Dark Wood (Extended) (Left 4 Dead 2)

- Added Versus mode
- Reduced maps file sizes
- Some areas redesigned for the sake of better looks and/or more challenging experience
- Improved lighting
- Removed some of the cheesy spots
- Adjusted item spawn rates and positions
- Added more wandering commons throughout the whole campaign
- Added a new type of uncommon zombie that replaces Jimmy Gibbs model
- New uncommon have a slight chance to spawn throughout the whole campaign

IMPORTANT NOTE: Campaign now uses a modified Population file for spawning new uncommon infected. For this to work, the vpk file has to be placed first in alphabetical order in your addons folder on your server. Otherwise other campaigns that use custom populations and load before Dark Wood will take priority over it. At least that's what I found during testing. There should be no conflict or anything, but my custom population file will simply have no effect. So it's up to server's owner if they want new zombies to spawn in the campaign and edit the filenames. Campaign is fully playable in any case.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dark Wood is a L4D2 campaign composed of 5 full-length maps. It was designed with the inspiration of horror movies and games such as F.E.A.R, Resident Evil, Silent Hill and more.
It's recommended to enable the Game Instructor in your first playthrough. Also, bear in mind this campaign is not an easy walk. The chapters are very long and sometimes pretty dark.

The survivors find themselves trapped on a small stretch of road at the middle of the night. Fleeing from the infected, they have no choice but to plunge into the darkness of the adjacent forest. They will have a long and dangerous journey through the dark woods, creepy caves, abandoned industrial zones, secret laboratory (which must be destroyed), "Silent Hill" style deep underground prison, ancient catacombs, and finally face their last battle in the church on a flooded cemetery.

Features:
- Five large levels in highly varied environments
- Custom textures, models and sounds
- Unique events
- Easter eggs
- Secret weapons
- Co-Op and Survival modes
- L4D1 survivor set

it's better to play with friends rather than AI?

I like this map very much!

Really outstanding campaign which combines with many games.^^

By EricChang last month

This is also one of my favorite campaign, which has many games' elements, such as Half-Life 2, Resident Evil and Silent Hill.^^ Each chapter of campaign has very high-quality design, such as the poison and electric machine in chapter 2, the whole laboratory in chapter 3, the blood prison in chapter 4, the grave and the church in finale.^^ Whole campaign is challenging and fun. Really recommended to play with friends.^^ By the way, each chapter of the campaign has some easter egg and custom weapons can be find.^^ I think it's a very creative idea.^^ Players who play with friends can try to find these easter eggs and get the custom weapons. It will be more interesting.^^

review and question

By nobos May 2021

good for longer campaign, but i have one issue that is invisible ceiling on 2nd map (i can see skybox that present pink missing texture)

One of the best maps.

By youtae March 2021

One of the best maps. Long and challenging. The quality of the surrounding environment is very good and detailed. and it is fantastic that the difficulty is well adjusted to be challenging. But there is one problem,, the Chapter2 is very long and difficult, but sometimes first-aid kits don't come out.

Too big, too long, too tedious, some good ideas though

By readinisbad4health February 2021

Pros: -at least it don't crash -bots don't get lost....much -some good ideas . Cons: -1GB for something that don't look that visually impressive -too long, tedious -gets real boring real fast -not enough flavor (guns) . This campaign is easily 2x the length and 4x the disk space, sadly way too long, too little weapons (sometimes we like to dump the Benelli m4 for the spas 12) and ammo and booooooring for what good ideas there are. A shame really, cause there are some good ones, like the Silent Hill inspired map4, which is also when the mod is the buggiest with AI and stingiest with ammo. Playing this in expert feels like a grindfest and a chore in normal. . 50/100
