Lone Gunman, Did you Win, Do you rock?

Lone Gunman
You and your Magnum against the deadly horde and Boomers.
So you have your Magnum pistol and… well you do have your Magnum pistol. You better be counting bullets because four swipes by a common and you are dead. Getting boomed? Forget about it.

Did you win?
Last week we asked - Do you consider that you won the Campaign when you sacrifice yourself to restart the generator or did you just sacrifice yourself so your team won? Is it individual or team glory?

68% of you consider it a team victory and 32% of you believe you lost. For the 32% that either means you never go yourself or you really are a team player. This is one of those questions where we assumed the answer would have been closer to 95% of the people choosing you won. So if you have time, explain your votes in the forums or on our Facebook pages.

Do you rock?
With two Midnight Riders songs on Rock Band, have you ever played any of the Midnight Rider songs?

Next week: Bleed Out Versus

Hunting Party, Comics Going Mobile, Did you Win?

Hunting Party
Nothing but Hunters on the prowl.
In this Coop Mutation we pit you against non-stop hunters. No booms, no spit, no tongues, no charges, no being ridden… Great practice on dead stopping a hunter pounce.

The Sacrifice comic has gone mobile.
The Sacrifice is now available on the iPhone and iPad.

How do you get it?
Go to the App store on your iphone/ipad.
Download the Comixology app (be sure to get the one that says “Comics” not “Pull List”)
Use the search engine to find Left 4 Dead.
Download for Free! When it is finished, go to bottom of the U.I. and you will find it in “my comics”.
Thanks to everyone at Comixology for getting this up.

We also added a zip file on the comic's extra page that contains all the panels with the words and SFX removed. This way you can create your own story or translate The Sacrifice to a language other than English or just make Zoey say all those things you’ve been hoping she would.

Did you win?
You get to the end of the Sacrifice. You and three friends are on the bridge and someone needs to jump down. You offer to do it yourself, so you jump down, restart the generator and save the team.

Do you consider that you won the Campaign or did you just sacrifice yourself so your team won?

Next week – Lone Gunman

Monday Sacrifice Update

October 4, 2010 - L4D Team

The big surprise today is… there is no surprise and no that isn’t one of Gabe’s three surprises. We have moved today’s surprise to Wednesday. We moved the announcement of the Midnight Rider’s contest winners to today. For tomorrow, we have enlisted an old friend to help with that announcement.

With that cleared up, here are the winners of the Midnight Rider’s Video contest. Thanks to everyone who entered, viewed and voted. When we originally designed this contest, we expected maybe a handful of clear winners. Instead we had over 80 videos that made it into the final round of voting.

With so many great entries, picking the winners was near impossible. As we tried to tabulate the votes today, they kept coming up too close to call. We checked and rechecked the votes. We used abacuses, calculators, and even plotted the results using the stars.

No matter how we sliced it, it was a tie.

But we had a problem, only one guitar and the Riders nowhere to be found. So we dug through their tour bus, through crates, boxes, and too many cans of diet energy drink to count. And there it was, a little more worn than the other, even looked like it been used for more than just rocking. But now we have one nice clean guitar and one dirty bloody guitar.
