Custom L4D2 Campaign/Versus?

Post by NerevarineKing » Fri Apr 26, 2013 10:06 pm

Any interest in playing a custom campaign or versus some evening?

If so, please leave any map suggestion! :dance:

If it were the right evening, maybe, keeping in mind I haven't played L4D2 very much.

Haven't done vs on any custom campaigns to be honest, always figured there was a lack of interest, not to mention most official servers and our own don't support them.

A handful are worth trying; the Lef5 4 Dead blog used to have a list of featured maps. I remember a couple of them, but the blog no longer seems to have the list:

Suicide Blitz
Death Aboard
City 17

This is hard to be cool and suave while being informative at the same time. Goddamn my coolness.
In my experience, common sense isn't too common.

Helm's Deep is amazing.
City 17 is amazing.
Haunted Forest is ok.
Suicide Blitz is even worse than Cold Stream beta.
Not familiar with Death Aboard.

Looking through some custom maps, I found this one the most interesting.

From a gameplay standpoint, these two aren't the best, but I really enjoyed them because of the theming:

Zombies of the Caribbean
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Zombies

They're both by the same guy, and both are based on Disneyland rides - Pirates of the Caribbean and the Indiana Jones Adventure, specifically. The Indy one is far more polished and uses a lot of custom content to do a remarkable job of fully re-creating the ride, whereas the Pirates one has a small amount of custom content but uses default Infected models for all the ride's characters, which looks rather awkward. There is also a bug that I found in the Pirates one where occasionally the campaign cannot be completed because the button to open a gate near the end fails to work. I've only seen that happen once though, so it may have just been a fluke.

Like I said, neither one is great from a gameplay standpoint, but if anyone's ever looking for a novelty campaign to play without any concern for seriousness, polish (in the PotC one at least, although the Indy one also has a handful of rare game-breakers if you do things wrong), or challenge (both campaigns are quite easy and very short), I think they're at least worth checking out.

City 17 has been added to the Steam Workshop:
For a quick synopsis: It's basically Half-Life 2 Episode 1, if Half-Life 2 Episode 1 were Left 4 Dead 2. And it works so well.

City 17 and Helm's Deep look like solid choices!

Any other suggestions? :D

I did a single player playthrough of the workshop's version of City 17, I'm actually going to recommend against playing it sometime. I don't know if it was a combination of Advanced and the Director being a $&#%! but there was next to nothing in terms of supplies, leading to me having to pace myself very very slowly throughout the campaign so that I wouldn't burn what little I was finding. In what may very well be some sort of epic fail, I found more defibrillators than pain pills, despite not a single death until the finale.

The campaign is also extremely long. Start to finish clocked a full hour, which is average for a VS match. It's just not as good as I remember it.

On a side note, Helm's Deep is a Survival map; we can't play VS on it without the Survival VS mutation in place. Helm's Deep however is actually loaded on Valve's official L4D2 servers (the workshop version) so you don't need to worry about loading it onto ours; if we don't already have it.

Helm's Deep it is!
If you don't already have it downloaded: Here it is!
I'll try get a group going tonight around 7-8 VST. I'll just invite people who expressed interest in playing and we'll start a second lobby if necessary.

I would like to try some versus on a couple of different maps. This might be kind of hard to do, as it requires 8 of us to download it ahead of time:

Damit 2
Map info: http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=6176 Download: http://www.l4dmaps.com/mirrors.php?file=6176

Death Aboard
Map info: http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=4861 Download: http://www.l4dmaps.com/mirrors.php?file=4861

Both came out orginally for L4D1, so some of you may have played them, but they are remade for L4D2.
