That is such BS. There needs to be like a group of you Aussies that does a bunch of clever things to bring down the OFLC

I'll be interested to see exactly what is being cut from the game.

Most of the guys i play l4d with have already bought it so that means i probably will too, but i'd like to think i'm not missing out on too much. That or some crafty modder comes up with a way round it/valve updates with a patch so we can play the full version.

Valve won't release a patch. They were only going to do that if the appeal went through, which it hasn't.

It's been bought now.

Now to wait to see what happens with regards to restoring the gore.

lol, I simply miss the entire point of Aussie cutting this game because of the gore, they scared people are going to buy a chainsaw and blame it on the game later?

What annoys me the most is, that in the censored version there will be no riot cop infected spawning and consecutively, if a player with the censored version joins a game, no riot cops are showing for everyone, even if they have the uncut version.

This was allegedly done to get past the German rating system and since there's only one censored version, Australians will also get that one.
People have already said that they will kick/ban players with German and Australian IPs to avoid having reduced features.
Well, as a consolation we get extremely awesome Counterstrike weapons...

Why couldn't they just have changed that riot cop to some regular zombie carrying some armor/shield thing in front of it in the censored version?
Why cutting it entirely, then forcing everybody else's client to adapt?

Basically, we're getting German censorship applied to all other countries now, because Valve bowed to it.

Actually, Australians are not really a problem, because they are locked on their island anyway with their shitty trans-oceanic internet connection.
Also, Germans most likely won't bother players in the Americas, but in Europe they will fuck up a lot of servers.

But hey, Couterstrike weapons!

Well, I have the uncut version myself, so, missing one type of enemy is still way better than having reduced gore and everything else missing in the censored version.
Seeing that you're from Australia, I should more likely be sorry for you...

I feel your pain Globefish, as I occupy the small often overlooked nation next to Australia and pretty much always play with Aussies I very rarely get a game with riot squad infected.

Wow the whole censorship thing is retarded. That video globefish posted almost makes me angry how they have put together all the footage for this shit but block out all the actual gameplay. (killing) Also in that video, the page mislabels the Krieg sniper rifle as the Sig 552, and the scout in game footage is fucked up. It looks like some noob modders just threw the guns into the game.

Actually, all the weapons in CS:S had made-up names, sounding similar to the original.
"Krieg" was the made-up name for the Swiss weapons manufacturer SIG.
"Schmidt" was the made-up name for the Austrian weapons manufacturer Steyr.
