Bland map with an incomplete feel

By Sock70 April 2017

Played once, would not play again. Pros A lot of time went into this. Good idea for the ending. Cons A bland map which can't be hidden by making it dark. It would have been better to make the areas smaller and better than long and boring. Poor choice of weapons. No special ammo drops or lasers that we could see. No melee weapons. Lots of glitches with objects zed spawns and structures. Re-use of the same structures makes it uninteresting. Pathing poor. Lots of rooms without windows. Lots of doors you can't open. Make the insides of more of the buildings or shorten the map. The odd locked door is okay.

Good L4D1 Campaign

By FreeCell January 2017

By Centerdeal September 2014

Pros

Realistic in its rural environment. Diary and Data entries read by survivors give backstory. Obviously, the high school gym we are all familiar with, which kind of makes it enjoyable. Grain silos can give you vertigo, which is the purpose of making them so high. Final is creative, and although it gives you some areas to fall back into, overall the area is open and survivors can easily be surrounded, making for more of a challenge.

Cons

Bots can be stupid sometimes (but I think ever campaign is plagued with that). The bots on the silo can be annoying, mostly because they won't go down the ladder, or continuously falling and hanging off the ledge. Because of the open environment, the slower moving Boomer a lot of the times is harmless. The textures could be worked on a little more, since some seem to be stretched and/or blocked (I was able to see lines within the skybox).

Overall, it is a very playable campaign, and it is enough of a challenge to play the campaign numerous times. Allow me to say thing about the map layout itself. It is very realistic. Farm lard is actually wide open and very spaced out, and so are the communities that surround the farms (anyone who doubts this should take a trip to Kansas). Now, this is a good thing and bad thing. It is a good thing since maps should be as realistic as possible (at least I think so). I'm not saying that maps that are more "creative" with their environments are bad, I just don't think they are that good for the game overall, and I myself avoid them. Because this map is realistic, it makes it all the more enjoyable for me to play. The bad thing about this campaign is because the wide open spaces are there, sometimes there is not much of a challenge. If you pretty much stay in the open, you should be safe. Obviously, the levels of the grain silos and the school are put there to break up the monotony of the rural farm land, and it does help a great deal. Again, this map should be downloaded and added to your Left 4 Dead game. You will play it more than once, and you will always enjoy it.

Pros

-- I've always been a sucker for rural/suburban campaigns, and this is a pretty good one. -- The run-down school w/ Halloween dance material is a nice bit of nostalgic americana. -- Safe rooms are really well-designed little areas. -- Collectibles give certain areas a lot of "life." (Perhaps "undeath" would be a better word.) -- Finale is a great alternative to standard scavenging, and ties in with the saferoom graffiti well. (VA is also pretty good!) -- Lots of well-written custom graffiti.

Cons

-- I think you see a bit TOO much of the rural midwest in places. -- Textures get tiled and stretched mercilessly in some portions. -- The silos on the (fourth?) map seem to make the engine freak out-- my FPS dropped massively. -- Speaking of the silos, bots refused to climb down the long ladder. -- The school's panic event seems broken. No doors actually open, and even the bots couldn't find a legit path after I noclipped ahead.

Fun and worthwhile campaign with a lot of rough spots. I'd definitely recommend it, though.

Pros

Different from other campaigns. Nice collectible notes. The finale was not too easy.

Cons

Overall, not that fun. You don't want to play it again. I tried to jump onto the crashed trucks on map 2 and died. AI were stupid on the silos.

A very forgettable campaign, bad when comparing it to others. Worth to play once.
