Field of the Dead Extended (Left 4 Dead 2)

The survivors were making their way to a mountain top in West Virginia where the military had an evac zone.  On their way there there was an explosion at the top of the mountain causing a landslide blocking their path back. Pushing forward they encounter many small towns that are completely over ran by undead. Can the day hold a rescue for Bill and his crew? In this campaign, because they are out in the country, our survivors run into Whitaker (the survivalist) who tries to make their life hell at every turn. He will snipe at you on map 2. Killing him could mean a sacrifice but his death brings quiet a spectacular effect :) His traps will be felt far past his death unfortunately. Map 8 is set to pick you up at exactly 8 minutes. This means perhaps having to survive a couple extra tanks. There are plenty of supplies and mounted gun(s) to pull this off rather nicely though. Map 8 is super kewl though. It says its an old MIC map?  I added a few of my own tweeks and find it rather entertaining to be honest. This campaign is created from four/five older campaigns: Wheel of Misfortune - Jozin - 2010, Country Roads - President Obama - 2010, Field of the Dead - Preamp/skodhippie - 2010, MIC Finale - Unknown.  Any problems feel free to contact me and let me know. Just keeping the game alive.

Fun,but needs some polish

By LilG September 2018

Good: Detailed environments with no errors. Various events to keep players on their toes. Balanced supplies so you don't feel like you need to conserve ammo/kits. Custom music for the Tank & Witch. The finale was entertaining,but it felt pretty easy to just camp on the tower shooting the cans to keep a river of fire below to roast the infected. Bad: Again like in other mashup maps,there's a random trigger that causes a horde to spawn almost constantly for no reason at all.It's off putting after a while when you're trying to navigate the map when the message that X triggered a horde keeps popping up. Bot navigation seems off,especially in the river & the finale.They would get stuck or just stand on the edge of railings doing nothing but shoot. Tanks numbers seem to be a lot even on normal,though they seem to get stuck easily or path poorly due to their AI. The area with the exploding barrels is a death trap,the bots ended up shooting them resulting in everyone's health dropping to red. I enjoy these mashups but I feel there needs to be some polish to make them less frustrating. Keep up the good work.

This is my community webpage. On it you will find some useful links including one to my huge 1700+ L4D campaign collection on M e d i a f i r e (timelordsl4demporium (do t) c o m). Enjoy. Timelords-a-roni and Cheeseskers.

Please, bare in mind that my comment is only my opinion and may not compute in the L4D world since I play single player. I assure you I am being polite when I ask, How the hell does this rate three and a half stars? Poor map work, rough transition between maps and a Tank obsession does not make for a great campaign. imho First go round Bots do not pick up weapons horde appears everybody dies. Second go round Bots do pick up automatic weapons and stand still while tank beats you to death in tree-house. Third go round invisible shooter with very powerful weapon kills first two out of the safe room. Not recommend for the single player.

v4.1 observations: - Map 1 needs some nav in the river. If I'm retreating back across the bridge to either pick up supplies, I notice my bots like to go into the water and then get stuck on the side and need to teleport-spawn back to the surface. Zombies don't get to teleport though, so on my 2nd try at the car knocking event I just backed up once I heard the sounds beginning until my party was behind the waterfall. Some seconds later and the Tank music stops, so it likely suicided in the river. :P - Map 2: I noticed that when your static Tank happens after you cross the parking lot and get close to the buildings that if I retreat, the way I came is suddenly blocked off with a fence. If your intention is to force players to face the Tank in the parking lot, it's not working cuz I can still go through the windows of the store on the side and the bots have nav through there too. XD - Map 7: The meat locker area on the side (just before the truck trailer + exploding barrels area) is much too good of a camping spot. There's a tall box on the side of the room, and it seems zombies that hit can't nav around it unless someone is standing close to the box, so I can stay in the back close to the med cabinet and snipe off any running through the middle of the room, then approach the box and melee everything that comes around the corner of it. Also I made a Tank get stuck on it and suicide. :P - Finale: The rear mounted gun on the upper level is a great place to get Tanks stuck. Any that are standing in the middle of the upper level keep trying to walk directly to me even though the gun is in their way. I can quickly approach, melee, then step back before they punch me, or just stand there and let them burn while I take care of any horde running around from the sides. I only ever need to fight one Tank honestly - when that upper level is burning - and by then the chopper isn't much longer anyway. XD

I tried something interesting with the tank on that bridge LOL. I tried to have it use a push to throw the tank out off the top of the bridge so when it hit it would make a big thud. Apparently it always falls short now and I am uncertain what kind of ladders are there for the undead but I'd bet there isn't one at all. I consolidated a few things on that map. I'll work on making them function better. BTW you are in trouble now youngman LOL I've figured out how to randomize where stuff comes from. :) Gonna start shaking things up. :)

