Storyline:
Four survivors that were hiding from the main epidemic wave in a forest on outskirts of Borden city (read more graffiti in Crash Course Campaign ;) ) hear on the radio that US army is going to clean-up the town and its outskirts. To avoid crumbling survivors along with infected, evacuation centers were created in police stations, town hall, stadium and others. The closest one was a local high school where our heroes decide to go.
They start their journey from the north and watched all the horrors of a town drowned into an epidemic disaster. At the same time the army starts from the south and cleans up block by block. Upon finally arriving at the gates of the school they are left with a most disturbing scene of Zombie mayhem. Evacuation center has fallen and the only place where one could escape was haven. But still it was possible to hide there and wait for the rescue. So our heroes have to work their way through the abandoned city filled with hordes of swift-footed brain eaters to hear familiar - GET TO THE CHOPPER!!!, and save their asses from the zombie's outrage.

looks great
really hope this will be included in the game by the devs if it's balanced, the .vpk system is a total failure
-
seven maps SEVEN MAPS
But seriously, wow, 7 maps. Long campaign.
-
to MetaliheaD: If it's nostalgia - this is alright...
But just to keep things clear - we started this tread only to keep community together, to give community some updates. There is NO new releases for now, only 1 year old beta.
-
Looks pretty interesting, looking forward to a full release.
-
Cant wait because when its done it may get ported to G-Mod
-
I would play it, it looks pretty cool.
-
Lets hope this doesn't die. Don't try to add too much guys, keep it within reason guys, then you'll release it mabye. Truck thing looks awesome though.
-
Looks really neat. Looking forward to it.
-
Looks great. I hope to play it soon.
-
Hope OP doesn't get arrested for mapping his school :<
-
A new "Marauder" game mode
The what?
-
This looks really good.
-
Yea, we are working on new game mode... kind of...
It's hard to make something new and interesting, when you don't have any source code of the game, you know...
But i think it will be fun mode to play. You will get 20-30 min of intense gameplay on special map, which can be started both for 4 and 8 persons (4 infected vs 4 survivors).
We making this mode specialy for those people, who don't want play full campaign sometimes (cause it's pretty long ;) ), but wants to play quick and fun match.
-
IMO this and I Hate Mountains are probably the only 2 campaigns that looked/looks very promising while in development.
-
I hope that you release it to L4D2. Today it is easy to do using original survivors.
-
Cinema chairs - new model by our friend - GoLDeN.
Check it out:
Texture is still in WIP.
-
Nice, I liked Back to School alot, so I can't wait for this.
-
Nice campaign, cant wait. I hope in l4d2 version will be old survivors
-
We'll use L4D1 survivors, because campaign take place in fictional Borden City in Pennsylvania.
Where we get this name? You can find references to Borden High School in Crash Course campaign.
Check this:
-
Put in zombie kids and teens.
-
We need game code to make that. But valve haven't release it. Bad idea anyway.
P.S. You kinda violent person, you know... just kidding :D
-
Bad idea, bro. Bad idea.
-
I cant even put into words how amazing this is.
I promise to be patient, especially from what I've seen so far.
You sir, have won the INTERNET.
-
And another new model.
Prison bed (by romasm):
-
Prison bed in school? Oh well, I'm really excited for this!
-
Don't be so fast :)
Is it only hospital building in "No Mercy" campaign? - Not of course! "No Mercy" has some various interesting locations, our campaign too! We have: railroad station, supermarket, construction yard, water drains, police station (where the latest model will be placed) etc.
P.S.: But you right in one point - school will not be so usual ;)
-
Short message:
If you want to help our project - vote for us on ModDB! We will be very grateful :)
If we will enter into a top 100 of Upcoming mods it will be great!
-
Supermarket? Woah. Nice!
-
At the moment, project development has slowed down. We have exams Coming soon, we must study hard. But still some progress has been made.
This is the comparison of the old version of the third chapter (from old release - "three chapters" alfa version) with the new version, on which we are working now. As we mentioned earlier the first three chapters are now in the process of conversion, to achieve the required level of quality.
What you see in the screenshots - still WIP, so please do not judge strictly. Basically, we wanted to show the new color corrections, but you can also see other small details.
-
The flower pot's shadow is wrong on the 3rd pic in case you guys didn't see it yet.
Other than that, this looks like it's gonna be awesome.
-
Thanks! Didn't see that.Such small bugs is hard to find in process of development (especially when you have seven huge maps ;) ), but, when maps will be played by our beta testers, i think we will find almost all of them.
-
No problem, by the way are you using env_projectedtexture as the light source on the refrigerator?
-
No, it is regular lighting, generated by vrad + low light map scale on the floor.
-
First of all, Happy Holidays from Back To School team! Better late, than never!
At the moment, we are simultaneously working to improve the first three chapters, as well as on new chapters. Remaking of old chapters almost complete, and soon we will produce a closed beta test of the first half of the campaign.
But now, as a small gift - a new video and some screenshots.

especially that part with falling man
but that explosion and fire effects suck, I really want that scene to look amazing
and with more people
it really kicks ass
-
Can't wait for it.
-
im also a l4d mapper, and im truly impressed
also, can i get some of your models to work with?
-
To Nexosz: I'm definitely still going to work on the effect and sound of the explosion. I will try to make it more realistic. But adding more people does not work, because this will greatly increase the pings when playing online.
To The Awesome Guy: You (and everyone else) will be able to use all of our models only when campaign will be finally released (and only if you specify authors of the models).
