The campaign titles are links to download sites. Download, unpack, double-click the VPK file to install.
For most L4D2 maps you will need to install the ‘Left 4 Dead 2 Add-on Support’ tool. Without this tool installed you are likely to see pink textures and missing model errors on player-made maps (amongst other issues): In Steam; View->Tools->double-click ‘Left 4 Dead 2 Add-on Support’.

*New 12/08* 2 evil eyes l4d2 - Valve recommended Community Map.
*Updated 09/07* Badwater Basin (TF2) - As recommended by Valve. Originally for team fortress 2 and ported over for Left 4 Dead 2! I did not make this map and I added it so some other people can enjoy it. Have fun!
*Updated 30/06* City 17 - As recommended by Valve. This is a recreation of hl2ep1 part, which is perfectly suitable for l4d world.
*Updated 27/06* No Mercy 2 - The ‘No Mercy’ campaign from L4D made playable in L4D2.

*26/02* Dead On Time 2 - Apparently, the military has setup an evacuation outpost at the train station… may as well head there…
*19/02* Dead Air Two - as the title suggest this is the 3rd campaign from the first game. with that said, this is only to tide us over until the pros on this site can finish theirs.

Left 4 Dead
Sun, 1st Nov 2009 by Alfie.
The campaign titles are links to download sites. Download, unpack, double-click the VPK file to install.
7 Hours Later - A complete five map campaign, 7 Hours Later is done in near professional quality. Start in the forest, and work your way to the airport slaying football-fields of freaks in the way. Completely worth the time to check this one out!
Back to School - The Survivors will be on there way to school while escaping from the bloody infected. Battle hordes of zombies in detailed environments while traveling Back to School.
Cape Murder - Your hapless band of misfits picked the mouth of this creek to land their sinking dingy. You hoped for safety. Welcome to disappointment village, population YOU!
Coal’d Blood - This campaign starts in an abandoned bed and breakfast and leads the survivors down into an old abandoned coal mine. The survivors eventually find their way out the other side of the cave to be rescued by a passing news chopper.
Dam It! - This large, well built map will have you enter a dam packed full of zombies. Work your way through the 5-story complex through sleeping areas, offices and generators to finally reach the rooftop for an action-packed chopper rescue.
Death Aboard - How many times can you escape a prison? Apparently one more, because Death Aboard does a great job on the zombie threat scale. Once you fly the coup, catch a boat at the docks and prepare for the finale on an island with a lighthouse!
Death Row - This three part campaign will have our survivors battling their way through a city to a prison on the outskirts of town where they will get inside and radio for assistance. The attention to detail on these maps makes it very enjoyable!
Death Stop - A well thought out 4-map campaign, Death Stop has your favorite survivalists working their way to a truck stop against a zombie onslaught. There are a lot items in this map, so have fun shooting all the propane tanks and gasoline canisters.
Night Terror - Welcome to your nightmare! Night Terror will take you on a crazy trip through a forest to a haunted house, through an underground crypt, jungle ruins, and much more. A strange mix-up, keeps your attention all the way through.
Suicide Blitz - Another awesomely designed campaign, Suicide Blitz has you rampaging against zombies until a big finish in a gigantic stadium. Surprise, surprise, there is no football going on - but your brain is on the 20 yard line.
Vienna Calling - It’s really hard to be a tourist when a zombie is trying to crack open your spleen like a coconut, so don’t spend to much time exploring ancient catacombs or the famous recreational areas of Vienna or the angry undead Austrians will kill you.
The Arena of the Dead - Escort your companions across town and over the rooftops to the Arena. Hold off the legions of zombies until the Rescue Chopper arrives.

‘More zombies…is it all going South?’
Thu, 29th Oct 2009 by Alfie.
So, the demo for Left 4 Dead 2 has been released for those that pre-ordered, everyone else can get their hands on it on the 3rd November.
There has been a lot of heated discussion on various forums about L4D2, mostly around the fact that it was stated that L4D would be supported and freely updated on an ongoing basis, yet Valve have chosen to release a new game a year after the last which includes elements proposed as updates to the old game.
The fear is that this will divide the on-line community and that Valve are ‘gouging’ customers by releasing a new full price game instead of a (typically cheaper) expansion to the old game.

‘Stopping the infection…one bullet at a time’
Wed, 14th Oct 2009 by Alfie.
I bought Left 4 Dead recently at a friend’s suggestion, and played through the single player campaign to get a feel for it. It’s a lot of fun, even with the AI party members occasionally doing dumb stuff like ‘disturbing the witch’ (I’m looking at you, Louis).
I play a lot of on-line multiplayer games, but usually I don’t know any one else I’m playing with more than having seen them around on the public servers. I don’t go for the whole being part of a clan thing, and most of my real-life and on-line friends either don’t play the same games that I do or play on consoles…or so I thought. Tonight we played with 3 of us (1 whom I know from on-line) which was lots of fun. We’re going to try to make Wednesday night our L4D night.
