Morning Discussion
by Alice O'Connor, Aug 24, 2009 4:15am PDTOh, it's all fun and games here at Shacknews. Chris gallivants around QuakeCon, cosying up to id CEOs and superstars. Nick kicks back at BlizzCon to reacquaint himself with his dear friend the wizaaaaaaard and befriend Diablo 3's monk. Even Maarten's in on the fun, hitting up Gamescom to enjoy countless video games in a sophisticated European manner including Borderlands, which he said looked particularly splendid before sucking on a clove cigarillo.
Me? Well, knowing that events are far more work than they might appear to be, I'm secretly a little glad that I end up staffing the office to post the flood of media, even if it does mean I miss out on playing all the fancy pants video games before the hoi polloi.

Horde sizes are pretty huge and the campaign itself is a little long. But it's high quality stuff for a custom campaign. I thought the parking lot part of the campaign was great. Highly recommended.

I haven't finished the completed version yet but did play it while it was in beta. Pretty good campaign at the time. Highly recommended.

Looks pretty good but there were many times when there were no zombies at all in the forest parts of the campaign. Could probably use a little more work and tweaking. Nothing special.
Helms Deep (Survival) - http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=1274
Huge, massive map based on the castle fortress thing in LOTR. There are tons of health kits, propane tanks, gas cans, etc. Despite the epic size, it was pretty fun with friends. It's even got it's own music! Highlyl recommended.
Dust 2 (Survival) [beta] - http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=2094
It's de_dust2 from CS:S! Pretty much the same map but modified a bit for zombies. Worth playing but kinda gets old after a while.

Been a while since I played this one so I don't remember any details but it was nothing special.

This campaign was fun to go through once but I'd only recommend it with friends.
Night Terror [beta] - http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=1693
This was a pretty cool campaign where each map had it's own theme. I thought it was kinda long and there was a map (maybe the 3rd one) that I don't think would be possible with expert. Worth a play through.
Dam It - http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=896
Very short campaign (only one map) but was pretty cool. I thought it was pretty well polished for a custom map. Recommended.
Remember: L4D is much more fun playing with friends than without. So try these out with other people for maximum fun.
