+ very faithful to Half-Life 2
+ well designed activation switches
+ textures were well done
+ very very fun to play

- a lot of witches
- finale could have been better
- hard gauntlet event

Overall this is a very well put together campaign. in my play through there were a lot of specials to try and kill me around every corner, or maybe that's the intention? great work.

Looks and feels familiar - HL2 goodness all over.

Great lighting and a solid effort in bringing these maps back to life.

Not all of the HL2 maps translate well to this style of game.

The last level has an odd feel to it.
My apologies for not being able to be more specific.

If, like many of us, you loved HL2 back in the day, what are you waiting for? Get downloading.
If you never played nor enjoyed HL2, you may want to give it a spin, but there are more solid offerings on this site.

Amazing Level Design
Dynamic Weather
Long Maps
Great Sound Design
Beautiful/Gritty feeling to the campaign

A few Nav issues. (Zombies climb over invisible objects)
Some weird instances where the tank dies pretty quickly. (Not really sure if this is an issue with the map or the game itself.)

Overall I was amazed at how wonderful the level design was. I always thought the HL2: Ep.1 Maps would make a cool l4d campaign,and I'm really glad you didn't just port the Ep.1 maps into l4d2, you made it fit the left 4 dead atmosphere. Other than a few Nav issues, this is one of the best campaigns I've seen, and frankly more interesting than some of the Valve created maps. Keep it up!
NEXT: RAVENHOLM MAP?

Detailed-Atmospheric-Long-Fun-AI(bots)great-Nice effects
as in rain,fire etc-Awesome planecrash.
A must have.

none

Wish I had a better view on planecrash(next time).
Has bits of everything.Easy to follow.Tons of fun.Highly recommended.
Thank you for this great campaign.Brilliant work,worthy of praise.

beginning - middle - end

The music is epic, perfect for l4d, though I wish it lasted longer and played through hordes(music from the hospital)

ummmmmmmmmm....
well............
ughhhhhhhhh.......

epic master peice, good job.

btw, I think that song is from hl2, but what is it, track etc? its badass

Awesome
Lots of panic events
Lots of uncommon infected

up to 3 tanks at one time
too many common infected

A fun campaign to play that follows what happens in Half Life 2 just not too many tanks would be better

Everything

Streets too shiney in spots
Can be too easy at times with excessive throwables

I never did ge the chance to play this for L4D1 so I can only go by what I've seen here. The campaign is outstanding. The events, the effects, details. The storm and fires kick some ass, was very fun to play. The way you could be in a destroyed building. Be under shelter 1 second, then step over and be below a destroyed floor, having the rain come down on u in that spot only with rain sounds playing accordingly, good stuff. Nice custom music, the whole place is creepy but the music makes it creepier. Awesome job, looking forward to more!

Good remake of HL2
Nice music
The fire and rain events
The helicopter event was awesome
Easy to navigate
The lightning was really realistic

Too many molotovs,pipebombs,healthkits,...
Its hard to see through in the fire event
Tanks are too easy to kill
Bots are sometimes running in their own will
The final is a bit soft you could make a little more zombies

It was one of the best maps ive ever played. I really enjoyed the "Half life 2" feeling.
Still there were some open areas which you can fill in with something and the bots
are idiots. Good job i hope you'll make more maps.

Great Level Design
Good Length
Not too Hard or too Easy

A Little too many Witches but it made a good theme aswell
Finale could have a little more work done to it

Very Good Campaign, Extremly Enjoyable DOWNLOAD!
Only problem I suffered is that the Sky on the 4th Map didnt load but the Pink Sky looked like a Sunrise

-Great intro for a mod
-Very reminiscent of Half Life 2 Episode 1. You'll never get lost if you played it.
-Fairly challenging even on Normal (pro/con)
-Great weather effects
-Well placed crescendo effects
-Great Finale

-Tanks spawn in too close quarters and around corners
-Too many witches spawn at the end of map 1. (As many as 3)
-Difficulty mainly caused by friendly AI not familiar with area (Ai kept falling down in the crescendo event in the 2nd map)
-Uneeded and dangerous platform(s) at finale.
-Too many tanks that spawn at the same time at the finale

It's not a must have but I would prefer if you played Half Life 2 Episode 1.

Great mapping.
Hard Rain storm effects.
Custom music.
Plenty of infected.
Combine ragdolls :).
Awesome escape and panic events.
Dead Center smoke Effect.
Also the plain crashing was really great.

None.

This is one of the best maps i've ever played on here and whoever made this should really make a white forest map! That would be awesome. This map was awesome

-Amazing design.
-Loved the hidden combine soldiers- fun easter eggs!
-LOVED the music in the hospital- very well done!
-Great to play- felt like playing HL2 all over again.
-Felt like a professional campaign.
-Creative crescendo events.

-Shotgun and uzi don't spawn until very far into the first chapter
-After you do get the tier 1 guns, ammo is scarce in 1st and 2nd chapters.
-witches tend to spawn 2 at a time
-Played twice so far, and both times, tank spawned once I hit the button to start the elevator sequence, making it almost impossible.

Great campaign! It was a lot of fun to play, and you were really creative in crescendo events. It's great for a HL2 fan, but it's also great for someone who hasn't played HL2. Loved the mix of dynamics, such as smokey rooms, stormy exteriors, etc. You took the best parts of all the Left 4 dead 2 campaigns and put them in one custom one. Thanks!

Level design is great;
Good crescendo event in 2nd map with alarm(like in dead center);
Maps are not short and not so long;
Awesome fourth stage, with that half life music;
Not lagging for me

My Friend has a purple sky in some stages;
Hard rain effect doesn't fit in this campaign;
Too many witches in 1st level, kinda annoying;
Final is okay, but needs more molotovs\bombs and other stuff, because there're like 5 tanks.

One of the coolest custom campaigns made for l4d2

Left 4 Dead Port = SUCCESS
Good Episode 1 remake, its basically like playing episode 2 but with all zombies in 4 player co-op (excluding the citadel level).
Good finale and crescendos representing what actually happened in the game.
Bots seemed to know what they were doing, excluding the bad bots and their usual shenanigans.
Adding the Half Life 2 music was great for the mood,
Dead combine and other models made it look even more accurate.
Scripted plane on roof was beautiful, as me and my friends stood there screaming until it flew past.
No major bugs or texture errors.
With burning buildings like dead center, and a raining level like hard rain, you get the best of both games.
Took advantage of Left 4 Dead bonuses, added tons of new weapons and a gauntlet crescendo as well! This isn't just an ordinary port!

