Left 4 Dead receives mysterious update on Xbox 360

Joystiq reports: "Left 4 Dead has received an update on Xbox 360, which ... actually, we haven't a clue as to what it did. We've contacted Valve for details regarding the inoculation. Perhaps Valve's statistics have revealed a few nasty cheaters that need to be squished.

We really don't know, but we'll update when Valve gets back to us with exquisitely detailed patch notes. You've "refined the ambient shading algorithms?" Fantastic! Tell us more."

It disables mods and the like. But not the zombies moving stuff exploit.
We need the other 2 campaigns to online.

2 - mabye they got rid of that cart near the elevator

not that it's a common occurrence to most people. Valve's a great company, so I would imagine that they don't like to patch things up when they can.

If you mean 'patched' as in first having to download the patch then also install it you are right, it doesn't. Most updates don't take more than 3-4 seconds to install and use. Imagine that! As long as the patches add things instead of taking things away, like the Home chat downgrade, I don't see the problem. =)

I love how people refer to home as if it were a game. Nice try Jenzo.

Let's see, you control a "character", you do "stuff" and you "grope" girls....sounds like a JRPG to me.

How can we cheat on a 360 game? Enlighten me.
@disagrees: This is not sarcasm, idiots.

It's actually called exploiting, hence cheating means hacking.

Get a life.

I never came across this cheating stuff, but updates are always nice. Glad to see dedicated console servers too. We need as much of that as we can get.

Someone needs to send an update to valve. All the cheats and exploits I know about still work.

if you have got an HDTV the graphics dont suck as much. they are greatly improved compared to SDTV viewing. as a buyer of this game i recomend you and your freinds to buy this game as you will have loads of good ol ''FUN'' GAMING.

8 PLAYER VERSUS IS VERY GOOD IMO. WITH 4 PLAYER TAKING THE HUMAN PLAYERS. another 4 taking the role of the bosses so to speak (a hunter, a smoker, a boomer and a special one called the tank) the 4 zombie players are acompionied by the full hordes of zombies meaning no play through is the exactly the same. the thrill of running through hospitals with a hundred zombies SPRINTING after you will make you know that you done the right thing and bought the game. yes graphics do look like the 1-2 wave of games to be out for the consoles BUT!! gameplay none the less wins the day this time around.

i hope this quick review will give you an insode to what you can expect as you are missing out on few games that do what this game does so good.

graphics 6.5
gameplay 9.5

thanks for your time.
