this map is awesome.

i rate this map a 95 out of 100.

The scenery is really impressive.
I like the idea of surprises (the car for example)
This map is brilliantly fun to play on expert.
A good variety of areas to camp for panic events/crescanados.
A good change over the 5 maps in design.

The odd glitch.
Sometimes there are low fps.
It seems really hard for survivors on versus with teams of equal skill.
There are tier 2 weps on first chapter.

Recomended for a challenge on expert. But the challenge gets even harder on versus. 89 given

Absolutely Bloody Brilliant!
A fantastic Unique campaign that is extremely fun to play through.
A unique finale encounter, it really through me off when the (awesome) escape vehicle landed at the bottom of the mountain and me and my friends had to run down screaming "WTF" and other such phrases trying just to get to it, we failed, multiple times.

A bit glitchy at times and the rescue vehicle isn't perfect (but it's still awesome)

An absolute MUST, everyone should download it ASAP.

-Well detailed
-Thought through
- For the most part there was no confusion as to where to go
-Realistic lighting
-Good game for versus
-Fun to play more than once

-Finale not that realistic. Why would you pump an engine to call a balloon?
-Maps to diverse. You go straight from a prison to a city to a dock to a ship to an island?
-Bots get stuck in some places or decide to keep walking along the same path again and again
-The tilting ship thing was hard to traverse, and was confusing to get through.

Death Aboard is a well-thought out, detailed, and overall good map. There are some bugs, as in some non-realistic ideas and spots, and the bots not following the player(s) or the path to the safe house. However, this game was really fun to play on versus, and is even fun to play more than once in single-player and co-op. I recommend you download this game, if you havn't yet, it is worth it, even with the con's.

This map is really fun to play, doesn't look too bad, and has many surprises that you really can't find anywhere else in any other Left 4 Dead campaign. It has a nice dark look that gives a nice frightening feeling, and many effects that are simple yet creative. It has a beautiful movie poster as well. The maps are perfect lengths, and you won't get bored that fast. The level designing is really great, and made so that it could play well. Rescue closets are fully working, and that's always a nice feature. The finale is really epic and some moments you will never forget, however, I will not spoil the surprise!

The whole campaign looks a little blocky, and tanks are on every level which I don't like. The water looks weird because it's cuts in square. There are too many tanks. One last thing is that the panic event triggers are to repetitive. We get it, open a door and zombies rush, but aside from that nothing else is bad.

From breaking out of prison, to getting saved on a boat, Death Aboard has packed a lot of action into a single campaign. First you start in a prison with 3 other buddies or bots. You escape to find rescue. Later, you end in a lighthouse, fending off zombies that look like ants from all the way up. First off, the movie poster is really nicely designed, and it totally fits the Left 4 Dead environment. The darkness of this campaign gives a frightening feeling of suspense, and I found it to help the effect of being in a zombie horror movie. It has enough tips to keep you going, and yet so that you aren't stuck wondering where to go, or where it's too obvious. The survival maps are pretty nice too, they are just what you need to play survival. Items are evenly scattered which is great! Everything blends into the scenery, and most of the items that do have some vital role inside the campaign. One thing I don't like about Death Aboard is that there are too many tanks. Another thing is how blocky it looks and how the water looks cut off. Other than that, the campaign is wonderful. The finale is EPIC, as long as the boat part, however, you need to experience it to feel how awesome it is. Words cannot describe some parts of this campaign, it's really amazing. If you're looking forward to expanding your custom campaign directory, pick up Death Aboard right now.

great campaign
fun
difficult

none

it is just a great campaign

-Levels pretty different from each other, makes it more interesting to play
-Nicely detailed maps
-Very nice finale, like the idea with air baloon
-Light intensity and placement is good

- Lightning sometimes is not done very accurately everywhere
-a bit hard to confront tanks in ships corridors

In over all one of best custom campaigns I have seen. Nice job done

Well designed maps, esp the ship was interesting - placement of containers and the nasty surprise :-) Custom music was also nice. map felt somewhat easier than the original l4d maps except perhaps larger number of specials.

The finale requires running a long way back to the rescue ship. For some it is not even clear when / if the ship has arrived. Unless the final horde is not that tough you will have a hard time making it there esp without grenades. With bots on Adv it is very difficult as they tend to fall and die

Tank placement: well yes it is in tight spots but you can master dodging the tank around columns and furniture pieces :-) BTw remember people y9ou can pull a tank off someone by meleeing it - and running like hell :-)

Recommened!

