Left 4 Dead 2 Server Hosting, Explained
New to Left 4 Dead 2?
What is Left 4 Dead 2?
Left 4 Dead 2 is Valve's co-op shooter set in the zombie apocalypse. Four survivors fight from safe room to safe room through campaigns across the Deep South, from Savannah to New Orleans, against hordes of infected and special infected like the Charger, Jockey and Spitter. The AI Director changes the enemies, items and pacing to match how the team plays, so no two runs are the same. Versus hands the special infected to a second team, and the Steam Workshop adds custom campaigns, weapons and mutations.
Four-Player Co-op.
Heal and revive each other, and react fast when a special infected pins someone.
Versus and More.
Play as the infected in Versus, or take on Survival, Scavenge and Realism.
Why rent a server?
What is Left 4 Dead 2 Server Hosting?
A Left 4 Dead 2 lobby runs on one player's PC, so everyone plays on that player's connection and the game ends when they leave. A dedicated server keeps yours online around the clock, without a PC left on at home or ports to forward. With Physgun it deploys in minutes, with the game mode, difficulty, start map and passwords in the panel, Workshop addons installed when it starts, a choice of vanilla or SourceMod, and full file access over SFTP and SSH.
Always Online.
Your server stays up when the host logs off, so your group can play any time.
Full Control.
Set your mode, difficulty and map, add Workshop campaigns, and play vanilla or with SourceMod.