Finale it is easy to accentually walk back earlier of the level before the radio was signaled, giving some surprise special infected attacks.
Some people will not appreciate it if they don't know the half life 2 franchise.
Some rooms are quite empty, but that won't matter to Half Life 2 fans.

This map was a beauty. I loved every minute of it as we ran through memory lane. Very few bugs, and great crescendo/panic events, demand you play this now. NOW

Very complete
Nice tweeks added from the l4d version
Seems more balanced in l4d2 than l4d somehow.
Most of the l4d routing glitches seem sorted.
Loadsa fun

um...

nope.

Got nothing.

The original L4D map was extremely good. This is somewhat better than the original. I'm not sure if I could say this is the best of the custom campaigns for l4d, although I'd have a hard time arguing against someone who was saying it. For now, however, it is certainly the best l4d2 campaign map out there, shading dead city.

Nice update. Good job.

The whole campaign is very smooth from beginning to end. No question or mystery of how map transitioned at all.
Map is visually satisfying, nothing out of place.

I'll just place this sentence in here because this field is required.

The finale was very difficult, especially with two tanks and so many ways in which the infected could flood in. Other than this, this is Valve quality mapping. Here's to hoping this gets loaded into their servers as a Valve pick! Cleanest map I've ever played.

* Varied locations
* Effective placement of special infected
* Works in single player just fine

* Not actually in City 17 (no man-hacks, no Breen screens, no Citadel in the background)

It's every bit as good as the official campaign missions.

better then the one for l4d
the jukebox in that bar

bots get stuck in the beginning
random weapons just stuck up on the wall ------>very unrealistic
third map needs to fix lighting... if it's rainin it isn't that sunny
at the finale the tanks died instintly after spawning and never attacked

only three words can describe this campaign: "it's pure awesomness" I liked this version way better than the first one, especially the whole run and turn off the alarm thing. the only thing I really didn't like was the lighting on the third map because if it was raining that hard with lighning goin off everywhere then it would be pretty dark, o and there would be a whole bunch of water pooling everywhere. so yeah fix the lighting and you're all set

big map

bugs, incomplete
i was stucked in stage 3 in a building where you have to break the door with alarm, but that sh*t wont allow u to open it,and i was stucked there,running around to look for a path, u should not post ur map here before you 100% completed it.

a lot of problems

-Everything

-Nothing

As I have already submitted a Pros/Cons on the L4D1 version i guess all i could say that was better in this was its for L4D2 as well :)
1 of the 1st add-on maps I was truely amazed by and still is. (Still in my top 5)

-Great remake of HL2 map
-Like storm and fire event
-Like panic events
-Music is great
-Navs are ok
-Like evacuation train
-Like HL outside suroundings, love it
-Images for all campaing

-Some weapons placed not realistic (I mean flying in the air, also I always like when they are placed by the dead soldiers, ammo trucks, some boxes...)
-A little bit easy
-Tanks were easy
-Nav error at the 1st level beginning, smoker almost killed me before bots could help me.
-When storm came, some road tiles were very bright

I loved to play this campaing. I felt like in real apokalypse. This HL2 campaign really fits for L4D. I like such a campaigns, maps which are outside, cities. Nice idea to destroy barricade on the street, but dont know how it can call horde in real life :) .I cannot rate it with a maximum points, because it's just a remake of other games campaing, but you did well, it took time, i enjoyed it, and like I see - others too. City17 fits for L4D !

- Rain: very very good use! Great!
- Very nice map's construction. It's beautyfull.

- Final is too slow. Too soft.

I really love this campaign. Nice job. It seams to be from L4D2 developpers ^^ seams.

Everythings!

-Tank can't climb a ladder at finale

Perfect campaign,nice songs,nice effects.

This is the best campaign I ever downloaded.

-Fills me full of Half Life 2 Memories
-Over-all good looking campaign
-Great utilization of L4D2 features (particularly rain)
-Smart scene utilization
-Just plain fun

None

This is by far one of my favorite fan-made L4D campaigns. It's really a shame you can fit most of EP1 into a single campaign...

Great map, keep up the good work.

Everything

Nothing

Great map, very creative and fun to play. I love the new additions to this version for L4D2. 100!

Very atmospheric

Music from Half Life 2

Brings memories :)

Nice variety

Tons of zombies and witches

A little too empty for VS, spawns would probably be too hard

Don't know if the number of witches in VS is the same but it would be pretty hard if it is :D

Nicely done but still needs some finishing touches especially to work well in VS. I am aware that the author probably tried to do the map as close to the original as possible but after all this map is for L4D2 and needs to function like one.

This campaign and the moded levels are so nice with L4D2. Like it was ment for this and not HL2. ;)

Are there any?

Well, there are some short nothingness when moving forward but it's momentarily. Then you'll get next hord thrown at you in your back.
You may recognize your way around if you played HL2.

One of the best add-on's! Goodlooking, glitch free and stable fps.

+nice/creative panic events
+Over-all good looking campaign
+fire + smoke
+nice weather effects
+very exciting
+simply best l4d 2 Campaigns i've played so far.

-final is too easy (defending on the platform with ammo, healing kits, pipe bombs, static mg and enough place to evade splitter goo -> just too easy)

-less Witches pls

Wow!
Best Campaigns, i've played yet. Very nice work.
98/100

-Great catch phrase on your poster
-Excellent replication of the original City 17 - a very HL2-esque feeling
-Maps aren't too short yet not too long either
-A good gun selection
-Excellent use of the fire texture/design from Dead Center

-Finale is very linear: horde > tank > horde > tank > rescue; this isn't L4D1
-Poorly thought out panic events/too few panic events
-Poorly placed machine guns
-Lacking supplies on the finale
-Maps too linear
-Guns and upgrades are always located in the same spot every time

Overall a fun map. Just needs a little tweaking.

