No Parking

No Parking is a single-map Custom Campaign set somewhere between Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 just before the events of The Passing. The map also placed second in the "Custom Boss contest" on the L4Dmaps.com.

The Survivors find themselves battling through an underground car park, upon meeting Whitaker, where we see he has been busy since meeting the Left 4 Dead 2 Survivors and has built himself a custom armored van equipped with a very nasty chainsaw among other unpleasant methods to dispose of the Infected.

Players quickly realize that the weapons pile, which the players innevitably take, belongs to Whitaker, who is not impressed and so begins the final showdown between Bill, Zoey, Francis, Louis, and Whitaker.

Walkthrough
The intro cuscene begins with a panning shot of one of the lots, showing the name of the map and its creator, which then smash cuts to the original Left 4 Dead survivors in an elevator. Zoey asks if one day everything will return to normal, with Bill replying, "I don't think so." As the elevator door opens, the typical supplies can be found nearby, like First Aid kits, pistols and melee weapons. There is also usually a defbrillator nearby. Some Tier 1 weaponry can also be found among the cars, but it's usually only a Submachine Gun. On the opposite end of the lot, there is a large barricade constructed from crates, fences, and burning cars. The only way through is to shoot a special Scavenge gas can, where its gasoline will ignite the car fire, causing an explosion, clearing the way to the next lot. An interesting thing to note is that the Survivors seem to take no damage from the explosion or fire. Another thing to take advantage of is Infected cannot reach you when the blockade is still up, so if a Special Infected is behind the barricade, such as a Witch, you can attack and kill her before destroying the barricade without much worry.

Once inside the second lot, players can find some interesting things, such as fake movie posters starring the various Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 survivors, as well as graffiti on the walls reminiscent of the Half Life series. There are also several zombie corpses places throughout, which can be looted to get items such as grenades, Pills, or Adrenaline. There is also a ambulance with other healing items inside. If one were to search around enough, there appears to be no way to advance, as all the other exits are blocked off by gates, which cannot be opened. The only way to advance is to follow a help message saying to have a look inside a makeshift hideout in the center of the lot, which containts various Tier 2 weaponry, medpacks, pills, and oddly Cola, however it cannot be picked up. There is also graffiti inside saying "LOOTERS WILL BE SHOT". Once all 4 (or remaining) survivors are inside the hideout, a cutscene plays, without pausing the gameplay itself.

The cutscene begins with a large armored van entering in from another lot, (ironically with the gate still being closed), stopping relatively close to survivors, revealing that the driver is in fact Whitaker, who seems to have gone a bit crazy after the events of Dead Center. Whitaker introduces himself as the gun shop owner, and quickly claims the survivors to be looters, as the weapon stash is actually his, and is not happy with his weaponry being stolen by the survivors. Francis then claims he has an idea, which mainly includes stealing the van from Whitaker, where Bill soon tells Francis to shut up. Whitaker then challenges Francis to try, claiming "I own a lot of guns, son." Francis then tells Whitaker to pull his head out his ass, after which, Whitaker continues driving, and throws a suitcase bomb into the hideout, warning the survivors to get their hands off his store. Zoey then claims, "There goes the easy way...", and the fight begins.

As the fight begins between the Survivors and the once-sane gun shop owner, it is a good thing to know what exactly Whitaker is capable of. Whitaker mainly drives around the lot in his van and attacks by firing his M16 Assault Rifle in his windshield, cutting the survivors with his Chainsaw and barbed wire on either side of his vehicle, running them over with the van itself, tossing out suitcase bombs, and occasionally honking his horn to attract a horde. BE WARNED: If playing with bots, they are stupid enough to where they won't fight back against Whitaker, and can also get stuck under his van and become incapacitated and die.

When the fight begins, a help message pops up informing the survivors to take out Whitaker's armor, which is comprised of road signs placed along the front of the van. There are four signs that must be destroyed before the fight can advance. The signs do take quite a bit of damage, so be sure to focus on taking them quickly so that Whitaker doesn't do a large amount of damage. Caution must be taken care of, as Whitaker can fire at you, so hiding behind cars is a viable option when badly damaged. Once all 4 pieces of Whitaker's sign armor are gone, another help message pops up quoting, "Gas pipes overhead...". The survivors must damage the nearby pipes enough before continuing. A melee weapon is suggested to break the pipes quickly. The survivors must then open up three valves placed on support pillars around the lot, which must be interacted with for several seconds each. Once all three valves are open, the survivors are instructed to "Light Whitaker up...", and must shoot a gas can on the roof of the van, which causes a fire. Whitaker then drives around for an random amount of time before crashing his van into a pillar right next to an ammo pile, coughing from the fire's smoke. Another thing to note is that the coughing noise Whitaker makes is actually sound files of Coach and Ellis coughing. BE WARNED, Whitaker CAN and WILL still fire at you, even from his crashed state. Also, if a survivor is near the pillar where Whitaker crashes, they can get stuck, and can only be freed if they die, and are brought back to life with a defibrillator.
