now. i thinnk i may be oversimplifying this, but are you saying that I shouldn't have the ability to be a "higher" level user on the server that I administer/officiate/etc?
i think there should be some kind of authentication system for server admins. so they can join a game on their server (either to spectate, join, etc). kind of like a reserved slot. a way for the admin to stay seperate of the other users. I don't expect much from the demo version of the server but the full release of L4D I expect a little more play in the server config. Leonard L. Church wrote: > Ok.. You want to get into it...
