Unfinished Left 4 Dead Campaign Level Released for Free

"Dam It."

29 Comments

There's no Left 4 Dead 3 in sight, but fans of the zombie shooter franchise can now play something new for the series. As PC Gamer reports, developer Turtle Rock has released the unfinished Left 4 Dead campaign, "Dam It," for free for people who own the game. In the Turtle Rock forums, co-founder Chris Ashton, posted a link to the third-party source where you can download the campaign right now.

This campaign was never finished. It includes a "couple" Survival maps that never came out. Overall, it "stitches together" the game's Dead Air and Blood Harvest campaigns.

No Caption Provided

You can download the campaign here--as always be careful when downloading anything from the internet. There are two ways to do that:

  • Automatic Install: unzip .vpk file and double click to launch.
  • Manual Install: unzip .vpk file and copy to Left 4 Dead 'addons' folder.

There are a handful of known issues to be aware of as well.

Known Issues:

  • Fire, smoke and explosions do not trigger panic events in the hangars.
  • Zombies do not crawl all the time in the orchard.
  • Farm house mob does not spawn in the far side of the woods.
  • Covered bridge does not collapse with explosions.
  • Burned forest area is missing wandering fires.

Turtle Rock's latest game is Evolve, which the studio stopped working on last month. The game's servers are staying online, but are now operated by 2K Games, whose parent company--Take-Two--owns the Evolve franchise.

So will the Xbox 360 version be updated as well? Actually on second thought I doubt it as that would actually cost them money because Microsoft actually charge devs to update their games so it probably wouldn't be worth it.

Man I miss L4D. Still love playing it here and there but the community is extremely small and the majority of players left seem as toxic as the LoL and Dota community. F you Valve for not being able to utilize the number 3 for any of your games.

Has the time for Left 4 Dead 3 passed?

Jeez I remember when everyone was up in arms about L4D2 being made so close after the first one, calling it a mod and all that. Now here we are with no new game for seven years.

You know they could have kept this in the dark and just used this stuff for L4D 3 just by editing some of the stuff.

No L4D 3 is a real shame, been waiting on this forever, but if anyone that enjoys this kinda game play wishes to play something similar but up to date of course, should try what I call the Perfect Clone: Warhammer Vermintide.

@orang88: Vermintide is a lot of fun. I didn't feel it had the same spark as L4D but a pretty decent game overall. Haven't touched it in a while and have been thinking about going back to check out some of the improvements and additions they've made.

It's kind of cringe worthy how many projects/side projects are put aside with the hope of releasing it as paid content. And then we see that stuff coming out like 10 years later and people ask why?

@REDShadowG: Or maybe they didn't have time to complete it before the deadline, hence the unfinished nature of the thing. I could mention that L4D and L4D2 DLC was free on PC the entire time anyhow, but that would wreck your entire post.

@REDShadowG: It doesn't matter why gets left unfinished or why, all that matters is that what they're actually selling is worth what you're actually paying.

I kinda miss Left 4 Dead. I haven't played it in ages, and seeing screenshots from those maps, I realise how infinitely replayable they were.
