It has been discussed, debating, and argued about for as long competitions have existed.  The question is how far are you willing to go to try to win.  The line between being morally questionable, to down right cheating is always a blurry one especially when it comes to gaming.

 So scripting seems to be a hot topic of debate amongst the Left 4 Dead community.  I had stated it pretty much lies in the hands of the powers that be (League admins + Valve) to deem whether certain scripts are legal or not.  The most notable occurance was when the melee spam script was deemed illegal and soon after disabled by Valve.  However this time around CAL admins had this to say about their stance on scripting.

Oh noes the zombie apocalypse is upon us.  Some hackers found their way into those digital road signs you see when areas are under construction and changed the caption to Zombies Ahead.

Lcpuche over at the steam forums put together a list of easter eggs in Left 4 Dead.  Some I knew about, some I didn't.  All in all it has some pretty interesting stuff.

The new patch has changed the face of competitive play.  Fortunately for us all of these changes are great for the game, and brought it in line with much of what I said L4D needs to be a competitive game ( http://left4dead.gameriot.com/blogs/I-thought-it-was-the-brakes/What-Left-4-Dead-Needs-to-Become-a-Viable-Competitive-Game-1 ).

Lets go over the things that influenced this style of play:
