Valve announces ‘Turning Silver into Gold’
It seems that wide speculation of Valve ‘ignoring’ the Xbox 360 customers has been greatly exaggerated. The Left 4 Dead team today announces that this weekend, Xbox live will be free, allowing all Left 4 Dead 2 players to play online, even if they simply have a ‘Silver’ account.
Here’s Valve’s exact wording:
For this weekend only, Microsoft is hosting a free multiplayer weekend for Left 4 Dead 2. What does this mean? You don’t need to have an Xbox Live Gold account to access Left 4 Dead 2’s multiplayer features. That’s right: You will be upgraded from Silver to Gold for free. You can go online alone or with a split-screen friend. This event starts at 5pm GMT Friday, January 15th and ends at 5pm on Sunday the 18th.In other news: We’ve just rolled out a new PC update that you can read more about here. Xbox 360 users should be seeing a console version of this same patch very soon.
Also, over the next few weeks, keep an eye on your favorite gaming web sites and magazines for new info on our upcoming DLC “The Passing”.
Be sure to make the most of your free online multiplayer experience this weekend. Have fun.

I want L4D2 as a writer back Lewis doesn’t post anything.
Believe it or not, I was here before Left4Dead2.org was sold. There isn’t much happening in the world of Left 4 Dead 2 right now.
Oh usually L4D2 posts even the smallest bits of news.
yeah, no offence, but even if it was the smallest bit of news, your just lazy, anyone agree?
Nah. I don’t think he’s lazy, I just think there isn’t any news.
Thanks – you’re right. I do look for news most days to post on the site, nothing has cropped up for a while. I’ll be posting like crazy once ‘The Passing’ is out though.
