Played through the Hard Rain campaign last night in single-player. Good lord, the sugar mill.
The floor is made of Witches
Here's the setup, for those unfamiliar with the game: the fishing boat Lagniappe, en-route to NOLA with the survivors on board, stops in Ducatel, Mississippi to scavenge fuel. Unfortunately, all of the riverside filling stations are dry, forcing the players deeper inland as a hurricane builds. All through the campaign, the storm grows in intensity, until finally the Survivors find themselves fighting their way back to the boat through driving rain, gale-force winds, and zero visibility. The rain itself is loud enough to drown out the game's built-in voice chat, and the thunder peals startle the horde of zombies standing between the cast and rescue.
The midpoint for the storyline - both on the journey out and the return to the boat - is the aforementioned sugar mill. Both safehouse graffiti and signs on the mill itself set up the fact that it's full of Witch-type special infected, and they don't lie. On Expert difficulty, that one section of the campaign alone can contain 15-20 Witches.