I don't remember if the earlier versions were like this but: spitter jockey tank tank spitter jockey jockey smoker smoker tank spitter jockey smoker hordes hordes hordes. Then, after you've killed all of those that show up at the same time we have: spitter spitter jockey jockey smoker smoker tank tank spitter...yikes. I like splitting heads as much as the next player but enough is enough. I can get through about a map and a half then need to take a break.

daywalkerdave1963 January 2017

Sounds like most of that occurred on map 1ish I'll look and make sure I didn't accidentally put the wrong version of the map in there. Back Soon.

daywalkerdave1963 January 2017

Ill get a chance hopefully tonight to look at it. thanks for the patience. I work at a college and everyone is coming back. Go figure I'm an IT guy. It's insane right now.

daywalkerdave1963 January 2017

I fixed all the over kill on that map. Still a chance of 2 or 3 tanks but a lot more fun :)

lfdeadguy January 2017

I tried again. On the map where the entrance to the next safe room is up a long ramp (map one? map two?) the usual occurred. I get slammed up against a wall as a spitter is spitting on me as one of the bots is being strangled by a smoker as not one but two tanks are hitting us. One of the bots managed to get me free just as a tank got me and knocked me off map. Now, I like going off map whenever I can. This was way up above the action. As I walked around up there the bots were getting pounded by multiple specials and hordes and, yes, died. But I was up above the fray. As Buffy might have said I was "fray adjacent". So I explored some, got back around to above the ramp to the safe room where of course a hunter and a boomer and a jockey were waiting for me. I still had ammo so I killed them, hopped down without becoming incapped and just barely got into the safe room as everything was about to pounce. Good times. I'd check this reply for typos but you can't check a reply of reply.

Hard and Long Campaign

PROS : Poster (Loading Screen) Hard Lot of Tanks and Witches Original Environments Unique Elements Custom Musics Great Outro CONS : Simple bosses Pattern Lots of Hordes Bots get stuck rescue area

Something refreshing to play

By ShineKiaa April 2016

Completed in expert realism with friends. Bots survivors are meaningless creature. Beginning of the first chapter was kinda cool if I didn't recall wrongly. Supplies were given adequately and the map has very clear navigation or so called direction guide that we didn't get lost whatsoever. There were enough of zombies thrown to us to kill so it was kinda fun to play through. We wanna kill some zombies after all. However, most of the chapters were really short. and due to the fact that they're all brought from other older campaigns, those maps didn't feel connected and the whole campaign didn't have a consistent theme. It didn't really have a story, which is the reason why as I'm writing the review now, even though I've just completed the map one or two days before, I can't really recall how those maps were like. Most of the maps were short and they were mostly like throwing the tanks and hordes on us, it's more like a "hordes and tanks training ground" map. Speaking of tank, yes, we encountered many tanks, easily 2 to 3 tanks in a single chapter, but they spawned at reasonable area, area that was tank-friendly. Finale was too easy with the highground and more than 3 mounted mini-guns provided for us to hold out. Overall, the map seemed fine, but it is not very likely I will be coming back to play this again. Conclusion, still pretty good to play it once with friends if you are running out of map to play.

Great but tough

By whitesquirrel December 2015

Already posted a comment, now review. First, I'd say in a scale of 1-10, 10 being the toughest, this would most likely be an 8. (server aside). Game play was fluid with no real objects placed for hang-ups. Clear directions, and if playing in open spaces the horizon was clearly seen with notable way points. Timed hordes with no real trigger, well, that makes exploring difficult. Not really big on that idea, but no real ding due to the fact that there always was a reward found, (just be quick about it ;) ) Tanks, wow, yea, a lot. Because I tend to play a lot of L4D2 and not always having someone to have a go with, this map can be VERY hard to play with bots. That is probably my biggest hit on this map. (-.50) IMO one should be able to make it to the safe house with 1 health remaining and I really struggled with that on this campaign. From safe room to safe room is not that far but you will have your day to contend with on your way. 6?-7? maps that are actually short, but for the challenges in between it will seem longer ;). No crashes or ctd's and I run 50 or so mods at a time. That's a good thing. Stable. Nicely done. No lag, plus again. Ever changing environment. Plus. Only other real problem I found and it seems to be intermittent is the second safe room. Sometimes your party will be split into two groups with one party outside and that is surely death being as to is taking place at that time in the campaign. (no spoilers). (-.50) Perhaps the author can look at this area to determine what may cause this event. Otherwise it's a keeper for me. Very cool map. One I'll return again when I need to be brought down from my high horse to make me feel feeble, ;) I say it again, give it a go, I'm 46 years old, maybe our younger ladies and gentleman can put these zombies to the fire better than I. Cheers!
