Description

Deep into the swampy unknown, the survivors come across a stranded, desolate ship... The S.S. Landbreaker, a research vessel that was struck with the infection on its return trip... With no one left to pilot... it eventually crashed and settled in the Everglades... Overtaken by the years alone...

But the power is still on?... Not only that, but there are sounds coming from the ship... They almost sound like a Voice!... With what seems like their last and only chance... The survivors board the vessel, for better or for worse...

Map is being made for "Swamp Contest"... Hosted by "L4D2 Mapping Contests" (Link in Changelog)

Contestants have been tasked to make a campaign of any length... With the sole theme of "Swamp"... One of the Most Underused themes we have considering the assets we possess... And with a restriction of only Two months... (Contest started in September 11, and ends in November 11)

***Anything in the "Linked Content" below are NOT required to play this map...
As anything linked below was made for the contest... and this is simply my way to try and ensure that everyone who entered gets a fair chance at being discovered...***

---

The map is completely based on "Icebreaker" from Killing Floor... (A.K.A. the best map in that game... ;3)

Campaign is planned as one map only, and is planned to have support for all four official modes... but Campaign and Versus will take front seat till either the end of the contest, or till I can call it a finished product... and work on full support for the other modes...

**Credits so far**
Technical Support...
-Computator

Scripting Help...
-Rectus

Testers...
-(No one at the moment... haven't finished it yet... XP)

Tools used and their creators
-"Propper" (used to make the metric tons of custom props for the map... i.e. stairs, pipes, and other various things here and there)
-"Shotgunefx's Path Recorder" by shotgunefx (used to make the intro and outro... Tis a great tool)

Various textures and props from...
-CS:Go
-Contagion
-NMRiH
-Portal 2
-And probably more that I am forgetting... I seriously have the assets of like 13 source games in my L4D2... So it is entirely possible for me to be using assests from another game without me even knowing till it is time to package the custom assets... 


Also... Special thanks to Rolfmahwafflz... for having the initiative I lacked, to start our community ran contest... 
And to anyone and everyone that participated... no matter how small...

Cheers... ;)

Uninteresting

This campaign has completely no event before the ending, you know what that means.
The map is very detailed, so it's unfriendly to my potato PC. The lowest fps I got is 16. 
Great detail doesn't mean no model issues. It seemed that the author have no idea how to connect the separate railings.
The ending is broken in the latest version of the game, I guess. I was told to find 5 correct computers, but the rescue arrived before I finished the task. If the ending works as intended, I think I have to prepare for restarts because there were plenty of computers waiting for me to check.
Another issue is about nav. I noticed that CI can't reach survivors standing on some short objects, that's unfunny.
All in all, it's a cheap campaign, except the map detail.
