The slow and steady march (undead, you might say) to release all of Left 4 Dead 1's maps into Left 4 Dead 2 continues, with Valve offering fans a chance to unlock the beta version of Blood Harvest early. So, how does it work? Simple: To unlock Blood Harvest, PC players simply have to help test a new version of Dead Air.
Specifically, players will be awarded an Achievement for completing an entire Versus game in Dead Air. Once sixty-thousand (60,000) players unlock the Achievement, Valve will unlock Blood Harvest on the following weekday. Be warned though, it must be a complete game, as Valve notes "you can't rage quit and you need to work together."
Remember that the next time you willingly allow a Jockey to ride off on your friend.

Sweet!!!! I love Blood Harvest.
*Two Days Pass*
It's unlocked!!!
Something I noticed about PC gamers. Gives us some challenge and everyone will jump on the ship to complete it.

Was it really necessary to bring a fanboy comment into this?

Was it really necessary to not get the reference, and with it the sarcasm?

Two days? Hell. It was probably finished before the 'Stiq posted up this article.

Some support for the 360 version would be appreciated Valve. Thanks.

Nope. It is Microsoft.
Microsoft charges for updates past three and caps how much data can be replaced.
In comparison, there is an update for Left 4 Dead 2 at least once a week. That would cost Valve, a lot of money, a lot.

Normally I'd be all over stuff like this, but I can't stand Versus. I only play co-op.

Versus is amazing. You are missing out big time...
Very team-centric versus mode....you have to try it out.

Versus is amazing. The people who play it, not so much.
One of the best modes I've played in a first-person shooter title, if not, the best mode. But it's full of rage-quitting trolls who smell like dirty e-peen. Not a place you want to take your children.

I haven't met many kids on the PC ver. of the game to be honest.
Rage Quiters? Yes indeed. It is filled with them but that is because the game has a lot of rage related things going on.
Every player plays important role on the team. If one person is an idiot, its pretty easy to rage.

They doing this again? The goal will probably be reached before the day I over.

Maybe I'll give Versus another try. Hopefully all the trolling vote kickers have gotten bored and moved on.

@birdizzle87 Yeah...I wouldn't make any bets on that. Your best bet is to convince some friends to play with you; Versus improves dramatically if everyone is playing for laughs.

cheevo is glitched. I played with 6 friends last night, and only two of us got it.
