    Left 4 Dead Survival Pack due out tomorrow (4/21).

    If you were a zombie and I had to kill you, I'd feel sad.

    Valve revealed a few more details on Survival Mode to IGN yesterday. At the beginning of a match, players gather up equipment and get into position before then alerting the Horde (by flipping a switch or whatever, much like a few moments from the retail campaigns). Then, waves upon waves of zombies will descend upon you. To make things really interesting, you'll even get multiple boss zombies attacking. It's possible that the game could even throw two Tanks at you.

    The objective of Survival Mode is to survive as long as possible - there ain't no escape. The record for survival among Valve employees is apparently nine minutes. Sounds like a quick and dirty alternative to the 45 minute-1 hour long campaigns

    Really?! I had thought it was going to be a for-sale expansion pack. This is truly excellent news, then.

    Played my first Survival mode just now. Intense! My pug team only lasted 4.5 minutes.

    Try schnauzers instead of pugs.

    Had a great time tonight. This is tough! Very tough! Fax, Brorlis, Hylander and I only managed 3 minutes 15 seconds on our best try.

    Man that is rough. A blast, and very frustrating at the same time. Nuts - you'll have this figured out by tomorrow night, right?
