Fantastic Campaign
Pros: Great level designs. Easy to navigate. Good custom music and music choices for the Special Infected. Creepy Witch music. Daylight! Cons: Bots would try walking through the barricade to get to the safe room in the second level. I played the L4D2 version a couple of times with some people so I figured I give the first one a go. I played single player with bots and didn't have too much issue with them except for one instance at the playground in the second map. When you have to break the barricade probably hold out in some other spot if you're playing with bots. The bots would constantly try to walk through the barricade when you're near it. If you try breaking the barricade the bots will continuously walk into the fire and damage themselves. They will even get themselves blown up once the barricade breaks. This was my only issue with the campaign. Everything else was perfect. You can tell a lot of hard work was put into this map and I greatly appreciate it.

Pros:
nice detail in the map,very nice custom music which gave very eery feelings [ on each special infected]
Cons:
OH GOD THE LAG WAS AWFUL -- very bad lag. missing images/pink black checkers? errors a lot of then. the special infected spawns very easily like lets say we could have just killed a hunter but out of nowhere a second two later is a spitter. what intro? all my game did was just turn black the screen did and i couldn't move side to side until i saw the same black screen
Conclusion:
The lag is just awful man I didn't even get to continue playing because of how bad it was? Not to mention the errors,and pink/black items? it made it very difficult to play. The details and music were the only things i really liked about the map but in the end i stopped playing all together [didnt even finish it] and deleted.

Pros:
Awesome map with great detail the broadcasts about the zombie apocalypse were a very nice touch. DAYLIGHT! Awesome intro and ending. Very fun to play. Really felt like I was in the movie Dawn of the dead.
Cons:
None that are worth mentioning.
Conclusion:
Pay close attention to this map creators, because this is how it's done. No endless hordes. No Witch every two feet. No back to back Tanks. Just a well designed, well put together map that is just fun to play. I'm giving this one a perfect ten.

Pros:
-wonderful idead and adaptaions from the movie 'Dawn of the Dead' -looks great -Ai is'ent quite as terrible as usual -wonderful map! -fun and creative panic events
Cons:
-doors wouldent open once I made it into the mall storage/shipping area after panic event -huge file and slows my computer down on two of the five maps, i mean really hard for my computer to run and needs alot of storage memory -not quite worth all that hype -Ai is'ent quite as terrible as usual but still bad
Conclusion:
Great map one of the best but maybe a little overrated

Pros:
Some of the best design I've seen in a campaign. Large, well designed maps with a stunning amount of detail! Great custom content everywhere! Interesting and well thought-out panic events! Awesome custom soundtrack!
Cons:
None.
Conclusion:
Even though it had a difficult beta release and many obstacles along the way the DBD team provided a campaign that will go down in history as one of the greatest achievements concerning custom campaigns in L4D. This campaign provides everything you would like to experience in a L4D game. Large, well designed maps with a stunning amount of detail! Interesting and well thought-out panic events! Great custom content everywhere you look and a awesome custom soundtrack that really adds to the overall atmosphere of the campaign itself and the storyline. What more could you ask for? It's very clear that this team really went for perfection and they obviously delivered. Even though I immensely enjoyed Dead Before Dawn 2 and it's DC version, this one will always be my favorite version despite the fact that all versions play very different from each other. As a real fan of L4D, all there is left to say is: DBD team, you have my thanks and I salute you! :-)

Pros:
Great attention to detail Made by a true zombie fan Good Atmosphere Good Challenge Excellent Story
Cons:
Some difficulty with the AI A little confusing to navagate
Conclusion:
This is a great map and a must get for anybody who just has this game. You can tell this campaign was made by a true zombie fan and took their time making it. If youre a zombie fan and want a little bit of story with youre zombies this is definatly the map to get. And if you can tell you can find things that show respect to the deadfather himself George Romero. I highly recomend this campaign.

Pros:
Great remake of an otherwise bad movie. Interesting crescendos. Love the radio parts, sent chills down my spine. Amazing detail. The finale was awesome.
Cons:
Minor bugs with bots Certain buttons didn't work properly Crank crescendo was a little too tricky More hints would be nice.
Conclusion:
Great campaign, I can tell it was a lot of work but it was definitely one of the most well crafted campaigns I've played.

Pros:
Custom sounds Different, Fun events Very Creative Daylight!
Cons:
Glitchy Bot Moments
Conclusion:
Very fun, Creative campaign with varied difficulty. Great custom sounds, and an awesome finale. The only negative thing I have to say about this campaign is that the bots often strayed away from me, and at one point got stuck in a door, so I was forced to kill them. Otherwise, this is probably the best Custom Campaign I have ever played.

