PayDay / Mercy Hospital

just read this on Twitter...

PAYDAY Mercy Hospital, free DLC (PC) is out in eight hours! http://www.overkillsoftware.com/?p=869 Spread the word to your L4D friends who don't have Payday!

based on the time that the posted that Tweet, it should be out around 5:30pm UK time. It will also auto add to PayDay when they activate the new update.

There's a few screenshots at that link and such, but the premiss behind the mission is that someone has a rare virus in the hospital and there's a buyer who wants it... thats where we step in. Valve have said it's not a prequel to L4D, so this virus isn't what makes the zombies, but the description implies that it does, so will be fun just to play and find out what happens in the mission.

The Movie Poster L4D style image also suggests that they are dressed up in scrubs, so hopefully it'll mean that you need to sneak around the map before it kicks in, which should be interesting.

they also just posted this...

The Wolf Pack DLC which will hit PC & PS3 simultaneously is due out in a short while! So PS3 users will get new stuff too, soon!

doesn't say exactly when like the other but i imagine it'll be the same time, and if it is it sounds like it'll be a big update. I dunno what the wolf pack DLC is but i'm guessing it's the two extra maps and the new class. Quite looking forward to this now

could be interesting, i might even play at that

ooo that and the paid dlc together
v nice , jsut a pitty they happened to time it to miss the sale -_- lol

[Nagash]

think they planned it that way as they'll likley make more money this way. The sale will get randoms to buy it but randoms out for a cheap game are less likely to care about DLC's, they just want the cheap game. Now they are targetting the L4D fanbase, who i'm sure would love it to be on sale but would still buy the game even if it's not on sale.

something like that anyway.

if thats their plan it seems to be working somewhat because there is an announcement on their site somewhere saying what a success the sale was and that it's generated like 120,000 new players. good news tbh as they'll probably make more DLC's as a result, or put more effort into the sequel.

Well duh!

But as you said can only be good for them, when we played randoms were joining all the time , before sale no1 would join ever (or it felt that way)
