Hi all,
Only way to get the new maps I have spent a few months trying now is to get them via steam workshop.
Try subscribing to them all in one go here by clicking the subscribe to all link in Faust's workshop: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=164908628
Otherwise go visit here (http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse?appid=550&browsesort=trend) and then type in the search criteria below then click subscribe to each part or to a collection which is all the parts in one package steam will then treat the maps like a game and update when an update is release and steam will download them, once downloaded launch your game the sound might loop and the game might crash but a white bar will come up showing the games are being processed. Once this is done you are good to go. It takes a while but should work.)
Personally tested
- Back to School (get all parts)
- Urban Flight (get all parts)
- Detour Ahead (get all parts)
- Warcelona (get all parts)
- Suicide Blitz 2 (get all parts)
- *NEW* I Hate Mountains (get all parts)
- *NEW* Haunted forest http://media.steampowered.com/apps/l4d2/maps/hauntedforest_v3.vpk
- *NEW* Blood Tracks download from here: http://media.steampowered.com/apps/l4d2/maps/bloodtracks.vpk
Need Help testing
- Dead before dawn DC
- Fall in Death
- Downtown Dine
Thats it for now but will update with more as we get closer to the LAN.
Enjoy

Before you try these maps out you must ensure that all addon maps from old versions of the campaigns are deleted to prevent conflict.
The only two maps that should be in there are haunted forest and blood tracks as there are no steam workshop versions of these yet.
The standard location that needs to be cleaned out of old campaigns is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\addons
Leave the workshop folder alone.

DuVel and I had a go at Urban Flight. Really good, quite hard to be honest.
Nice, I'll get these downloaded.
Always up for a game of L4D :)
I can't find Blood Tracks in the workshop.
You didn't add the Ravenholm one though.
I can't find Blood Tracks either...
It's worth mentioning that this is about 3GB worth of maps in total - so leave plenty of time to download :)
We will be hosting this files on the LAN sever or on a usb at the LAN

I have edited the original post with the links for the ones not on steam workshop! Added a couple of others too!
Enjoy!
