sophia hapgoodPosted this review
Pros:
Unique level format Interesting events Space ships
Cons:
One single extremely long chapter Is probably inaccessible to inexperienced players Bots are completely useless Several areas where zombies get stuck and can't be shoved No direction whatsoever
Conclusion:
This map isn't like any other you've played, but that might be a good thing. Bots can't contribute and die off very fast, zombies get stuck in areas you can't push them off, there's one chapter, and there's no direction- one of those campaigns which is fun at first and then gets frustrating, especially if you don't know the map or are not playing with a human team.

Pros:
- Very challenging especially when playing individually - Creative! - Abundant factors which spend you 30 min at least
Cons:
- Bots are not intelligent enough - Hordes keep spawning - Weapons lacking
Conclusion:
A creative work consisting of many fresh ideas e.g. custom bosses, a big map involving multi-stages etc. One can experience a very special fight which cannot be found in official campaigns. However bots are not reliable and the neverending spawning of hordes sometimes cause frustration. Overall this map is great. I'd recommend it.

Pros:
Custom Bosses( Love 'em) Puzzles Challenge Secret Room :D Ellis' deepest fear( Them being the Space Jockeys and the eggs. xD)
Cons:
I really didn't have anything bad about this for the exception of one thing, and I won't deduct points for this: At the End Credits the stats won't show up. They're all Zeros.( For the exception of the time it took to complete and the number of restarts.)
Conclusion:
Although this map is really difficult with just Bots, I managed to complete it with them. It was fun fighting the custom bosses, there was enough ammo and supplies, and I really liked the touch of the secret room. I also liked the use of the boxes with the buttons on them( the ones that have the red button and spawn random weapons.) from Space Jockeys. The only thing wrong with this is the end credits that I mentioned in the "Cons" Section. All in all I had loads of fun and it was a really decent challenge. Totally worth the download. Excellent Work! Final conclusion: Download this. It's loads of fun. Quick word: I wouldn't suggest using the " Bot Fixes- Bots can Lead" Addon with this campaign. It makes them Dumber. xD( Or any Mob Stadium one for that matter.)

Pros:
Gnome panel Jockey cops Soloable UFO Worm boss Weapon panels Use of artifact gathering Block pushing
Cons:
More head bosses. -3 points The area with the gnome. Wall moves too quickly to get the gnome normally. I had to shoot the gnome until it got closer to the edge and just grabbed it. -2 points Lack of weapon variety. -2 points
Conclusion:
Very similar to the author's first map, but much better. Some things to upgrade would be to make the room with the poles operable when you push the tablet. Make the poles go up and down, would be more interesting. A very good map that is worth downloading.

Pros:
- large map - bosses - secret gnome! - riot shield!
Cons:
- very hard because there aren't safe rooms and you need to complete the whole map and if you die you need to do it all over again. --__-- - why isn't there a survival of this?
Conclusion:
this is a great map!

Pros:
Extremely creative, very well developed for such a small file size. Great end to the series. Final boss blew us away.
Cons:
Possibly your most difficult map to date! But still very beatable. Play it on advanced.
Conclusion:
A very creative campaign, that takes a team, to go through. The bosses were really fun to see, I'm a huge fan of custom l4d(2) bosses, and this map is sure to pleasure. Play it until you beat it, cause the final boss is well worth it. Watch my teams playthrough of it for a full on review.

Pros:
the bosses are unexpected and creative the level design is fantastic and strange the atmosphere is very extraterrestrial
Cons:
it gets a little confusing at times there is no indication if it is your first time playing how to kill the bosses there could have been more guns and ammo stashes
Conclusion:
this map is very fun for l4d it has bosses that would never be in the regular game and the bosses are so creative and at times a little scary i love the space thing overall this is a good map and it may have some faults but it is very fun i suggest download it is worth it

Pros:
+ The bosses are just amazing. The snake boss, the tower boss, the flying ships, scintillating. + The effect of healing when putting the pieces in was a nice touch. + Not so much puzzles this time, but much more straightforward imo compared to Mob Stadium 2012. + Self-acting doors. Nice. + Rumbling, shaking effect + The plaque-pushing thing was quite ingenious. + Yet another secret gnome room? OH HELL YES
Cons:
- Textures throughout the map are kind of ... boring .. much like Mob Stadium, but not as brilliant as the design of Space Jockeys. This one has a kind of coliseum-like, earthy feel to it, but the textures were just... too similar ... i think you should put it a white sandstone texture for one particular part, for example, or something similar. - The back of the UFO isn't detected as part of the safe zone during the escape. - Needs more lights. Much more, since lights really help in making a map look interesting. - Very boring skybox. - Needs a couple more pills, adrenaline, or health kits here and there. - A few more throwables would be nice, as would a few explosive cans. - No dedicated servers =(, though that's not your fault
Conclusion:
Well, it's a good wrap-up to the 2012 campaign. Though better than Mob Stadium, this one lacked the flair of Space Jockeys. Little things in Space Jockeys such as the breaking of the glass, and especially lights, really set it apart from this one. Overall, what really kills this map in popularity is the lack of color. Space Jockeys raised the bar so high with its nice visuals, that the overall brown-ness and grey shades of Wormwood really act as a weakness rather than a strength. The interactivity reached goes to new heights ... the map is truly one of a kind. If it gets polished up with some new visuals, added color and lighting, a new skybox, etc., with a bit more of Space Jockeys flavor, it would definitely be among the best. That brown color for the ground and the walls ... its ubiquitous to a ridiculous amount. I would also suggest a few Director tips. Truly one of the most original ones out there. It's visual styling basically deducted all 13 of the points I'm taking off in my review, my 87/100 is fully merited. While not a work of art, its a technical marvel worth a try.

Pros:
- Giant bosses were freaking awesome! - Loved the layout of the whole thing. Nice to see something that kinda looks like mob stadium to finish off a series. - Puzzle was great, I liked the finding pieces thing. - Weapons were nicely placed. Can take awhile to find the right door but worth it in the end. - The most epic thing in this was the ending boss. He was awesome. I was not expecting something so huge. - We are in the credits =D!
Cons:
- As normal the bots are useless, but you can't do anything about that so its fine. - I wish at the beginning you put out a ammo pile. We ran outta ammo quick with all the zombies and trying to shoot the eyes. - Not everyone was healed when we placed the pieces in, not sure if that was intentional.
Conclusion:
Where is all the reviews for this map? Especially since space jockeys was such a hit. Anyway, we REALLY enjoyed this map. Fantastic ending to a awesome trilogy of maps. I will rate this a 94 because there is always room for improvement. Its best to play this on easy, this was to be expected aswell. But even on easy its hard so it does not really matter. I''ll have our video of it out some time soon. Please if you can create more maps. Your ideas are just awesome and you really do make some of the best maps.
