who will be getting it?
i can't wait...

i still don't really know how it is actually played in multiplayer - will we have to play on dedicated servers? or does one client host the game on demand? how many players can play now? i heard values from 4 up to 9 player slots per game... would look wierd on a dedicated server :S

It'll have to be dedicated servers for PC users. It would be a total flop if they did peer to peer servers for PC's. No one has that sort of bandwidth to run a PC game that way. XBOX Live connections are optimized for that sort of gameplay. Max number of players is 8. Maybe you should look at some of the L4D threads that have been posted in the past for info ;p

It's pretty easy for me. If there is dedicated servers and we get one then I'll get the game. If we don't get a server then I won't.
