Pros:
+ Fawesome + Movie soundtrack plays!!! + The map isn't built exactly like the movie's set, but it works perfectly for the gameplay! + Little things like distinct corpse placements and recognizable props help increase the nostalgia factor!
Cons:
- No Tarman!?
Conclusion:
It's Return of the Living Dead, the best zombie movie ever made, turned into a map for one of the best zombie games ever made. Yes!

Pros:
Bots actually WORK. Building and supplies gathering involved. Decent amount of SI. The original Survivors were used (for once) Tanks were not in every single wave.
Cons:
You could not build Turrets, sand bags, etc. Lack of Research Tree for new items Map was rather small
Conclusion:
Still pretty great map, even if it was not what I was originally hoping. Honestly, the bots could shoot, which is the main reason why I give this map a 9.

Pros:
-Nostalgasm -Flawless barricade system -Great music -Keeps true to original movie -Not too easy, but not ridiculously hard -Nice supply of items -Fun with bots and/or friends
Cons:
-Lags to an almost unplayable state when a Tank spawns
Conclusion:
Other than the earth-shattering Tank lag, this is a beautiful masterpiece. This is honestly one of my favorites.

Pros:
Very cool. Great barricade system. Excellent recreation of a excellent film. It's Return of The Living Dead in Left 4 Dead.
Cons:
There are not many however, when playing with bots it can be really annoying as bots shoot through the boards and it defeats the purpose. Also, this is a bit petty but, the music is too overpowered by the L4D music which is quite annoying.
Conclusion:
Great map based on the 1985 horror film Return of The Living Dead. The map is very true to the films and has soundtrack music playing in the background. It's a fun map, however it is a bit short(15 mins) and is a little bit buggy. Overall this is a fantastic map and i cannot wait for a full campaign. The SBS system is great and it definitely makes this map a must-play. And remember to Send More Paramedics!

Pros:
Well designed Custom vocals Fun gamemode custom world physics Narrow hallways = Melee effectiveness Forces you to keep returning to one spot and maintaining it then set off to another. Intro is nice as always custom music
Cons:
Several Bugs (I know its beta but these need to be pointed out) When lifting the door, if you are too close, you get pushed outside. and with all the baricades in place you cannot reenter the house. The map itself IMO needs to have a decent cinematic crescendo event (Other than random tanks appearing in the doorways and the initial button press) The ending kills everyone, forcing you to replay the map, and hindering the ability to return to the lobby to choose another campaign. (When on LAN parties for example you would have to rejoin with everyone to start a new map) 2 more that aren't worth mentioning
Conclusion:
The classic survival mode and defense game mechanics used in building maps are always rewarding. However the bugs pointed out give room for improvement. The custom aspect of the map was rather unique as the gamehelper even showed you where to go and what to do, making easy for first time players of the map. However the 'ending' of the map was rather anti-climatic seeing how you just ventured 15 minutes slamming boards on the wall and killing gobs of zombies simultaneously, finally got everything boarded up, and you're safe.... until everyone drops dead before the credits come along. The replay ability is very low though since it is always the same each play through, excluding what the player does different. Nevertheless it was still an enjoyable map.

Pros:
The map was fun good system of how to get to the finale Fun running round the house to get the items It was quite the challange
Cons:
sometimes when building the barricade out of wood I would have to stand in a certain part so I could actually start building
Conclusion:
The ending was a shock haven't seen a map end like that before One of the best maps I have seen keep up the good work

Pros:
Makes survival fun by reinventing it. Set up stage is done right. Mostly strait forward in what you have to do. The "Survival Barricade System" works almost flawlessly. Challenging but there are enough supplies if youre smart with them.
Cons:
The "burn the cadaver" message needs to stay up a bit longer. The saferoom door barricade needs to clip through you so people dont get accidentally pushed outside.
Conclusion:
Really fun, Teamwork is needed.

Pros:
Unique, innovative, and most of all, really fun! Challenging to say the least L4D1 survivors I like how it's balanced as a scavenge, survival and a finale all in one. The music!
Cons:
Could possibly get a bit repetitive after a few playthroughs Other than that, can't think of anything
Conclusion:
Very fun indeed, I wish I knew how it was all made!

Pros:
- incredible survival experience -awesome level based in the movie! -gameplay style building the barricades - scavenge furniture in order to hold and survive - lots of detail and cool design, well placed items - l4d traditional campaigns never going to be the same after this one!! haha
Cons:
- cant wait for more
Conclusion:
challenging level design, awesome innovation, that single map for me was like a whole campaign, if thats the 60% of the whole proyect its going to be epic when it comes out !!! BIG THANKS to Lou Saffire for the great work

Pros:
Way cool map. Gets the feel of the movie, especially outdoors. I was looking for U-Need-A. Great attention to detail, the "rabid weasels" were in the crematory.
Cons:
Noticed the clipping at the front gate, no big deal. Would be cool if police car could actually have textures on it of the Louisville PD (I'll photograph an actual Louisville police car if it would help!). Would be good if new music track wasn't riding on game music.
Conclusion:
This is one of the coolest single maps out there. Ernie would be proud of his morgue. This could be a great full campaign.

Pros:
-Very interesting new mechanics, several stages of this makes for a great micro-campaign. -(Although loose) Custom VCs for the survivors are used. -Overall Quality of the campaign is excellent, definitely continue your work on this.
Cons:
-Repetitive, especially if played on SP -Not enough infected doors/spawns -Absolutely no vertical components
Conclusion:
The micro campaign is a very interesting concept, to say the least, and really stretches a survivor's mind to work in new ways, but the lack of infected spawns can leave this uninteresting and repetitive. I like what you're doing with this though, some work, and this could be an excellent finale for a longer campaign.
