Hello,
I would like to try the codes in L4D2, but I can't open the console during the game. Can you help me (and explain all the steps ^^)?
Thank you
Configuration: Windows 7 / Internet Explorer 8.0

I found that for those interested, you need to go to Steam, display the game list, then right-click on L4D2, properties, set launch options...
then you write "-console" (don't forget the -) after you launch the game and normally there will be the console inside, you write: "bind "F11" toggleconsole" (F11 allows you to open it; you can set a different key). After that you start a game but in solo mode because it doesn't work in multiplayer, then you press F11 to open the console, then you type vs_cheats 1 (if it tells you
Can't use cheats now; please exit to main menu and start your own listen server with "map mapname" so that you could enable cheats.
you write the phrase on the top right where it says map, for example, if you are on the first map it will be map c1m1_hotel. After that you'll be in the menu, you write it a 2nd time still in the console to go back to the game)(then you write vs_cheats 1 (if it tells you
Unknown command: vs_cheats
then type god 1 and it will tell you
Can't use cheat cvar god in multiplayer, unless the server has sv_cheats set to 1.
you select sv_cheats and copy-paste it into the console.
And there you go, now you can use the codes
have fun^^

Note: This only works in solo, which is annoying...
Happy cheating!!!
