I've yet to play this. FPSB is down, and you can't download via the actual server, shame.

EDIT: There is a site apart from FPSB that you can download them from called L4Dmaps.com YAY!

I suggest the Detour Ahead campaign. It's good.

re: Left 4 Dead Update Releases (PC)

I got on Left 4 Dead earlier today to try out custom maps, and no one has even uploaded any yet. It turns out that to upload your maps onto Left 4 Dead, Valve requires you to convert your map to a certain file type which nobody seems to know how to do. I guess it is just a matter of time until we can play the campaigns now.

re: Left 4 Dead Update Releases (PC)

youve always been able to play custom maps by opening up the console and typing in a certain command to play a certain map. this update will hopefully make things easier for multiplayer though as before it was a ball ache getting everybody into a custom map. hoepfully it will work more like the counter strike system but like you say, somebody needs to upload a map 1st, and then you have to be lucky enough to stumble into the lobby!

re: Left 4 Dead Update Releases (PC)

Wasn't bad.

I just played what was probably the most anticipated used made campaign, Death Aboard. You start at a prison and make your way into an abandoned ship at sea. It's definitely as good as the official campaign maps.

Edit: The finale blew me away and the way you get saved is just ridiculous, it's actually the hardest part.

Death Aboard worked for you bloodyomen? The first two levels were fine and then the third just won't load for me. It's glitched or something.

re: Left 4 Dead Update Releases (PC)

Yes, I've played all five maps many times with other people. The only time it's ever glitched up for me was when the rescue arrived, we all died near the rescue and it considered it as a victory, but we still spawned at the beginning of chapter five with the credits music playing.

Death Aboard Download

That's where I downloaded the VPK for Death Aboard. I notice many other sites only have four out of the five maps.
