Copy the file into Steam/Steamapps/common/left 4 dead 2/left4dead2/addon
You can now select the map from the addons section (In-game)

buy = to pay money in exchange for goods, trade.

Valve has officially announced that the first big expansion for their zombie co-op shooter Left 4 Dead 2, titled The Passing, will be released via Steam on Thursday. Like previous downloadable expansions for Valve's PC game releases, The Passing will be a free download for Left 4 Dead 2 PC owners.

Valve has also revealed more details on what will be contained in The Passing, including the addition of Mutations. These will be new gameplay modes that Valve plans to cycle in and out of the multiplayer servers on a weekly basis. More that 20 Mutation gameplay modes are planned. One of the modes is Chainsaw Massacre where the survivors are all armed with chainsaws and they have an unlimited amount of gas. All of the Mutation modes can be played on any of Left 4 Dead 2's levels.

In addition to the Mutation gameplay modes, The Passing will have a new co-op challenge mode, bot support for infected bosses in Versus mode, the new M-60 weapon, the new golf club melee weapon, the new fallen survivor "uncommon common" zombie.

The first game add-on for Left 4 Dead 2 brings the original Left 4 Dead (L4D1) Survivors down south for a meeting with the L4D2 cast, while delivering new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay for the PC and Xbox 360.

The Passing also introduces a series of weekly game mode events dubbed "Mutations." These week-long runs of new gameplay modes range from "Realism Versus" mode to "Chainsaw Massacre," which gives all players chainsaws with an unlimited supply of gasoline. There are over 20 Mutations planned, each playable on all L4D2 Campaigns. Mutations are exclusively available to owners of "The Passing" DLC.

In addition, "The Passing" offers a new co-operative challenge mode of play, support for infected bot play in Versus, a new "uncommon common" zombie class (the fallen survivor), melee weapon (golf club), and firearm (M-60).

Available for 560 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360 and free on the PC, "The Passing" takes place just after the Dead Center campaign of L4D2. Set in a small town in rural Georgia, players assume the role of the L4D2 Survivors as they meet with the L4D1 characters.

Exclusively available for Xbox 360 and the PC, L4D2 sets a new benchmark for co-operative action games. The title adds melee combat to enable deeper co-operative gameplay, with items such as a chainsaws, frying pans, axes, baseball bats, and more.

With the AI Director 2.0, L4D's dynamic gameplay is taken to the next level by giving the Director the ability to procedurally change weather effects, world objects, and pathways in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match the players' performance. The result is a unique game session custom fitted to provide a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience each time the game is played.

Finally, with new Survivors, boss zombies, weapons, and items, Left 4 Dead 2 offers a much larger game than the original, featuring more co-operative campaigns, more Versus campaigns, new Survival maps, and the new competitive game mode, Scavenge.
