Left 4 Dead Comes To Mac, Goes Cheap

Mac owners can start “grabbin’ peels” today with the arrival of the original Left 4 Dead, which Valve has released via Steam. To celebrate the latest Windows-to-Mac port, Left 4 Dead is now 50% off. But wait, there’s more!

In addition to Mac support for Left 4 Dead—delivered kind of on time, no less—Valve has also made the following updates.

In Versus mode Tanks will spawn in stasis until a human player takes over. Tanks in stasis are invisible and invulnerable, and won’t move or attack

Tank speed is no longer reduced when on fire

Allow players on the Infected team to manually spawn during finales

Added a vote option toggle All-Talk

Any Special Infected that causes a Survivor to stumble into a “ledge hang” situation will receive 50 points

Bullets that first pass through an infected character before striking a Survivor are now ignored as friendly fire

In Versus mode car alarms will now trigger anytime a Special Infected pulls or stumbles a Survivor into an alarm car

Protected console commands that can be used to lag or crash servers
