I actually had to play this campaign twice to reach the end once, because due to some of my add-ons conflicting with each other, the game crashed on the third map of my first playthrough.
Despite this, I was having a great time exploring every map. Thanks to clever use of lighting, I had an easy time navigating through the campaign and the design of each map was fantastic, even though some few areas lacked a bit of detail, especially near dead ends. This isn't very obvious unless you really look for it.
The placement and variety of supplies was excellent and searching for them usually felt rewarding. The only thing I wasn't exactly happy about was the finale, in which throwables were abundant and both the amount and variety of primary weapons to choose from left to be desired. I checked every building and while molotovs, pipe bombs, vomit jars, pain pills and adrenaline were anything but scarce, the only guns I was able to find were a SPAS-12 and an M16 (or, in my case, an M4A1). I don't remember seeing any first aid kits either, but I didn't exactly search every single corner and when out in the open, I tried to stay close to light sources.
During the finale, which had the director throw about 10 Special Infected and two Tanks at me, I was having no hard time holding out sitting on the ammo pile directly next to the HAM radio. The insane amount of throwables also made rushing towards the rescue vehicle rather easy, since the Common Infected that came rushing at me from all directions could easily be taken care of with a well-aimed pipe bomb.
I played through the campaign in single player mode on Advanced difficulty and even though everyone was close to dying at least once throughout the campaign, noone ever died once, although I was well-prepared for the worst case scenario, having a defibrillator with me at any given time and leaving the first aid kits to the bots. I counted a total of 11 defibrillators from the first map to the last.
I highly recommend giving this campaign a try.

Deadbeat Escape
Left 4 Dead 2
Survivors must make their way through the rural outskirts and into the city with hopes of finding the evacuation center in time. Deadbeat Escape is a four-map campaign that supports coop and versus. EDIT: Thanks for all the comments! I hope you enjoy the campaign. :) *NOTE: due to naming issues, if you downloaded v2.0 on May 16 through May 17, then I recommended deleting it and downloading v2.1. Contact me if you need more details. Thank you, and sorry for any inconvenience.* Feel free to add me on steam.

Difficult but fair, just the way I like it. Maps are long but that's something I enjoy. Good work

Also worth noting - the lighting is fantastic - and while the map is dark, your next waypoint is always lit up to grab your attention to make it intuitive. Also, the author really put great work into making the paths and architecture not completely linear. Every path direction change is something different from 90 degrees, which is the fault of most custom maps were every direction change is. This is a great campaign.
Overall a well-designed campaign

An unknown gem found

I don't know how I missed this map before - just ran across it with some luck, and boy, it is outstanding. Some really great details and visuals, and something very few maps do: you can see your eventual target far in the distance with each map leading to the finale, getting closer with each one. Some of the locations are really beautiful, and the ammo and item frequency and placement is almost spot on. There were three times that I came across an ammo pile on my last clip. My only criticism: there were a few places in natural environments where some of the earth ledges were too sharp, particularly the edges over water. But if you have yet to try this campaign, you are missing out - it is a keeper - almost the same quality as the stock maps.
Very Well Made

I believe this is a very good map, i encountered no bugs while playing and i enjoyed playing it all the way to the last level, i personally thing there might have been a bit too much supply distribution, but i wouldn't let something like that lower my rating since it was a good map, thats whats most important.
