Why don't the survivors steal ceda clothes and use it as protection. Are they stupid?

Great servers to play on long-term?

Years ago I randomly stumbled upon the mgftw servers and I found them to be great, they have a leveling system, skills, upgrades, 16 players and sometimes 16v16 as well, but they're not super popular anymore, and I find it that the times when there are a lot of players on the server is pretty rare. I miss the chaos that was with 16 players, special tanks, infected with special abilities. You could buy weapons with the points you made playing through the campaign maps and whatnot.

I'm looking for similar servers that are popular these days, and wondered to ask here if you guys know of any such similar servers? I don't mind servers where you can get VIP for extra benefits either. I like the chaos of having a lot of players on these maps with tons of infected attacking us at every turn.

Let only the host start a match on Survival?

Is there any mod or console command that lets only the leader start the round in Survival mode? I'm sick of scumbag idiots who come in and just start the round without giving a damn about anyone else. I and another player could be choosing our weapons, gathering supplies, or discussing strategy, and Mr. A-H would just start the game, while we are nowhere near a safe place. People do this even if you ask them to not start the match before everyone is ready. It's goddamn infuriating.

So close, yet so far.

I’m not the greatest player. But bro I’ve spent hours on top of hours, death after death after death to complete The Parish on Realism Expert. I finally make it to the bridge, the final stretch, and my game crashed. I’m way beyond livid right now! Any advice?

What valve character do I make next? (Action figures)

So far I've made all 8 Left 4 Dead survivors + the witch, all 9 TF2 mercs + the Civilian, Gordon Freeman, G-Man, & Barney Calhoun from Half-life, Chell from Portal (and I already started making p-body and have plans to make Atlas) + a bunch of other Non-Valve custom figures. Who would you guys like to see on the shelf?

Is there a custom campaign based on dawn of the dead?

We all know crash course truck was inspired by dawn of the dead, and I was watching the movie the other day and I thought besides the calm moments is paced a lot like l4d, both even ends by taking a boat to an island, and I think a dawn of the dead inspired campaign would be awesome

L4D2 turned an unplayable, laggy nightmare and I don't know what to do.

Hello there! First post on this forum.

So, a couple of weeks ago, I was, like many of you, playing L4D2 pretty comfortably: 0 issues, no lag, no stutters, no nothing. But recently (as in the last 2 weeks or so) my game has gotten BAD bad. Not even the FPS config I'm running is enough to save me.

Frequent 5-10 second long stutters (even during menu), low fps, the works. And that is AFTER I turned multicore rendering off because of the same issues already listed.

Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone know a fix (that doesn't involve upgrading my rig because, as I've stated, my game used to run FINE)
