Hi warplane11. Thanks so much for this campaign, again!

Half Life 2 port
Finally we get crowbars
Nice crescendos and panic events
Decent length campaign
Train arrival escape was a nice change of pace

Map 2 also has the same random crashing problems as the Left 4 Dead 1 version of this campaign.

Very happy to see you bring this over to Left 4 Dead 2, but unfortunately the Left 4 Dead 2 version is also crashing to desktop on me just like the Left 4 Dead 1 version. I made myself play through the full campaign for this one, and it seems only map 2 has the random crashing problems. I liked how you made the escape different in this one (train).

I'm very pleased with both version of this, for both Left 4 Dead games, and I hope you have luck fixing the random crashing problems because I remember you had them solved once before. Good luck.

Faithful rendering
Good lighting
Nostalgia

Doesn't suit L4D2 gameplay mechanics well.

This is a map for nostalgia freaks. Sadly, it was designed for a different game with different mechanics from a different time (has it really been six years?).
It is a solid port, but doesn't hold up for this game and this style of play. There are too many tall laders, too many flimsy ledges, too many 90 degree angles in the architecture...despite its strengths in visuals and fond memories, it does not make for a rock solid coop or versus experience.

A great port of the Half Life 2 maps with no bugs

Weapons distribution are fairly balanced

Nice balance of explosive containers strewn about in the maps

Good running crescendo event for the 4th map

Right balance of difficulty

Could use more uncommon common infected

Lack of heavy machine gun in finale

Could use a few more spawn points for bile bombs

I loved this campaign in L4D1 and L4D2 pushes it even further. I like how you used music from The Passing for this and the weapons spawns have variety so I never got bored. I saw you use the hazmat zombies, but I only saw them for one map. They should appear a bit more often and I also think you should throw in the fallen survivor zombie since it would fit this campaign's theme. The finale should have a heavy machine gun somewhere in order to make it a bit more interesting. I also liked how you changed the escape from a chopper to a train when porting this over to L4D2. Great work!

-Awesome
-Brings back memories

-The map has leaks, skybox messes up.
-If you get pinned by a charger on train tracks you are stuck, no exceptions
-anything above normal is rape without lube

I like it.

* The level designer try to include all HL2 puzzle elements
* What the designer couldn't include, he worked around it
* Safe rooms in good place
* Included crescendo events
* Included a vary of crescendo events

~ In the 1st level there was a CEDA agent, in 2nd and 3rd there was a fallen survivor, which confused me
~ 1 throwable in finale (although not your fault I think)
~ Small rescue space

This map is for anyone who likes the Half-Life series, and likes the chapter 'We Don't Go To Ravenholm', which I personally don't like, but I like this campaign.
What the designer couldn't include, he worked around it, which I think he did a good job. Although there a lack of throwables through the campaign and especially in the finale.

anything HL2 is awesome, well created. Loved the guys that left behind health kits and molotovs

none, I don't have any probs

loved it, played it twice in a row

HL2 nestalgia
Good flow to the levels
Train scenes were great

Seemed a little too easy, including finale

Was thinking how cool it would be to have a bunch of hunters at the bottom of the first elavator ride, with some gas cans on the ground to help thin them out. Would be a little more reminiscent of the original (like the spiders). Also, this was the scariest part of HL2 imo, so I would like to see the difficulty creanked up a touch. Not so much to make it frustrating, but enough to provide a few more tense moments. The finale might benefit from having the tanks spawn at different spots. A little too easy/predictable when you can just burn the train area and hit them all.

Overall though, a lot of fun!

-Uncommon Infected (Fallen Survivors and Hazmat Infected).
-The Passing's music does fit in here (see if Dark Carnival fits better).
-No supply issues. Health and Ammo is scattered evenly throughout.
-Bots aren't too shabby.
-Notices warn players along the way.

-The plank in the second or so level is a little narrow, I fell to an incapacitation, wasting a valuable Health Kit.
-Could use a few breaks in the track crescendo.
-Lack of Survivor dialogue.
-Names for Survivors in poster are out of place.
-Kind of got confused which way to go after the finale. We were on the opposite end of the map!
-I know one part of Ravenholm that you're missing; the one where Gordon gets to the busted helicopter blade and where he must cross the rooftops.
-Skybox tends to spazz out at times.

