Day Break (Campaign)

It's been a long road since I started this project shortly before Left 4 Dead 2 came out, but I'm happy to share with you my custom campaign: Day Break!

The survivors must escape San Francisco before the military bombs it! After their helicopter crashes on the roof of Day Break Inn & Suites, the survivors must make their way out of the city, across the Golden Gate bridge, and hopping on a boat to Alcatraz for rescue.

The survivors pass by many real-world places and landmarks on their way. While I have tried to be as true to the real San Francisco as possible, I have had to take some liberties with the area to make it suitable for Left 4 Dead 2 co-op and versus gameplay. That being said, I have tried to be as detailed and accurate as possible when it comes to landmarks (which include The Palace Of Fine Arts, Fort Point, The Golden Gate Bridge, The Lime Point Lighthouse, and Alcatraz Island) using all the resources available to me.

This is a five map campaign, designed and play-tested for co-op, versus, survival, and scavenge game modes, and with a scavenge-style finale with a few added quirks.

NOTE: Turn instructor hints on for guidance on what to do during the panic events & finale. Additionally, if you have a photosensitivity or aversion to dramatically changing colors used in the easter eggs, try subscribing to this optional addon: Easter Egg Visuals Remover.

Version 4 is now released, bringing new content from the Last Stand Update, new community content, and many changes based on your feedback over the years! Feel free to leave more feedback in the comments & discussions section, I make a point of reading each of your comments and replying when I can! Keeping your comments civil, descriptive, and constructive helps me the most in making this campaign the best that I can make it!

If you have any technical difficulties with the campaign, check out the Troubleshooting FAQ to see if there is a known solution to your problem.

This campaign is also available on Gamemaps.com: http://www.gamemaps.com/details/9221

Additionally, an older version of the campaign featured on the workshop before the May 2021 update can still be found here, and can be installed concurrently with version 4 without any incompatibility issues.

Although this is primarily a solo project and hobby since I started working on it around 2009, I do want to thank everyone who was supportive of the project from its very beginning and offered their advice and time to help the campaign along and QA test, as well as the people who contributed a few custom assets to the project. There are too many people to list here, but I've included below a short list of credits for any custom-made models & textures that I did not make myself. For the rest, thank you so much! You know who you are :)
