Agree with that, downloaded a few custom maps and played them with mates, some of them were Awesome

1 campaign you should definatly try out is "Death Aboard"
FPSBANANA > Maps > L4D > Campaign > Death Aboard

The other one was called "Powerplant", but i can't find a link to it =/

Dam it! is the best one I've had the pleasure of trying - it's only one map but it's full-on. I think the designer has managed to change the infected settings to make them a little harder to kill (as it should be)

Custom maps are great, now we wont have to play the same maps all the time
