Community Maps?
As has been reported previously - Valve have been featuring community maps to add to the L4D experience.
It strikes me - is there merit to applying the same to our server as they announce them? I'm assuming that they'll be of good quality as Valve have basically endorsed them and it wouldn't be a bind to put a new one on the server every now and then.
Thoughts please?

A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Sounds good, the original ingame maps are great but undoubtedly getting a little stale (was great to revisit The Passing recently though).
This weeks community campaign is based on City17 from Half Life 2. I'm downloading it onto the server as I type, grab it here:

4 v 4 on maps we don't know is awesome fun.

That City17 one looks kinda funky. Any L4D original versions available?

No idea Chez 
Anyway, these maps needs the L4D2 Addon support files installed, so get it done folks.
You'll find them in Steam's "Library", then "tools" section.
City17 maps have been great fun. Tough, but great fun.

I'd like to try the 2 Evil Eyes campaign next.

I honestly thought the City17 campaign was very poor.
The author had just copy + pasted Valves maps from various points in Half-Life 2's single player and then added L4D2 specific entities. (Ladders for infected etc)
Didn't look like any play-testing had been done at all. Why such a lazy project is getting so much attention is beyond me.

Completely disagree with you Pete, I thought City17 was very well done.
Yes, it was a rip of HL2's maps, (that was the whole point, familiar settings) but some very good parts (the walkways spring to mind).
It's beautifully tough and the parts used lend themselves nicely to the L4D world (the finale in HL2:EP1's train depot is nice).
It's gaining a lot of attention for a reason.
