FP Bug in Steam Games ( Left 4 Dead )

Hello all,

I have used the Fake Player Bug over the last year or so in BF2, COD4 and COD5 and it has worked great.

My question is does this bug exist for the game "Left 4 Dead" which runs off of the Source Engine by Valve for Steam

Thanks

I can't say if the source based games are vulnerable to the fake players bug because the internet source/orangebox server requires a Steam key (and cookie for Source) from the client and I did no research on the generation of this value.

if Source has been written to allow only one client with the same Steam account then it's not vulnerable to the bug (and would be also the most logical solution since it's an authentication based game and so it has such possibility)

That is the way source was written. So according to aluigi, we're outta luck.
