Poll: Swap COD4 for a Left 4 Dead server

[Colonel Mitch]

I think it'd be a better idea and at least it would get populated, coz nobodys really using the cod4 server tbh.

[Calneon]

I agree the CoD4 server isn't used, but I don't think we really need a L4D server. I mean, the matchmaking works fine and we would have to make it private and join from the server browser.

[Zealous]

I think it's a great idea. Could we also get a cod5 server?

[D_K_Head]

l4d dedi servers are really overloaded. They need more third party servers. We might be able to use them privately too, which could help.

and hosting local really isn't fun. It's kind of laggy.

[Calneon]

I can host locally fine, I have a 20MB connection, works perfectly when we play, never have to use a dedicated server. Infact once, I had a dedicated server running with 4 people playing, while I hosted a local server for us to play on.

[Colonel Mitch]

Not all of us are graced with your connection speed. At work we only get 7 meg with business broadband and we are 100 metres from the exchange, and at home i get jsut over 4.

[VoX]

Voted yes, because even though I have neither game, I'd love to see some new people in ATK.

[Calneon]

We used to have a 2MB connection, but Virgin upgraded it to 10MB and then again to 20MB for free :D. Though we rarely get 20MB, it's more like 10MB most of the time, but it's meant to be 20. Can't complain though.

[VoX]

It's looking like a more or less unanimous vote for yes.

[Calneon]

How many of you even play L4D?

Me, Trigger, Zealous, DK Head? Mitch do you have it, I know Chalex is going to get it (you ARE going to get it).

[ez64]

I have pre ordered ive got bored of it now though after completing the demo on expert on my 3rd game.

[Calneon]

Ah cool. We should have a game sometime.

[D_K_Head]

you lucky sonuva... We only got upped to 8mb.

...which i keep overdoing my download limit on, so it's going up and down like a fiddlers elbow.

[VoX]

Ez and I have uber 1337 net. That is all.

[ez64]

High five for elitism :D

[Isphera]

If you want a left for dead server, go play Zombie Mod.

No from me.

[Calneon]

Zombie mod is not L4D Oric...

Just because they both have zombies doesn't mean they're the same game.

[Isphera]

I see mass of zombies, coming for a group of people with no weapons, and you have a limited arsenal of weapons and ammo to use.

In essence, it is Zombie Mod Plus.

[Bloo]

I say yes to L4D.. my only question is, has Valve given a function that passwords it's for survivors, but not for zombies. Have 4 ATK survivors playing and any random jerk to pwn and annoy as a zombie. :P

[Calneon]

Yeah, because Operation Flashpoint 2 will be the same as Battlefield 2 because they both feature open modern warfare and vehicles. Stop being so fucking shalow minded.

[Isphera]

Just because I don't like the premise doesn't mean I am trying to stop you having fun. I just see more point to having a CoD4 server, that's all. Looks like I am on the losing side of the argument....again...I have to stop making a habit of this.

[Calneon]

You're entitled to your opinion ofcourse, you could have played the game and said that it's too much like zombie mod therefore you don't think it's worth $45. You just said that when you have nothing to back it up.

But anyway, I made Oric admit he was wrong twice in 5 mins, so i'm happy.

[Colonel Mitch]

to answer whoevers question, yes i do have left 4 dead. and to counter orics point, while the cod4 server may be more technically pointful, itys never got anyone platying it and u cant play cod4 with jsut a couple of people, where as thats the whole point of left4dead really :)

[Isphera]

But anyway, I made Oric admit he was wrong twice in 5 mins, so i'm happy.

Quote where I said I was wrong, because I am intrigued if I admited such a thing :) Since my point of view is going the way of the dodo in this thread, I'm going to stop making people hate me and stop posting in this thread - please don't hate me. Therefore, Phantom, I award you with the (long absent) HUG TOKEN!!!

EDIT - OK, I did admit PTA was crap, i'll give you one. Where's the second?
EDIT2 - Changed for a rare grammar issue.
EDIT3 - I may just be cranky because I am tired, GH3 has taken 3 hours to install on my laptop and is still going or a combination of the above.

