L4D update adds Melee Fatigue!

[CyberPitz]

Finally...
Updates to Left 4 Dead have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

Game and client changes

* Introduced fatigue to the melee attack in versus mode. You will see a HUD display when your melee swing is cooling down
* Boomer vomit will now pass through common infected
* Addressed some surround sound detection issues
* Fixed a rare crash when exiting Left4Dead on Windows Vista
* Fixed a case where the complete all expert campaigns achievement was not being rewarded


Dedicated server changes

* Corrected an issue where Windows based dedicated were sending spurious shutdown notifications to the master causing them to delist temporarily
* Fixed dedicated servers not resetting the versus team swap correctly--you could join a dedicated server that had a previous game that was swapped and arrive on the other team than what was selected in the lobby
* Renamed the tags for sv_search_key to use "key:" in the server tags instead of "sv_search_key." This should help with issues of the 63 character limit of server tags
* Fixed an occasional server crash related to voting

I, for one, love this fix. The Boomer's bile is fixed now, and now the closet/corner camping is that much more difficult. HURRAY!!

Hooray!

Maybe!

I'll see how it goes when I play L4D vs again.

It's bloody mental playing with melee fatigue, but awesome too.

We had a good game last night, it changes some tactics and makes closet camping a bit harder and most certainly gives boomers more points

Maybe this will end up becoming a real horror survival game.
