ABOUT:

Fatal Freight is a 5-chapter campaign created with a strong focus on delivering balanced gameplay on all difficulties and gametypes. Each level has undergone extreme testing and tweaking to put them on par with the official campaigns from Valve. Fatal Freight offers new and veteran players alike a dramatic and highly entertaining experience from start to finish while modelling the original and iconic coop gameplay that has made the Left 4 Dead series so successful.


After crashing their vehicle, the survivors find themselves holed up in a small tunnel at the edge of the forest. With supplies running low and the frigid winter looming on the horizon, there is little hope for survival. Suddenly, a strange voice comes through the radio. A man, claiming to have a means of escape is holed up at a freight train depot a few miles away. Seeing it as their best option, the survivors grab their remaining supplies and head out into the woods..

I remember you weren't happy with one of my friends trying to fix this. But it looks like another one attempted and uploaded another fix.

This is one of the best campaigns, but it has a critical error! 100% crash of L4D2 dedicated server when loading map "l4d2_ff05_station", after "l4d2_ff04_plant" ...

Good and Decent Campaign

By FreeCell November 2016

PROS : Custom voice Direction is very clear Decent map design and environment Cool layout and texture Perfect and proper map length Challenging Finale CONS : Easy

Solid, well designed campaign.. a must play!

By Mz Cookies October 2016

PROS - Custom voice - Use of appropriate survivor dialogue - Custom graffiti - Directional arrows, very clear where to go - Map 4 saferoom idea is very nice! Collect supplies then run a bit further to the safe room - Map length is perfect - Well balanced difficulty, played on expert with one other player and it was achievable - Finale was challenging with a scavenge + hold off event but was doable on expert Overall this campaign was great, well designed, no bot nav issues with a RARE balanced difficulty and no overload on tanks like most maps. Very fun to play on expert and nice custom voice acting. Highly recommended!

Gets everything right

By CreativeBlock September 2016

Pros: Insane eye for detail Very professional feel to it Works in the vein of Left4Dead All gamemodes playable and functioning well No Michael Bay effect Good Custom Voice Acting Custom Music Custom Grafitti Cons: Map 4 Gaunlet a tad bit too challenging on harder difficulties, especially the part right before the train pause Elevator after the highway sometimes acted weird. Overall this is one of the best custom campaigns I have ever played for Left4Dead 2. This nails the design aesthetic of the original game, has great nods to the original campaigns and making them it's b****. The custom music does not feel out of place and the voice actor who played the guy in the train really did an amazing job. Amazing placement of health and ammo items also made this a good challenge on Realism Expert, even doable on some harder Mutations (Hard Eight, Last Man On Earth etc.) Some people saying it's "boring" can gladly go back to their Michael Bay Minecraft Painkiller Five Nights At Freddys gimmick maps that are no fun and just mask that they are bad with gimmicky crap.

4.5 stars, Very up to standard, Classic official-like Custom map

By ShineKiaa August 2016

Completed in expert realism, duo expert realism and occasional hard eight expert. Played this map countless time, don't know why I haven't reviewed this yet. PROs - Very neatly designed and scripted, hardly any bug or spawning in line of sight problem - The theme is very consistent, chapters are well connected from one another - Custom music and dialogue that made me feel blended in, the moment you hear the music, you know it's Fatal Freight - Professionally made with special loading screen, - Balance and progressive difficulty, reasonable supplies - Awesome hybrid finale - Scripted SI that really well positioned to make the map challenging CONs - Finale sometimes would bug out, I guess it happens when I press the radio the 2nd time too early - There are events throughout the maps, well scripted, not too easy not too unreasonable, but other than the finale they're not events that are so impactful and unique that I'd remember them even after a long while. For example the last gauntlet at the 4th chapter, sometimes can be quite intense, but wonder if it's the map but majority of the time, the horde and mobs that are coming in the way are quite few, it's not a necessity to use bile sometimes. And somehow the landscape was a bit doesn't make a sense to me or maybe it's just me, like how we run down the big square ladder thing in that gauntlet, perhaps making the landscape and the view more special and memorable? - Lack of beautiful views I guess if I were to be picky Overall it's a great map. Highly recommended to people that are new to custom map, 'cause this map is very classic, official-like kind of custom map. The quality is so good that for a moment I thought it's another official map. Definitely looking forward to another map from Zorbos.
