FacePunch community member, EliteGuy, has kindly brought a rather unique Left 4 Dead custom campaign to our attention. Spanning 36 total maps, Cold Case, is a custom Left 4 Dead campaign pack like none other. Let's check out the campaign's synopsis, some factoids, and a few screenshots.
And now for the big "catch" to this news. Cold Case isn't yet released. Internal betas have been released to testers, with a new beta expected later this month. A number of beta build videos can be found on the official Cold Case campaign website.
This is certainly one campaign to keep an eye on!
Cold Case pits the survivors in yet another scenario. Their ride to safety has mysteriously crash landed on a remote island somewhere in the north western United States. After hours of waiting, they decide they are the only four survivors from the terrible crash, and they need to find help. However, quickly they realize there is something terribly wrong with this place. The survivors must traverse a large and expansive island. Their goal? To meet up with fellow survivors and get to the only known safe zone; a small military base located on the opposite shore of the island. Only there can they finally find the salvation they desperately are searching for…. or will they? During their journey, the survivors solve many strange mysteries that surround them. Why did their transport suddenly crash? Why are the infected on this island so quickly mutating? Who is The Mayor, and what role does he play on this island? Who is Agent Orange? It is up to them to find the clues and escape from the infested island.
