As we mentioned last week, Left 4 Dead 2 had a less than brilliant launch on the Xbox 360 thanks to the fact that it lagged out horrendously once it got online. Fortunately, Valve has dropped a Thanksgiving Day gift on our grateful heads, having just boosted the servers for Xbox Live.
“We have upgraded our network infrastructure to better accommodate the huge response to L4D2,” blogs Valve. “360 players will now have lag-free servers. We’ve also added more dedicated servers.”
Great stuff! There’s nothing more frustrating than lining up your reticule on a witless survivor, letting your Smoker’s tongue fly, and then waiting five seconds for him to actually attack, by which time the survivor is now onto you and pumping your tumor-riddled face full of bullets.
I have many fallen Smokers to avenge this night.