[Trigger]

In essence i agree with swapping the cod4 server to somthing different and if more people play L4D then change it to that.

p.s whats with the loveing going on between Phantom and Oric? :eek:

[Calneon]

W00000000! I have 2 Hug Tokens now! Can I save em for one massive hug?

[Zealous]

W00000000! I have 2 Hug Tokens now! Can I save em for one massive hug?

I'm confused :confused:?

[Isphera]

W00000000! I have 2 Hug Tokens now! Can I save em for one massive hug?

No, the trade in is;

1 - Standard Hug
3 - Warm Hug
5 - Award-Winning Hug
10 - I bear hug someone you hate until they choke :D

The last one is a joke, but still.

[Calneon]

I'm saving 10.

[Chalex4]

I have played the Left 4 Dead demo, and I must say it is definitely a fun game to play.

Since the COD4 server is hardly ever in use, it would be wise to replace it with a server for this game instead. However, since the full game isn't even out yet, we will wait for it to be released before making any final decisions. Especially because we may want a "Versus" server where people can play as the infected too, and I have no idea how many slots would be best for that.

[Calneon]

8 slots for versus.

[Trigger]

I'm confused :confused:?

In more ways than one Eh?

oh and L4D versus server ftw

[Calneon]

Don't worry Zealous, we'll still like you whichever path you chose.

[Isphera]

I'm saving 10.

Who for?

[VoX]

Don't worry Zealous, we'll still like you whichever path you chose.

You make him sound like a homo.

[Calneon]

You make him sound like a homo.
That's what I meant to do...

And I don't know yet Oric.

[Chalex4]

I have talked to Direct Clan Hosting (http://www.directclanhosting.com/) today and they have agreed to setup 2 separate Left 4 Dead servers in place of the 26 slot CoD4 server. The servers will be public, 8 slots each, and running in versus mode.

He has also let me know that they should be up and running today, so that is awesome.

Make sure you all check out Direct Clan Hosting (http://www.directclanhosting.com/) for the best deals on everything game server related!!

[Marshy]

That's what I meant to do...

And I don't know yet Oric.


grammer' rulez,;: im, prety. sure you Know, who€

Thank you, Direct Clan Hosting.

[Trigger]

Ah nice 1 Chalex, now we need to get some games going together :D

[Calneon]

Yup fantastic news Chalex, can't wait to get some games.

[Zealous]

Don't worry Zealous, we'll still like you whichever path you chose.

I have been on holiday for a week, and i come back to see this :(.

[Calneon]

So when are we getting these Chalex? Me and Trigger are sick of laggy versus servers.

[Colonel Mitch]

what happened to these being set up "today" liek 2 weeks ago chalex?

Ps. DO THE VIDEO!!!

[Calneon]

Sod the video, get us our servers.

[D_K_Head]

Hey, I just noticed what happens if you put an 'I' and a 'C' between D and K in your name.

[Chalex4]

Sorry guys, they are on the way, but DCH hasn't had much time to set them up yet because of some datacentre rack changes. I don't think it will be too much longer :).

[Calneon]

Woo nice.

[D_K_Head]

Hey, I just noticed what happens if you put an 'I' and a 'C' between D and K in your name.

Just? Are you normally that unobservent or was this a special thing?

Dick Head.

[D_K_Head]

Good boy. Have a cookie.

[Vicious Horizon]

Only 8? ONLY 8? We get 1mb... Tops.

Oh, and take the argument to the servers.

[Calneon]

What?

[Chalex4]

Our 1st Left 4 Dead server is online!!! Here is the IP:

81.19.217.130:27017

It is running versus mode, and I have configured it with some decent settings. However, some things still need sorting, like the key search and a few other points. I have again given Phantom access to manage this server, and I am sure he will do a great job.

The 2nd server hasn't yet been setup because DCH is almost at full capacity. However, they are trying to get a new quad core server online for us which they can then host it on. This will happen within the next 2 weeks.

[Vicious Horizon]

What?


Ignoring the first part of the post, I meant stop having an arse at each other.
