Thank you. Finished in 3hrs, 11min and 5 Restarts, First time, Expert Single Player Mode
Checkout my complete walk-through for this campaign through the link below: h\t\t\ps://www.youtube.c\o\m/playlist?list=PLOFtKLS6rEvlaGQWtCNwLexSeg1bnehCc Copy the URL, Remove \ from (h\t\t\ps) & (c\o\m), then Press Enter Ch1: Was completed after 2 restarts. It's really dark and like a maze, but the way we kept searching for supplies was good. Tank came by the very beginning and we literally had nothing and I couldn't even burn it using those gas barrels after going upstairs, the 2nd staircase you find in the 1st chapter. That caused 1 restart out of 2. The other restart was because all bots died after a bot made those gas barrels explode and all got burnt leaving me alone to survive for a few minutes, then dying. Ch2: Was completed after 3 restarts. It was another maze in this darkness and it was harder with all of these staircases taking you in circles unless you watch closely and walk carefully. 2/3 restarts were in stairs area while searching for the way. The 3rd restart was after the last panic event when I activate the last key and I took a noob step to help a dead bot to die with other bots in no time. I was so close to safe room, but didn't know. Ch3: Was completed with 0 restarts. It was just fine and I got to know more about activating keys and alarms. I liked those containers and they were typically representing some space thing up there. Ch4: Was completed with 0 restarts and it was considered the longest of them all. I managed to see the alien eggs for the first time too. I died, but a bot saved me as I have that add-on that makes bots act in a close way to humans to make up for real players on hard custom maps. I died by a really unforunate way, but luckily the bot revived me with a defib. Ch5: Was completed with 0 restarts and it was shorter than expected, but the battery took me so long to find it although it was in front of me when I got to its spot. After I found the battery, I reached saferoom in no time. That moving floor next to the area where the battery is was blocked by a special infected below it so this area should be fixed so that the moving floor can easily go down and even kill what is below it. I had to use !warp to get there thinking the battery was there, but only supplies. Ch6/Finale: Was completed with 0 restarts. Took a while until I figured out what I should have done to doors as they got the same texture as if they were an integral part of the wall. I loved the pulse rifle and the mother alien. This really added to the atmosphere along with all doors, containers and panels. 4/5 stars because of the bitchblack atmosphere that didn't get revealed enough with our flash lights. I didn't expect the entire campaign to be that dark really. So we had dark dark routes + a series of mazes and hidden items to find to open doors and move forward. All I needed was a campaign that's brighter than my future :)) I won't ask for directions or anything else. I want this difficulty and I love mazes. I want to start with pistols and keep searching for items, but please don't make it that dark while we are going through all of that. I hope to find more campaigns made by you sooner or later. I know you are not there anymore, but I hope you are back or I hope you are already back and I am mistaken. Good luck!

Wow. Never in my life have I been so bored playing L4D2. This campaign is the embodiment of find the button simulator, you run around the maze-like never changing in style hallways as you try to find buttons, then keep running around this bloody maze until you think you've made progress and randomly stumble across the saferoom. This campaign is complete ass, called it quits after wasting 15ish minutes on chapter 2 trying to figure out where the hell to go and wandering around in circles. Some games should not be adapted for L4D2, that's for sure.

Good, but kind of frustrating without clues
Tested this old campaign, & cleared in about 1 hour & 50 minutes. Actually this campaign is good for those who love doing somw objectives to clear a map. All maps have similar objectives like collecting batteries & turning on power to access the locked doors. Bot navigation is fine. Some hints are helpful. . There are only 2 serious drawbacks here: lack of weapons & supplies & lack of clues. The lack of weapons & supplies happen even in the beginning of map 1. Normally, players will only find lots of pistols, & defibs. Some tier 1 weapons like smg & pumpshotgun will only be found later as players explore further. During my tests twice, one of them had a tank when bots & I only had pistols & melee weapons. I had no other choice but to run back to the places where there were barrels & burned the tank there & then kept running until he died burning out to crisp. For personal use, I decided to change some scripts on map 1 from "any_pistol" to "any_rifle", just to replace any pistols found during exploration to decent primary weapons just in case when a tank came. . Most maps are simple, like, I'll give you a tips like this, "If you can't open a locked door or two, you need either to turn on power somewhere or get some batteries to turn on power". Only few clues are provided, & it's just as I said in the quotation, & this is the 2nd serious drawback. Normal players who don't get used to item searching & exploration will get frustrated, as most maps are like mazes of corridors & boxes. Even I solved most mazes just by my usual trick, by "keeping turning left" at the junctions as I'm bad at solving a maze :D . . & prepare your patience on map 4, as I spent most of my time on map 4. Map 4 is the combination of maze & puzzles of switches. Some switches can only open the secret rooms once, so make sure that you take all supplies inside before leaving the secret rooms. The rest of the switches are related to the paths. My usual tactic to always turn left met a dead end here when a locked door required more power to unlock, & I had to put some extra thoughts about the possible paths by looking around. Well, I'll give some little clues to help from frustration on this map. Pay attention to the paths & a control panel on a high place, & find a way to go there. There's a hidden tricky elevator that can lead to that place. Once you solve that one, the rest of paths are just pieces of cake. . Map 5 also has similar mechanisms, but shorter. The locations where the control panels & batteries aren't as difficult as map 5. . The finale also has such mechanisms, but with the camouflaged doors. At first, you may only see a dark cave, but actually some walls are camouflages. If you're confused, just try to shoot around with rifles or pistols. Once you get the power on & unlock the gate, the defense finale is waiting. Somehow, during the finale event, the tank often gets stuck behind a locked room. & the finale is kind of disappointing, because when I looked into the vpk, I saw something like alien queen & I expected to fight a final boss, a real alien. But well, in the end it was just a normal defense finale. . In overalls, it would be a fun campaign if those 2 serious drawback didn't exist. It's still challenging for those who love a campaign with some objectives required to clear the maps & those who love solving mazes. For those who only want to play for fun & refreshment, it's not recommended to play this one, as you'll get more frustrated & much less refreshed when trying to figure out where the batteries & the paths are. But I'll keep this campaign, because I also like to play campaigns about puzzles & objectives once for awhile.

