u press the “i wanna go afk” button, and ur character becomes a bot and u turn into 3rd person camera and can go do ur afk stuff. then come back and resume/possess the said bot and go back to playing.
You’d lose the quickplay bonus, does not work outside of premades, and you’d have to go through two loading screens when maybe you just need to clean a soda spill, let the dog out, answer the door or god knows what else that would only really take 3-5 minutes.
L4D’s pause button would be a very nice addition to the game imo.
