Fairfield Fallen

Thank you! A review + Some Hints Within

First of all, I managed to finish this campaign on Expert Single Player Mode in 5 Hours & 30 Minutes with 18 Restarts
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Secondly, I love how you linked the 3 maps, No Mercy, Crash Course and Death Toll together. Due to the fact I never tried The Last Stand before the official release of it as a campaign, I never knew it was there as a survival map and I even thought before asking a dear friend that Valve stole it from you guys XD I always said that Crash Course made sense for No Mercy & Death Toll as both came after each other with no clear sequence so you made it into a nice work! But the navigation issue on second chapter in sewers and by train tracks really ruined my experience plus I got no weapons to use except for my t1 machine-gun i found by accident before ending the first chapter as I realized i should check each and every room in all campaign that i pass by searching for supplies which was so cool, but what about bots?! I restarted 2nd chapters twice or 3 times because of the stupid  bot navigation as i was incapacitated by a hunter and none came to help me it was so bad! They also fell off that ladder up to the roof or close to roof to that safe room and I was totally alone to switch the alarm off was afraid and I startled a tank who was waiting in the elevator while I was up there XD watching It was cool to save time for me to get to bots when they spawn on spot in the room up there. The finale was restarted like twice as at one time upon opening the door upstairs to start the panic run event, I found a tank waiting which was so crazy! and I was supposed to finish it once as I got on the helicopter, but bots were lame enough to join and the tank waiting up there gave me a hug. That felt really bad to restart for such a reason of navigation or lame response towards Rescue and upon restarting, found it the regular way of calling the radio and fighting two waves of zombies + 2 tanks and I did it from first time and it was a really nice spot up there I didn't imagine it would effectively work that way after bots consumed their health kits for nonsense. Again, upon the arrival of helicopter, they didn't join me so I had to shoot them all down and fly away...

Restarted the first chapter of Crash course like twice or only 1 time because of bad luck and in a way I managed to take care of bots HP or just run towards safe rooms in each chapter saving any health kits for me in case I found any by accident or by pills. The finale there wasn't promising when i first glanced those gas cans out of safe room and wondered what I would do with all of them, but gladly saw that notification that I should just bring one gas can with me to the truck and considered it not much hard for me and also regretted using the only Health Kit I had by the start of that campaign, but found that it only needed to fill the car with gas can and we just moved. It was the easiest finale scenario for me.

Also, loved the changing weather or path ways whenever I died restarting the same chapter with new ways to go through and the foggy weather was so wow! It was worse than the regular one seen in any Valve's original campaign and I loved it as it's hard to see from where you are attacked it was a challenge XD On the other hand, I had to restart many many times in the chapter before train yard which was in sewers as i hardly could stay with my HP so it was black and white and I barely survived along that panic event with bots that got no big deal as i could get them again from spawning rooms. Found a health kit in a further spot by accident and it was a relief for me after many times dying in that chapter and this time I happily passed it. On the train yard chapter that ended with church panic event, I encountered a nasty issue and I knew that the scenario made the panic event to be started from the roof which i really liked but I found bots moving to the safe room so I followed them without starting any panic event and once I got to the safe room door I found it was closed while bots just teleported inside. But hordes got a different opinion to attack me from everywhere and I couldn't enter and when I tried to move back to that switch that I needed to start taking much time hordes spawned again and I was alone while bots were waiting inside and I already used that bile bomb I found by mistake When I thought I could enter the safe room like bots. Upon restarting, I encountered the regular scenario of that guy in the safe room and finished it easily. On the next chapter, I loved that most of zombies spawned right behind us when I started that panic event to run to safe room and on the finale, I just restarted it like twice because the first time I played it, I was supposed to run to boat and I knew for sure it would be so dangerous and I was like how can I get further after that army car XD and had to use my intuition to jump over it and over that fence and same went for other fences till I met that nasty tank coming between those trees in the added ladder spot I dodged it, but it ended up incapacitating me. I only finished this chapter on the regular scenario of fighting 2 hordes and 2 tanks till the boat came XD I wasn't meant to pass it the new modified way you put lol and zombies were coming from so far away which was so funny and gave us time to breathe. Those 2 tanks on that finale didn't touch any of us and I could burn both of them and moving with bots around the whole forest :) 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's say I managed to pass every chapter ahead from the first time till Finale that was nice and of course it is much easier than a finale in a standalone campaign called The Last Stand XD Yet, I was unlucky enough to get it screwed after the boomer I glanced from far away sneaked and vomited on us during the second tank attack which was supposed to come before the Rescue boat :/ so had to restart it and did it on second time. I still wonder how it's like on that The Last Stand survival map and how far it is extended or it ends by that fine car parking down that cliff :) 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hence, I see that 3 star rating is fair for me responding to such bad navigation issues in 2nd, 4th & final chapter of No Mercy, the state of being helpless starting from Death Toll Campaign till the middle of second chapter there where I was black and white and i wouldn't survive without a health kit, lack of weapons by the start of chapter 2 in No Mercy as I was the only one holding a gun and had to use M60 so that a bot can use the t1 machine- gun I dropped. Also, the issue of the church and the teleporting bots inside safe room was so bad as I wanted to try that alarm and how I would enter the safe room afterwards. ...... Thanks for such experience!
