Left 4 Dead 2 Community Server

Added 2021-10-15 22:00:14 +0000 UTC

Hello! I'm writing to share details of how to play on the Left 4 Dead 2 community server in advance of the WOFF! episode about the game.

I've rented a dedicated server and have set it to only allow people who are part of a temporary group I've created for this community event. To play

1. Join the Duckfeed Left 4 Dead 2 Group.
2. Wait for Kole to approve your group membership (he will do his best to check this a couple of times a day).
3. Launch Left 4 Dead 2.
4. Click "Steam Group Servers" at the bottom right of the title screen.
5. Select the Duckfeed Left 4 Dead 2 server.

I would recommend arranging game times in the #co-op-and-multiplayer channel on the Duckfeed Slack.

A few explanations:

All Duckfeed community rules apply. If we see harassment or hate speech, we will kick you and ban you from the server. Please be respectful of each other.
The server is patron and group exclusive because Left 4 Dead games have small player caps, and we want to make sure the available slots go to community members.
We're not using an existing Steam Group because we want to minimize opportunities for pubbies to get in.
We will be playing with a vanilla setup because that's how we prefer to cover games for the show.
We won't be taking requests to add custom maps or modes.
We're opting to rely on in-game voice chat instead of a Discord server because we don't want to administer another community service.

The server and group will be taken down toward the end of November after our coverage has moved on.

I hope this answers your questions, and I hope to Leave 4 Dead with you at some point!
