It has been awhile since we've had any new updates here on the Burning Vision site. We were hit by a virus a few weeks back and it took a week or so to get it all cleared up. For the most part it is gone but i've made some decisions to redo the site when I find the time.

The virus that was put on the website basically installed code at various places of the site (in over 100 pages) that causes it to not work properly. I am going to wipe the server clean and start fresh.

Less than a year after the release of the original Left 4 Dead, which has become one of the best-selling Valve games to date and probably one of the best selling co-op games, comes the annoucement of a sequel. The sequel, being released November 17th, will be heavily improved upon the first version. Valve has seen the success of their first game and has taken all the complaints and critiques from the community and built upon that to create Left 4 Dead 2.

The new Left 4 Dead improves upon the original in many ways but most notably with the new AI Director 2.0....

E3 will be coming our way very soon and with that we'll be hearing a lot of news from all the latest games. One of those games that I'm sure will be a highlight is the upcoming downloadable Battlefield 1943 being made by EA/DICE.

As many of you know, EA/DICE is working on five titles. Battlefield: Heroes which has been in beta for over a year and should be coming public soon. They're also working on Battlefield: Bad Company 2 which will introduce a true single player to the PC. Two other titles are being worked on that we currently have no information about, we just know they're being developed. Then of course there is Battlefield 1943.

Unfortunately it's very short. Today Infinity Ward released a trailer showcasing a little bit of the gameplay from the upcoming title "Modern Warfare 2." It is about a 17 second long video sadly and reveals that more footage will be coming May 24th.

The video does at least show that the locales we'll be playing in will be quite different from the original game. You'll notice the graphics are also slightly improved with the character's much more detailed, better water effects and also what appears to be slightly improved explosions and lighting effects. I'm sure we'll see more differences as more videos are released. Also take note that some missions will take place underwater, definitely a welcome addition. They'll also have another mission from up in the sky which seemed to be a favorite among the Call of Duty community. My favorite part was the snowmobile mission. This is already looking to be a really intense sequel.

No word yet on when it will release but today, April 21st, the arrival of the free L4D DLC will be available on Steam. Xbox 360 users received it early this morning but PC guys have to wait a little while longer but don't fret...it will be here.

The new DLC is jam packed with sweet content included the two campaigns not yet in versus...now in versus. This includes Death Toll and the amazing Dead Air campaign.

In addition to that expect to see a new game mode called "Survival...."

Tons of new media coming our way from the folks at EA/DICE. As i'm sure many of you know, EA/DICE is currently working on 5 Battlefield titles: Battlefield Heroes, Battlefield 1943, Battlefield Bad Company 2, a possible Battlefield 3 and a 5th yet unnamed Battlefield game. I have some new information from two of these titles, Battlefield 1943 and Battlefield Bad Company 2, which we'll now be seeing come to the PC.

Three new screenshots were released today for 1943 and they show some pretty sweet looking visuals from what looks to be Wake Island. I love seeing the planes in these shots because I miss the old dogfights from 1942...Battlefield 2 dogfights aren't very exciting thanks to the insanely fast flying speeds.

We all know about the teaser trailer for Bioshock 2 (originally titled Bioshock 2: Sea of Dreams) that was released with the PS3 version of Bioshock. In that trailer we saw a vast sea with a little sister, now a bit more grown up, holding a big daddy doll. As the camera panned back we would see a city rising up out of the sand. Pretty uninformative right?

Well now, several weeks after they opened a teaser website called Soemthing in the Sea, a GameInformer article was released giving us the latest scoop on the next title in the Bioshock series.