+ Fantastic adaption of l4d2 features into the maps
+ An already polished campaign has been made even better
+ Gauntlets!
+ Thunder storm!

- Some special infected got stuck trying to navigate
- A tad too bright in some spots

I loved this campaign as v2.5 in l4d and this one is even better. Great work!

-Everything is perfect, Items well balanced, good choice of spawns and very well made areas
-EPIC RESCUE!

-None

never given a campaign a 100, or any left 4 dead 2 map either. But i think this map deserves, it. You have obviousley put a lot of time and effort in to this, thank you.

Great remake of Gordon Freeman's path.
Some combines left behind, thats funny.
No headcrabs.
Great use of original campaigns effects like rain and fire smoke.
Great plane crash from Dead Air.
Nice urban enviorment, with different locations used.
Nice performance, with no lags or bad fps.
No bugs noticed, or any problem.
Inovative rescue.

Some HL2 EP1 allready unlocked parts make it feel missed oportunities for survivor events.
The elevator part could had used some power up objective.
Not too much exploration to do.

Certanly one of the best campaigns for L4D 2, not because its based on HL2 EP1, but because it has a great city enviorment that is what this game lacks a little and made the L4D 1 so good at. Also the especial effects are nice distributed through the maps and creat a good changing on game strategy, and do all this with a constant performance and no bugs. Also it will put a smile on any HL2 fan, just for see a fallen combine.

-Looks awesome
-Creative
-Good length
-Perfect amount of spawning and special infected
-Fun
-Feels like a real Left 4 Dead campaign

-A little work is needed for the finale

Great campaign. One of the best ones out there.

-Excellent rendition of a classic Half Life map.
-Clean-cut visuals that do not seem out of place.
-Lengthy campaign that does not get stale or repetitive.
-Very creative!

-There are some minor texture glitches.
-Issues with characters falling through the elevator floor in map 2 I believe.

This is an excellent map and should be enjoyed by all. I am biased in the sense that I have played, and loved, Half-Life 2, but overall this is a stand alone experience regardless of the Half-Life nostalgia associated with it. The maps transition in a very smooth manner and follow the individual plot-line of Half-Life, while making good use of the AI director. This is definitely a challenging map as well, because it seems as if the horde never ceases. Overall, this map is varied, exciting, and lengthy, which will please any gamer.

Fun
no Bugs
lots of SI
maps make sence
The map is hard but not due to lack of weapons or meds
hoard come from correct place
love the witches

i found nothing wrong re bugs

i forget the amount of times i've played this - brilliant fun - what maps should be all about having fun
best map i've played
Is the Author going to mak more please
I cannot recomend this enough - a must add on

-nice half life 2 map
-nice placing of weapons and ammo
-great timing of events
-nice surroundings and water textures

-none!

The best add-on campaign for left 4 dead 2!!!amazing,amazing!!!best ever!!Im also a fan of half-life,which makes me really love this map!!I give it a perfect score!

Long campaign, detailed maps and no bugs

Finale could use some more work, spotting the entrance to the train was kinda tricky

Lot of fun!

like the fact that it is a 5 map campaign
nvr played HL2, but now i wanna

like painful sed, finale is very easy

luv the maps, gunna luv HL2

decent lenght
nice placement in hl2 epi 1
nice dead combine model
very acurate to hl2 epi 1
love the train station ending

high ping
might note be able to find the right way if you don't know hl2 epi 1
odd music started playing for no reson

i would recomend it especialy to hl2 fans. but not people who can't have high ping.

-pretty cool decoration
-the bots weren't retarded
-is difficult in some parts
-OMG City 17 with zombies!

-the 3rd is so long
-some parts was
-some parts were very easy :S

is an excellent map but needs a few tweaks to do really challenging. GREAT JOB!! :D

-Great campaign
-Great to play alone and with others (i suggest advanced for the funniest shit to happen)
-Great AI director moments, witht the rain and all
-Tunnel area is VERY fun
-When you go into the city, it is really cool (However, when you first see the city, you should hear the creepy radio's echo throughout the city)
-Has some really great coop moments

-Sometimes, (this has happened to me about 5 times) the witch and tank spawn in the elavator shaft. It makes an increasily funny time, as they cannot escape (and when the elavator comes, they are in the floor) but it really ruins the realism of playing on city 17.
-Bots wont come back, once they move foward, they dont move backward.

Really great map, small glitches, but fun altogether. Highly suggest downloading.
(Im still waiting for the creepy radio)

- Excellent recreation of Episode 1
- Well made train ending
- Worked well with bot AI
- Riot Shield was an excellent addition to the melee weapons
- Good events
- Just the right amount of equipment , not too many - not too little.

- The hole in the vent , which kills you haha , was lucky I did'nt try to go down it ;)
- Riot shield on the floor can glitch out slightly , not that it matters it just looks like its stuck in the floor.
- Smoke effect in the apartments did'nt work to well with the darker ep1 textures.

Definatly worth a game , with bots or friends , congratulations to the creator a very nice addition to the custom campaigns for l4d2 , certainly the best I have played so far.

hard enough
well though maps
very good combination of the best moments of HL2 and L4D worlds
two tanks at the second wave
hl soundtrack

spawn of infectyed and tanks in the station is a little monotonous

awesome campaign, it's really looks like the official one and creates similar atmosphere of the first episode. one of the best maps

good job, keep going

+ The plane flying over was awesome
+ Running through the burning apartments (with traps) causes confusion at times which can be really fun :-)
+ The Elevator panic moment is really fun
+ Love the music on 3rd map
+ Nice ending

- A bit dark in the garage in the beginning, but nothing to complain about really
- The end of 2nd map is a bit boring (on normal)

Played the 3.2 version and it's awesome...

Great pacing
Great lighting
Music fits in perfectly

Nothing really, perhaps the finale is a bit plain.

One of the better full campaigns available for L4D2 right now. Havent tried it in VS yet, but it looks like it'll be great for that.

This is by far one of the most well made, quality campaigns out there!
KUDOS!

The attention to detail is astounding, there was excellent design in regards to efficiency. The game play just flows seamlessly from one area to another.

The zombies are placed in very nice areas, they provide the just the right amount of difficulty at the right time.

The periodic placement of witches really adds another level of game play and strategy to the map.

