The game’s maps have been tweaked and improved, with specific changes made to areas and scenarios. In the patch notes, Valve also includes a few humorous comments, naming a swamp gator “Fred” by popular request, and making a joke about a “missing goat” in The Last Stand.
There are also some more serious balancing adjustments made to certain areas of the game, including the finale of The Last Stand. The Tank Run mode has also received minor tweaks and fixes.
In addition to the main game, fixes and changes have been implemented for L4D1 Co-op, Survival, and Versus modes. Valve says it’s listening to community feedback and implementing changes based on this feedback.
The community certainly seems happy with the update, while also voicing their desire for Left 4 Dead 3. Despite the enthusiasm, however, the likelihood of a Left 4 Dead 3 release remains uncertain, with Valve’s Gabe Newell saying “the chances are going to be low” back in March.