- Very Cool Map to play
- Loved the Finale with the Hot Air Balloon
- The difference between the levels is absolutely amazing
- Levels are just the right size
- Weapon / Ammo placements are just right
- Special and common infected spawning correctly
- No bugs for all I can see!

Found none...

Played this round my friend's house on his Steam Account, and I must say this is now my favourite map on the website! When I get my new computer I'm going to download this and play it one more time! Very well done, it must've taken ages to plan this and get every detail perfect. I can fault nothing within this map. Any chance of transferring it into L4D2???

Again, very well done.

*Very well detailed and designed.
*Unlike some others, i think the maps fits well together= prisons are in cities, docks are also, then ship/island is obvious.
*Ship part is awesome !
*Falling Car event in the ship is too !
*Really good job for the balloon.
*Multiple ways across the level, makes it feel realistic.
*Fun To play all the way long.

*Some textures and path bug, but nothing to annoying
*Finale level not the best of all, a bit to ... BIG

Really fun and well done map.
It makes you feel you were there.
And again, i just LOVED the boat part.

Really Nice job, best map ever, could have shipped with the original game :D
Congrats !

Very fun map
Awesome Ship level messes with your head
Great idea
Love the Finale

Don't really have any

Love this map. Pretty long so if ur looking for a long campaign this is a good one.

Great level design
Custom music and sound
Innovative finale and stage
Works with L4D2 Addon Support installed

None

If you like custom campaigns for L4D then you need to have it. It works in L4D2 with Addon Support installed but you need to download a extra L4D1 assets pack to fix missing textures. Search by L4D1 Ressurection, L4D2 Conversion in l4dmods and download Fix for missing textures vpk. It will add remaining L4D1 textures didn't put by Valve addon support in game.

Awesome Finale
Very polished
Excellent design

None

Should have been a campaign that came with the game. I would recommend this campaign to anyone.
If you have not played this get it now.

- interesting final
- car trick was awesome
- prison/ boat areas well designed
- container ship nicely made like in real life.

this map is awesome.

i rate this map a 95 out of 100.

Expansive, varied terrain.
Interesting concept.
Epic finale
Well thought out crescendo events

Bots seem to have trouble pathfinding occasionally

Impressively executed map, it looks as well designed, if not more so than the one's made by Valve. The environments are interesting and well put together. It was refreshing to have to use my brain to activate one of the crescendo events.

Then there was the car in the box, now that was a dirty trick!

The only real Flaw I find with this map is that the bots seem to have a little trouble sometimes, I went on ahead once with bill following me, but Francis and Zoey were back by a railing pretty far behind. This problem however is not to prevalent, and Could easily be called irrelevant given that most people play with other humans. Still, I'm taking one point away per bot, leaving you with a very solid score of 97 out of 100. Very well done sir.

Nicely done, some good and original touches (the leaning ship for example). Kept me well entertained.

The last escape battle is insanely hard, but I suppose this might be the point.

A very good campaign that everyone should try out.

Fun and unique

nauseating on the boat XD

Fun map but you can get lost.

the place is big
its long
sometimes it's scary
but great to hide

there are many area to walk on
and the jail hall is scary

i like the campaign and i like the rescue is a hot airballoon

All:
Textures
Fantastic map details
Long
Hard

No elevators =(

This campaing is the best one for me all my friends who plays this campaing on my server dont want to stop.Good Job Best Campaing For L4D.

Fun,Long
Great Art,
Very Difficult (expert)

N/A

This is a PERFECT Campaign i could give you a 101%! (1% your cool)

- Nicely textured
- Amazingly proportioned
- Great to play with your friends
- Great hiding spots
- Very long
- Amazing Ending
- Different ways to complete level

- 2nd Map cannot be completed, but I might have a outdated version

I really see now reason why you should not play this map. It is better than the valve made maps to be perfectly honest with you.

liked the areas
lots of places to explore
first time I've ever seen a beached ship as a map
plenty of places to practice

lots of areas in the last map I fell off of
the sequence of events was bizarre
the mess hall area in the jail made little sense

good campaign, needs a little work
overall very good!

The level design was always at least as good as that in the default campaigns, and in some areas it was better.

Overall, the campaign was fairly challenging (even on easy), but it never felt overwhelming (except on expert, but that's what that difficulty is for).

I like the idea of multiple routes to the same destination, it was nice to choose my own path.

The finale was one of the most intense events I've ever played on any map/campaign.

This is the first time Left 4 Dead has scared the crap out of me.

And while the crescendo events are a little more involved than most others, it is always clear what you're supposed to do.

