A broken start with a nice finish

CLASS: MG
.
This campaign had a real turn around at one point, so im going to grade it separately, one section for the first four maps, one section for the last two maps.
A lot of the issues are continuous throughout the campaign, so I cannot really name anything in specific. Basically every 10 steps you see the same issues repeat. From floating props to massive holes in geometry or just outright mismatched edges.
.
First Four Maps:
.
The first four maps had serious design flaws, broken and easily abused nav mesh to the point where I could literally play "the floor is lava" but with zombies.
.
Map 1 had an insufferable amount of witches which made expert mode a little more challenging.
.
A massive lack of invisible walls as boundaries on the playable area made it very easy to get outside to the edge of the map. On pretty much all four maps.
.
Lack of directions on map 1 and a pointless underground tunnel made navigation on an otherwise short map a pain in the ass.
.
Floating props, floating geometry, disconnected geometry, massive holes, missing textures, copy/paste houses, forcefully colored cars (use skins instead, or change the color of cars compatible with color changes)
.
Slow train event
.
No L4D2 Items AT ALL.
.
Long, winding, empty maps with lack of supplies and seemingly increased amounts of witches and tanks made expert a pain in the ass.
.
Maps are too dark, theres a good dark and a bad dark, this was a bad dark especially on map 1... map 2, 3, and 4 werent as bad.
.
.
.
.
Last Two Maps:
.
Terrible transition between map 4 and 5.
.
Spawn underground on map 5.
.
Several eyesores, some guns standing up at weird angles, lack of player leading.
.
Visually pleasing compared to the first four maps, the last two dont suffer from the same issues the first four suffered from.
.
Levels are more brief, which is nice.
.
Levels arent as empty as the first four.
.
Exploreable areas with items.
.
L4D2 Items.
.
Good finale, brief, not too difficult.
.
Still a few nav exploits possible, a few "god areas" and a few places where getting out of the map is possible.
.
Fun random death hole at the top of the stairs of the finale map, made for some entertainment.
.
.
.
.
Overall the last two maps were this campaign's only redeeming quality, and allowed the experience to end on a less than sour note. Rated 2/5, not the worst ive played, but the first four maps need a serious overhaul because there were glaring issues and I swear the person I was playing with died a little inside at the sight of some of them.

If you put some work into refining the first four maps to coherently match the last two maps, then your campaign would be all the better for it.