Pros:
5 good-sized, varied maps Looks great and has daylight! Custom sounds and music Unusual tasks
Cons:
A few glitches with the bots
Conclusion:
A great campaign that is pretty tough in Single Player Advanced mode. The maps look great and are well varied. The only letdown was that the bots sometimes hung back for long periods and occasionally wandered off for no reason -- clearly not an issue when playing with other people. Otherwise a top campaign.

Pros:
Custom event music Alternate paths leading to the same destination Highly Polished Original Voice content CUTSCENES Awesome Intro Surprise Tank owns all Original Graffiti A campaign that easily outdoes any of the campaigns valve has made.
Cons:
The first door closing was tricky(glitchy?) The AC loading could have moved a bit more smooth
Conclusion:
Overall I am Impressed, well worth the file size. And Unlike the Silent Hill camp, the audio on this WORKS. My one regret is that I was left for dead during the finale.

Pros:
-The amount of detail and resemblance to the movie certainly shows just how much effort was put into creating the campaign -The finale was fun to play and i enjoyed the final cutscene -I thought the radio announcements were a great touch to give the campaign a bit of story to it - The toilet through the window was a cool little addition to what happened in the film -The use of custom sounds and voices was great, especially with the Mall guard NPC helping you around the Mall and the areas prior to the Mall -Finding the valve wheels was a tough but fun -Overall a fantastic map!!
Cons:
I dont think this area is worth my time, nothing to complain about at all
Conclusion:
As the first downloaded map i played for left 4 dead it was certainly worth it, the detail and fantastic effort put into it and how it resembled the 2004 Dawn of the Dead surroundings well shows jut how much time was spent into creating a masterpiece of a campaign, and as a fan of both the original and the remake i couldnt stay away from this map!

Pros:
-The entire mall looked and felt fantastic. -Loved the campaign poster, very nicely done. -Awesome custom music and sounds. -The finale was fun as. -The whole campaign looked beautiful. -Loved the radio newscasts. -Makes you feel as if you're in a zombie apocalypse. -Loved the part at the gas station with the guy in the car. -Loved the parts where you were told stop or you'd be fired upon. -All in all a brilliant campaign.
Cons:
-Would of liked to have gone through Anna's house.
Conclusion:
Easily the best custom campaign I've ever played, very close between this and I Hate Mountains. If you're hesitant about the file size it's entirely worth it, it has a huge amount of custom sounds, music etc. The author must of been a ridiculous amount of hours into this, as this is just fantastic.

Pros:
Good performance Maps look gorgeous Best custom campaign poster I have ever seen Great structure to the maps, never got lost Great voice acting, sounded professional Great custom music, again it sounded professional Great subtle mix of humor Mall looked amazing, really felt like I was in one Events were unique, fun, and required teamwork Finale holdout area really felt like something from a zombie apocalypse Finale cut scene put a huge smile on my face
Cons:
Tank spawn upon attempting to enter the mall for the first time didn't seem natural The furniture store cut-scene wasn't that great Survivors got stuck upon attempting to enter the mall for the first time, as if there was something blocking them (happened on a second play though, was easily fixed with a restart)
Conclusion:
Easily the best custom campaign I have ever played, even better than "I Hate Mountains" IMO. I was hesitant of downloading this custom campaign at first due to it's file size and not so good reviews right at the top, but man, I definitely regret that. Don't hesitate at all to get this master piece! Also, I am very picky when it comes to aesthetics in a map, I am always finding things that seem out of place to me in 99.8% of custom campaigns (that .2% that seem perfect are DBD and IHM), but this campaign was very pleasing on my eyes. How people can rate this with a score of 50 is mind-boggling to me. Please give us the directors cut for L4D1!

Pros:
Its ok, I like the placement on the weapons and the theme is cool..
Cons:
the finale for the air condition is not right whats up with the door?? its made from a function brush and works off of what a logic timer? whatever the air condition does not really need four levers to move it. and the mall was ok but whats up with the timers on the finale for the mall? change that, its not real at all and makes it feel like a arcade game.
Conclusion:
Its well put together on part of design but lacks on game play.. the story line adds the flavor but still lacks in areas of direction, the helicopter that explodes flys over for no reason but to crash to the ground.. Good to play for anyone looking for a change of events , rather then the same l4d maps.
