Lockdown (Left 4 Dead 2)

The virus outbreak holds a death grip on the United States and the government has been forced to lock down the worst hit cities. Unfortunately for you, that means getting out of one. Can you make it to the evacuation points before they cut off the extraction? This campaign comes with a lot of blood and death, say good bye to the l4d1 survivors (sorry Ellis, guess you can't marry zoey after all).

USEFUL INFORMATION:

If you played my other campaign Project: Dreams, you will recognize map 1 and 2. This is a remake.

- Director tanks and witches are disabled for chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4
- Enable HUD messages for a better experience
- Chapter 4 comes in 2 modes. You can choose to play it in a complete dark setting (night mode), or you can pick the brighter mode (evening). Or better yet, you can try them both!

HOW DO I BEAT THE FINAL IN EXPERT MODE WITH 3 BOTS?:

Whether you are playing alone with 3 bots or friends, the final is not as hard as you might think. Throwables are placed out strategically, and if you know where to find them, you are one step ahead those who only run and gun straight forward throughout the tunnel. I have completed Lockdown on expert many times and I always do it with 3 bots. I follow the same strategy every time and it works pretty good. I always use shotgun or assault rifle as primary, and a melee weapon as secondary. The key is to know where the throwable items spawn. If you don't know, I suggest to play a round in easy mode so you can look around. Pretty much whenever you find a throwable, toss it far ahead of you so you can progress forward into the tunnel. Since the tunnel is so narrow, molotovs will create a choking point wherever you throw it. Use this to your advantage. Use mostly melee weapons unless you need to kill off special infected.

Make sure to have a molotov when the tank comes, toss it close to the military truck and backtrack to a safe distance. Wait until it is dead before you start rushing again. Outside the tunnel there are 2 stacks of pipebombs that can be used 5 times each (total of 10 pipes). if you need to heal up, you can use this to your advantage. From here on it is pretty straight forward, toss pipes if you have and run. The gauntlet hordes will stop when you pass the car behind the gate.

Hi! I just downloaded (and tried) your campaign a few hours ago and i must say this is a high quality work, it feels like an official map and most importantly, is totally free! Seriously, waiting for the Last Stand update has never been so comfortable with stuff like this but i had a minor issue that takes away a bit of the experience, some bushes have no texture (they're pink), is this a problem with the campaign or i have to reinstall my game? It gets me kinda anxious to see those things around but that's it, thank you for this amazing stuff, have a good day.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I believe that missing textures can be fixed with an addon called ”valve missing texture” or something like it. As my campaign contains only the standard textures and props :) If that does not work, maybe reinstall the game :)

map was not bad but was sooooo laggy and fps dropping, we were playing it on hard eight realism which is a hard mutation already and the laggy thing made it impossible dropping fps so bad, which made us stopping playing it unfortunately.

Pros: - Great challenging map - Progression from night to daytime - Dark, depressive environment. Immersive gameplay Cons: - Heavy lagging in the first two levels - TOO MUCH SMOKE!. In real life, these survivors will die of suffocation. Also cause heavy lag and impede vision. - Easy to get lost in Chapter 4. - Switch and generator cliche - Fate of L4D1 survivors that we can only hear but not see. - Not recommended for claustrophobics Great map, but it needs some tweaks to make it better.

Thanks for playing ;) I’m working on an extended version of Lockdown. Map 1 is going to be twice the length as of now. And guess what, the super super annoying smoke effects will be removed from at least chapter one. In sight I might add another map to the campaign as well, making it a 6 maps campaign. But first things first. I will only publish these updates if I feel they surpass the current state of Lockdown, as I am quite happy about the way it is now. Hope you had fun!

great map, has lags mostly at start, like a maze but very great map design/layout

Decent but had some issues

By Andersonpakky June 2020

Pros: Maps look very good Survivor Dialogue is a plus Good weapon balance Cons: Lag spikes across every map in the campaign Maps felt really congested, really strange but every map feels like I'm forced against the wall at all times Didn't really like the finale too much. Just a giant tube that forces you in the corners of it, so SI can storm you. Very cheap level design in my opinion Direction can use some work too and a lot of mappers fail at this (Use more lighting to lead the player to where they need to go). Despite every map feeling very compact, I was lost quiet a few times (Map 3 and 4 I think) The main issue though is defiantly the lag spikes and the optimization. Despite all the good looks this map has, it doesn't really run that well. I would recommend working on optimization for future updates because that was my main issue. Not a bad campaign though, just need some tweeks then I will edit the review.

Fun but needs some balancing

By LilG June 2020

Good Plenty of supplies on each map Bot nav wasn't an issue they followed me fine No errors or purple textures Options for light/dark modes Bad Horde spawns were pretty frequent The Tank that breaks down the saferoom door got stuck so it was a sitting duck for us. The door fell down after it died. Weird FPS spikes,my pc isn't great but it was awkward. Apart from that it was fun

high quality campaign well optimized

By Trunten June 2020

lol. :) this campaign ran great for me, perhaps some people don't have well performing computers and multi tasks too much. anyone crashing probably has over modified servers and/or too many addons. my fps was constantly over 100 upwards to 200. never had the crashing issues with the suspected crashing maps. layout and design is well done, could possible use more indication where to go on some maps. finale doens't seem much different compared to usual gauntlet styles like the Parish... I don't see what the problem is.

Good Effort but Poor Optimization

By AmazingNep02 June 2020

I haven't played earlier versions, just this newest, and map 1-3 had MAJOR fps spikes for all players so it wasnt properly optimized, and the finale, the finale was HORRIBLY balanced. Make the finale like Parish or Cold Stream, not just put an ONSLAUGHT of commons and keep commons coming even during a tank, players need to have time to heal up esp after a horde and right before a tank, so it should be wave, break, wave, break, tank, break horde, then trigger the Rescue arrived once u passed the barrier up top. I would like to retry this once it is properly optimized and finale is balanced and hopefully next time it is an amazing 4-5 star experience
