As we all know, a new Left 4 Dead 2 DLC is comeing. "The Passing".
The Passing Will Feature all eight Survivors, a new meelee weapon, and a new uncommon common infected. There will be 8 player co-op, but 8v8 will not be a reality. So bottom line, you get to see Zoey get Humped by a Jockey. There will be more updates soon.

Proof on the 8-player co-op?

Not that I'm calling you out, but I'd like to see something official, as last I heard the original survivors were non-playable.

**NisseP** · 01-10-10, 04:50 PM

Yep, Valve said they were non-playable...

There is no proof of 8 player Co-op, don't get peoples hopes up

Im hoping for (though i doubt it would come true)

A NM campaign, but played by the L4D2 survivors.
trying to make it to the helicopter, but taking a new path, like in the first chapter you take rooftops instead of the street,

and the Finale would be a rolling finale like TP5, where your racing up to the top of the hospital and reach the rooftop just in time to hitch a ride with the L4d1 survivors

i know the screws with the L4D time line.

Hunter, Boomer, Smoker, Charger, Spitter, Jockey..... 6 infected. Unless they make 2 new S.I. the 8vs8 doesn't sound real. Besides, if they wanted to make the old 4 survivors for the other 5 compaigns they would have to come up with lots of sound files for the lines they would say in each part of the map... possible but I don't think Valve is doing it for free.

Regards your edit threadstarter - there's nothing there that suggests 8-player co-op.

Hang on.... the ending of the passing is bugging me.... because they will escape with the same same vehicle they entered with (the cars at the start of dead carnival) better not just remake hard rain by gas collecting again

On the steam forums people were discussing something about how the Passing was to be an alternative to anything else, namely what would've happened if the L4D2 survivors took a different motorway exit before whispering oaks. That's why there is no mention of the Passing in DaC, its an alternate turn of events, named the Passing specifically as in the actual turn of events the survivors drive past the area they would've met the L4D survivors in.

Like I said, only read this on the steam forums, so no source to give, just what I've heard. So don't take this as complete fact.

So yeah, essentially, if this is the case they don't need to exit on the same vehicle again.

Valve already denied it. Still, server owners on the PC will still make it a reality, probably with extra Hunters/Smokers like in the original.
