Imagine you're a GSP, and you have a customer who buys a 4 slot L4D server - since most GSP's charge per player slot, this would be the norm. Now, since the VS. mode is automatic, as a GSP you're going to potentially lose money (yes, 4 slots isn't much, but that's not the point) by "giving away" - uncontrollably at this time - 4 free slots.
Unless you just charge everyone for 8 slots. Aside from THAT point, I too can't really see the point of making VS. and Co-Op only servers, since the players currently dictate what they're going to play via the voting system. mauirixxx -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jonah Hirsch Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2008 11:25 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] Vs. servers are automatic What's the point of making a vs or campaign only server? I can see the advantage if you're using sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0 and you want to advertise in the browser, but other than that, there's really no point. msleeper wrote: > I've noticed this too, thanks for the confirmation. > > I think what a lot of people are trying to ask though, myself included, > is what is the proper way to make a Versus ONLY server or a Campaign > ONLY server.
