While it's odd that the console shows that the default for alltalk is 1, the
actual default is 0. I don't set that CVar in my server config files and
from a clean start of the server, sv_alltalk is set to 0.
Regardless, the server browser is a big fail for Left 4 Dead. And I'm not
talking about its implementation in the game, I'm just talking about its
actual usefulness. It just doesn't work for a game of this nature. The
Lobby system is a far better solution and works fine for everyone I know
that plays Left 4 Dead. It has its flaws, sure, but over time and with
community input, I'm sure Valve will work to address the current
shortcomings.
In your opinion, what benefits does the server browser offer over the lobby?
