more servers will go up when the game comes out?

Most people that made servers for L4D, won't be making L4D2 servers because they were basically worthless to operate

I thought all the flak the first time around would've just dropped the matchmaking system.  Server browsers work.

What are all the weapons people have found in the demo?  I was kinda curious if a few more playthroughs could bring out something I haven't used yet...

Pistol
Machete
Frying Pan
Electric Guitar
Nightstick
Pipe Bomb
Boomer Bile
Molotov
Chrome Shotgun
Auto-Shotty
Uzi
Silenced Uzi
M16
AK47
Hunting Rifle
Auto-Sniper

Is Boomer Bile an actual weapon? And also... I wonder if there's a non-chrome shotgun, and if there's any difference between the 2.

non-chrome is there, it's always in the second saferoom, and Chrome has better acc but is crappier

Ah, just overlooked the normal one then.  Can't really tell the chrome one apart I think too well from the normal one at a glance.  Kinda like how the DE looks like a normal pistol till you pick it up lol

You must not have used the Desert Eagle yet.  I didn't like too much of the melee stuff outside of the machete, though all the melees are better than the normal pistol I think XD

I don't like the melee's in expert mode. Too much room for error.

The day where humanity is thrown aside and iscolation and ignorance, the day the provider arises from the depths and takes the thrown, the day draws closer every second.

It's fun, but I can't afford to get it right now. Christmas sale  :'(

I will say that playing as infected now is much more enjoyable with the three new ones.  Jockies are like hunters that are useful and if you get someone who wandered off, you can do some major damage dragging them into infected.  Also you go co-op with the Charger and it's wicked awesome lol Charger is my favorite right now.  It does have a limited charge range.  It's still like a good 50 feet or so, but enough of a limit.  Spitter is also great I think for scattering survivors or creating a death trap to either block them or cut them off from each other.

Really, anything that allows me to not play as the hunter as much is a great thing lol

Yeah, i played the entire demo as infected and only played hunter twice.

Although on expert when you get hunter you basically win

The demo always had the files for playing the infected. Try opening the server browser and selecting a server with more than 4 players.

Nah, there's a workaround out there.  You download a plugin, put in some console commands and then switch between infected or survivor which pretty much instant spawn.  What's hilarious is that you can switch back to survivor, but it makes a copy of that, so you'll have 5 survivors.  Do it another couple times and then you'll have like 10 survivors lol It's really hard, but alot of fun, though the survivors might as well be retarded kids running around with helmets, cause they take forever to get through the map and then you have to switch back to survivor to start the gauntlet, but sometimes you'll spawn in the bus area and are stuck to make it to the gauntlet area unless your maybe a hunter.  It's not as nice as Versus, but gives you more than enough time to play as the new infected.

Oh and you only need the plugin if your starting the match in Local Server.  It didn't work for me when I did it as a dedicated server.
