The new [ODR66] Left For Dead 2 Community server is up and running, and while the dedicated server support isn’t perfect, it is still much improved over the original.
The easiest way to join is to be part of the [ODR66] Community Group, at which point it will show up normally in your game, but this method only allows you to join, and vote for new maps in-game.
If you want to connect from a lobby and set your own rules, use the following method:
1.) Enter the settings menu and make sure you enable “Developers Console”
2.) Enter the Console by pressing the ~ key (its the key directly to the left of the “1” key.
3.) Type sv_search_key odr66 (then press enter)
4.) Now create a lobby and launch!
If nobody is online to play with when you launch don’t worry about it, once in-game I find it fills fast! As long as at least one person is in it, it usually never takes more than a few min.
Let me know if you have any issues using it, and hope more people will make use of it this time!
Enjoy!

Oh cool! I will tell the SA clan about this as a few of us have L4D2 (not a lot of us, but some)!

Well both times I was in I got voted out by people I do not know. 3rd time I tried to play (different days) and saw no one was in it said my Steam ID is banned. Why would that be? I have never done anything wrong and I don’t know the people kicking me. Send me a message on the forums please or can admin email me?
