Great map for the puzzle part, a bit clumsy for the bot navigations
Played this with a friend and two bots, I like the puzzle mechanics where you have to explode and burn stuff to make the door open. I don't think it's playable in singleplayer though, just make sure to have a good friend with good communication and you're good to go. Great map.

Review
Pretty descent campaign. I quite like the concept however, 3 of the puzzles are impossible to complete on single player, had to use no clip. Other than that I quite liked it. Great map design. Great concept. No glitches/bugs. No navmesh issues. Nice work.

i did all on single player, dude.....

Idea is good, execution isn't
The idea behind merging Portal and Left 4 Dead is good, but the execution here isn't good. The bot navigation is pretty bad, and the campaign is very difficult in singleplayer. Graphically, it's quite "meh"; environments blend into one-another.

Pros:
Cool portal theme Interesting puzzles Creative
Cons:
Pretty boring visuals, even if Portal-esque features were pretty cool for any Portal fans. Repetitive puzzles No voice acting/story The gas cans you need to weigh down the button can roll off easily. See below problem... I ended up dying in single player mode because my AI wouldn't get inside the doorway.The infected made the gas can roll off and I had to step on the button on the other side of the door in order to keep the door open so that they'd follow me, but an armored infected kept them there for ages. I decided to climb the ladder to help kill the armored infected while staying behind the door so I could open it in case they accidentally ignited the can, but a jockey grabbed me and incapacitated me. Despite Ellis being on the same side of the door I was, none of them came to my aid, even after the armored infected died. I inevitably died. That's partly my fault, but it would've helped if the AI was smart enough to figure out that they can unlock the door once I've already reached the other side so that they could help you if you're downed and they're trapped. After I restarted and completed that section, I got to the bigger puzzle. Where I died again. I couldn't find the route to the safe room even though I could see the glow of the door. I assumed you entered the twin doors and go through that way, but the doors wouldn't open for me. Ellis and Coach, somehow, melded through the wall and entered the safe room, leaving Rochelle and I to die since I accidentally startled the witch and she had a jockey on her. Since Ellis and Coach were already in the safe room, I guess their AI wouldn't let them leave to help.
Conclusion:
If you're a Portal fan, or even if you like puzzles, this is a pretty decent campaign. It's creative and a fun little puzzle campaign. It won't keep you entertained for too long, however, and the AI have pretty bad issues that could leave you dead numerous times. It would've been really cool to have some sort of story and voice acting attached to this. You could probably make all sorts of in-jokes and references. Heck, maybe even try to emulate GLaDOS's voice.

Pros:
- Creative - Original - Like portal - Randomized gas can placings - 'Tests' worked well with no glitches - Maze, having to look for the items
Cons:
- Same puzzles repeated - Same environment repeated - No dialogue - Bot navigation - Became boring
Conclusion:
Good idea but it could be improved, maybe by changing the scenery and making different tests instead of repeating the old ones.

Pros:
Loved the puzzle aspect. Finale was good Had fun playing it. Great with 2 humans and 2 bots..
Cons:
Too short. Wanted more levels, actually! ha.
Conclusion:
Over all, pretty fun map. I do enjoy these puzzle maps and everything was laid out correctly and didn't notice any glitches. Even though we were able to get through some traps, the bots just kept up with us. I only wished this map had 2 more levels, but all in all, definitely fun and definitely worth playing again. Up there with questionable ethics. nicely done!

Pros:
-Puzzles were cool, but...* -I did like the finale. -Good ideas.
Cons:
-*I did get tired of the puzzles by the second chapter.Too similar to each other. -Did get boring at times. -When playing with bots, they would sometimes just teleport to the safe room, leaving me to defend myself as I franticly try to finish each puzzle. I can't recall the amount of times a charger would come out of nowhere and pound me to death as they stood in the safe room and did nothing.
Conclusion:
A good idea, but could have been executed better with some puzzle changes. I would like to see a remake of this with better textures and harder puzzles.

