Additional Updates
A patch with a few minor matchmaking fixes will deploy shortly before the Survival Pack becomes available to download, some time this month or next. At an unspecified point thereafter, Valve will launch “matchmaking 2.0.” This will have more impact on Steam than 360, since Valve maintains the PC servers in-house and has mountains of data on rage quits to cull through. Chet was vague when pressed for details about the new matchmaking system, saying only that if you look at the game’s forums you can get a pretty good idea of what needs to be done. “We still play our games, and we want to keep them updated,” he stated. In case you hadn’t noticed, Valve is a shop that takes deep pride in the workmanship of its products.

There are no details as to what Matchmaking 2 is, but if its a whole new number then there must be pretty significant improvements. Its just what the game needs . Because the current system is awful... When it works its all you need. But thats not very often.

Edit: Oh also there's details and videos of survival mode. I figured the matchmaking was more important.

This month or next, meaning that the Survival Pack (and more importantly, Death Toll and Dead Air VS) aren't going to be here for at least another month...I think I'm going to cry.

Survival mode looks really good!

matchmaking is most likely going to suck, but hey!

I swear they said before launch they'd have a reputation system so you only play with people who allow like 4 stars or higher.

They removed that during playtesting because of the negative reaction from the playtesters

Spoiler (highlight to read):
Like most of the game it seems...
