If they want to have their matchmaking system, thats fine...but they should have left the traditional way as a main item as well.

:thumbsup:

It already is though Valve has even said so. Just follow my first post. For some reason it is just not active.

A little.

Here are some of your options:

Open the console and type 'openserverbrowser'

Open server browser button stays on l4d right underneath play single player

If you don't like 3rd part mods or do not trust them then follow what Valve said
You don't need to download any mod, just add -serverbrowser to your command line if you want to enable the serverbrowser on the menu.

so you can start the game with the -serverbrowser at the end of the startup command?

anyone else annoyed by the fact it takes multiple attempts to join a random game because it always kicks you back out saying the game is full?
