From the L4D2 blog:
To encourage testing, we created a new achievement: Connecting Fights. You earn it by playing a complete game of Versus in Dead Air. Do that and we have another prize. When 60,000 people earn this achievement, we will unlock the beta version of Blood Harvest on Steam the next weekday.
Apparently they've tweaked the DA finale a bit more, and it's almost out of beta.
But yay Blood Harvest!

All of the original maps I enjoyed far more than the L4D2 maps. Tell me Death Toll is next and ill be a happy camper.

Valve let it stay in all this time... but being Valve they could pull it at any moment.

So I ran it, and for some reason, I didn't get it, and I was the only one in the group who was there start to finish who didn't get it (Zookie didn't get it since she crashed partway through), on top of that, it didn't record my stats when I did over 4000 damage as a Tank.

You may have lost Steam connection part-way through. The game was acting absolutely insane for me yesterday due to Steam problems and who knows what else. Not only did it pop up the playing tutorial every single time I tried to spawn as an infected, but I couldn't hit people I was touching, it turned on color-blind mode in the middle of a fire-fight, and it disabled free-look mode while while spectating. Also, a significant part of the sound didn't work for several of us during one map.

Steam has been acting a bit batty for me, it launched Borderlands 3 times for some reason, and tried to launch TF2 more than once, despite the fact that I only clicked once each.

For all those who have tried and finished a dead air vs the achievement patch was just released and you should get the achievement.

the L4D2 people said on their twitter account that 33000 people have gotten the achievement, we need a few more to get blood harvest released.

Hmm. . . I'll see if it awards me the achievement tonight if I load it up, I didn't get it when we ran it through Sunday night.

Note that the 33K included people who played and didn't get the achievement - getting the achievement is just a cosmetic thing.
