Have a look at TF2 Blog, there are some of the things described about how they bring up new features to that game. Similiar process should apply for all their multiplayer games. http://www.teamfortress.com/
As a side note, i'm afraid that this timeout bug has been moved to L4D too. Sometimes after completing a level, the timeout occurs or loading a level takes forever (like 1 minute) or it never will load to the end. First i thought its occurs only on modded servers but since then, it has happened on 2 vanilla ones too. -ics [email protected] kirjoitti: > On Tue, 27 Jan 2009 10:44:35 -0500 > "David A.