Game over man,game over!!
Good: The creepy atmosphere like in the films. Skins to make the specials look like xenomorphs. No errors to the textures. Bad It's too dark to see anything,even with the flashlight it's hard to see switches etc. Some puzzles felt repetitive. The finale was pretty easy not much of a challenge. Needs more alien related things,eg the Queen,maybe the music/voices from the films/game? I had fun playing it but it did seem to drag on.I hope you make more alien related maps in the future.

Alien + Zombies is bad combination
Completed in expert realism with only one friend. Guess we didn't really need bots x) The initial pistols-only condition and the first horde was really unreasonable. The creator expects us to fight a horde with only pistols especially when the horde can sometimes spawn from behind the beginning area? That already made a bad impression to me on this map. The map really made me feel like I was in a spaceship, a ship so unfamiliar with that creeps me out a bit. Surrounding and some props were well made. However, the horde mechanism and events were really repetitive. I still didn't really feel that getting a battery would trigger zombies was a good idea at all. What's the logic behind? I didn't hear any alarm sound and don't see anything that would really trigger the zombies. If all the zombies were aliens maybe it made sense a bit, but it just didn't really match well. Personally I don't really like puzzle-like map like this, looking for key and proceed when you found the key and repeat, while fighting timed-horde. What made it worse was that the surrounding looked so similar! The finale was broken. The whole map, including the finale, has many horde spawn point that the horde will never be able to touch you unless you unlock the door or open something. Map is exhausting and repetitive, perhaps if you like aliens and spaceship, you can give it a go, or else it's a no no in my recommendation book. Some details in the map look fine though.

CressAFCPosted this review
Pros:
Survivors/Special infected have custom skins The detail of this campaign was brilliant Very long chapters
Cons:
Chapter 3 was glitched. To open the door we had to turn on the power switches. There was no indication of how many we had to turn on, so after wandering the room for what seemed like an hour, we turned on all the switches we could find (around 10), and the door still wouldn't open. Got very irritating so we went back to the lobby and skipped the chapter. Chapter 4 was just as bad. We had to get a battery to open the door. After looking around for a while we couldn't find a battery to open the door.
Conclusion:
What seemed like a very promising campaign turned out to be a huge disappointment because of the glitched chapters.

Pros:
Custom skins Dark theme stays true to the Alien movie Breakable walls add to dynamic effect and exploration
Cons:
Chapter 3 - turned all power switches on, the main gate never opened by the tanks. Chapter 4 - no battery to put into switch at start of level
Conclusion:
Good effects but buggy game makes this not enjoyable after chapter 2

Pros:
Awesome Extremely detailed- just an ungodly amount Dark, gritty graphics added to the atmosphere Custom everything Special infected skins are epic Custom survivor skins Very difficult; great team challenge Very long; took us over 3 hours The supply distribution overall was quite impressive, it was cleverly and skillfully done Incredible artistic work, beautiful in its own way Excellent layout- extremely extensive, but still doable and able to be figured out Magnums, yay! Breakable boxes, sometimes with items inside them Various rooms Extremely varied chapters, each with wholly unique elements Queen model, alien egg models Cave theme is quite underdone, but quite well done here Exploding barrels yeahhh Switches are easy to identify CI and SI spawning are excellent
Cons:
First and second levels NEED direction; we only got through it because at least one teammate was dead and spectating Safe rooms bugged- players who didn't survive would spawn outside of them Finale was glitched out- stand in front of the door Difficulty might be too much for some Dark atmosphere might be too much for some Length might be too much for some- 6 very long maps Safe rooms contain no items- not an issue personally
Conclusion:
Wow!! Phenomenal map!! Simply amazing, I'm telling everyone about this one. Expert recommendation is spot-on; the supply of defibs was clearly intended for those playing in expert realism, and thank you for all those (we needed them). The amount of magnums, too, really made this approachable. The staggering amount of custom elements in this map really set it apart and make it visually impressive, but the clever layout and gameplay design seal this map as a truly great map. You're an excellent map maker, keep up the good work.

