      Приезжайте в Торонто, тут красиво!

      Одна из самых классных дополнительных кампаний.
      
      ПЛЮСЫ:
      
      + шесть разнообразных глав, каждая из которых отличается оригинальностью;
      + в каждой из глав много внимания к мелочам;
      + на протяжении всей игры, во всех главах, волны бегут не слишком часто, что позволяет как следует изучить карты;
      + во второй главе просто шикарный вид из окон башни!;
      + на третьей главе прикольный момент с баллоном и стеной, которая разрушается при его взрыве;
      + боты НЕ застревают на лестницах!!! (первый раз такое вижу, они нормально спускаются и поднимаются!);
      + крутая идея располагать полезные вещи в разрушаемых ящиках;
      + четвёртая глава с водным уровнем сделана особенно круто!;
      + на всех главах, за исключением пятой, всегда в достатке молотовых, бомб, таблеток;
      + на пятой главе крутой момент с летящим самолётом;
      + на всех главах отличные звуковые эффекты;
      + довольно лёгкая концовка, которую можно без особых проблем пройти даже с ботами.
      
      МИНУСЫ:
      
      - на первой главе, в самом начале нет аптек;
      - на ивенте зомби спаунятся за стеной, и не могут пройти к выжившим;
      - на второй главе, на одном из этажей есть комната с оружием, но боты в неё упорно не хотят заходить и брать его;
      - некоторые ивенты не совсем логичные (когда мы нажимаем кнопку, чтобы открыть ворота, то нет ни громкого шума, ни сигнализации, что тогда провоцирует волну?);
      - многие ивенты (но не все) слишком лёгкие, и на них бежит всего одна волна;
      - на четвёртой главе не хватает патронов на ивенте;
      - на пятой главе вообще не встречаются полезные вещи, ни патроны, ни аптеки, ни таблетки, ни бомбы. Половину этой главы я бегал с пистолетиком, так как быстро кончились патроны;
      - на танцполе не играет музыка в музыкальном автомате, просто тишина (я так понял, это в этом виноват НЕ автор карты, а кривое обновление самой игры);
      - в концовке на отсидке нет оружия, только патроны (для меня это минус, так как я люблю менять оружие по ситуации).
      
      ВЫВОД:
      
      Шикарнейшая во всех смыслах кампания, с несущественными недоработками, которые абсолютно не мешают игровому процессу. Проходя эту карту, я получил огромное удовольствие! На прохождение ушёл 1 час 12 минут.

      Pros:

      Lengthy
      My fav campaign
      Plenty of ammo and weapons
      Plenty of molotovs and pipe bombs
      Definently something different
      I love the campaign it's fun

      Cons:

      Besides the jukebox not playing the song anymore, there's nothing

      Conclusion:

      This is my favorite campaign of all time, most of my friends like it too.  The song doesn't play anymore because of an update steam did.

      Pros:

      -Interesting idea for a map.
      -A few custom things.
      -Believeable story line.
      -Pleantiful supplies.
      -Large areas to explore.
      -Skeletonssss!

      Cons:

      -A little bland
      -The jukebox didn't platy BYOB, I even rebuilt my audio cache and it still won't work.
      -A lot of map glitches which let you skip areas.
      -Wall writing is kind of stupid, it needs to look like someone wrote it, not that someone copy and pasted it from MSPaint.

      Conclusion:

      It was a little boring in my opinion, lacking detail and there were a few glitches. I was really disappointed (as well as everyone else here probably) that the jukebox doesn't work, so that should be high on the list of patches you should do. Also, as far as the advertising about the "offical review team", I'm friends with Austin (Kilplix)...and well...I hope you asked permission before putting his name in your map.