Very rare and tiny nav error for the AI.

Please play this it really is an epic and quality campaign experience for you and your friends

Faithful port of maps made for a 6 year old game.
Nostalgia.
Good finale.

Faithful port of 6 year old game.
Too many snaking, tight hallways in buildings.
Washed out lighting that clashes with the skybox in parts.

Like the Ravenholm maps, this is a great map for nostalgia freaks. For the casual L4D2 player, it is ok for coop and versus. Despite the cutting edge visuals of 2004, the maps don't translate well for L4D2 gameplay mechanics. These are maps made for a single player FPS, and contain too many tight indoor corridors for consistent versus play.

- Really detailed
- Level design
- Atmosphere
- Music

- The End - For our team it was hard to find the Ammo directly. We fought mainly with pistols. After the train arrives three of us died. But this is only a problem when you play it first time. But a bit more help/signs would be nice!

I thought so often "Damn, I know this place from HL2" =)
Really great......I have to play HL2 and EP1 & 2 again *g*

Also the music in this Campaign is really nice. I hope there will be more Campaigns coming with this quality!

Fun
Difficult
Nice mod

Not much

This is a great homage to Half Life 2, and the amount of fun you can have on this map shows how amazing the maps were.

-Terrific level design
-Love the plane crash scene
-The finale was original and never done by any official l4d campaign
-Good use of the rain effect
-Original music in hospital adds a lot to the level
-I Love the dark levels, brings back the fear to players that this game needs to present

-The Train in finale has no sound effects
-Bots are idiots in finale
-beginning of one of chapter 4 i believe, there's a huge open area with loads of cars and trucks... the FPS dropped big time at that part. Maybe reduce the amount of vehicles? Dark Carnival did it without sufferening framerate losses.

The campaign is a must have and feels as complete as an official Valve designed map. Thank you for posting and I look forward to seeing another campaign from ya.

- Some parts I remember from HL2: ep1

- Storms from hard rain

- Great train finale

- Sometimes rainy and sometimes sunshine

- love campaigns with 5 maps

Once i got lost but i found my way in like 2 mins so not rly much of a con.

I would have to say that this was one of my FAVORITE campaigns that i have ever played (out of playing like 15 different campaigns). So i would give this campaign 2 thumbs up. Also the con doesnt rly matter cause i also get lost in hl2 also so ITS JUST LIKE THE GAME, only less puzzle, more awesome. :)

Identical to the L4D version with a few additions.

I liked that the end platform was narrowed. It adds tension to the area.

The shield! I luv the shield!

Music.

The beginning is a bit glitchy with bots getting stuck.

Is it possible to add infected combine soldiers (armored SWAT infected)?

The ending is still a bit brief and needs to be a tad more engaging when escaping. Can you make the entrance to the train in the back instead of the front? Running from tanks is so much fun!

Needs more tier 2 weapons.

I miss the falling ashes from the original.

How about some haz-mat infected? Makes sense given the plethora of bile jars everywhere!

See my review of the L4D version.

Great to see this campaign ported over to L4D2.

- Excellent environment
- Great graphics and illumination
- Good L4D2 crescendo events
- Looks like an original campaign from Valve
- Excellent choice of music

- At the moment, no cons!

This is a great campaign for L4D1, but a PERFECT campaign for L4D2!
One of the top L4D2 addon campaigns.

- Feels like Half Life 2
- Very nice special effects (smoke/fire, weather, plane crash)

Few issues where infected would get stuck (like in level 1 at the start, I had a charger and hunter just standing there in between vehicles because they were stuck)

I played City 17 online from start to finish and apart from a few very small issues, I really enjoyed it and thought it was very well done.

The creator is really talented and I would love to see a part 2 of this with other areas from Half Life 2 (like the countryside village in Ep2?) Please consider my proposal, it would be awesome!

-Almost exact recreation of parts from half life 2
-Updated the parts from half life 2 with the improved smoker, rain, fire, and breakable floor elements included in l4d2.
-works really well with the l4d gametype
-bug found in my play through
-run through took 20+ minutes.

-Final horde while you wait for the train is kind of easy

I really enjoyed this. No reason why everyone shouldn't have this campaign.

Incredible detail
Lots of special effects like plane crash and weather.
Great custom sound track.
Valve quality (no really).
Couldn't find any glitches.

I saw several hoards materialize in plain view. The spawning of infested should take place out of sight. This should be fixed.

Dead players re spawned in one of the rooms with a double door when the doors were open.

Probably the best campaign out for L4D2. Not sure if this is a port or just a redone half-Life map. Doesn't matter. The attention to detail on this campaign it just great. Get this right away you knucklehead!!

-Custom music feels like fighting the horde from 28 Weeks Later.
- Fantastic environment and city atmosphere.
- There is a little bit of everything here. There are dark areas, brigthly light areas. You go indoors and outdoors. There are crescendo events and gaunlet events. There's smoke, fire, rain and water. This map has it all.
-A ton of fun!

- There was one time when a charger got me and the bots refused to save me even though they were standing right in front of the charger. But then this happens on all maps so I guess it's not your fault.

I never played HL2 so this review is coming from a L4D fan. This map fits the L4D game perfectly. Like I said this map has everything. It was a great pleasure to play. You said it best. Best ever made map! Thank you for your work.

Level design
Maintining the original's feel
Good blend of difficulty

Hmmm.... Can't really think of any. Perhaps a little too easy in parts.

This is a great map. I love HL2 so I am biased, but the feeling is there. The music, the levels, etc. It really had the right feel for a recreation. Thanks for making it!

Almost perfect recreation of HL2 ep1
Well designed
No major glitches
Very fun!
Chapter 4, the ****ing plane!!!!! =D

Finale was a little boring and the half life music kept getting muddled with the L4D2 (minor issues though)
Strange amount of witches spawn, but are all pretty easy to avoid usually (minor issue)
Weather effects seem muddled (its a storm, then its dark, then its light???) (yet again, very minor)

Possibly one of the best custom L4D2 campaigns, I would happily suggest that the author of this should make more, perhaps even make some using his own designs =)

-Very professional looking
-The trains put in are very well made
-Was a great challenge and a lot of unexpected stuff
-Was fun

-Tank got stuck on last level so it was easy to pick off a small spawn glitch or something
-Some places were just a little to dark for long durations and it got annoying

I will definitely play this again and get my friends in on to play it with me im looking forward to more from you

1. Fun campaign without any game-breaking bugs or mistakes.

2. Plenty of weapons and throwables to get the job done. In some player's opinions there might be too much of both, but it's better than the opposite problem where you don't have hardly anything.

