two tanks at the same time. It seems like a perfect match. Just think, every single zombie movie usually has some sort of defensive structure to it.

Two tanks at the same time? Wow.. Hopefully I'll end up playing that enough to get Zombie Genocidest one of these days.

Yeah, the writers of the article said they got 2 tanks and a couple of other special zombies at the same time and the guys at Valve only lasted to about 9 minutes.