      Pros:

      fun
      enjoy that you can leave people (or in most cases incapped Bots) behind on all elevator events
      fun finale
      enjoyed the wall sprays (hate stairs damn pilot etc)
      liked how many items you gave in safe rooms
      liked the crates that had health packs though it was buggy since the packs would come out in the same spot no matter where the box they were in was broken...
      interesting idea on the boat-yard...dark but weirdly fun
      original ideas
      love that you can jump off the bridge at finale (300+feet) and survive if you hold jump haha awesome!!

      Cons:

      incomplete skybox
      spots where you can get stuck that lead to you skipping ahead
      fell out of the finale (PUT A BARRIER THERE!!!) lol
      bots are stupid
      some useless things like the non working elevator on first map
      wall writing is weird it looks all stretched out and can only be read up close
      not hard enough XD
      invisible fire screwed the bots (and us) everytime on the finale as well as other levels
      why is the CN tower under construction?
      there is a jesus spot on the safe room crescendo event if you stand behind the boxes in the corner the zombies just stand there motionless...
      the Jukebox didnt play BYOB (SERIOUS LET-DOWN!!!)

      Conclusion:

      all in all it was an amusing campaign. redundant and predictable in some points unfortunatly (tank spawning in same place everytime on first and 3rd map) some bugs and areas to both fall out of the map, and just willingly jump out make it amusing but tedious Has some original ideas and all in all is replayable at least. Love that he (or she?) gives you the option of leaving your team mates behind on elevator events since usually the bots are the ones down anyway haha
      I suppose I would reccommend it, its fun. not the best but certainly not the worst ^_^

      8.2

      Pros:

      (Conclusion may contain spoilers)
      -Finally a Canadian City :D
      -Lots of "surprise" special infected
      -CN Tower was awesome
      -Unique finale (conclusion)
      -Putting medkits in crates was a cool idea 

      Cons:

      -Custom sprays looked 3D and fake
      -Too many ladders for bots
      -Finale was too easy
      -Some textures were missing
      -Jukebox had no music

      Conclusion:

      To conclude, I was a fan of this campaign. Most of the cons weren't much to worry about, but I think you should have made the finale a bit harder, as I beat it on my first try on Expert. Besides the finale being easy, I thought it was very unique being on the border of Canada and the U.S. Although the one Tank before the finale seemed to be too easy to kill. When I was entering the finale and the tank came while I was on the catwalks, he never made it up to us, and I was able to kill him with pistols, lol. Since I'm Canadian myself, I loved killing infected in my own country. :D Good work on this campaign, just a few kinks to be worked out.

      Pros:

      Very varied environnement
      
      Very fun to play
      
      Nice ending
      
      CANADA FTW! (lol)

      Cons:

      Some areas are really confusing, and zombies spawn in places i cannot reach (sometimes)
      
      In the port level, i got pulled under a boat by a smoker... thats also an exemple of the other cons.

      Conclusion:

      This campaign is really fun, but sometimes very confusing. Im sure i would enjoy playing through it with my friends.
      
      In short, AWESOME CAMPAIGN!

      7.9

      Pros:

      Not to overwhelming, loved the Dance Club, lol wanted to stay and listen to the whole song. Good campaign and decent to get threw

      Cons:

      3 tanks just in the first level I thought was a bit much, avoiding witches was almost impossible. the second level was kinda weird because of the floor that seemed to be made of chicken wire and I- beams a little overdone when it came to the amount of stairs you included

      Conclusion:

      Not to bad, would have to give this campaign a high C to low B average

      6.6

      Pros:

      -it's not bad, contains some details in a map that can be overlooked through first run of map
      -the first map was well done, and then it felt that the author got bored halfway through.
      -finale was good, although confusing in where to go.

      Cons:

      -toronto is one of the most boring cities ever. (according to this map)
      -rough edges in tower
      -how do i tell that this map was in toronto and not some American city?
      -not very realistic or believable map
      -confusing to navigate at some parts, elevators and switches do weird stuff.

      Conclusion:

      This is a solid map that needs a tune-up to reach a 'great' status.

End of results.
