hello, I am an Australian and I have an american friend who is gifting me left 4 dead 2 due to the rated version being mass fail, but I wanted to ask am I able to play online with other australians who only have the cut version? because in my thoughts wouldn't the violence level just be effects like playing with shadow quality on and playing with others that have it off, I know thats a bad example but you get what I mean. Because yes I am wanting to buy it but only if I can play the online game with the gore as it is suppose to be.

i believe that imports should work fine, but even if it doesnt there is a trick to reenable gore anyways.

I know you can change some numbers in certain settings, but u can only play with people who have that setting enabled aswell then apparently, but I was told that if imported you CAN play with everyone with gore on, no matter wether they do or not, and I just want a confirm from a australian who has also done this.

Yup it'll be fine.

I imported 6 copies of L4D2 from overseas, all of which worked fine, and a friend recently had a friend from the US gift her a copy during the last sale.

You get the full proper violence, and can play on local servers, all works swell.

Nope its a free update, so as soon as you install / begin downloading L4D2 steam wil also automatically download and install the passing update.

Valve updates are almost always free, unless you're on consoles. Microsoft makes them charge.
