    never gotten into chargers either tbh, only use them for karmas or scattering for cheap bounty.

    don't really like using spitters either. I know they were the king class before, but they just feel boring to me.

    Well, they released a new windows version of sourcemod which is not gonna help us since we run Linux but Linux should be next.

    I can also read there are already issues with the Windows version so I hate to say this but we're probably not gonna make the weekend, which sucks because it's L4D2 free weekend, nice timing Valve...

    If you want to follow the progress see this topic on alliedmodders: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=219780

    Every server in my faves is down so seems like every modded server was affected.

    Would Valve purposely bork the custom servers so that the noobs would only see vanilla servers for the free weekend?

    New metamod and sourcemod are released. Still more work to be done because we need to recompile a lot of stuff.

    Believe it or not, but Valve actually used to hate to see their games being hacked/modded. However thats exactly what keeps those games alive. But CS:S and L4D2 are completely different stories from valve's eyes.. Modding suits CS:S as you can do pretty much everything there as they have tools such as server side downloader. But L4D2 is very limited compared to CS:S and TF2.

    Now it looks as if they would love to see more of L4D2 modding for the first time, which makes me feel that i actually can't wait to see whats coming up next for L4D2.

    Working on bringing the servers back online guys but can take a while, a lot of plugins still need re-compiling and updating. I also have to switch to another Linux distro otherwise a lot of plugins don't work.

    VI is almost back online but crashing, investigating that so it all can still take a while.
