Bind some cheats that allow you to respawn the survivor bots and give them health. Then do 4 infected against 4 survivor bots, and just slaughter them over and over.

Then, when the round is over, just switch teams and do it all over again.

When we pay versus coop, we play the infected 100% of the time, and we keep bringing the bots back until they're almost at the safe room. On the off-chance that they get to the safe room and we have revived them, we just spawn a boat load of witches in front of the door. Nails them every time.

Well I am still looking for mods that improve the bots, make their reaction time better..etc so it is actually a challenge to attack them. There are some botfix mods on l4dmaps but they need more of a kick imo.

The problem the botfix addon on l4dmaps has is that it does not address the saccade speed of the bots. It's really too slow, they move their cursor around like someone using an analog stick. They also have two different speeds and have trouble adjusting between the two.

I've found that using these two cvars can really help improve the bots performance by allowing them to turn and aim at enemies with speed and precision.

sb_combat_saccade_speed 9999.0
sb_normal_saccade_speed 9999.0

Also, it really helps to have a server with Sourcemod and the plugins that can teleport to cursor and respawn and give items.

Would those commands work if i put them in the launch options?

How about a couple of new maps to play? Maybe a new weapon or two?
One more nice update for the loyal fans out there?

Thank you for your time.

Im with you on this too but Combatmedic is right about Valve injecting more into this franchise mostly for PC but they are doing things for thoughs of us on Xbox too. It just takes way longer for us Xboxers to get the stuff. Now if the workshop comes to Xbox that could change things for the better i believe. As long as Valve has faith in the L4D franchise and the steam fans for Xbox/PC have faith in L4D it should carry on into the future.
