Freezing Point: Director's Cut (Campaign + Survival)

The Survivors Explore the Frozen Wilderness Again! (1.2)

---

Heading north seemed like a good idea to the Survivors, but the Minnesota winter has strained their supplies, and they can't stay holed up in their cabin forever. As they prepare for a supply run to the nearby Irons Family Mansion, little do they know its decrepit halls contain far more than they bargained for...

Crashes & FAQ

Freezing Point: Director's Cut only works with campaign, survival, and some mutations. Crashes shouldn't happen, but you may have compatibility issues with other mods.

If you're experiencing crashes or other problems, try disabling some of your add-ons and restarting Left 4 Dead 2. Playing on a local server is also recommended.

5-Map Campaign

From the creator of Time to Die, explore the frozen wilderness of Minnesota in this newly remastered, full-length campaign! Collect lockpicks, keycards and other progression items in any order you choose on this heavily randomized adventure.

Freezing Point: Director's Cut is an expanded version of the original 4-map campaign that features longer levels and one entirely new map, along with new weapons, new NPCs, and a whole lot more.

Check the Change Notes tab for full details on what's new in the director's cut!

Bonus Add-Ons

Francis has finally learned about sleeves thanks to the Official Bonus Add-On Pack! While these mods were not created specifically for the campaign, they are an officially supported inclusion that should not cause glitches or crashes. These skins will also work with other winter campaigns, too!

---

Randomized Replayability

Freezing Point: Director's Cut is about as long as an official campaign, but many events and items have been randomized to make each playthrough unique. Players are also able to complete objectives in any order they want for added replayability.

---

Custom Conversations

There's no awkward silence in this campaign — dozens of new conversations and quips were made by remixing survivor dialogue into natural-sounding exchanges. NPCs with new dialogue and custom subtitles are also included!

As a new feature of the director's cut, talking is now handled with vscripts, allowing for more dialogue and more variety at no performance cost.

Achievements and Easter Eggs

Freezing Point: Director's Cut features 10 map achievements for crafty players, many of which are related to finding easter eggs — and some achievements and easter eggs from the original campaign have been changed to something brand new. CLICK HERE or see the Discussions tab for a list of all 10 achievements.

And More!

This campaign also features custom graffiti, a playable arcade game, and magnanimous snowmen.

NEW BONUS! As of April 3, 2024, the user 17 has made a mod for Freezing Point: Director's Cut that adds a bunch of brand new CUSTOM INFECTED MODELS to the campaign. I had nothing to do with this, so it's not official or canon — but give it a try if you want a more immersive experience.

Special Thanks

This campaign was once again a solo effort,* but I owe a great deal to ChimiChamo and Shadowysn for their excellent scripting tutorials that shaped the dialogue and hint systems in this campaign.

I'd also like to thank my wife for being a constant source of emotional support. I know I said this director's cut would be finished in the winter, but in my defense, there's still a bit of snow on the ground outside my window!

The original Freezing Point was an experiment to teach myself how to do new things in Left 4 Dead. It was intentionally short and replayable, just like the Resident Evil games that inspired it. Unfortunately, it ended up being too short, and I was never happy with it — so last year I decided to take a break from my next campaign and turn a bunch of unused ideas into finished levels. This director's cut took 10 months (two-thirds as long as the original) and I'm finally satisfied.

If you'd like to help support me in these trying times, please consider dropping me a dollar on my PayPal.

• Certain custom assets borrowed and/or modified from Half-Life 2, Portal, Counter-Strike: Source, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and Day of Defeat: Source. As of version 1.1, Map 5's skybox texture is based on "Overcast Night Sky 2" from Xblah's Modding Assets. All other custom models, textures, and sounds created by me.

Steam Deck Info

Freezing Point: Director's Cut is fully playable on Steam Deck, tested by yours truly. At the highest graphics settings, there are occasional frame rate drops during intense action (45 FPS minimum). The custom HUD elements also get covered up by the new Deck-exclusive HUD for Left 4 Dead 2. Other than that, I had no issues.
