Survival Mode: USUALLY (not everyone does this, just most) camping in a corner somewhere and killing unending waves of infected until you die or become bored and ragequit. Also includes a friends' only leader board for all the e-peen enthusiasts out there

Plus the two other campaign maps Dead Air and Death Toll are included into Versus mode. I'd also assume multiple game fixes lol.

You could just buy it retail, I did when it first came out. It cost like $90AUS compared to like the $60AUS it was on steam at the time, but I didn't really care. Having the disks does equal faster installs though, unless you've got 10MB/s net or faster lol. Also a Visa card works for buying games off steam.

Doesn't take me long to download content from Steam. I generally get like 1.5 Megabytes/sec or more. That being said, you know you can backup your games to DVD in case you ever need to reinstall.
