City 17 v3.0 for Left 4 Dead 2

The already really nice City 17 campaign for Left 4 Dead has been ported to Left 4 Dead 2 as version 3.0. Complete with a rain storm, gauntlet and loads of other goodies.

This is the best Left 4 Dead 2 campaign so far in my opinion.

Infected bots are coming for Left 4 Dead 2

According to the l4d2 blog, there will be infected bots soon. This will help balance versus matches where the infected team isn’t full with bloodthirsty human players.

Updated custom campaigns

City17 has been updated to 2.4, now with versus support.

Dead on Time 2 has been updated to 2.5. Unfortunately there is still a ton of noclip problems with some l4d entities (notably wooden inner doors), but at least the campaign is playable.

I also removed some buggy non-working campaigns (Silent Hill, Big Brother and some other.)

All details are on the front page.

Left 4 Dead 2 now supports l4d custom content

I tried adding Death Aboard V7 to the Left 4 Dead 2 servers yesterday. It played decently with only a few missing textures. One downside is that noclip can occur on several objects in-game for example doors..

Hopefully map creators will re-compile their maps with the Left 4 Dead 2 authoring tools so we can enjoy the campaigns with melee weapons and working objects in-game.
