The “Break it Down” Blog

If you’ve been playing Left 4 Dead on your Xbox 360 the last few days with random people on Live you may have run into one of the may people who found out how to glitch and make themselves really tall. If that were the extent of the glitching it would be annoying but not that big a deal.  However, people have also found ways to super jump, reproduce weapons, spawn extra enemies, and have infinite grenades.  Basically making the game unplayable for anyone wanting to enjoy the game as it was intended.  This video shows a lot of the cheats in action.

Fortunately, Valve has already corrected most of the issue and will have an update out for the rest of it shortly.

Valve has issued a server-side fix to stop cheaters from taking advantage of Left 4 Dead exploits on the Xbox 360. Reported cheats allowed players to spawn infinite items and enemies in online games.

A follow-up statement from Valve says that the fix has already been deployed to address cheats on dedicated Xbox Live servers, which accounts for the majority of co-op and versus mode play.

It expects to deploy a title update “in the coming days” for Xbox 360 owners playing on user-hosted servers or via system link. Thanks, Valve!
