Top 50 Left 4 Dead 2 Custom Campaigns

The Top 50 Left 4 Dead 2 Custom Campaigns, with posters and download links at GameMaps[www.gamemaps.com]. This is a reference for those who are looking for the best custom campaigns to play.

Introduction

A quick search on GameMaps[www.gamemaps.com] or Steam Workshop shows hundreds of custom campaigns, and in this guide I selected those that can be considered as the Top 50.
The campaigns were evaluated according to three criteria: graphics (detail of 3D models, textures, design, lighting, etc), originality and gameplay on expert realism. The presence of unsolved bugs, crashes or conflicts was also taken into account.
The degree of difficulty of a campaign (its events and the frequency of spawning hordes and special/common infected) does not interfere in its gameplay note, because this basically depends on team that is playing, its tactical capacity (teamwork) and the difficulty level of the game. We must not confuse difficulty (depends on team) with impossibility (depends on map). All campaigns in this guide were played/finalised on expert realism, so there is no impossibility.
Furthermore, from the Top 50 I selected the 15 best campaigns (the Top 15 list, with ambient screenshots), and put more suggestions of good and playable custom campaigns/maps.
This guide will be revised and updated constantly.

Installing a L4D2 Custom Campaign

The campaigns here are directed to GameMaps[www.gamemaps.com], but you can also look for them on Steam Workshop. To install via GameMaps, go to the campaign page, download the file and unzip it. Then copy the VPK to the addons folder of Left 4 Dead 2, which is normally located in the following path: C:\Program files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\addons.
Notes:

1. To facilitate the organization of the VPKs, create a shortcut on the desktop to the path: C:\Program files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\addons.
   
2. When installing a new version of a campaign/map, first delete the old version.
   
3. Keep only a few add-ons (campaigns/maps/mods) installed at the same time to avoid conflicts (you can also enable/disable them through the "Add-ons" option of the game's main menu).
   
4. If errors persist, remove all custom content except the campaign/map you will play.
   
5. In the case of a local server, if you are having consistency errors (map string errors), there must be differences between the server files and the files of a player. To correct such errors, the local host should open the console and write "sv_consistency 0" (without quotes). And, of course, make sure that all players have the same version of a campaign (as a general rule, allways use VPKs from the same source). For non-local servers, update your campaign to server's version (if necessary) and follow step 4 above.
   
6. Don't forget to read the section "Valve's Missing Content Fix " of this guide.

Valve's Missing Content Fix

"Valve's missing content fix" adds missing textures and models in some custom campaigns (listed in the download link below). These files came in with the first revision of Cold Stream, and the reason they have been removed is because Valve had to remove some content that was unsourced when they released Cold Stream. This happened on July 2nd 2013.
TIP: Always keep the file "missing content.vpk" in the addons folder of Left 4 Dead 2.

This guide was written by me, GothMinister.
It reflects my opinion after thousands of hours playing Left 4 Dead 2 (and hundreds of hours of Left 4 Dead 1 and the first custom campaigns like Dead City, Death Aboard, Heaven Can Wait, etc).
I love this game for many reasons, but mainly because of the quality and quantity of available custom campaigns, many of them even better than the official ones. Thus, I decided to create this list of the Top 50 as a reference for the best custom campaigns to play.
Suggestions and comments are welcome.

"I was born 87 years ago. For 65 years I've ruled as Tamriel's Emperor. But for all these years, I've never been the ruler of my own dreams. I have seen the gates of Oblivion, beyond which no waking eye may see. Behold, in darkness, a doom sweeps the land. This is the 27th of Last Seed, the year of Akatosh, 433. These are the closing days of the Third Era, and the final hours of my life."
