I played this in 2015/2016 and I NEVER forgot the experience. I have recently started playing again and came back to express my love for this map and its deliberate design to give infected players more edge in versus play, making them very dangerous instead of being merely "road bumps" for survivors to deal with. As a side effect of the redesign, co-op and singleplayer games on this map are lengthier and a lot more fun as well. The panic events are the highlight of this map remake, especially on the Church and Boathouse Finale levels. The creative twists on them are AMAZING and the train rescue was a breath of fresh air from the usual escape methods. On top of that, this map builds on the strengths of the original designs and expands on them. The sewers were a blast to navigate through as well (watch out for the giant gaping hole...) Pros: -Creative level designs -Fresh twist on a classic -Lengthier levels for more fun co-op Cons: -NOT FOR BEGINNERS -Thin supplies and a long way to go: good chance of running out of ammo and you might have to use secondary weapons -Infected-sided maps (arguably a con).

Although it was hard, it was cool

Whilst I enjoyed it quite a bit I will say I think it's a little bit too hardcore? The lack of supplies throughout maps definitely can be an issue, so I'm not sure how I feel about it, it's not to the point where you're struggling for supplies, although on my server which has a few tweaks it certainly was. Also melee viewmodels are missing on this campaign, and can cause some polygon stretching. As for the map design the chapters are looong. Like really, really long. I want to say twice the size of some of the bigger L4D2 maps in general, so if you die far in, too bad you're doin' the whole chapter again buddy! Maybe more checkpoints would've been nice, it goes back to being too hardcore in my opinion. There's definitely more/forced special spawns on chapter 4, which is quite cheap, there's an admittedly funny event where 4 hunters jump from a rooftop, but again, too hardcore? Whilst I do think the redesign/alternate routes are really cool and creative, the difficulty of the map is tough to recommend to the casuals, and if you're looking for a fun game night with buddies, well if you have experience, give it a shot, otherwise avoid.

This campaign has got a lot of potential to make up for its cons when it comes out of beta with the next update, despite that this remake of death toll I would prefer over the L4D2 port. Bots getting killed in the finale when only 1 person makes it is annoying enougn to people. This campaign is challenging, tho almost impossible to beat on expert due to the low number of supplies with the health packs scarce in saferooms as such. Map - 8/10 Events - 5/10 Exp - 7/10 Overall - 6.5/10

an excellent campaign map, with plenty of imaginative and interesting new areas. it would be my preferred remake of the original death toll campaign were it not for the lack of good guns/ammo and some flaws with crescendo events, such as taking too long to destroy something or getting incapacitated by an annoying feature. overall i would recommend, but i think it needs a bit more work.
