Once again this game raised it's head at the LAN and was a blast. In fact i think it was the most played game over the whole weekend. Some of us thought it might be worth trying to arrange a night or two with L4D2. Is there any enthusiasm for dusting this one off again?
Please do :)
Oh Yes..
I would be tempted....er...I mean as an admin it's a great idea!!
(standard kibosh applies as the servers are a bit of a bugger - OB?)
This sounds like a cracking plan :yahoo:
I'm game for some zombie smashing.
Getting a lobby to connect to our dedicated server was always a PITA, but there's a good chance that there's been progress made on this front since we stopped playing. I'll do a quick Google when I get home tonight.
My failed attempt last year was good fun. Faust, Ghosty and I playing Expert was pretty tense
Yeah sure I'm up for some LFD

Snooks made a post about this and mine is still working.
Getting this going again would be great!
I am sure I could get my crew to get involved too.
What days are people free?
as far as im aware wed is still classed as l4d night. we tried to get it off the ground a few times but never any takers, its a shame as it really is a great i don't want to think too much game
Any workday, but wednesday would suit me best with a small margin, no friday/saterday at least.

Red Orchestra 2 took that night.
But how many are playing both?
I don't have red orchestra
i would be up for some lfd2 action
I'm not sure we're talking about a full resurrection just a few more fun games, unless there's serious long term interest, which I'm not sure there is? Wednesday is indeed RO2 night and we shouldn't clash with that on a regular basis. The trouble is though that every day has something going on. As this isn't an officially designated game night as long as we're not taking players from another game I think we could just choose a night and give it a go.
Do we have anyone with both L4D2 and RO2? Would we be stealing if we arranged a run through next week? Or could we try Sunday night, which was Arma2 until recently?
I have both I wouldnt like to commit to full on lfd2 nights as my work lift is stopping me from gaming quite a bit as it is but i would be up for a few games every now and then when time allows.
Maybe a few 'events' rather than a night? Where's the GL eh...... :)
I have been restarting our server on a regular basis so it should be up-to-date and good to use.
I admit that I have been thinking more and more about trying to revive this game as it is just about the only multi-player game we have that is fun, not too complicated and requires team play.
The lobby system is a pain but once you learn its vagaries it does become useable.
A problem I have is that Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights are out for me at the moment. :crying: Maybe look at Saturday or Sunday nights?
Sunday night was Arma II public night but no longer, so it's technically free. We could have a go although I'm not sure how the whole lobby set up works.
The lobby is a doddle. You need to make sure that you set all the options you want and select steam group servers. You'll then see our server and when you connect it'll configure it to match your settings.
If you make it private so only members of the steam group can join. You can start off with a co-op game and if more people join drop back into the lobby and change it to versus.
Am very much up for some zombie bashing when I come back from holiday. Sunday's are good for me to in general.
