This is from a post i made on L4DMODS.COM and thought i'd copy it here also for those who don't visit that forum and play L4D.

Hi Everybody,

This is the first teaser of a full 3 modes Campaign in progress called Dead Echo.

My Steam group for play testing is free to join, so here are some teaser screens of the campaign and hope to see you online soon.

I will be keeping a close touch and update media and info as they become available.
cheers,
val

Man that's some serious production there. Kickass screenshots. Love the little hobbit-hole door.

I don't know how you have the patience to fuck around with those thousands of pipes in there either, that would drive me nuts

Your best work to date by far. It's really nice to see how far you have progressed since you started this project. You really have done a good job with lighting and have basically made the map very believable and realistic because of it. From the screens, A+ dude.

WOW GREAT JOB.

PS: Today I've tried L4D2 Demo, it's amazing. It pwns L4D. Plenty of new special infected, plus there are some SWAT policemen between regular infected enemies, it takes a lot of ammo or melee hits to take them down.

We've had a few pre-public runs last night and are planning on doing a few more before releasing to the public a first beta.
In the meantime, my good friend, SG.Heartless made a cool vid of the first map and posted it on YouTube. Check it out .. .
