this is a very creepy map and I felt tense all the way till the finale this is great for making you feel like whats around the corner not make is too different but also not much is the same from No Mercy. my only issue I had was one of the bots got stuck on the ladder in the finale to the rooftop. but I still enjoy it and I feel like I'm going to play it when I want to play a map that makes me tense.

This is definitely l4d1 no mercy beta. it is a really nice campaign. however, the downside is that there is no l4d2 weapons in this campaign. so no melee weapons, no incendiary or explosive ammo, no guns from l4d2. its basically all l4d1 related weapons, which is kind of a bummer. however you play with cheats, you can give yourselves some of the l4d2 weapons but still. It's a good campaign because it brings back the l4d1 feeling, which is understandable why they remove l4d2 items but i still hope they added l4d2 weapon items for maybe a separate urban underground campaign for l4d2 stuff.

Perfect. Just a bot navmesh glitch in the finale. They seem to get stuck on a ladder until a spitter forces them to move they will then teleport to the human.

PROS Darker No Mercy Removed L4D2 items to bring back the L4D1 feel CONS Bots wouldn't grab ammo in the finale Bots wanted to get stuck on a ladder in the elevator shaft this time. CONCLUSION Don't know what happened, but version 1.0 played perfectly for me, while this one has dumber bots in the finale. Still good, though.

I love this layout and design, and it's, in my opinion, better than the final No Mercy. I noticed that, unlike the beta version and the final versions, this one also has far more realistic lighting. Even a week after societal structure collapses, the lights aren't going to be on. I grew up in Florida. Sometimes it took over a day, sometimes two or three, to get power back after a hurricane. A hurricane does not eat people, until the Hurrishark/Sharkcane Sharknado spinoff inevitably happens. I would enjoy seeing one with the unrealistic lighting, just to see the details more, but for gameplay, this darkness really ramps up the tension. I don't know if it's on your end or mine, but I also get a tank and a witch on every level randomly, besides the last, which just has the scripted tanks in the finale. If this was something you did intentionally, thank you. They're little boss battles, and I believe video games should stop trying to be movies and just be video games. Trying to be movies doesn't make them more artistic. Video games are artistic on their own merits, and trying to be movies doesn't help, but hinder that. You don't see them trying to make sculptures more like paintings, do you? That idea sounds insane and impossible, and to me, so do video games being more like movies. It's like Nutella on a hot dog. Two great tastes, and anyone that combines them is awful. But, I'm on a tangent here. My point is, I love how this not only is more realistic with the darkness, but how it's more fun and video game-y.
