Left 4 Dead Matchmaking Getting Tweaked

left4dead5preview

 

In a blog post in the Left 4 Dead blog, Zoid Kirsch from Valve posted that users will have the ability to find third party campaigns and utilise team based versus match making. And I quote:

 

To support the SDK, we are extending the matchmaking system to allow for third party campaigns. We will be adding extra features so players will be able to find dedicated servers running the campaigns they have installed. They will also be able to see friends playing third party campaigns, and be directed to download them as necessary. Another major feature we are planning to add to the matchmaking system at a future date is team-based Versus matching. This will allow two teams of four to locate each other and compete in a Versus match.

 

The regular matchmaking is also getting tweaked, no details about it other than watch out for the next blog post. The Left 4 Dead Survival Pack is due out on April 21st and the SDK should follow shortly after.