Pros:
Fun Creative Follows many Portal maps to a T
Cons:
Hell if your playing with bots No explanation for a lot of the parts (walked around for 20 minutes trying to figure out what to do at the chute part) Again, Hell with bots ( lower the bridge so you die when they pick up the propane tank) Was hopin for some GLaDOS custom sounds.
Conclusion:
It's a pretty fun campaign if there's no bots and you don't mind the hordes.

Pros:
Charm of Portal test chambers Good Ideas (Ie, finding fireworks, ect. Placing them on Button) Enough Weapons Enough Ammo
Cons:
Sometimes hard to find things Too dark (Some points) Anti-Climatic Ending (No cake!!!??) Got Boring (End)
Conclusion:
I liked this map, It was reminicant of Portal Test Chambers. But, most of all - Portal IS a great game, and this is a good map. Sometimes Its hard doing a rating. But, I think alot of work has gone in to this, therefore, this map gets 67/100.

Pros:
-Good Amount of Supplies -Fun puzzles which made this campaign distinct from others -Fun use of items to open doors -Nice maze that kept you wondering...which is the point guys -Difficulty of puzzle built up well -*SPOILER-ISH* Liked how u actually used an elevator at the end
Cons:
-Horde at the end was very annoying and the music that comes with the horde looped for like 12 minutes...a little repetitive -In the Room where u had to lower the bridge there was an invisible table... -Overall the textures were dull and very repetitive
Conclusion:
While this was a very fun campaign and the puzzle element really made it unique i felt it just did not hold up to some of the better looking and more professional looking campaigns

Pros:
-Puzzle Elements a fair departure from common gameplay. -No supply shortages. They were plentiful. -Presence of Laser Sight installers. -Presence of Uncommon Infected (Riot). -Puzzles were very creative. -A very elaborate introduction sequence. -No notable bot issues (other than the bridge).
Cons:
-VERY easy to get lost in (how 'bout putting in some signs?). -Riot Infected don't really fit into the environment all that well (maybe Hazmat Infected would work better). -The bridge over...yellow water (ugh) gave me lots of problems in single player, as the Bots tend to knock over the object off the button, killing them instantly. -I noticed an alarming lack of closets. You really should put lots in. -There should be a notice for the finale. -Lack of dialogue. -There may be too many Ammo Packs. You might want to replace them with other weapons to vary things up a bit. -Item placements (especially Weapon placements) don't change. -Textures are a bit dull. -Necessary items spawn instantly; one could shoot a Gas Can and it would create a perpetual fire!
Conclusion:
An original Campaign (save for the Portal inspiration). Keep working on this campaign to make it better! For the object and button puzzles, perhaps you could use items such as Gnome Chompski or some Cola.

RedeadxPosted this review
Pros:
-Custom puzzles and mazes -Custom made Portal signs, and an overall Portal feel (The whole point)
Cons:
-That bridge over goo... clipping a ton, and special spawned at the bottom and took our friends down via smoker and such. -Puzzles before the finale were a bit much, possibly making the finale it's own dealie woulda been cooler in my mind. Puzzles were fun, but having to re-do them if you died on the finale.
Conclusion:
Worth a download if you like puzzles, thought, and/or Portal. Good fun

Pros:
Very unique. Like the puzzles, the mazes. Makes the game require some thought and teamwork.
Cons:
Created a never ending fire with the fireworks. Since you can pick them up and another spawns immediately, was able to make quite the stack of fireworks - not to mention the propane tanks. The bridge over the yellow goo drops down unexpectedly if someone goes anywhere near the button. I imagine this is true if a special infected hits it as well since our 4th player managed to die crossing after we'd all already crossed. The beginning movie shows all these vents... and then there's no vents used anywhere in the map. Seems like that might have been a waste. Once you've played through, there's not really a reason to play again. The finale wasn't immediately recognized as the finale. Only when we couldn't find the door to exit and the tank and beat us up pretty good did we realize that this was a finale. - Speaking of the finale - love the rescue vehicle!
Conclusion:
I love unique maps that are different from the norm. Portal was/is a very popular game and thus, I'd recommend this map to everyone to play at least once. I'm not sure if most people would really want to play a 2nd time, but the first time through, it is definitely a lot of fun.
