Why is nobody playing Left 4 Dead 2?

[Jammerz]

I just got Left 4 Dead 2 for the Xbox 360 and whenever I search for a match there is absolutely no matches what so ever and I am wondering where is everybody? I checked my internet connection its on five bars(great). So, is nobody playing it?

Then I played the original Left 4 Dead after and I found a game almost instantly, So what's happening!?!? Do people just not like the sequel or what?

Modern Warfare 2 was released. That's what the problem is.

Not sure about the people playing the first game. Boycotters? I dunno.

 

[hudsonzero]

my guess is most people are getting it for Christmas or something

Hu? What did you say? I was busy playing Left 4 Dead 2 with my friends.

Perhaps the little fanboys from the boycott are on a strike?

 

[Pimppeter2]

Because Godzilla just invaded America!

Were have you been?!?

 

[Phyroxis]

I own it.. I am not playing it.

I was about to laugh at the lack of people on (x) system, but then I though for a second... 20 games/lobbies isn't all that many compared to games like TF2. I guess when servers are hosted for the number of players you don't see so many servers floating? I know I havn't played with the same player more than once, so there must be a fairly high turnover rate of players, but perhaps L4D2 people are more likely to play 1 game then move on than spend the evening on the same game? Dunno, beyond that observation.

Im thinking it has to do with server locations (I got it for PC) and the closer the server the less lag you get. (theroy)

yes, yes I know I could just play with my friends BUT my friends are CoD fanboys and refuse to play a different type of game.

Because all the people who would actually play it bought it on PC. All the 360 fellas are playing MW2, I'm guessing.

I bet they are secretly french sissies that are afraid of getting zombie-vomit on them, and so they just claim that they are CoD-fanboys to escape your questions. But in reality we all know they are hiding in their basements playing hello kitty.

cod 6 probs

there is currently like 50 000 people playing team deathmatch in my connecting server alone.

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.

 

[Frenger]

Same reason we're not playing Left 4 Dead(1)?

Probably connection issues, I had no problem earlier today.

 

[Worgen]

probably the matchmaking is a bit buggy but I never had any trouble finding a game

 

[Crystal Cuckoo]

The Australian version's kinda shit, so that may be factor in why nobody's playing it.

 

[robman1130]

its still in santa's sack, no jokes about sack please

 

[YuheJi]

Or maybe all the people playing it are only playing with friends? Just throwing that out as another possibility.
