i know what you mean. when i play on pc i might find 20 lobbies and this tally saying
"there are XXXXXX amount of people playing L4D2 right now" at which point im forced to ask WHERE? lol
Use the server browser on PC.

Use console> command = openserverbrowser

Then find games like you would any other Valvegame. Much more effective than the search-lobby=game method used by default.

I just got it last night at roughly 12:00 PM, so that's why I haven't really been playing it much.

Two things;
.Modern Warfare
.Left 4 Dead 2 on 360 has noted server issues that Valve are working on

Also, PC gamers get many fellow gamers.
I played tons and never had an issue on the 360. I was kicked from 1 game and that was the only time I had ever been dropped from a match. I never had a single problem finding one (except when they stick me in the body of a near dead survivor). Nothing beats spawning into a hunter attack.

Maybe because versus is to long. Or everyone is playing scavenge. Maybe they are like me and got the majority of the achievements and by then were tired of it. Maybe they are all playing private matches.

I am getting L4D2 for xmas and am hoping that a bunch of people are as well. I was thinking about buying it off of steam but my girlfriend found it on black friday for 30 bucks at gamestop so ill just be waiting till xmas to get it. So im guessing there should be a spike of people playing it after xmas.

Because all the people who would actually play it bought it on PC. All the 360 fellas are playing MW2, I'm guessing.
Actually, I have L4D2 and I have access to MW2 and don't want to play either.

I didn't find L4D2 fun, and I hate generic shooters.

They're all here, too busy posting on this site about why they aren't playing L4D2...

It got DA:O and L4D2, rented tekken 6 and borderlands..... EVERYBODY on my friends list OWNS MW2 and is currently playing it... so I got a copy and have not played L4D2 since I got the med kit. Not that i'm playing MW2 or anything, I got like 13 hours on it, but I'm playing dragon age. Which everyone is asking me if they should get it vs. ass creed 2. I say dragon age is good (i'm on my 5th play though, first time not as an elf, with 25 hours for each) but ass creed 2 looks very good. Also I heard this thread that the trailer suck because DA is not an action game... If your on easy or normal using a sword, its an action game.

I know I'll be getting it.

However, the answer to your problem is Mordern Warfare 2 or *Le gasp*

The boycott worked. XD

Any "LULZ BECUZE TEH 360 VERSUN IS TEH FAILZ, PC 4 TEH WIN!" posters, just letting you know you've been reported for trolling.

On topic, I'll be playing it from christmas, so hopefully whatever the issue is it'll be sorted by then.

Mako SOLDIER, that's the point, on 360 you'll have to pay for the DLC, on pc you won't, I don't have any issues on the PC, sorry orrigional poster, think the L4D players went to the PC :\

Meh, I have it, I play it occasionally, my problem is that I played a little bit of competitive L4D1 and now can't stand playing with the average public team with no voice chat and a loose grasp on how to play the game, probably doesn't help that I've completed probably the most challenging aspect of the game (Swamp Fever on Expert with Realism Mode on).

However in answer to your question it could be the boycott, or perhaps most of the L4D2 community is made up of the hardcore competitive types, and the rest is made up of people only playing with their friends, which you can't really blame them for considering how long the average campaign takes.

cause we all know that lfd2 is just lfd... so why bother spending more money on the same game :). that and wait till boxing day get your achieve points and play something fresh. Like a halo sequel (cough)

Because whilst L4D2 has added more to the core of L4D and has made the vs mode (the one I player most) a much tighter game they have not introduced any way to resolve the high number of asshats that play the game, rage quitters, suicide quitters, lobby leaders that bugger off, people who join then do nothing and idiots who play MW2 and then think they can play L4D2 using the same principles of zero team work just run and shoot everything.

Well, my cousin brought Left 4 Dead 2 over while I was still on the fence about getting it or not, and while I was playing it I realised it was the same exact game that, while amazing at first, simpley got old after the first 3 weeks or so. So, I suppose it just felt to much like a clone with a new cast of characters for me to pick it up. I instead dumped my money into pre-ordering Mass Effect 2.
