Valve a mis à jour le blog de Left 4 Dead avec des détails sur les travaux en cours sur le système de matchmaking :
To support the SDK, we are extending the matchmaking system to allow for third party campaigns. We will be adding extra features so players will be able to find dedicated servers running the campaigns they have installed. They will also be able to see friends playing third party campaigns, and be directed to download them as necessary. Another major feature we are planning to add to the matchmaking system at a future date is team-based Versus matching. This will allow two teams of four to locate each other and compete in a Versus match.
We are also revamping our player matching based on skill level. Currently the system tries to match people with the same skill level and best pings together. We will be revisiting this system to tweak it based on data we have collected.
La bonne nouvelle, c’est qu’ils n’ont pas oublié le jeu. La mauvaise, c’est que le SDK est annoncé pour après la sortie du Survival Pack (le 21 avril).
