Next L4D2 Update Adding Versus Bots, Tweaking Auto-Spawning
As for tweaking the auto-spawning in the finale events of Versus mode, Valve says one thing they've been experimenting with is disabling them altogether -- and crunched some numbers to show why. "Across all finales in Left 4 Dead 2 currently, a single survivor has a 34.56% chance of escaping," the post reads. "That includes the Concert Finale in 'Dark Carnival,' which boasts close to a 50% escape rate (and yes, a fix for everyone's favorite cheese spot is coming). Remove the Concert Finale, and we see the average drop to 29.61%."
Clearly, that's pretty low. And with those figures, "we can measure the difference and see how much the change impacted the balance," they explained.
We'll still have to wait a few weeks to see what Valve ultimately comes up with, in addition to whatever other features, tweaks, and fixes the update brings as well. This is "not a complete list by any means," the post assures.
