Frequently Asked Questions about Left 4 Dead 2 Server Hosting
By default, Left 4 Dead 2 supports up to 4 players in cooperative modes and up to 8 players in Versus mode. However, with SourceMod plugins and dedicated servers, you can increase player counts up to 32 players. Listen servers are limited to 8 players maximum, but dedicated servers with SourceMod can support much larger player counts for enhanced multiplayer experiences.
Yes, Left 4 Dead 2 servers fully support mods and plugins through SourceMod and Metamod. You can install various plugins to extend max players, add custom campaigns, modify game modes, and enhance gameplay. Popular tools like L4DToolz and Left12Dead allow you to customize player limits and server settings extensively.
To configure max players, add commands to your listenserver.cfg (local) or server.cfg (dedicated): sv_maxplayers 8, sv_visiblemaxplayers 8, sv_force_unreserved 1, and l4d_survivor_limit 8. For dedicated servers, include +maxplayers 8 in your startup command. Use SourceMod plugins to increase beyond the default 8-player limit.
Yes, port forwarding is essential for allowing outside connections to join your dedicated server. Without port forwarding, other players most likely will not be able to connect to your server. You need to forward the game port (typically 27015) and query port through your router to enable external access.
For hosting 32 players, you need a dedicated server with SourceMod and Metamod installed, along with plugins that support increased player counts. The server requires sufficient CPU power and bandwidth. Note that game modes must be configured properly with commands like 16v16 to allocate player slots correctly, as players will otherwise be stuck in spectator mode.
