Hi, I can't seem to interact with the Piano in the second stage. My Left 4 Dead 2 client only has sound mods and virtually nothing else.

Great map

i have played many versions of this map this version was great. Its nice to not have missing textures like some of the prior version thanks for keeping a classic alive

interesting. never had any missing content with any so called "prior versions". again I remain curious what the heck you have going on with your addons and server mods. hmm. although honestly it is still ironic and hypocritical as this is one more modification tainted with Huck and you still play it. Darth simply picked up where Huck left off at. sorry, just very confusing behavior you are exhibiting lately. but as you'll see from previous comments and replies, it can still be truly completed, possibly from Dave and myself :)

however it should be noted this user isn't Darth... Darth has his own account. typical community, so many modifications cycling through so many random users. sadly that's what's become of the community now

Another amazing classic. An "older" version of the campaign and has quite a few differences from the DC version. Tbh the changes the DC version made, whilst I do think improve the experience, there's nothing wrong with a bit more challenge, even if it is a bit more annoying. Only issues I encouneterd was one of the bots spawning on top of something in the saferoom on chapter 4, and them not moving at all, had to kick them off, as they wouldn't teleport later on either. Also bots are a bit hesitant to get onto the roof on chapter 3. Other than that though, no issues found, quite a long campaign over 40 minutes long with some top tier map design and good challenges, good stuff!

From vanilla dawn and directors cut this is by far imho best one.Thank you for restoring maps,story really have immersion when going from level to level. Long,smooth and lot's of zombies.Decent challenge.Didn't encounter any crashes or problems.Good job.
