The Left 4 Dead Blog has details on a range of "strictly limited high end collectibles" from Left 4 Dead 2 coming from IP Factory, the first of which will be the Tank. They also give the lowdown on a new automatic patch with some balance and scoring changes they are planning for the zombie shooter sequel. Here's word on what to expect in the future: "The updates aren't over and you should expect to see some more shortly. As for the blog, besides the regular Friday update, next week we will be going into details on the Mutations, why Realism Versus was made permanent and other Mutations have not been. Plus what gets played more - Versus, Co-op, Survival, Single Player, or Scavenge?" Here is the change list from the new patch.
