If L4D uses more CPU than a TF2 server and holds substantially less players, then hopefully somebody has a ton of cash to blow on tons of servers or there are going to be lots of people unable to play (especially right after release).

More details will be sent to the mailing lists when we have them. There are two things to keep in mind regarding running a Left 4 Dead server: 1) The CPU load for the Left 4 Dead server will be higher than you're used to for games like TF2. Left 4 Dead has a bunch of A.I. for the zombies, etc., that games like TF2 don't have. 2) Left 4 Dead uses a new matchmaking system we're developing. We'll be working with the server admin community to make sure the new system operates as smoothly as possible. More details on this later. -Eric _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
