How do you increase the draw distance in L4d2?

Basically ive played this game so much i know where most special infected spawn when playing in the campaign maps. I always use the sniper rifle as soon as i get it. I've noticed that the draw distance is pretty short and i often have to zoom in with the scope to see far enough to pick off far away specials/zombies. I get over 200FPS most of the time so would be willing to sacrifice 40-50% performance for 40-50% longer draw distance. How do i make that happen?

If you have maxxed out the draw distance on the games settings (If you can even change that) then it is as far as it will go. It is a game's program settings and not a computer trait in which you can sacrifice GPU/CPU perfromance for in game draw distance. Only if the games settings (of if a game can have addons, and those work) allows the draw distance to increase can it actually be increased.

Is LF4D a single player game?

I seem to remember trying it alone on HARD and it was REALLY hard...?

You can play it single player, and it is hard at first, but i have over 1500 hours into l4d1 and l4d2 combined so can beat it single player on expert with only a melee weapon. Hell i have even beat most campaigns with just a healthpack and no weapon. Sometimes i wonder why i still love these games so much.
