how about a tomtom like mod that shows you where to head to next, some maps are easy but others i find myself running around looking for awhile.

As far as I know, no, there isn't any mod like that. The official campaigns are linear and guide you with their design so a map isn't necessary, but I'm sorry that you're having trouble navigating them.

Radar, wouldn't work as hoards and specials only spawn when you are near.

radar is just like a small map like in CS doesnt have to show the infected but maybe gascans or the way to go or something would be nice..... if i could mod i would make it .

Please give examples of such maps. IMO all maps are pretty straight forward. And such a minimal would be useless the next 2000 times you play that map.

hummm I guess I am the only one the likes maps in games.... and like I said before Pecc I don't want to see the infected I would just like to see the objective at hand and the paths to get there...... Im sure when i play more I will learn the maps but idk why a game like with wouldnt have a mini map system.... but i guess im the only one that thinks that.

That's inaccurate. Saying that a map isn't needed in this game does not mean that you're the only one who likes maps. The official campaigns are linear, and everything in their design points you towards a specific direction. The exception could possibly be Swamp Fever, but even then there is sufficient guidance IMO. Not once in the 6 years since L4D1 came out have I ever had the thought that this game required a map of any kind. Just play them a little more, pay attention to the "flow" of the map, and listen to the survivor's commentary/conversations and you'll find your way.

I could understand the wish for radar/map if this was a lengthy singleplayer game but these maps are sooo simple and even designed such that you cannot get lost. Having a map showing objective etc. would be very annoying once you have played the map just once. There are many difficulties in this game but finding your way is not one of them ;-)

Still... give us examples of maps that confuse you, please.

In some of the maps there are maps of the area drawn on the walls in saferooms etc. You can see that in Crash Course, Blood Harvest, The Sacrifice and maybe others. But even there people do not pay attention to them as they are not really necessary. Also notice that there is seldom just ONE way to go. Often there's at least two ways to go but both ways converge 100-200m ahead (this is probably mostly done for Versus).

I think like DeXni, I would love some mod, workshop or similar than indicates me the direction where is the next safe room

I mean to have the option of typing a key as "tab" or "m", or any other, and you can see a point or a little yellow star in the screen or something like that, that shows you where you must go or an arrow, or a little map.

That would be cheating.