Another nice port from Half-Life 2! Know what would really make things awesome? A cameo by Grigori or Bill!

~Great port from Hl2.
~You kept most of Ravenholm in this map witch is good.
~Bots Nav was good, they stayed with the group pretty well.
~Weapons where nicely placed.
~No missing Textures
~Good Clean fun!

~The running to the train kart in map 3. Its not bad, but the amount of Zombies makes Expert unplayable. We barley made it on Advanced.
~I liked the port you made for the first game better

Overall a awesome port from one awesome game to the next. Ravenholm was my fav part from Hl2 witch is always a plus. I am sorry to say I liked your port for the first game a bit better but this one still rocks.

Hope to see more from you!

- Nice nav editing.
- Good old HL2 maps.

- In final zombies spawn right in front of you.
- Survivors keeps saying "bridge is down" when you have to be in a train.
- Final was the problem, could have been better.

Worthy of my time, ty ;)

-Highly Detailed
-Day & Night
-Nothing seems out of place, pointless or ugly
-Its truely faultless
-Perfect length (if after a death in the team we we're happy to restart.)
-Though not essential the maps benefited from you choice of weapon (eg Sniper was useful in 1 map but not appropriate in anothe).
-The mounted gun was actually USEFUL! (well placed)

-There was SO much (quality space) i'd have liked to have had alternative routes, (interchangeable) just becuase it was possible, especially in town.

Download it, is realy all thats needed to say. Better than some original L4d2 maps. We found ourselves pointing out various parts (hordes attacking or not) Although there is day & night, town & country nothing was out of place.
Not exactly a 'con' but turning the fire/gas off didn't seem to be of benefit, i may be wrong. I'd say 100 but that wouldn't leave room for improvment, i'll be suprised if I gave any map this score and my favourite L4D2 original wouldn't get more than 96 :D (many a lot less based on enjoyability). Thank You!

Well done conversion from HL2 maps
Nice weapons spawn points

Bug allow players bypass cemetery event

Together City 17 campaign it is a very nice homage for HL2. In cemetery you can jump on a gravestone with a cross placed against wall just after two wood entrance ramps to escape cemetery event if you want.

+Nice intro
+Climbing around in the city on ladders, wooden planks and airducts gives L4D a completely new feeling :D
+In the first levels there are plenty of gas cans etc all around the map ^^
+Zombies spawning on and falling from rooftops is always a good thing to have in a campaign
+There were a couple of well placed bonus' (like laser sights) in rooms which weren't on the direct route to goal... that's the way bonus' are meant to be placed
+The gauntlet is actually one of the few gauntlets in custum campaign that you can call fitting, fair and well-made
+The last saferoom is lol... exit door can be opened and you can leave it via the roof ^^
+Suddenly having sunlight after the tunnel/graveyard/dark city part is a great atmosheare change
+The finale layout is quite nice, with defense spots and supplies neither too clusted, nor to far spread

-There were 2 witchys in level 2... actually 1 is far enough per level... (and i wasn't even playing on expert)
-In finale there wasn't a single gas can... i like gas cans :(

GREAT campaign.
The maps are well designed and surely suitable for L4D.
They are NOT (as you see it often in sucky custums) full of useless crescendos, but has some well placed ones.
Supplies and ammo are decent spread, same with explosives.

So, i just have the minor 2 cons from above, being so minor they only subtract 1 point each, resulting in a fulll 98'er rating :D

Awesome.
Looks like Half Life 2.
Fun in versus mode...VERY.
The finale was pretty awesome.
Perfect lighting and darkness.
Lots of cars which is easier for the tank to kill.
The mines.

The textures,graphics,and etc. don't fit with Left 4 Dead 2 very good,still a great map.
Not a lot of gas cans.

This map is pretty cool,ehhh it has a bit flaws it's still great either way.

