The survival mode in l4d is awesome. But there is huge problem with exploiters/cheaters/noobs.

Many of the maps contains way to get out if designed area. Up to somewhere where zombies can’t come or to somewhere much easier place. I don’t like to play this way, but sometimes it is annoyingly hard to find server with people that doesn’t want to cheat.

I don’t say that people should stop cheating, I say that they should stop ruining game of other players.

On server where there is a cheaters (aka noobs that can’t play without exploits) they will try to exploit, if you try to stop them, they will vote to restart the round or to kick you. After that you try to find new server and hope that there isn’t any cheaters.

Ways to avoid this:

• Play only on maps that can’t be exploited – (you can’t play all maps )
• Wait valve to fix maps – (they are doing l4d2, they probably won’t fix maps)
• Play with friends and kick cheaters – (works only if you have friend online that wants to play)
• Host game on your server and manually kick idiots. – (maybe the best one, but only if you have good bandwidth)
• Don’t play survival – (But if you really want to play survival, its not an option)

L4d is awesome game, but some ppl try to do everything to make me ragequit.
