Miga post here soon.
Anybody up for l4d now?
Anyone up for L4D some time Friday the 19th*? It'll have to be on Hamachi for me, though :(*I loving hate midterm exams.
How many people here have a mic?
I wish it had offline multiplayer too D:
Stephan @ www.l4dmods.com: ah, thats what i thought. about the server browsers. the option is available in the console, but will you guys eventually make it a fully working browser like the other source games again?Stephan @ www.l4dmods.com: coz this is really what will keep the custom communities aliveChet: the server browser is a dead end for l4d, people have to understand the differences between l4d and something like tf2, entirely different set of issues and a server browser would fail miserbly. We are working on expanding the match making for community maps etc, there will be more info on that coming soonStephan @ www.l4dmods.com: ok. why do you think its a dead end for l4d?Chet: because it is about a shared experience, how do you get 4 people to join a server at one time to start a campaign? All click join at once? Vote to restart? The 4 people playing something that has a begining and an end is simply very different. People who haven't thought it out will claim we are consolizing match making, that is just dumb, we are creating the match making specifically because l4d has a unique set of problems that needs to be solved by its match making. It all falls apart without lobbiesStephan @ www.l4dmods.com: that is true. i understand the reason for the matchmaking, but when the custom campaigns start rolling out, how does valve plan on accommodating them as well. currently you have to choose a campaign from the lobby. will ppl like us have to submit our campaigns to valve to have it put in the game? couldnt you guys add the option for joining a server (if it was a custom server) and have players wait in game for others to connect, then start the match?