3. Relatively good bot navigation.

4. I enjoy the Half-Life 2 aesthetic in combination with the weather effects on Map 3.

5. The scripted events are always a plus. More campaigns should use them.

1. It is a little easy at times. I played it on Advanced alone (this is typically how I test maps I might potentially play with friends) and I actually died a few times but only because of bot-related suckiness which is Valve's fault.

2. Bots got a little out of control on finale...ultimately leading to their own demise and then mine.

3. Don't have much more to say I thought it was pretty solid in general.

I really liked this campaign and plan on telling my friends to download it. I disagree with the notion that the L4D1 version was better than the L4D2 version (played on L4D2 of course). I recall being bored out of my mind with all the old gameplay mechanics: old guns only and old throwables only, etc. Of course I enjoy a challenge just like anyone else and perhaps some of the things you put in there could be removed. It's ultimately a delicate balance between having too little and having way too much and I agree with the other reviewers in that respect. However, all things considered, I think this is a worthy offering and I enjoyed playing it very much. Please don't take away the L4D2 aspects of the campaign: L4D1 is DONE and OVER WITH in my opinion. Thanks a lot, you did a great job.

Horde-tastic. More horde than any map I have seen. Multiple "uncommon" at the same time. I encountered a spitter, a jockey, and a smoker at one point. This made it very interesting. The jukebox song was fantastic. The storms were well done. The plane crash took me by surprise. Use of the level and rooms were well thought out. The banter is great.

Needs to have voice over the radio at the end. In the end while waiting for the train, it was fun, but it is easy to withstand if you get up on top with the mounted gun.

Definitely worth having among L4D2 add-ons. I would like to see more add-ons like this as this one sets the standard for the rest to live up to.

-very creative
-i don't know how to say but the maps very very good :D

-i have 1 error props
-why the hell did the sky has purple and orange box

is great :D

Any gamer would know of the hard work put into this map. Custom textures, music, and models. Not to mention the fact that it's City 17! Ace work!

Versus mode still has a LOT of complications that can hopefully be fixed. This won't effect my rating so long as you update and hopefully fix these issues.

Worth the download whether the versus works or not. Outstanding work, long live the Freeman!

- I'm a sucker for urban themed maps so that's an immediate plus.
- Great designs to all of the maps and some nice touches here and there (specifically the plane crashing)
- Finale is interesting and more importantly fun.

- Minor issue but in some maps it seems like you use actual props for the tall buildings off in the distance and in others they appear to be poorly painted onto the sky.
- The lighting during the rainy parts is a little too bright and unrealistic.
- Background music during some of the maps is a little out of place for L4D2.

Not really familiar with the game this campaign was based off of so I judged it accordingly. Overall a very fun campaign to play through and explore with varying environments so it does not grow stale.

Interesting take on EP1
Particle storm effects throughout
Five full maps

Some places have little or no detail
Finale needs work

It's good for a conversion but more can be done to improve upon.

Good texture
Good amount of guns/ammo
Long campaign

Overusage of special infected especially witches

This is a good map, i never played the actual city 17 so i wouldnt be able to compare but its fun.

Great map choice for a L4D2 campaign
Good use of and timing between hoards
Good use of weapon, health and ammo drops
Good work on the lighting of each leve. Much different than the HL2 version.
Works well with stupid bots and even better with people
Lots of vertical as well as horizontal movement in the levels........again, it's a Valve map so good choice.

Lose the finale music. If I wanted to listen to music I would play my own. Plus, it is SOOOOOOOOO Loud you can't hear anything going on around you. It definately detracts from the enjoyment of the end of the game.

The narrow corridors get a little tiresome but thats not your doing, it's a Valve map so probably best to leave it.

Everything works well. Sure there are some individual elements I would change but this is a great campaign with lots of variety, lots of hard work put into it and it shows. I give 90% for the Valve map but 95% on your hard work

very much like the HL2 maps namesake.
the parking garage is very hard ( i like a challenge)
added HL2 EP1 original music (very good)
The burning apartment building is the best, the smoke effects are way better than that of Dead Center Hotel.
(I could hardly find my way, cool!!)

not enough weapons or ammo
not enough tanks thoughout maps (until end)

good HL2 conversion map, but could be better

+Lots of zombies
+Lots of zombie spawns for hordes from every direction
+Nailed the whole HL2 thing XD
+LOVE the epic music

-Too many health kits
-Would be more fun if they were in saferoom only
-Agreed that the storm comes out of no where

Great map! I really enjoyed the HL2 feel. In the burning building i knew to walk around the boards that break. All my friends fell right though XD.

The music, especially in finale

Ι love the change of scenery

Plenty of throwables and melee weaps (u must try sometimes to find em)

It's a long campaign

In the finale i couldnt find weapons

I cant find another con XD

It's one of my best campaigns. I really loved it.

*Spoilers alert*
-Brings back memories
-Just like the ep1 maps
-Interesting crescendo events
-Combine soldiers
-HL2 music
-Nice change of atmosphere
-Great for Versus
-Graffiti
-Lots of witches in 1st and 2nd chapters
-Awesome plane crash

-The plane crash caught me off guard the first time, and since it was activated before you can get a suitable view of it, a player can easily miss the crash.
-The elevator crescendo isn't long enough. Just needs a little more length.
-Some environments are bland. An example is the burning building in chapter 3. there wasn't much to look at.
-Things that do not affect score: As stated before, put the citadel in the maps. It would be awesome. Also, music for the hospital part needs to be changed to "What Kind of Hospital Is This?"

A very great map. The things that you would wish to see but didn't expect to find are there, and it feels like playing the episode.

looks great
great atmosphere
lots of zombies

the finale must be better
5+ tanks in finale

Great campaign with awsome graphic & atmosphere...looks like original l4d2 campaign...