AmpliDUDEPosted this review
Pros:
========= In general ========= + Good gameplay. + Items in destructable crates. + AI Navigation works pretty well. + Custom infected skins were acceptable. + Based on an actual existing game. + Also Tank skin was acceptable. + Long campaign. + Puzzles were not so difficult, but see Cons. + Destructable walls. + As redsf mentioned, good enemy balance. + Finale worked out pretty well. + Somehow loved the sharpened graphics.
Cons:
========= Map 4 ========= - AI sometimes get stuck close to pillars where items are placed. - Had to skip this map, see Conclusion. ======================= ========= Miscellaneous ========= - Quite bad lighting. - Can get boring sometimes. ============================
Conclusion:
Map 4: somehow didn't find the other necessary switch... I think there was one switch, where you had to tap 2 switches at the same time, for SP impossible. Good campaign!

Pros:
- Based off the Alien movie series - New skins - Unique environment - Creative - Breakable walls - Breakable crates with items in them - Alien Queen - Batteries - Safe rooms - Map length - Looks like an old game
Cons:
- Bill still looks the same? - Needs more direction - Some elevators were glitchy - Not enough tanks and witches - How does picking up the gun start the rescue event if we cant use it? :/ - No ammo/guns during the finale - Some maps looked the same
Conclusion:
It's got some good ideas but it could be improved. Although it was meant to look old school, it could have been made more interesting with some different settings.Yet, it's still an okay campaign, just needs a few fixes.

Pros:
Nice Design. Skins for specials. Skins for survivors. Old school FPS style, Keys and all. Leafo campaign.
Cons:
Had issues with keys not registering, Had to restart a few times. Had issues starting finale. Few other glitches. Last leafo campaign.
Conclusion:
Its the same great quality from the silent hill map, but shorter and with a few bugs included. Its still worth a playthrough and its a shame to see you go.

Pros:
very original map nice textures nice skins on special infected big map and alot to explore
Cons:
difficulty finding your way around no arrows or markers telling you the right way. no tanks :O(
Conclusion:
The good news is, This map is great, you did an amazing job with it, its very well done. But I found that the buttons you have to push, you have no way or knowing how many you have left, so you spend most of your time looking for them, and the better part of the time is spent figuring out where to go.I spent alot of time running around in circles lol. I to had trouble on map 4 where the door kept telling me that the power is shut down, I looked everywhere for another button, but couldn't find it.Maybe have the buttons highlighted like the ammo is, so they are easier to find and able to tell if one was missed.After searching for almost 30 minutes, I quit out of pure frustration....grrr.... Aside from my above mentioned cons, this is a fun map to play, especially with the mod and playing pyromania hehe. :O)

Pros:
-skins, of cos -map layout -details length
Cons:
-map 1-3 looks waaaay too simlar -ALL 6 maps is finding buttons to press -events are all the same -quite boring -cant tell how many button you still need to press -ending is just... another room?
Conclusion:
I dont think most of the maps even need arrows to tell you where to go, even this map. HOWEVER, at least tell how many button/item you still have to find. That's quite stupid for us to get to doors which we cant open, and after we searh EVERY SINGLE INCH of the map, no more buttons/items can be found. And after we restart the map, it end up that door just being bugged. We DID what we need to, and the door just wont open. Also, all 6 maps is jsut press buttons to win, nothing special, nothing more.

Pros:
Silent Hill style. Excellent skin/model. Hard and challenging. LOTS of secret rooms. Hidden items. Way too many pill/adrenalin, aid kid, defi, grenade... (maybe this is cons, it made the campaign quite easy at map 2 3 4 5). Dark and blur, hard for observer to explore maps. Puzzles. Unique. No hint. Feel like in Alien movie. Made by Leafo.
Cons:
Lacks of great music/sound. Lacks of Tank, should have at least one for each map. We only got only one Tank for the first 5 maps. Not enough atmosphere. Repetitive.
Conclusion:
AWESOME F*CKING AWESOME campaign, among the best available to date !!! WARNING: This campaign is a path finding one, do NOT play if you have no patience. There is NO HINT, you must explore it yourself. That is the value of the campaign. Map 1 is really hard because it is obscure at first, and start with nothing but pistol, it also took us much time the most. But the other maps is quite easy, because there are soooo many things to grab, and straight forward. Especially map 5, not sure why he made this one that short. Finale is great, works fine and got lots of secret rooms and ways there, but it is also lack of supplies compare to the others, so it is hard. When we reached this one, we were all in yellow or red health-bar. In conclusion, this is really hassle and challenging campaign, but still much easier than Silent Hill. It took us ~3 hours to reach to the finale (played on Realism Hard). We found no bug yet. MUST PLAY if you really love L4D2. To Leafo: This one is fully complete I think, so please come back to Silent Hill: Otherside of Life, I really love your mapping style, please finish it asap, and make more wonderful campaigns. Thank you very much for taking the time to create those.

Cool idea but bad execution
