Also, the Dark Carnival finale will finally be fixed. Hurray!

Stevil: I think it'll go a long way towards helping the problem though. I can't count the times where my team has been left standing around waiting for other people to join the opposing team. If nothing else, it'll be one less reason that games end prematurely.

There still needs to be some sort of incentive to not leave a game early.. which would mean statistics would need to be kept track of so that losses actually at least count for something.

If not that, then something else. You shouldn't have to play on team mode and happen to have 3 other friends that want to play in order to play L4D2.

The amount of rage quitting in this game really is awful.

Now that's huge!

Are infected bots coming to L4D too?

"a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced"

Why did it take this long to fix this?

And here I thought people were rage quitting because I was so damn good. Guess it really is that rampant. My team and I like to fudge-up the initial chapter so the other team gets an incentive to stay, then we proceed to rape the shit outta them. Then they leave after the 2nd round. Sigh.

I'm glad they're fixing the instant-spawn thing, though to be fair its less of a 'fix' since nothing was broken, it was just a poor game-mechanic. And as for the lack of infected AI, I've been in a few games where we're lucky to get an AI taking over when we go Tank but it shouldn't have to be about luck, so this is good news.

@callouspenguin: fail troll is fail. Your mommy telling you to get off the 'Box isn't the usual reason for people's quitting because no one I've gone against ever left abruptly. Its always directly after their pug team just got face-owned. Nice try though, I give your attempt a 2/5 for effort.

This is great news!

I think it's not right because the Infected team gets competent AI, the survivors still get the retarded AI (if down one or several people).

Also, I wonder if the bots attack on their own or when your team does? Coordination is key in that game, so I'll be interested in how they work.

Yeah, they've finally fixed these problems!

...

They just need to fix The AI Survivor Bots and exploits...

Does it apply to tanks in any way? I would love not to spawn on fire.

I don't mean being able to set up the spawn for the tank, but speed up when you gain control of it, sometimes it doesn't happen till the tank is visible and the survivors can toss a molly at it or it's dead and the message comes up saying you're taking control of the tank.

I quit a lot of my public versus games, but not because I'm losing (I couldn't care less if I win or lose). It's because of the douchy type of players I end up stuck with, and you can look at some of the replies in here to see the types. Why would I want to listen to you bark orders, then bitch and moan when your stupid plan blows up in your face? You deserve the AI.

The only time I've ever ragequit is because literally no one has a mic or they are ABSOLUTE retards.

That's why if I end up playing Versus with people, it's usually with other Dtoiders, because there is a lot less chance that someone will ragequit. Seems to be interesting news, leave it to Valve to show companies how game updates and such are done.

I have a serious question..
If there's going to be bots for the infected now,
does that mean the timer will always be maxed out at 25-30 seconds to respawn?
I forget how long it actually is.
And will the tank, being chosen at random, actually have a chance to just be AI?

know thy glory of thy pc version

They should've had infected bots since the beginning. I don't know why they never did that. Better late than never I guess.

versus,for me, is meant to be played with your 7 pals, not 7 douchebags.

superior PC versions

hahaha, yah right