Great replica
Even better events
The dead air plane crash was an awesome addition
It all flows beautifully

I tried really hard to think of one, but there really isnt anything you can pin down on this campaign.

Another great addition to anyones addon folder. Great to play online with friends, and if you've played half life, you'll definitely remember some spots.
Even if you havent, this campaign just feels right.

Great pace

Awesome textures

Map layout is perfect

A few textures are a bit too shiny

I've never played the L4D version of this map, but this one is ****ing awesome.

As this campaign is just a copy from HL 2 ep 1, I'm estimating the quality of the copy.

- Very good idea to copy this part from HL 2 ep 1.
- Great visuals effetcs. (texturing...)
- Good crash plane. (even if it is a simple copy from Dead Air :/)

- Characters dialogs suck sometimes. x)
- At the finale, there is tank music in the same time than the music form HL 2 ep 1 you added. (A very little detail, sorry :D)
- Finale too easy for me. Even on Expert...
- In the 4th level, in the hospital, we hear a song from HL 2 ep 1, but it's an action song, and nothing special happen. It would be great if that song was audible when we lower the little bridge, during we fight the hord.
- The real bug I find, in some lvl, are the buildings highlighted. Very white, contrasting with the rest of the lvl a bit dark.

An excellent copy. Very good adaptation. No real cons, just some details we don't care during the game.

Loved the effects of fire & rain.
Quality of maps...well up to Valve Standard.
Just the right amount of swarms & hordes.
Good amount of ammo and weapons.

None that I noticed

Its all been said: This is an awesome campaign and well deserves the high ratings its getting. L4D1 was a good map, and I think this is a better version. dare I ask you to do another one, say based on a previous Valve release.
Keep up the good work. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Good Textures
Good ammo/guns placement

None :)

Overall its just a VERY good map that i never get tired of playing :)

Great long map, good use of textures, soundscapes and effects. Very good pacing and a lot of thought put into level design and structure.

Couldn't find any!

A real must have. Brilliant work!

Impressive maps!
Cool burning house
Nice airplane crash
Challenging campaign

Too much light
Tank fail
Easy final

Cons: It was too much light. (Start area for exampel). White textures and alot of lights in a tunnel?!! Really annoying for my eyes.

We saw a tank on, i think it was the 2nd map. Tank didn't see us so i throw a vomitjar and after he lost like 80% of his hp, a bot shot him and he saw us and epic faild ^^.

The final was really easy! We were on the roof whit the big gun. Speical infected hade problem getting up there, and normal infected was not hard to kill up there. Tanks wasn't hard eaither.


Pros: Your maps was impressive! The burning house whit floor you could fall throught, and the airplane crash was really cool!

And your campaign was a challange whit stupid bots ^^. Exept the final.

Nice job!

This was a very good map. Good looking and a bit hard. Ass tons of witches which could be a Pro or a Con. Depending on you.

Not really any. A couple of glitches but that's about it

This map brought back a lot of memories.(If you are a die hard HL2 fan you MUST GET THIS MAP) and at the very end there is a small building with ammo on top and 2 crates on each side of it (Not on top of small building there beside it) .If you get all the way in the corner of the last crate and the wall you can jump on it this will help a lot(You will see what I mean.

Have Fun

- really good setting.
- zombies, zombies, zombies...
- easy to navigate
- carefully detailed
- ammunition lying around is must-use to make your life easier.
- the first level is epic. I got more melee kills than anywhere in L4D2.

- LIGHTING. (fix it. It is almost always unnatural. Except, sometimes, for windows.)
- no history at all.(create one.just do it.please.and change levels accordingly.)
- copy-paste with no justification.
- more different weapons, please.
- more free space (it might be just my preference, but I want to hold a bigger final zombie rush; right now it is to easy to shoot even the big number that is there).
- music and sounds. A zombie rush should sound like a zombie rush (heavy metal with a lot of base would be proper, I guess). A Smoker fulfilling an Hunter-Killer role should sound accordingly.

Seriously good idea, seriously good intention to make it perfect, seriously thorough work needed to polish it.
And LIGHTING, LIGHTING, LIGHTING...
Too much light from small light sources, absolutely not enough from a bright sky.

Anyway, it is a very good campaign to play co-op!

-Maintains balanced gameplay even as a Half-Life chapter.
-Good crescendo events.
-Use of dialogue in certain parts.
-Enhancements added for various parts.
-Nice placement of supplies (although inspired by the original designers).
-Good use of music during the hospital scene (although it should have stuck with the track "What kind of Hospital is this?").
-Presence of Riot Infected.
-Storms in the third map.

-Only two Health Kits at the beginning of the last level (though compensated by the truck at the far end).
-Elevator crescendo feels a bit too short. Elevator sequence may be dangerous to laggy players.
-Survivor names for poster are out of place.
-Could use some dialogue for the radio (along with more dialogue in more parts).
-One time, one of the Survivors fell off the bridge without hanging onto the ledge (where Gordon meets Barney).
-No need for many Witches to be hanging around the first Safe Room.

By far, the most entertaining L4D2 Campaign I've played so far! Let's see you recreate the urban sections of Half-Life 2 and the White Forest Base in Half-Life 2 Episode 2 in this game!

- great atmossphere! thanks for the HL2-music in the hospital!
- challenging! lots of zombies and exciting final!
- good balance of weapons, med-kits..

- a friend is getting the "Server is enforcing consistency"-error, when we try to play on realism! thats a shame, realism mode ist a must-have!

had a lot of fun! challenging zombies, fair and interesting maps! thanks!!

*Brilliant use of Half Life 2 maps
*Seamless integration into L4D2 is perfect
*Many awesome L4d2 specific features added
*Great atmosphere
*Pitch perfect difficulty
*Long yet interesting and engaging throughout

*Tank battles can be tough because of so many close quarters environments
*It ends eventually

This campaign is fun and intense from the first time you exit the saferoom up until the amazing finale. It is nothing short of amazing how seamlessly the author wove these maps together to make an awesome L4D experience.The inclusion of so many setpiece locations from the brilliant Half-Life 2 series just adds to the enjoyment as you continually say, "I remember this!" Highly recommended download for everyone who plays L4D2.

