The first map you will play

[Deadly]

[Waterboy2go]

Cornfield because I love defense maps.

[Deadly]

Every map is a defense map :D

[Steve Cloud]

Hospital, because I've seen it played so much its just somehow grown on me.

exactly how i feel. it is almost like it is forcing me to play it first :D

does anyone have a specific order they will play or try to beat them in?

[Steve Cloud]

Hospital, Cornfield, Airport, Murky Countryside.

[Deadly]

wow, seriously, mind reader....

[Shrubberyjsc]

I think I'll play hospital by myself first, just to get used to whatever changed, then join some 411ers on a new map, maybe cornfield.

^.^

[Nemesis_vs_Leon]

Murky Countryside, Cornfield, Airport, Hospital for me.

I love Murky Countrysides.

[Deadly]

well that sucks, might not be the place to post this but i finally got an avatar, but it's a .gif and apparently they don't work on this site...

[BaldingSteve]

Im confused, isnt it a set order which begins at hospital? Nevertheless, Im going hospital.

[Goldkills]

Same

[Tyr]

Hospital. Who wants to get their arse ripped off by Zombies in unfamilliar surroundings?

[Puscifer]

HOSPITAL!

woooooooooooooooooo:D

[Eddy_of_the_dead]

Cornfield because it makes me feel like im in the movie: Childeren of the Corn.

[Dead Fish]

True.

I'm going to play the "Campaign" first too, before jumping into the pure multiplayer part.

[Halfeatendonkey]

Hospital,Airport,Cornfield,Countryside

But im not sure...

[Warheart]

Hospital for sure, since pretty much knowing it from start to end will make the first play easier.
Despite that I love hospitals in zombie games.

I think the campaign is: Hospital-Cornfield-Countryside-Airport

[Team3VIL]

Hospital I know it the most.

[arsis]

im pretty sure that its a campaign and you dont choose your first map, like any other games campaign mode. all the maps tie in together to form a long ass pathway. unless youre playing deathmatch online.

could be wrong.

[Puscifer]

No there are 4 campaigns u can choose to play, u dont play them all in a row from the beginning:S

its not 1 big campaign, is 4 seperate ones.

[Von Beck]

I picked hospital because like said before it's grown on me. however I'll play the first map on the list or that comes up (if a campaign) obviously

[DJTricky]

I think the different maps may either be different styles or different base difficulties, or they may all be the same type and just be environmental.

It doesn't matter though, i'd pick Hospital.

[Atari]

Hospital, hopefully with some people from the L4D community.

[Andrew]

im starting at a coop game only AI bosses from the start. but id like to start at hospital

[Tao Harasaki]

I didn't even know about the other two levels. when did they tell us? Is there footage on it?

[arsis]

I didn't even know about the other two levels.
shame on you tao harasaki


im sure my friends wont buy it immediately like i will, so whoever is up to play for THE FIRST TIME EVER with me is welcome. i dont want to play along side bots the first time

[awdrgy123]

i thought there were 4 campaigns, hosp, cornfield, country side, and airport, and each had 5 mini-maps per...

[Kenny]

I have an idea! In order! *Gasp*

[Atari]

You're right. Each scenario is made up of 5 acts....but are they connected in single player campaign?...

[Dead Fish]

This is a quote from the latest 1up preview posted on the front page:

Faliszek says that when playing the campaign mode, the first scenario (the one seen/played most often in press demonstrations) is about escaping the hospital via helicopter. This leads to a transition where the helicopter crashes and the survivors are placed in an outdoor scenario (most likely the hilly farmland area that's been seen but not played). Then the campaign transitions back to an interior scenario before concluding outdoors.

[Xerosnake90]

I voted hospital. We've seen it so much, I'll play it first. I don't care if we make it or not, if we all die and leave, I'm playing the next map. Haha

Snap nice find dude! Thanks!

My order will be Hospital-Cornfield-Countryside-Airport. It will most likely change when I get my hands on the game though, (especially if you have to play them in order, as 1up says.)
I will be playing them all alone before I go online though.

[Jakpower]

i picked hospital it seems interesting to me lol

[Zacirus]

Hospital, always wanted to waste a swarm of undead sick people, never knew why either. I think it might be the horror of those nightgowns.

[ragnarok]

I think I'll try to play hospital first. Its my personal favorite so far, but that might just be because I haven't seen a lot of the other maps.

Hm i had no idea about that, nice find is right! Guess the first map for most people will be hospital then :D

[Stubbs]

I will most likely play the Murky Countryside system link with 4 player survivors and AI Bosses with my friends. Or smash my head on my fireplace on accident while I'm opening it ;D

Then hospital with 411ers on live to see us beat it or even if we don't be at least good at it!

[SuperTrooper]

i dont give a shit im just going to kill as many guys as i can

[Xerosnake90]

Congrats to being the first idiot on the forum to say you'll do exactly what you aren't supposed to =D When you run out of ammo, stray off, and are viciously beaten to death by a mob of infected people, I shall laugh

[Stickgore]

Start off with the first and work my way up

[USS_Stud]

ROUGE ENCAMPMENT

...wait..

[Blackmist]

I'm playing Hospital first, then cornfield, then countryside, and then finally Airport. I wanna save the best for last.

[Omega Man]

Saving the best for last? Then you should play Cornfield last. :)

[Blackmist]

No way, man. Airport is going to be fucking CRAZY. I have a feeling that it's going to be the greatest campaign in the game, just because of the epicness of fighting zombies in an airport.

[Infest0125]

Airport, and for a good reason too... NOBODY knows what its like right now I think I've seen so much hospital right now its not as appealing as it was when it was a mystery... Airport though... Plus imagine the possibilities there!

[Infest0125]

Honestly, I think airport will not only be the best but also the last map in campaign... anybody else agree that it makes sense?

[Deadly]

The airport will be great, along with all the other maps. For the future, when adding an extra comment like that, use the edit button :D

I am most excited for the hospital, but the airport will most likely pull off the more intense and claustrophobic parts of the game more then the hospital will. (trapped in the terminal while infected flood in from all of the food stands and rest rooms, come on!)

Shitting your pants in the restroom beats shitting them in the open streets.
