Left 4 Dead hosting

I really hope that anyone here who is hosting a server has not specified difficulty or co-op/vs. These settings seem to play a merry hell on the people trying to enjoy the game, as the difficulty level must be reset at every checkpoint if the group wishes to play a harder or easier game than the admin has preset it to be. Also, it would appear that if you attempt to play co-op on an admin specified versus server you will run into no special infected and after your first round you will be playing special infected against a quarry that never shows up. Valve apparently intended their servers to be created as blank slates, but seem to have neglected to inform admins of this. This comment was edited on Nov 27, 2008, 20:27.
