Very satisfying expansion of the original
I haven't touched Left 4 Dead 2 community maps in a long while due to my interest in the game fading, but I came across this and thought it looked pretty cool. Glad I took the time to play it because it didn't disappoint. The new areas are very well placed and designed, nothing felt poorly constructed or out of place with the existing areas of the campaign. The finale was a lot more fun due to the expanded area to fight in, and I really enjoyed how Map 3 sent you to a brand new area before reconnecting to the main campaign, rather than how the original very straightly played the "return trip" card for the most part. Only major issue I had was that the bots did not pick up kits in the final safe room - luckily it was a non-issue as a Tank ambushed us right outside so I ended up heading back in and healing them all myself since we took considerable damage - but still an issue. I also felt map 3 might've been a little overly generous with supplies - as a single player I regularly found myself throwing pipe bombs at 1 or 2 zombies just to use them up before moving on, I imagine a full team would never be lacking in grenades at any point. Would definitely recommend this campaign to anyone, the new additions aren't as extensive as some remake campaigns (such as Clam Toll) however that may be a good thing for some - the alternative routes only add about an extra 5-10 minutes onto each map, rather than making every map overly long and challenging. The quality and consistency with the official maps is also very well observed - no awkward unnecessary crescendos or cheap forced tank/special infected spawns and such. All in all great stuff and took me back to the glory day of when I'd play good community maps regularly at the height of L4D2's popularity.
