Survival Maps#

One of the most notable differences here is the presence of two survival maps completely missing from any other build of the game, Freighter and Highrise. Years later, both survival levels were eventually unearthed and released to the community alongside the scrapped Dam It campaign.

Unused Graphics#

Crash Course Icons#

Although these are used in the game as of present, Left 4 Dead 2 did not originally release with all the campaigns from the first game - instead, they were released periodically over the length of a few years. While Crash Course released alongside the Cold Stream DLC in November 2011, the icons for the level also exist in the DLC for The Passing which released in April 2010. The presence of these icons there may infer that Crash Course was meant to be ported to Left 4 Dead over a year earlier, but interestingly, the first Left 4 Dead maps did not actually get ported until much later that year in October.
