My Thoughts On The L4D/L4D2 "The Sacrifice" DLC

I feel like this and my opinion(s) may differ from yours but this is what I think after playing it just now. It's an ok campaign. I loved playing with the old L4D characters but it was a bit short. Then again, I guess you really don't need like 4-5 maps to tell the story that left off in the L4D2 "The Passing" DLC. I feel it's best played on L4D2 more than L4D because you get the new Special Infected. Some of the achievements are something you more likely have to plan out to get or have your friends help in a private VS. game. I haven't played the "TAAANNNKK!" mutation but from what I saw from some of the broadcasters I watch on Justin.tv... It's a real bitch. Unless you're a pub then you may have a chance to survive to the safe room. One drawback I wish Valve did was allow you to play the L4D2 characters in the No Mercy campaign but I guess the community made map will have to do for me. Again, I'm not saying it's a bad DLC. It's ok for me.

 

Feel free to post your thoughts on it, PC/360 users.

A Hint In The Steam

If you seen the homepage of Steam, then you saw this little banner about how to join the new Steam UI beta and all the details. What I'm posting this is the Valve icon in there. If you been reading about it, Valve is supposed to be porting most of their games to the Mac with a Steam Mac client starting with Portal 2. What I'm wondering is is the icon a preview of what the Dock icon for Steam will look like?

With Valve announcing that a Mac client was coming in April, we Steam gamers have only 15 days, from today, left in this month. Steam even had a Mac beta signup page but not sure how they are picking people or even if they sent out "invites" for the Mac beta yet.

Steaming Your Mac

So, the rumors on Valve's Steam game client is that it'll be coming to the Mac soon. Steam released a client beta with a new 2.0-ish interface not too long ago which looks nice. There has been screenshots of Mac icons inside the Windows folder that contains all the Steam files. No one knows if it will be real or not but it's possible they are hinting at a Mac client.

The question is what will this mean for people why have Macs and have a separate Windows pc just for gaming? Well, I guess they will use it for other p.c. gaming. But That would mean no more having to use VMWare Fusion just to play Steam. They will now be able to play it naturally on their Macs without any issues. As someone who plays on Steam (mainly Team Fortress 2) I'm excited about a Mac client. In my opinion, they should of had one seeing as there's not many Mac games out there. I can see this as a huge plus for Valve.
