Today the public version of the Left 4 Dead 2 Demo has been released by valve.

We have multipile Left 4 Dead 2 demo servers up, servers can also be ordered now from only £6.80 per month, customers who have ordered demo servers will be upgraded automatically upon full release.

Today we have been discussing what would be the best date to release XFS3.0.

XFS3.0 has the latest scripting technology, making it more accessible to users, to find what you want with less hassle.

Accompanying the new release of the site, will be ground breaking price drops these include:

• Game servers
• Web-hosting
• Dedicated servers
• Co-location
• Clan deals

The final release date has yet to be decided, but with any luck its currently set for next week.

Also happening next week, we have a data center visit planned; there should be no downtime experienced as we are installing new equipment and not taking the network offline.

Only 8 days to go till MW2 ( Modern Warfare 2 ) is released, already alot of community, competitive clans are dissapointed due to the lack of dedicated server files.

One of IW’s ideas was to ” cut down on piracy “, this is only one thory why there are no dedicated servers. Yet this is not stopping the current xbox piracy, where people 8 days before the official release date are playing MW2.

Just yesterday, IW ( infanity Ward ) pulled a video from Youtube which showed ” grenade spam “.

Even tho IW is getting alot of negitivity about MW2 for the PC, is it reallyi going to be that bad?

We will soon see on the 10th of november 2009
