Pros

Available on L4D1. Great custom music. Not too dense or dry of supplies. Memorable environments.

Cons

Bots can get stuck on Map 3 (around the optional door). Optional door in Map 3 is somewhat pointless. Difficulty ramps up on Map 4. Tanks can be extremely lethal on Maps 4 and 5.

An unforgettable campaign, most people would have started off with this masterpiece and others should start with it.

Pros

Hi I'm ExpensivecatMR the reviewer now this Campaign Is very hard if you an expert on Left4dead1 then you must have finished this game.. This is an really good campaign but it's not in my top 5 campaign I'd really like to play.

Cons

â€¢Well the music is not very scary or get's you in the game â€¢And it not scary.

Overall i think this game is an expert normal playable game.. if you're in to scenery which involve prisons and stuff you like this game Thank you. Bye.I'll give this an 8.1

Pros

+ Memorable locations with fantastic visuals. + A very original collection of settings that all blend together flawlessly. + Great pacing and difficulty. Official quality. + Original music for the entire campaign. + Fantastic events and finale, with a great escape sequence.

Cons

-While the Map 2 electric puzzle is nice, it is a little unclear that's what you're meant to do on a first play. - Lack of ragdolls on Map 4 (though honestly it's such an old map, if you were to ever fix this now I'd be sad lol. It entertains me a little to have the zombies become INSTANTLY VAPOURISED by my shotgun blasts). - Finale can drag on as zombies work all the way up the cliffs to reach you. On the flipside it is very fun to snipe the tank as much as possible before he reaches you on harder difficulties.

Just thought I'd come back and review some old favourites since I recently played Left 4 Dead 1 again. While this is from earlier days before even Left 4 Dead 2 was out, thus it doesn't have much clever or fancy in terms of scripted events or puzzles like many recent campaigns tend to have, it's still one of the best and a must-play for any fan of classic Left 4 Dead action. One of the best custom campaigns for Left 4 Dead 1 by a long shot (and it's Left 4 Dead 2 remake is just as fun). On par with Valve's own original official Left 4 Dead 1 maps.

Pros

figuring this map out is like a puzzle. I love this map because of the mind benders, especially the sewer electricity line fix. the map was well optimized. I run this while using the play sound function, and I have no lags whatsoever. the finale turned from a holdout on the lighthouse to a gauntlet to the balloon. I loved it well detailed maps, making it easy to navigate on some areas and hard on others

Cons

some bugs on the shipwrecked area and the 3rd map. on the 3rd map, the zombies seem to spawn underwater, as they appear on the side of the fence that is facing the sea(near the crane). the shipwreck had zombies getting stuck every so often. maybe it's because of the tilted ship.

this map is definitely worth every second of playing. if it were my decision, I'd make this a DLC as well.
