Title: Left 4 Dead

Gents

This game has proved to be very popular amongst our members and I would now ask the question - should we formally support it?

My experience of it has proved to me that it is entirely based on teamwork and as such would fit nicely into our portfolio.

If we do agree to adopt it then I would be inclined to ask Benny to take on the role of Section Head as, in my honest opinion, he has great belief in the game's potential for teamwork based fun.

I thought we were supporting it by having a server and forum section. Might as well give Benny a badge to complete the set.

Bottom line is that if it has proved popular then let's whack a server up and see what the support is like.  If it is not then then we have lost nothing.

Ok smartypants, formally support then.  I do not play it, so was responding to today's post by OB.  If we now have a decent server population then yes add a section for it and see if it flies.

Well bought and played.
 
I can see the game being a bit of hack and slash for an hour, but i don't see how it will benifit dMW.
 
all our other games serve to bring people in to the community. I'm not sure how L4D will do the same. In fact 8 people on the L4D server they aren't on one of the CS or COD's. where it might bring publics in.
 
But i must admit to being 100% anti zombie/alien killing games.:sideways: But I am trying not to let that get in the way.:g:
 
I seem to be so in the minority, but have a think.

I'm totally hooked so properly biased. :D

I think the best thing to do is to wait for the promised patch and to look at it again then.

I've off to buy it as well.

I've no problem with Benny being Section Head if/when it's formally adopted, he does seem to be putting a lot of effort into it.