Nostalgia
Well thought changes from the original HL2 maps
Nice L4D2 additions, like the rain effects and the smoke
Easy to navigate (not confusing, but maybe that's because we all played HL2:EP1 xD)
The songs

Few bugs:
- Second Tank died for no reason on the finale
- Bots had a little trouble with their navigation at the start, where they have to "climb" a car

Kinda boring finale, could've used the HL2:EP1 path to something actually usefull.

GREAT campaign, GREAT work, almost no bugs, and the bots AI was pretty ok in here. Nearly perfect campaign :)

Custom sounds
Ambience remembers so much Half-Life 2

None.

L4D1 version was amazing, L4D2 version is almost the same, with nice little adds. I played it with 7 friends in Expert and difficulty was nice. They loved this campaign. Thanks!

-Better than HL² Ep1
-Level design, crescendos events.
-Great feeling: good use of rain, fire, light, shadows, elevator part...

-Finale is the weakest link, not as epic or exciting as the other maps.
Jumping on a train going by the station for escape would be sick.

-Can't be played in versus because of texture bug

Simply the best L4D2 custom campaign ever made.
Every of L4D2 additions was cleverly used here: Rain, Crescendos, atmosphere, AI director...
Finale still needs a little more tweaks.

Download it. NOW.

Faithful conversion of HL2's maps with L4D's additions and feel

Flowed well

Tight and pacey :)

Finale a bit limp

I'm a big fan of HL2 and so on the whole found this campaign to be very enjoyable, it's a blast with friends :), the inclusion of HL2's music really adds to the feel, I tend not to provide spoilers, wishing more for players to D/L hard worked maps and enjoy them blind so to speak as I have done, the only comment I would make is that I/we felt your finale was a bit.... well.... not upto the high standard you have set in the campaign

good graphics,
well rounded
clear path through most of campaign
lengthy
lots of zombies

purple and orange sky in most of the outdoor levels
special infected get stuck in the first and second level and some on other levels
tanks get stuck in second and fourth level
sounds are screwy.
the lightning

during the rainstorm, you could hear the rain but not see it. all the lightning but with no rain is a throw off. the lightning is just insane anyway, its just great flashes of light.

the sounds were ok through most of it, but the smoker sounds blended with the hunters a lot. the ending didn't really have sounds. during the attacks in the fourth level there was no sound.

fix the sky. it was weird seeing great patches of orange and purple.

in the first and second level every other special infected were getting stuck. next to pillars, in chain link, in the open.
the tanks got stuck next to pillars too.

but all in all fun and lengthy.

-Well mapped, nice visuals
-Copies HL2 EP1 down to the bolts (even some combine bodies can be found)
-Well placed crescendo events

-A few special infected glitches (charging into fences, spawning in safe room; easy fix though)
-Too many mounted turrets, take away at least one
-Some areas are a little difficult to navigate (smokey building, underground)

Superb map, I love it! Arguable one of the best L4D2 maps made by the community. I'd like to see some future bug fixes, but other than that, great download, worth your time!

cool map cool levels cool end all cool

no

awesome map and cool levels 100 points with cool dungeons and all i like every place !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very exciting
Lots of effort put it (and it shows)
Not very many bugs (see cons)
Almost too long (but actually not) levels.
One of the first ones I've seen to have a jukebox
Very, very, VERY nice way of getting through (2nd level). The (spoiler here) "burn the petrol cans to break the wood barrier"
First addon pack i've seen which highlights where to put off the power (first level)

Lots of tight hallways.
2nd level has far too many witches (i counted 4)
1st level - crashed train after broken tanker - climb up to the top, can't move from in it.
Specials spawn far too often.
Doesn't actually say what to do on some of the special event bits.
Some parts have too few weps.
Bit too easy on easy

Excellent so far, but a purpose built "bug run" through first two levels has shown a few bugs. However, it is not a good idea to play on versus, due to tight corners, but it is still a marvellous map. Fix the bugs, and I will believe it worthy of 80.

Doesn't feel like a third party campaign.
Extremely fun.
Didn't encounter anything game-breaking.
Everyone should download this campaign and consider it part of the game.
I thought of this idea when I replayed Episode 1 a while back :D

The custom weapons added like knife and riot shield were a nice touch but extremely buggy.
That not everyone has this map already.
Weird tank stuff in finale sometimes.
Stupid redneck music plays with custom soundtrack and annoys the hell outta me, don't know if you can control that though.

Difficult in a fun way, not retarded or repetitive, very well placed EVERYTHING and just extreme fun better than the default campaigns. The only Con I had was about custom melee weapons, which weren't necessary to begin with, so it added on to your score, not as much as it would have if they worked though. I give a 98 because there's a couple of glitches here and there. I don't count the problems with versus because it isn't your fault.

- Great environment
- A fun finale to play through
- Engaging all the way through
- Plenty of different locations to keep it from going stale
- Reminds me of Half-Life 2, which is a good thing :D
- Great item spawn points, makes you have to look around a bit more sometimes
- Nice use of the weather effects
- Exciting parts like the plane crash over the house

- There were a few bugs during the campaign
- Too many pipe bombs/molotovs spawn, which can make it fairly easy at some points
- I once got about three witches spawn in one, small area
- Tank can spawn in ridiculous places sometimes
- Some parts of the campaign could use some polish

Overall, this is one hell of a campaign. It keeps you engaged during the whole thing, and gives a real impression of a city under the siege of the infected. The atmpshere adds a new layer to the gameplay, and really makes it shine. While there were a few bugs, and some tihngs that could be changed to better the campaign (Check my 'Cons' list), it was a great play, very fun and I recommend this to anyone to play!

-A very polished campaign, one of the best I've seen in a while.

-While I have not personally beaten Half-Life, (which is on my list of things to do) I do see the amazing attention to details within the campaign

-The soundtrack that we heard on there was superb, if it's from halflife I do need to get it

-Was overall a very clean polished campaign, it carried over well for the L4D 2 installment

-We restarted twice on the first Crescendo, once when we didn't know where to go, and another because a tank spawned during the crescendo. Now I know if I played Half-Life, I probably would have known where to go, but none of the group had.

-The fire lvl gave me some issues with Glare from the lighting, it was also hard to see through all the smoke. We did get through it fairly easily, it was just a small nuisance that I had with that particular part.

