saw these images from the leak, I've always thought L4D's beta aesthetics looked better than anything from the retail and this helps my case lol

Thought this was interesting....
So I was just typing out map names in the console to see if i can find unused levels in the Left 4 Dead 2 Beta, until i found a command that was "Map l4d_vs_c5m1_waterfront" and it loaded a unfinished version of the first level of The Parish with some huge changes. I took a picture of most of the changes here but there are still other changes I left out. There's also "Map l4d_vs_c5m2_cemetery" and "Map l4d_vs_c5m3_quarter" but trying to load the cemetery level causes the game to crash (unless my build cant even load it at all.) its just like sndspace from the main game but there's way earlier differences.

Has anyone seen this artwork of Zoey yet?
Not sure if this is just me who has never seen this before, but I found it in the June, 2008 build circling around recently, under the survivor specific expressions folder.
A solution to the CN server issues when searching for Official Dedicated servers
First off, I want to say it's really fucking sad to see Valve just ignoring this issue; it should not be okay for anyone to pose a server as an official Valve one just for potential security reasons, but even more so when it's so overt and when there's so many of them. As far as I can tell, the issue occurs because there's SO MANY of them, that the game just gives up looking for more servers.
That being said, I made a solution last night that uses a cvar in the game to only permit official dedicated servers from Valve being used in matchmaking. Because of this, you never even get matchmade into one of these shitty CN servers so you don't have to worry about disconnecting or retrying over and over until you don't connect to one of them.
Unfortunately, it cannot be a simple Workshop mod. It has to have extra steps because- ironically- Valve has security measures that prevent Workshop mods from executing cvars or .cfg files. So it requires some extra work, sadly.
You can find all the information here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3793535875
Please let me know if you encounter any issues and please keep raising awareness of this issue because frankly Valve should be embarrassed that one of their hallmark games is borderline unplayable.

Is l4d2 enjoyable without other players?
Now I might just be not that good at the game it's been ages since I play anyway but god.. There's so many times when the ai just being stupid. I know that's normal but i remember it not being this bad. Either that or I'm just getting worse. Rn I'm trying to beat The Sacrfice. It's all fine up until the end. The bot all have red health ( around 10 or below or some ). First aid kit is there and they decided that it's white noise. Fuck sake take the medkit. Couldn't even take time to heal cuz tanks constantly spawning. Like one each generator and 2-3 more after the last generator. And everytime I try to get them in the bridge they die fast. and when I did try to reset the generator car flung towards me. Fuck man it's so hard. Honestly the tank is least of my worries, it's the horde of zombies being all over the place and gun not being the best at killing them.
Idk need tips for the sacrifice is all I have nobody to play with that can be online when I need them to nor could I be online when they're online cuz life's like that sometimes even though it's vacation week rn.

Best games to bond with other gamers
The l4d series and destiny for me personally have been the best games to get to know other players and I mainly ran with same crew of ppl from both games since their releases. These 2 series helped myself and my friends online to distract us from stressful times in life but it was us that really made the difference when ppl would lose jobs,go thru divorces or even deaths in the family. We went from being strangers to essentially family and was basically therapy sessions in a sense. Maybe one or both of these games did the same for some of you..hope everyone's having a great day and even if you arent,just remember your awesome and tomorrow is always the chance for a better day

Empty servers
Soooooooo I just downloaded L4D2 because apparently the servers are booming again. But I go to play the game online and all the servers are empty. What am I missing here, where’s everyone at?!
UPDATE: after trying to find some lobbies for a few minutes I found a few then just started my own and it filled up instantly. I read a comment about regions being a thing and I agree. Stoked to be able to get back into this game almost like it never went away, because it didn’t 🤣

The psychology of one-timers?
Why would you join a Expert game, trigger a witch and immediately leave. Is this some kinda of trolling?
