Well, that was quick.
We only just spoke about the issue of Xbox 360 griefers hacking Left 4 Dead this morning, but Valve has just announced that a fix has been released. This should resolve the problem of morons cheating on L4D and spawning thirty witches in a safe house.
"Valve has released a server-side fix to deny the recently reported cheats on all dedicated Left 4 Dead Xbox 360 servers," states Doug Lombardi. "The fix is designed to halt the cheating behavior on the dedicated servers, which accounts for the majority of the co-op and Versus modes of play. A title update for those playing on user-hosted servers and/or via system link will be released in the coming days."
Good news for people who don't suck. Let us all rejoice!

I guess not, huh?
Oh, and "lol"
Does not qualify as a patch.
That's what SHE said.
I do hope it's up to their regular standards.
daaaaaaaaayyyymmmmmmnnnnnnnnnn!
You don't want that then Pick ANOTHER server or start your own server and ban the crap WOW what a concept, a choice, geee... maybe that is why there is an option for it. It has been that way since almost the start of time And nobody on PC whines about it.
What do the xbox people do bitch and whine that they have the PC text commands and demand a patch because some people found out how to use the boo hoo.
"nobody on PC whines about it". Check the official forums you fucking donut, there are massive threads about the shitty matchmaking, shitty custom server settings and the lack of filtering options, with more popping up every day.
XBL != PC
XBL is *supposed* to be (and sold as) a closed and restricted system to intentionally avoid the cheating that plagues PC gaming and requiring punkbuster clients on console games.
Just once.
Cube is saying that its not cheating in this respect. Valve built this into the game. The difference is the 360 version has no console access in order for a server admin to enable the cheats. All someone did was figure out how to enable "sv_cheats 1" in the console of the 360 version. Honestly if Valve built it into the game I don't see why there isn't a tick box to enable cheats on the 360 version and allow you to do this stuff. It's a blast to mess around with once your bored with the normal game.
You need a new gimmick, dude. Being the "annoying illiterate guy" isn't working.
You're an idiot, you give PC gamers, and humanity, a bad name. Please stop.
If you find it easy and generic, then you're clearly not playing it properly.
Exactly, this should be an option. Considering by removing it completely they are removing a feature. It adds replayability once you're bored of the regular game. Plus they are effectevily denying features to 360 users that pc users get.