-We had to restart the finale because we didn't know where to go to escape, isn't too big of a deal either really.

-The Tank premature died in the finale while we were up top. I'm not exactly sure why, but I usually record our playthrough and if you're curious I can possibly get that to you.

-The tank knocked me into that little groove off the the side of the train, Running all the way to the end while fighting zombies can prove to be Brutal, but it wasn't too difficult, we just used a bile and ran for it.

Quick note: My review is based on what the group as a whole thought about the campaign. I just took the appoximate average.

This campaign is a wonderful addition to a growing collection of addons. It perfectly replicates much of the Half-Life saga and it even gave me a scare or two. I'm looking at you, bodies that drop from the ceiling!

The music that was added in was superb and was just fun to fight the finale to, it broke up the monotony of the regular Horde music.

The maps were immersive and fun to play. The whole campaign took us 3 hours, But I'd say it more took us about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. We had a guy on board who didn't have anything downloaded, and never knew how to make custom maps work.

If you enjoyed half life, you're going to love this map. Thank you for the work that you invested in it, it really shows.

The campaign was good and the textures were very detailed. The amount of witches was challenging, though fun! I love this campaign.

Absolutely none.

This is one of my most favorite campaigns. The map difficulty was okay, and challenging. I remembered playing this on L4D1 and I really enjoyed it. The map looks realistic and good. Keep making campaigns like this! Thank you for such a wonderful map!

-Nice places
-L4D atmosphere
-Much great ideas
-etc.

-None

Map is perfect. This is best custom campaign ever!

* Its hard
*Awesome map desings
* Lots of zombies
* Final its hard (2 takns at the same time
* Prety awesome spots for Defence

* Hard to think any
* Maybe its kind of hard for some ppl

I really cant say anything bad for this map,my friends and me really enjoy the hole campaing.I must say really awesome job its a must have campaing.Thx a lot!

Great for HL maps
good graphics
Long campaign
Fun finale

Sky boxs in seen in maps two and four
Unless you played HL 2 you can get lost
Same spot tank spawn in finale causing it to get spawed in the enviroment killing them or freezing them.

I have to say this is an awesome map it's almost as if i'm really replaying HL the game. But the only negitive thing i got unless you played Hl 2 you can get easily lost navigating the map. Other then that awesome map

Looks like Half-life!
Great cenario
perfect difficult

...

Download it! One of the best map of l4d2 ever!

Faithful recreation of city 17.

The sky texture is missing in a couple places.

Really good campaign. Needs some minor polish.

-great attention to detail/textures
-smooth game-play
-campaign flows forward well
-perfect length
-easy to navigate

none

This is a great campaign. Besides the great attention to detail, I enjoy playing this a lot due to the ease of progress, without having to mill around too much to figure where you have to go. The length of the map is good, not too long...but not extremely short. Good placement of weapons/ammo/etc. Finale is challenging yet not impossible. Great work! =)

Great map
Feels like a valve map
Easy navigation

None.

I enjoyed everything.

The best custom campaign I've played.

- Very Decent maps.
- Challenging maps - even on Easy mode... challenging but not so difficult that it is impossible.
-*- Did not cause my L4D2 game to block all access to The Passing campaign like other maps sometimes do.

- Long campaign with 5 maps.
- Finale' definately needs some work.
- Navigation is sometimes difficult.
- Weapon placement is fair, could be improbed.
- Once again, I could not see the sky texture unless it was storming.

Overall, this is a very good map with very good detail and textures. I was able to easily play the campaign on my L4D2 game and it worked great the first time I played this campaign (sometimes I have to reboot my computer to get the addon maps to show everything correctly even with the Addon Support installed.) The length is quite long with 5 maps, each map is fairly long as well, Finale' is also fair, but locating the entrance to the train car is difficult unless you know what to look for, navigation through the maps is sometimes difficult and I feel some additional clues would be helpful, weapon/supply placement is fair but could be improved and finally, unless it was storming I saw only the blue and pink checkerboard for the sky texture, with some work, this campaign would be very good. I did enjoy my game playing this campaign, so I give this campaign a very decent rating of 90.

- As a port, really adapt many things for a new experience
- Great finale
- Adding the raining and the fire makes it more challenging.
- A little bit more harsh than the common L4D2 campaigns.

- Being a port from another map takes the originality away.
- Lack of more weapons dispersed in different sections and more ammo that rest a little of difficulty.
- More ambiance sound that fills more the gaming experience.

Even that is a port, i'm notice that isn't a good work, and a hard one tough; but away from that will be good to see more original campaigns; after all, invite to the user to explore more curious situations perfect for a zombie apocalypse makes this game one of the best of the zombies apocalypses.

Thanks a lot, I enjoy a really good game with this campaign, and I could say that finale is one of the best I ever seen.

Keep at the good work.

-AMAZING visuals
-ran perfectly
-long levels
-feels like episode 1
-finale was fun

-speech is a little wierd sounding and big delay between each person talking
-finale music mixes with l4d2 music and sounds like the computer is dieing
-should have used custom hl2 models like the combine soldier replacing the swat guy
-very few swat (i only found 2)
-rain doesnt show up unless the shader detail is set to very high
-quite a bit of witches in the first level (i found 3)

very good campaign but could use a bit of a hl2 touch with some custom models added and sound fixed but overall a very good campaign i would recommend this to anyone

good graphics
good length
love the fact that you took hl2 epi 1 into l4d2
great finale

the weapons are in the same spot
no use of the director 2.0's new ability to change your route
rain doesn't show

overall its a great campaign you needed to change up the weapons a bit and maybe find a place to use the changing route

-Good level design.
-Crazy plane one chapter 4.
-Survivors talk at the start unlike in most campaigns.
-Tough crescendos.
-Long.
-Valve mentioned this. (Gratz BTW)

- Really really smokey in one of the buildings.
- Very confusing. (Add some more arrows.)
- Finale is really easy.
- Weird floor texture in the train.
- Odd use of the storm. (It's good it's just kinda odd how the sky goes from sunny day to OMG it's the storm!)
- Custom music not needed and is really loud can't hear the specials coming.

This was a very fun campaign it was longer than most campaigns out there but not to long to get annoying. Very well done and congrats on having valve mention this.
