Then why bother posting to the listi f they didnt want feedback.. Dont go second guessing Valve - allow those of us willing to give feedback on their new idea do it in a way that means they can filteri t from the noise!! Thomas Morton ++ No problem should ever have to be solved twice ++

I highly doubt there will be no possibility to have "private" servers or "favorite" servers. The matchmaking system is most likely not a system completely different from the server browser. Although it may look like at first sight. There will still be clients, servers and master servers. Valve won'

Why would valve even bother reading this.. we have nothing to give feedback on until the demo is released. All i'm saying is... wait until the demo is out, and then post the comments that will be accurate. They will be alot more helpful to valve when we can say things for sure. Who knows, maybe the

When the issue was first mentioned, Eric from Valve said he would look into it. Considering that was nearly 12 hours ago and that Valve has yet (to my knowledge) release any new information, I'm hoping they are trying to prevent a major crisis. ~ Matt On Thu, Nov 6, 2008 at 8:21 AM, Thomas Morton

That's true. But - as many of you have noticed - Valve would not have thought a minute about the system. At least that's how long I thought about those issues. ;) And I'm sure Valve doesn't want to annoy all those players and admins trying to build a real community around the game. Regards, Korak

No offence Sebastian but your making all that up (as you said). There is nothing to suggest *any* of that stuff will be there. If it is then that would be awesome.. Valve? TBH reading PURELY on what was posted on this list I dont think your going to see those features. Thomas Morton ++ No

This is exactly how I see it. Right now I'm ready to set up 8 L4D servers and my (pretty small) community has at least 20 people with the game pre-ordered, If there's no sensible way to play on our own servers with our friends, there'll be a lot of pre-orders canceled, and my servers will go t

Olly, Valve have posted the info to this to the list SPECIFICALLY. It is a huge change to the way the game works... We can only go on the info that has been given and that is that there will be no server browser. The new system that has been described means I doubt clans will bother to host serv
