A new patch was released today for the Xbox 360 version of Left 4 Dead. The patch adds achievements as well as updates to the Infected HUD which allows you to view the special attack timer for everyone in your group. Definitely handy for planning those combo attacks.
The juiciest part of this story, however, comes to us via rumor. While the number of achievements has been increased from 50 to 60, both Joystiq and Kotaku are reporting some strange bugs with the system. Owen Good of Kotaku described the situation best:
“Curiously, the in-game achievements menu now reads “X of 60″ unlocked. Before this patch, there were 50 achievements. No names of these achievements or Gamerscore for them are yet available, but it seems the patch has reset the achievement flags in advance of adding new ones. I’m showing “1 of 60″ in the game’s achievement menu. In the dashboard, it shows me with 16 of 50. So something’s up here.”
This comes on the eve of the rumored release date for “Crash Course”, as well as the Game With Fame event with Paramore, which is supposedly one of the first opportunities to play the new story. However, this is all speculation; stay tuned to CFD! for updates on this and other stories.
