This is an underground bunker, two bedrooms, bath, kitchen, living area. This is essentially the saferoom area. Outside you'll progress through mechanical areas and reach the zombie-infested surface. From there it's still a WIP as far as ideas go.

That looks good Con, continue, your ideas are fun so far.
Here's what I say: Make it a trek from the substation for a dam further upstream, through a series of large pipes, into the dried-up gullies of the riverbed, into the dam, and up to the top for the rescue via boat.
Ch. 1: The Substation
Ch. 2: The Pipes
Ch. 3: The Riverbed
Ch. 4: The Turbines
Ch. 5: Lakeside Finale
Just my quick idea that I got when you said 'mechanical areas' and I tried to think of what would make sense and hasn't been done yet.
Got any crescendo event ideas? I know they're in there somewhere O_O
For one, I'll have the blast door creak loudly when opening, so you get a horde coming from outside. Also, I need an excuse to have zombies in the mechanical areas of the bunker though. I only really want this part of the map that you see here to be the saferoom.

Looking good so far. I'm not that good with gameplay so I'll leave that to you or someone else.
Oh, boy, a L4d map! I've been waiting to see one-a these.
Sever's chapter thing is an important thing to think about, if you're going to do it that way. Either way, one thing that somewhat bugged me is that there were no objectives other than the obvious: gtfo of zombieland. Between the start and the very end, it seemed like you were aimlessly running from place to place, with no significant goal for a single chapter. A good way to get ideas for chapters/stuff in the middle is to think of the obvious objective, then think of things they'd have to do before being able to get to that finale. This, I think, would have a great potential for a crescendo if one of the objectives ended up attracting a lot of zombies, or something like that. It also gives players something new to have in L4D other than just simply "run!"
As for the reason that the zombies are in mechanical places... well, perhaps in a previous objective (see above if you TL;DR'd it), something was done to gain the zombies' attention, taking them to your location.
Re: My L4D Map
Like always conscars, Well Done!
Did they release the L4D sdk yet?
No, but it's possible to enter in entity information yourself to get it working.
give me a few hours, a video and some vaseline.
i'm tired as fuck right now, but if you can show me some of your ideas and sketch layouts i could give a hand.