-Fun
-Feels like an official campaign
-Interesting
-Looks like Half Life 2

-Textures and graphics not so good
-Glitches (mainly at the finale)
-Bots sometimes let you die
-Chargers every 2 feet
-Bad witch placement
-Force fields

I have never gotten into Half Life, but this looks just like it. It's a fun campaign with new things to see. The problems I have with it are minor. Glitches at the finale, mainly, with the bots. Graphics and textures weren't the best. But this felt like a real campaign. I was not a fan of the force fields for Left 4 Dead, because it just took away from the realness. Overall, I enjoyed this campaign.

-Brings back good memories(played this map on HL many years back)
-Excellent porting, and very close resemblance to the original
-Encountered no bugs
-Non-stop crescendo event in 3rd map with the train
-Hordes could be handled(unlike some maps I played on 'Advanced', where the horde count was simply too large and frequent)
-Reasonable file size
-Fallen survivor!

-I got a little lost on the 2nd map but I remembered that staying on the roofs was the key so I did just that and I continued to 3rd map successfully. But even so, those rooms that I went exploring contained many useful items like molotov, pipe so the hunt was not that frustrating.

I suggest adding some saferoom signs to show the correct direction as some people may not want items. Then again, I prefer hunting for items as it provides a more fulfilling experience. If you wish, you can scatter some dead Combines/Headcrabs across the map. Otherwise, this map is excellent. Highly recommended.

- A complementary great ambiance that makes it a good port.
- Great intro, I love the ways it fades to dark to change scene.
- Pretty good weapons displacement.
- A great difficulty, actually one of the best I ever played.

- A port, can't qualify for originality.
- A little to many gas and gasoline cans in some parts and a lack of them in another.
- Lack of a grenade launcher and a chainsaw in someplace.

Being a port from another map can says that is an excellent work, but adapting for a different experience makes it interesting for play.

Good work.

- good adapted L4D 2 gameplay
- solid adapted map layout
- exciting running gauntlet
- good graphics
- no major bugs afaik

- good adaption but not very "original"
- why brightness in finale map???
- finale too easy and easy to see tanks, SI, CI with daylight

The campaign offers real good gameplay, the highlight is a running gauntlet on train tracks.

On the other side, it's not very "original", I know all these maps from HL2. And the maps are really very similar to the original.

decent story line very good with Night and day

tomany ammo drops its seems to easy to gather ammo

its a very well made campaige very fun

* Makes you remember those awesome Hl lvls
* Really good job,its not glitchy
* Love the mine lvl
* Final its good,good location

* Cant shoot too god when you are on water (mine lvl)
* On graveyard,hate where the zombies spawn
* Final could be better

I like this map,its really fun have some good ideas but i know it can be better!.
thx!

Nicely done map.
So well done i kept expecting head crabs, poison head crabs and head crab zombies to start attacking me as well.
Original ending.

I would have liked to have the use of the spinning zombie choppers, but maybe it wasn't possible.

Great map, top 5 in my book!

1. Well designed and interesting to look at even though this map is an adaptation to some extent of the half life2 design, it still has a little of it's own slightly unique flavor.

2. Plenty of chainsaws appeared here and there which was nice.

3. A slight bit of a challenge trying to figure out where your are supposed to go.

4. The slightly grimmer music was nice.

5. The part where you have to wade through water looked superb.

1. Game play was rather short and most of the action doesn't get going until after more than half the campaign.

2. Most of the campaign is spent climbing ladders, jumping through windows, walking over trains and walking across beams to get from one place to another, which was fine I geuss but I'm not big on climbing all the time to get from point A to point B.

3. Not much in the way of melee weapons but on the other hand the campaign is fairly short so they are not really needed.

4. Seems more attention was spent on the beauty of the campaign rather than the fun of it. I would rather see plenty of excitement and action rather than emphasis placed on pizazz over it.

Over all a very nice looking campaign, but something about it seemed lacking and a little on the dull side. I couldn't really get into this campaign all that much though visually it's spendid. And I felt it needed a little more action than it did. But no bugs or other issues, just moderatly lacking in action here and there, and the over all feel of the campaign didn't grab me all that much.
