Dark Carnival: Remix (Left 4 Dead 2)

Dark Carnival: Remix is a remake of Dark Carnival that restores beta and cut content and adds new areas of Whispering Oaks for you to explore! See the Tunnel of Love with flowing water, the towering Ferris Wheel spinning around, and the explosive Concert finale as it was originally intended. In addition, new mechanics have been added for versus mode that provide for a more competitively balanced experience. There's also a secret ending cutscene that bridges the gap between Dark Carnival and Swamp Fever if you can find all five secret coins (one on each map! Special thanks to the original designers of Dark Carnival at Valve for providing me with information about its beta development.

==============
1/22/2019

3 new melee weapons added, including a Cymbal, Bass Guitar, and Midnight Riders Guitar to the finale. Rescue closets also added, along with some minor optimizations, bug fixes, and visual improvements. Slight rework to the beginning of Map 3 (The Tunnel of Love). Removed the second Tank in finale in Versus for balance reasons, and tweaked the map point value.

a hard but fun twist

By SerenityRose 2 weeks ago

this was a fun but also a very hard map I do love the different things this map have you do and the final was very fun to booth. there was no cheap deaths and I always knew where to go you have to try very hard to get lost or not pay attention to your Surroundings the bots never got stuck. no bugs or glitches. I gave this a 4 out of 5 the map was challenging but also fair and the final was a lot of fun. Recommended difficulty Easy/Normal. (the maps is fun but if you're not paying attention to yourself or others it can be hard to deal with the horde.) play it at least once

Dark Carnival: Remix

By Citizen smith last month

What can I say except excellent work, Dark Carnival happens to be my favourite map but have seriously over played it so this was a refreshing to see an extension of it, love the many areas you have added although sometimes slightly confusing at times but all part of the fun and the ending was a nice surprise again love the many tasks you have to complete and taking away the towers I thought was a mistake but turns out to be much better, I would have loved a little run around on the mono rail and the big wheel but I guess that's pushing it lol, I didn't find any bugs only played once will keep you posted also plays good on easy by yourself.again well done and thanks for a brilliant map extension first class :)

Perfect

By MiCura last month

After several tests and matches, this campaign is perfect. Much better than the original

Basically no reason to play the regular Dark Carnival again

**Pros: >Great level design. Good pacing. >A lot of attention to small details. Finally feels like a real amusement park. >Many new and improved areas. >A bit lengthier levels compared to the official version. >Very nice, slightly modified events. >The finale chapter is amazing. Challanging but not frustrating. >Custom survivor dialogue. >Easter eggs. >Good ammo placements. **Cons: >Could be a bit more difficult overall. >Way too many throwables. The abundance of molotovs and gascans is quite silly, especially in the 2nd chapter. >Bad optimization. Frequent fps drops, mostly due to long sightlines of which there are many. I'd personally prefer having a couple more geometric pop-in instances rather than tanking fps drops on an overkill rig. Hope it gets improved on. >Survivor dialogue plays even if a survivor is dead. Mostly noticeable during the finale. "TURN ON THE LIGHTS!" - Coach from beyond the grave. **Conclusion: Overall it's an amazing remix. A must play for everyone. Between all the recent garbage, It's incredibly pleasant to see some quality stuff still being released this late in the game's lifecycle. Due to a couple of problems (mainly the optimization) I can't give the campaign a 5-start rating (yet). But I hope it will improve with future updates. A huge thanks to the author for making this. I'm certain the community appreciates the immense effort put into this project!
