Early Days

It's day 3 of the outbreak, hospitals across the city broke into chaos and police is struggling to contain the infection. Survivors have to make their way across the city in search of an evacuation center that hasn't been overrun yet.

Gameplay

This campaign is pretty long, you can expect about 45-60 minutes of gameplay, depending on how much you explore. There's plenty of items, but you have to look for them.

There are also quite a few gauntlets in this campaign, so be ready for that.

Why you can crash if you have too many mods

Left 4 Dead 2 has a ~3 GB RAM usage ceiling, if you get over that your game will crash. Your addons are loaded into memory as you play and if you have too many, you risk running out of available memory.

I have about 70 mods and I never crash, but it's best to avoid mods with high resolution textures, or anything that creates entities.
