But I can imagine servers being pretty annoying, because they'd ALWAYS be full.
Edit: And "Kicked for VIP" would have me up late at night. Oh my god. Oh my godd.

is it true that each game is only 4 players at a time? I have a feeling we will have the most populated L4D servers in history...

Who the hell would waste money on a server with such a low player count? New implementation: Super subscriber features ($50 a month to save a slot). o_O

I don't know about matchmaking, it might be possible if it's just 4 players as pretty much any internet connection can support that.
But of course people are going to figure out how to run dedicated servers.
Little known fact: When these kinds of games were first coming out (ie, quake 1), they never intended or expected for people to run dedicated server communities like we do. They expected it to be all matchmaking where one player was the host, if they really push a 4 player limit and matchmaking with no sense of a community I feel they'd be going backwards. |

I thought it was 4 for the humans and 4 for the zombies? Or was it 1 person for the zombies that choose where to spawn them? I can't remember from when I read about it. |

Basically it's 4 players as the humans and the zombies are cpu controlled. In terms of boss zombies, the players wait in line till a boss is spawned by the AI

Any ideas yet on how much server load one of these 4 person servers would take up compared to tf2? Am wondering if the zombie spam will be really taxing or not

Well hopefully voog can change this and allow at lease double that. =P 8 humans, 8 zombies, 8 specs? 24 player server? Or possibly get rid of spectators altogether. Who'd want to be a spec anyways? It's pretty lame and seems like backtracking to me for such a "great" looking game to have such a small max of players. 12 players in a server seems WAY too small like connecting several N64's together and playing Goldeneye way back in the old days.

I actually think it's perfect the way it is, any more and it'd be too crowded especially with friendly fire always being on, adding more players would just be too hectic for my liking. |

I think it would be best if it was some kind of lobby system with lots of people then you pick 4 people and put them in a game.. More than 4 at a time is gonna kill the balance IMHO.

I have a feeling if they have 4 slots for spectators there will be some kind of player cycling system that rotates players and spectators each round. Or maybe they think 4 people will actually sit there and watch others play

Maybe they will make team games for up to 10 players, and then for the more survivors, the server will dish out more zombies. Yea, that would be awesome. |

I'd love to see literally 3k+ zombies start spawning all over the place with you and maybe 11 other players having a standoff.
My only rule, since FF would be constantly on, is something to make players stay as spectators or become zombies if they cause too much FF.

Nah, leave FF off IMO. I know it adds to realism, but in reality when you are running for your life (from zombies), an 8 year old doesn't run up and shoot you in the head and say "lulz pwned nubzor." | |
