HAH.

Nice one, really. There's also a Flash version here, with better quality.

Well known US player Surgica1 grouped up with philogl to release a frustian's like server config for L4D2.

I've later become involved in the project by packaging and releasing a couple of version with bugfixes, updates and such.

I've also managed to set up the official google code page where the project is located, so if you want to know more about it just click the link above.

The main object of the config is to balance the game by removing medkits, defibs, special ammo types, reducing the ammounts of item spawns and so on. There are also reduced spawn timers and for all the hardcore l4d2 players, there's an additional "special infected buffs" config that you can enable, which improves some of the abilities of the infected.

Even though there has been some discussion about the actual need of the additional SI improvements, i would reccomend everybody to test out the changes before expressing their opinion.

Many of the teams i've played against were happy with the changes added to the game and it seems like confogl is being accepted well by the community.

I've added the config to all of our servers, and it's reloading automatically, so if you want to try it out without installing it first on your dedicated nest go ahead and use one of these servers :)

Last but not least, the config has a dedicated steam group, which i encourage all of you to join to get updates and to eventually find pcws with people that want to play with the config.

Seems like Valve wasn't lying about those promised DLC (or simply they wanted the world to stop whining about L4D 2 a bit).

Anyway, the new DLC will consist in a new map, that will be supposed to last 30 minutes - it's not clear if it's referred to the versus or the coop version.
According to the ufficial announcement, the spawn system will be adjusted to the pace of the new map, but, again, it's not clear how Valve wants to handle this.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

You know they said there will be weather variations on the upcoming title, L4D 2? Remember?

We all were gazing at the sunset in the daylight maps footage we seen.
We also were told weather was gonna affect the infected. The witch will wander around when the sun is up, for example.

But what about rain? Well, from the picture above, it doesnt seem the infected are happy when the weather is bad.

I mean, who is anyway?!

Team Fortress 2 devs sure know how to keep the buzz up. First we get the announcement of a new Sniper Update, then the UI is patched to support future items, and now all this RPG stuff.

After the mentioned update, the internets went all crazy because of kotaku saying that the new features would make our TF2 look a lot more like the classic RPG Series Diablo, using items to differentiate the player's skills.

Then, an impressive Garry's mod mock up was made here, and the minds of the TF2 fans flew higher and higher...

Latest news is the devs have gone so far, that they included little traces in the code of the last update:

//—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—--
// TF2 MMO
"TF_MMO_LFG" "Looking For Group"
"TF_MMO_Quest1" "You must kill %s1 %s2 to complete this quest."
"TF_MMO_Monster1" "Boars"
"TF_MMO_Monster2" "Rats"
"TF_MMO_Monster3" "Bats"
"TF_MMO_Monster4" "Wolves"
"TF_MMO_Monster5" "Spiders"

Wouldn't it be amazing to see a MMORPG with the looks of TF2?

Sorry i didn't update the blog at all these days, but i had an exam last week and this weekend i was too busy gaming to read the news and report you the latest stuff.

Anyway, FRAKKING BIG NEWS, the Left 4 Dead DLC, consisting of the death toll and dead air maps for the versus mode and the additional Survival mode is out in a few HOURS.

The update will be totally free and will be applied automatically.

Above and below there are two videos from the new survival mode, which has been detailed some days ago on the official L4D blog, with this post. There's nothing much to say, after you've read the article and watched the two vids. It will be a blast.

Also, i want to thank Valve, for making such awesome games and for updating them for free.

We love you guys.
