Updates to Left 4 Dead have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

Client

  • Removed an infinite ammo exploit for molotovs
  • The team swapping issue in Versus has been fixed

Add-on Campaign Support
  • Players download third party campaigns as single .VPK file
  • Players can manage and select add-on maps and campaigns via game UI
  • Added matchmaking support and download/update prompt for add-on campaigns
  • Custom campaign support in Leader boards
  • If not already registered, left4dead.exe registers .VPK extension to allow automatic install of add-ons
  • Servers and the steam API have been extended to allow servers to send up a list of keys for matchmaking up to 1200 bytes in size

Left 4 Dead Authoring Tools
  • Fixed missing fgd error
  • Added vpk.exe command line tool for extracting, creating, and appending .VPK files
  • Removed info_versus (not used)
  • Added info_gamemode which fires outputs for Coop, Versus or Survival depending on what game mode the map is loaded in
  • Updated tutorial_standards example map, repackaged as 'Dead Line' campaign example add-on
  • Sample content now includes source files for official maps

Basically valve put out the update I posted about last week.  Be on the look out for some custom map reviews soon.  Comml4d will be having some play testing for a new map that's being worked on head over to the link below to check out some beta screen shots and post if you are interested in play testing.

Also if you catch wind of any good quality custom campaigns feel free to let me know and I'd be more than happy to review them.
