L4D Map 'Dam It' Released

Postby ad_hominem on Sun Jun 14, 2009 8:49 pm

We're already starting to see high-quality stuff come from the Left 4 Dead community, and I'm always happy to bring you news of a quality release from someone on these very forums. Tom Baldry has released a nice looking map as a kind of mini campaign. You can view some of the highlights in this short video:



Head over to his release thread on the forums to find some screenshots and download mirrors.

Is this really front page news? I don't think it is.

I'll actually have to agree with Killa on this one, I've seen way better work not getting front page. It's just inconsistent with the past :P

Well, the creator actually asked me nicely if I could take a look. I can't put up other, better, work if nobody tells me about it :)

its hard out there for a pimp

that guy had a cool map, pretty solid, and funny name. i wonder if we can make our own versions of the new panic sequences planned for l4d2, in l4d. like, having to move from A to B after hittin a button. something to make a l4d map really stand out.

on that note, i cant wait for i hate mountains. http://www.ihatemountains.com/

Very witty....

Also by your logic then every map that's released will be on the front page as long as someone shows you it, I think maps should be kept for map spotlight not front page news, don't think it's worthy. Mods yes but maps no.

I never said that every map would be put on the front page, I took a look at this map, saw it was decent and decided to post it as news. As a result, more people will play a decent custom map, and the creator will see that his work is appreiciated, I don't really see the down side. It's not like we're posting new maps every day - it's been 3 days since the last piece of news was posted. And for that matter, what makes mods that much more important than a well made map? By all accounts, this map will give more replay value and fun to some players than the Curse mod which was released the other day.

A left for dead campagain is alot of work as well and there arent as many out there. So perhaps it is slightly more worthy...
