-Play any of the 10 (so far released) campaigns
-Play any of the 8 survivors, regardless of campaign
-All Special Infected in all campaigns
-All weapons in all campaigns
-Director causes various things to change in L4D1 campaigns, just like in L4D2 cmapaigns.
Requires to have both games installed and linked to your Steam account, of course. But certainly would be an awesome "reward" to those who own both games.
Only issue would be that new dialogue would need to be recorded for all survivors (so they can speak with any of the survivors, as well as react to the differences in each game's campaigns).
C'mon. Do it, Valve.

I was thinking more of it being a patch to each game, that would be "unlocked" if you had both games. :p

I would gladly take it as a free DLC, if it included the following:
-Play any of the 10 (so far released) campaigns
-Play any of the 8 survivors, regardless of campaign
-All weapons in all campaigns
For me, it would be sufficient.
Should not be hard to realize from a technical standpoint, so not that much work would be required from Valve, therefore justifying it being free DLC for owners of both games (such as me, for example).
The other two points would probably be more difficult to realize, but the short list I've given above should be a matter of two-three weeks worth of programmers work plus additional two-three weeks for QA team - and it would be a great bonus for those that have bought both L4Ds.

This would be a nice thank you for all the people irritated that the newer game was rolled out so quickly for a typical Valve title.

Why don't they just wait for the DLC of it instead. They always feel so entitled to free stuff.
/tongue-in-cheek
Was waiting for this to happen, amazed it didn't happen sooner.
I'm still amazed at the Portal gun in HL2. Though I'm not sure which method is dirtier. This one seems like it needs a bit more effort. Which is kinda odd considering they games are on an identical branch of Source compared to HL2 n Portal being on separate branches. (even Gmod doesn't have Portal support yet)

Left 4 Dead bought, first PC game bought since... ye gods, Titan Quest?
See you guys on steam if I can figure out how to make it work.

No system is undefeatable.
Again, check back in six months for some exploits. : )

The GameCube went years without people being able to run burned software on it too, no one remembers that.

Everyone has some moral high horse about stuff like this and i'm sure a very large percentage of them can't say they've never downloaded anything ever "illegally" whether it be music, a video or anything else. Give it a rest, until you follow the law down to the letter then you really have to be quiet.

Fact: If the PSPGo gets hacked, it won't be long before pirated games are being played on it and if that happens then shit turns bad sooo, unfortunately for homebrew, the best thing to have is a non-hackable system because it'll mean a lack of support from both Sony and 3rd party devs if the Go can play pirated games. Peole are expressing their concern and intelligently realising that hacking the Go isn't a good idea for the average PSP owner.
What you need to do is think of the knock-on effects this can have and consideri the already weak (but strengthening) dev support.

I won't lie, people do tend to sicken me when they preach as though they've done nothing wrong, but the conversation isn't about their wrongs, assumptions of their wrongs, or speculation of hypocrisy. It's about the topic at hand and the finger should be pointed solely in that direction. You don’t have to be Ned Flanders to have an opinion about illegal activities.

Moral superiority is irrelevant when your argument is factually wrong.

Out of curiousity, what do you think about convicts or ex-convicts telling kids not to end up like them

I think they do enough on their own to ensure lack of support. Where's that umd transfer program again? haha.

What bothers me is when people claim an update "broke" some modded hardware and try to blame it on the company. Those people should know better than to update, plain and simple.

Even though I feel you are a Nintendo hating site. Thanks for finally being fair. You post Wii hack stories once every 4 months.
Good job on reporting this.
Like Billy Jean said
"Fair is Fair"
Most of you kids will not get that reference.

Since when does hacking = hating?

It's WhatCD from over at GN! Sup dood?
Now, to tackle your post.
Most of this 'omg nintendo hate' crap (and yeah, a lot of it is crap - and I mean no offense to you, I'm just tired of it myself) can be explained logically and reasonably instead of posting cop out responses along the vein of 'omgbias! haterz'. This is no exception.
Check the 'hacks' and 'mods' tags, bro. You'll find that the other consoles are pretty much posted on just as much.
Only reason the Wii's mods get posted as often as they do is because Wii hackers are getting further with the system than any console hackers have ever gone before - that's including the PSP (and also that Wii hackers seem to be a bit more vocal about what they're doing).
Wii hating site? : /

So none of those articles good old Luke post are Nintendo Hating at all. Come on now. Please pass the stuff you guys are smoking!
10/03/09
Hmm so 6 to 3 or 2 articles. Well I give you the Wii hackers are loud mouths, but Luke and other writers on this site. I have proven too many times. The rather post bad news then goods about Nintendo and the Wii.
10/03/09
anywhos, yeah, I'm just gonna come out and say it - no, none, or at least not as many as you would suggest, are straight up 'Nintendo hating', unless there was a reason to post an article that may be negatively construed in the first place. Considering that around GN, any article that isn't one hundred thousand percent positive regarding anything Nintendo is suddenly 'hating'... well, you know I'm exaggerating, but since the beginning of this gen, especially in the minds of Ninty fans, the bar for 'hating' has been lowered. I'm not saying there isn't a lot of idiotic or unjust hatred out there, but it seems like it's given you guys an excuse to claim that any and everything is hating these days.
Like this article, or articles like them, for example. Apparently, Wii hacking articles are a sign of hate, so therefore I can conclude that Owen Good clearly hates the PSP, and that he's posting to keep the poor console down, right?... or maybe, just maybe, the kinds of hacking developments that get posted have more to do with their noteworthiness or how loud that particular hacking community tends to be?
This also applies to your other post - hacking news isn't 'hating' like you seem to think it is. In fact, a lot of the articles here aren't 'hating', and again, can in fact be explained reasonably.
Remember that 'Nintendo from '89 to '2009' article that you and a bunch of other guys from GN claimed was totally biased and unfair, simply on the basis that they hadn't made a similar sort of article about companies that haven't been in gaming near as long as Ninty has?
yyyyyeeeeeeeeah

Not every single person who cracks open their psp/wii/xbox360/ps3/etc. is trying to stick it to the man by saving money through piracy or damage the company who made the thing.

Dark Alex seems to have given up, he's already said that there's no plans for a newer M33 firmware version. I had to change over to GEN firmware because I wanted to be able to access the PS store and remote play again.

There is something new about the firmware.
Namely the support for games with 5.55 or 6.00 Kernel.Can't play those on Dark Alex old Firmware.