While I do like the concept of multiple paths, giving us only two options each time doesn't feel very much like we really have much of a choice, and while I do appreciate that you do have to label the paths in some way, I think this could have been done with a little more subtlety.

The ship level was well done, but I felt it was a little confusing at times... not too much though, and I did get the sense that this was deliberate, so I can't mark you down too much for that.

While I did enjoy the finale: holing up at the top of a lighthouse while waiting for a balloon to come in to dock at a much lower part of the island, I feel that the piloted balloon coming to the rescue was a little contrived. You might have gotten away with it if it were a different sort of balloon... like say, a derigable (which would lend itself beautifully to a follow-up campaign).

Overall, a great campaign. It was frightening, occasionally claustrophobic, and nicely varied for a prison setting. Even though I've gone through this campaign several times, I'm still not tired of it. Minor issues aside, this is a great campaign.

Keep up the good work!

-huge maps
-Very detailed
-Good, original consept/name
-Layout is excllent

-Non that i can find, Flawless

Epic map, A must try for everyone who enjoys custom content

Nice experience trough the map

More props needed
Final sometimes bug and

Awsome

perfect campaign
long
fun

-

its a very good campaign! good job :)

Good map design, long maps and with lots of detail. The Ship was awesome, made me dizzy at some points, but it was cool! the finale was nice too, being rescued in an air baloon was a great and original idea.
This campaign is as awesome as valve's campaigns

the only complaint i have is that you have to go too far from the lighthouse to be rescued in the finale, well that's my opinion

Very fun campaign to play to

4th map is awesome! Custom music is cool.

Vely low fps on some maps, you could optimize LOS, by using areaportals, func_lod and others. Strange final, to long, maybe to dangerous coz you can die easily when tank. Escape vehicle is LOL. How could it fly without someone. If addon is installed, all standart music on other campaigns not work. That car with alarm on 4th map looks creative but...

Well, to many cons. But it is playable.

Very good campaign, nice layout, map I will play a lot

none that i can see

Enjoyed this 1, you did very well

Mostly good level design

Nice custom music

Nice feeling of holding out against the horde in the final stage

Some nice unexpected and unique touches

Levels did not link together in any sensible way and seemed extremely isolated from one another

Quite frankly EVIL placement of Tanks that generally always involved the death of one player with no
chance of survival

Tilting boat was essentially a nice touch but when it is continuously tilting is just annoying

In the finale was holding out for rescue for around 20 minutes and yet still none appeared, or if it did was not obvious that it had

Some crescendo events a little too easy

Each stage has a nice feel to it and they all seperately feel well made, however put together they don't hold any kind of coherency, which a proper campaign should have. This results in a fun playthrough but not a feeling of an overall jounrney as in official campaigns. The finale has an effect of feeling very much like a last stand but then the escape didn't seem to turn up, again diminishing the journey.

Almost everything. It's original, extremely well made and has a perdect length! It has a perfect name and I really like the image for it.

You managedto squeeze out all the bugs! I can't find any!

I also really enjoyed traversing the sinking ship, walking along sideways halls and gantries is always fun!

None.

This is with no doubt my favourite Left 4 Dead campaign. Everything aobut it is awesome. I can remember playing the original, with only one map and zombies in the starting room. This has grown a lot since then. xI always had high hopes for Death Aboard. (:

Was put together extremely well. If i didn't download this and it just popped up in my add on list, i would have assumed that i was an official map. The crescendo events were amazingly placed and the whole "story" of this map is really really extreme.

The only thing that bugged me the most ( which isn't very much at all ) Was that at the final stand, after we defeated the tank we had to run like.. all the way across the map to get to the escape vehicle. It wouldn't have bothered me much if my team and i didn't die like.. 4 times trying to get there. But again, this wont by any means stop me from playing it. =)

Its an extremely clever map, that was very well put together. The level design was awesome, it was fun to play with bots as well as friends, and it makes me want to play it some more just writing about it. The perfect balance of everything for a map. i highly suggest that anyone who comes to this site, regardless of whether or not you become a member, or are just looking for a quick download cause you're bored of the 5 original campaigns, to give this one a try. It's one that you'll play over and over again.

-Very interesting Finale
-Fun
-Detailed
-Great Amount Of Witches and Tanks

-A few Glitches

Great Map reccomended for everyone.

-would be great for VS maps
-huge maps (pro and con)
-the ship level panic was hella tense
-navigation was clear and i did not get lost (much)

-too big for a run through coop mode
-too big to contain little details that make you go 'wow'
-not too coherent to tie in the maps

some good parts, but also some bad parts. the map was big for its own sake, and not good on flow or pacing.
