Greetings Dentie!

Valve made a very exciting Left 4 Dead announcement today:

Left 4 Dead Authoring Tools Beta Released!

Today we are opening the beta of the Left 4 Dead Authoring Tools to the public.
It is available as a free download for all owners of the PC version of Left 4 Dead, and can be found under the "Tools" tab in Steam.

The L4D Authoring Tools include modified versions of the same tools we used to produce Left 4 Dead.
Using the L4D Authoring Tools, you may create your own campaign maps, character skins, 3D models, sound effects, and music and load them into the game.

Just in time for the beta tools release, Left4DeadForums is excited to announce a new companion site dedicated to L4D custom content:
http://www.L4DFiles.com/

L4DFiles.com is dedicated to every type of Left 4 Dead custom content: mods, maps, campaigns, skins, sprays, sounds, plugins, config files and more.
Basically, anything in Left 4 Dead that can be tweaked, twisted, modded, customized, stylized, or changed is the purpose of this community.

Accordingly, one of the primary features of L4DFiles is the Downloads section.
Every L4DFiles member receives 500 MB of free storage space to share their creations with the Left 4 Dead community, as well as unlimited bandwidth.

Shame the 360 misses out on the amazing mods that could come from this.

There were already a bunch of custom maps already out on the pc. I guess they are limited though. Mod tools are really gonna liven up the pc community.

This is Fantastic; though as already mentioned; for 360 owners; like myself; it is a bit like a kick in the teeth ;
