I think there are plenty of good spots for the SI to hit on the finale. Any corner that the SV want to hold out in has an area that the SI can either attack from behind them or from the sides simultaneously. Surviving both the Tanks is a bitch though, especially when it is bowling for SV with a luggage car.

Sorry to be a debbie downer. 2nd time played, blood harvest is still head and shoulders a much better campaign. This map is basically 3-4 levels of the same thing - going up and down stairs and moving through tight hallways. BOWRING.

Death Toll is the best l4d1 map. Period.

It looks like the finale scoring is based solely on distance and has nothing to do with actually starting the finale or anything like that. On the playthrough I did earlier today, we killed someone almost right off the bat, and the SVs got about 600ish points when they got to the gas truck because of it. So I would think that would be a very easy bug for them to fix, making the points timed like every other finale in the game. Looks like it's just something they forgot to change. Hence the reason it's a Beta.

So play with health bonus

But, yeah... sounds like a bug.

Dre, you are still homosexual.

I love the entire campaign except for the finale because I remember easy spots to defend from even without the one they blocked off. Hunter paradise is all I have to say. And rocket booms. I can't imagine all the charge/spit locations...

I've played DA a couple of times and every time the SV made it through with at least 1-3 guys. They fixed what was a potential problem(or we did by playing it differently) on Sv. Now it seems stacked on SV side if the team is smart enough to do what they should.
