Left 4 Dead

I never said it was. What I mean by it is by me waiting I could wait and see what technical or general issues would arise with the game on it's initial release. Ai yai yai

Left 4 Dead will use the new matchmaking system we’ve been working on.

The new matchmaking system replaces the traditional server browser. By running a public dedicated server your server will be added to a list of servers available for clients to use when playing. Games are started from a Game Lobby by clients, who are then connected to a dedicated server when they start the game. When they’re done, your server is added back to the list of available servers. Clients will be able to “Quick Match”, “Play Online”, and “Play With Friends” when they want to play a game.

You will still have access to the traditional Message of the Day for your server. For Left 4 Dead, we’ve added a banner ad you can create that will be displayed to clients when they’re playing on your server. There is also a ranking system to show the popularity of your server.

This is the first version of what we’ve been working on, and we’re going to want feedback from all of you once things start turning up tomorrow.

Well, if It's as good as Quake Live server browser, with tiers (Different skills) and only showing the servers one is suitable to play, I don't really mind I guess... Ah shit, we'll see.

It's fucking awesome. 4 players on Expert is so bad ass. And the zombie deaths are so smooth.

When do they let the rest of us players try the demo who havn't been sucked into the hype and preordered it?

November 11th - 7 days before the full release

Alright, just got myself into pre-purchasing the game (was going to purchase it anyway, ya know), and downloading the demo. Oh god oh god oh god....

[PogoP]

So can you only download the demo on Steam? I'd like to play it but Steam doesn't work here at uni :/

I can't play the demo today, it says the servers are busy!

Well, you know, it is a Valve game.

-console -> "openserverbrowser" -> custom :bananawrench:

[Punky]

Can't wait to play it, haven't bought it yet, have to convince my parents to buy it asap because well, I'm poor you know...

ok, few throw-offs would be:

- lots of serverside bugs (connection problems)..

- i get a lot of artefacts (white textures) but im not too sure if thats just me

- every 5 times you try to connect to a game in progress, there will be 3 times a ''server is full'' and 2 times a ''disconnected'' pop up. and thats average.

still, this game rox0rz

ok, do you like crazy shootouts and pure action?! this game is for you!!
