Pros:
---- In general ---- + Fantastic Level design. + Very detailed areas. + Good use of lighting. + AI Navigation was really reliable. + Mechanisms made mates say 'I'm ready' etc. + Overall a very good challenge. + Finale outpost and Task was a change.
Cons:
---- Map 4 ---- - AI got stuck behind the door, so I had to personally shove them pass the door. ---- Finale ---- - AI keeps saying 'I am ready' all the time. - AI runs to the rescue vehicle but nothing happens. ---- In general ---- - Few AI problems. - Missing some more ammo in map 3.
Conclusion:
Well great! I really enjoyed playing your campaign, because there's much fun included. Recommenable, truely.

Pros:
Good maps great ideas nice horde points
Cons:
some things could have been done better janitor lift sewer bridge finale needs work the ladder to the finale was glitchy
Conclusion:
I really enjoyed the maps but a few points left me to want them a little more polished. The Finale really needed to be fleshed out more.

Pros:
Cool Textures intersting nice maps fun ideas for some maps (acid)
Cons:
didnt make sense finale was ridiculous bots are dumb (but thats obvious, they always are) rescue vehicle appeared out of nowhere (we were standing right where it should have come from) lack of direction at finale no point to the generator at finale ass-hole witch spawn on Bridge Janitor Lift Hordes last too long
Conclusion:
well, what can I say. Some of the maps were cool. I liked the custom Textures, bridge was awesome, so was the acid. That said there is a lot that need to be improved. Finale especially. Also the Panic events were waaaayyyy too long. we went from full ammo to empty. The Janitor lift needs to be fixed since the bots dont know how to use it, and the rescue vehicle just craps you out and drives away. As of right now I wouldnt reccommend this map. It needs a lot of work. It was fun, but I dont plan on playing it again anytime soon before you fix a lot of things.

Pros:
-Numerous surroundings keep the campaign fresh throughout -Tank, ammo, health, etc. placements were well thought out and helped the experience -Overall detail of the maps are simply outstanding! Valve is jealous! -Maps were challenging and long, but are certainly possible to beat on hard difficulties.
Cons:
-Sometimes the bots seemed to not know where to go. AT one point they couldn't proceed through the map without spawning. -Evac vehicle doesn't like the bots either :( -Lack of direction in the finale made figuring out what to do difficult -Missing textures and error signs (?)
Conclusion:
I give you a 95 despite these cons simply for the OUTSTANDING vivid detail and BRILLIANT charting of the maps! Every map is fun and a joy to play, and they all provide a perfect balance of difficulty. The bots are a slight problem. At the end of the 4th level my bots refused to enter a cabin used to get to the safe room. After about 5 minutes of turning a blind eye they finally spawned inside. Also, I'm not sure if this is because I installed custom content or it's your maps, but I am missing textures and see ERROR objects all over the final level. PLEASE, if anyone is looking for a FUN and AWESOME campaign, CLICK DOWNLOAD NOW.

ImpossiblePosted this review
Pros:
-Good style and atmosphere -Good detail -Some very creative panic event/safe room designs -Transition between environments, urban to rural -The finale was really fun
Cons:
-Nothing really unique -Forgettable atmosphere -Finale map a tad too long -Despite good effort at some parts, other parts seem really bland.
Conclusion:
The novelty value is difficult to explain, it almost feels like just-another-campaign, but it still stands up to the quality and even throws in some great ideas, so it's a pity that even though the atmosphere is great, it somehow fails to stand out. One is sure to have fun and will definitely praise the campaign, but after not playing it for quite a time, i'd doubt anyone would instantly recognize the campaign again. I'd say you can fix this though, by giving the campaign a graphical overhaul and a unique color scheme. Believe me, that will add to the novelty value a lot!

Pros:
Nice scenery Good Atmosphere Stunning Visuals Challenging Good spread on ammo and health
Cons:
Almost all of the cons will be related to the AI. AI paths FAILED, it took them until i had 2 HP left to realize there was a hunter on me, and they were right in front of me!!!! Bots wouldn't get into the escape vehicle, causing me to wait for them to all either die or be incapacitated. Lots of areas to get stuck in. Lots of panic events, with LOTS of zombies each time. Took forever to e able to call the rescue team.
Conclusion:
Overall, I liked this map, it was fun, challenging, but I'm guessing it isn't made for bots. I'll have to play it with my friends sometime and see. Everything except the AI and some minor problems was fine, and in some cases, amazing! I loved the overpass, it looked really cool. The AI is all that's holding you down from an 80-85 in my books. Lots of good things in this map, and a couple of things to be worked on. Overall, I enjoyed it, all though the beginning maps were kinda tedious to me. Kudos, and keep on working! Practice, practice, practice!

Pros:
Very detailed series of maps Excellent overview in design to ensure challenge and playability Good attempt to create something different for the finale - which after some frustration I very much enjoyed
Cons:
Occasionally a bit linear The finale: Firstly not easy to understand - but perhaps that makes it more of a challenge and the instruction are in the notes. Secondly where the bots would not enter the escape vehicle with me and of course died.
Conclusion:
These are some of my favourite maps for L4D and that includes Valve originals. Very enjoyable and thanks to Valar and others for allowing us to play these. You know I would pay for maps as good as these. Maybe the modding community need to look for a way of collecting micro payments?
