This, it was terrible when we tried last night - hope this gets sorted soon as I was looking forward to bashing some zombies.

I played through a campaign online in co-op last night and bar one bad bit of lag which lasted maybe 7-10 seconds it was just great and that's with 2 from the UK and one from the US.

Even from Hawaii which gets lots of lag by the sheer nature of being 2000 miles from the mainland US where our connectivity originates, l4d2 is a pretty smooth experience.

Is it just down to a lack of decent UK servers?

Is this lag on XBL? PC version here and no lag at all from the dedicates?

I'm really liking the new version so far. Got a couple of campaigns to go through still but I prefer the fact that each level isn't just 'get from A to B and defend B'. There's little tasks to complete and it isn't so obviously linear. Yes, you're forced through a particular path but quite a few times I've got lost and found myself going in a circle. I'm sure this will fade as the levels become familiar but for now it's a nice change. Melee weapons are also awesome. LOVE the axe. Seems to be some decent banter between the characters too which is nice... and I also like the way each campaign carries on from the last. You could easily make an evening of getting through the entire game.

On the downside, how ****ing annoying are the Jockeys?! Pain in the arse. Chargers too... and the Spitters... haha! OK they're all annoying as hell. Also, would it hurt the bots to pick up a spare pipe-bomb occasionally? At least give me the option to give one to someone...

I believe it is Xbox Live only, yes, but it's also nowhere near as bad as some of the reports I've heard from my experiences and I've put 3-4 hours in online.

I had the same problem with lag when playing through the campaign using dedicated servers so changed to hosting the games and that resolved the issue.

**** me, the finalé on the bridge is hard!

The easiest thing to do on the bridge it take the adrenaline and run for it. With a good team shooting as they run its relatively easy.

I tried this but the bots just love a good shootout! Definitely need to start some online co-op, as that's clearly where the problem lies.
