TL;DR: New community campaign highlight, Detour Ahead, Reminders of the new add-on maps coming in october, Valve "promising" prizes for the CEVO tournament again.
The new featured community campaign for PC players is Detour Ahead. This 6 map campaign offers Co-op and Campaign gameplay. While the explosion in the finale will light the night sky, it's the train bridge you will remember.
To play, first make sure you have the Left 4 Dead 2 Add-on support downloaded in the tools tab of the Steam library.
DL Link: http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=4094
To download "Detour Ahead" please visit our friends at L4DMaps.com
Double clicking the vpk should install it but you can also copy the vpk to \Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\addons Either way that is where the vpks need to end up.
Start up Left 4 Dead 2.
Choose to play online and any available game/lobby in your area will show up. Or you can create your own game and choose addons and select Detour Ahead for the campaign.
Since we have the servers up, you can choose Official Dedicated for server type.
If you missed the news, we announced new DLC for Left 4 Dead 1 and Left 4 Dead 2. It will be coming out in October and Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 will both be getting the brand new campaign, "The Sacrifice." This will give you a chance to play out the events before "The Passing" using the Left 4 Dead 1 characters. In addition to "The Sacrifice" Left 4 Dead 2 will also be receiving the "No Mercy" campaign. With official inclusion of Left 4 Dead assets, we will be able to simplify the steps for playing community content in the future. Until then, you will need to make sure you download the Left 4 Dead 2 Addon Support.
Do you think you are pro? Hate playing Versus against newbs? Time to put up or shut up with CEVO launching a brand new Left 4 Dead 2 Tournament. The CEVO tournament will be running the latest Confogl configuration. Visit their site for more information. Arsenio, who runs our Valve store is promising Boomer plushies to the winning team. I think we need to bug him to come up with more than that... Arsenio?
We will have more news in the coming weeks on the DLC including a rockingly brand new contest next week and more news on the comic coming out this September. It's a good time to be a zombie killer.

Gametrailers has interviewed Chet Failiszek regarding future DLC and Comic Books. He says that a 4 part comic book will be released telling the story of the 4 L4D1 survivors, from the end of L4D1 thru "The Sacrifice," a new DLC campaign showing how Bill dies. In game canon, Bill dies; but when actually playing the characters get to make the choice of who has to sacrifice themselves.
Expect the comic out sometime in September.
Also, a direct port of No Mercy is planned for L4D2.

From our good friend Af-1, aka CEVO|Gagliardi:
"Over the past few weeks there has been a lot of talk about the upcoming L4D2 tournament that will be hosted by CEVO. The first Head of Game Admin has stepped down from his position due to real life commitments. This means that the config as well as many other different things related to the tournament will be changing. However, we want YOU (the community) to have a say in all this. We will be hosting a community town hall where anyone who wishes to can voice their opinion about the upcoming tournament.
Location: CEVO Support Ventrilo (IP Address: 174.120.115.215, Port: 4000)
Time/Date: Monday, August 9th, 2010 @ 10pm EST/9pm CST/8pm MST/7pm PST
See you there!"
