Review
What's there to say? It's pretty much a perfect L4D style campaign. I did however, encounter a serious issue where the bots got stuck on this stairway after I jumped down to grab a bile jar, and they wouldn't teleport at all, had to kill them all to proceed into the elevator. Another oddity is that it shows the L4D1 survivors on the poster, prolly too lazy to change from a port :)

Similar to Project Auburn 2
This is still one of my favorite campaigns. I think I discovered the secret to making the bot players get into that elevator. I had to press the button on the elevator. Then I had to stand beside the elevator and wait for the elevator doors to open. Standing in front of the elevator or walking far away from the elevator seems to confuse the bot players. They won't get into the elevator after I do that. The second map of this campaign is very difficult because I have to turn off an alarm. I am usually out of ammo by the time I open the door that starts the alarm. The ammo pile is in the Safe Room. I had to stand on top of that generator near the Safe Room, hop onto a ledge, and walk back into the Safe Room. That was the only way to get more ammo before that first panic event started. There are a lot of tight spaces in this campaign. It's easy to get trapped by a Spitter or a Tank. The Witch Maze is not extremely difficult to navigate. Fortunately, the direction of the maze doesn't change. You have to keep moving to the left. Sometimes there are no witches in the maze. The tight spaces make this campaign similar to Project Auburn 2.

Pros:
- length of maps are good - like the piano that plays music - navigation is smooth and neat - finale is fine - gauntlet events are in normal ratios - the design of the pool is unique and good
Cons:
- the bots sometimes get stuck outside the elevator and can't get in - for some reason, tier 2 weapons only spawn on the third or fourth map for me (might be a glitch) - not much interesting dialogues by the survivors; plain and boring - for some reason, the witches don't appear at the maze; it's totally empty (might be a glitch)
Conclusion:
Average and unique campaign. I especially like the piano and the pool as both are very well done. However, there are many glitches in this campaign and hopefully they can be fixed. Overall, an enjoyable and fun campaign and easy to play.

GOOD.
Overall it's a well designed map with no glitches and fluent gameplay. It's fairly difficult on expert difficulty with bots as the maps are looong but after many retries it is doable so no cons there. Although I will say the witch maze where SI/common can walk through the grassy walls is quite irritating as they will stand there unseen and scratch you, not to mention a seemingly infinite horde running at you from all directions.

Pros:
======= In general ======= + Very nice setup. + Acceptable difficulty. + Fluent gameplay possible. + Enough boomer biles, and all kinds of supplies. + Long for 4 maps, an hour at least. + Tank on each map and balanced with horde events. + Lovely design of the pool area, would have liked to see that everywhere. + Finale is also well done on the whole.
Cons:
======= Map 3 ======= - AI mates sometimes were too far behind me. - Zombies coming through the walls of the maze. =================== ======= Map 4 ======= - Zombies spawned in an not-reachable area. - Finale: credit music played two times in one, with slight delay. - Tanks spawning a bit too close to the rescue vehicle, the train. ===================
Conclusion:
Honestly, well done. I really enjoyed playing this, kept me busy and also showed me the nice sides of its design.

Pros:
-Nice environments. -I loved that area with the pool. -Jumping down a well to proceed was new. -Maze full of witches (not for the faint-hearted!) -Never got boring. -Decent amount of supplies and weapons. -I saw Bill!
Cons:
In the first map, one bot tried to teleport into the saferoom and died instantly. Not sure what happened there. -The bots just would not get in that elevator. I had to wait until they were all dead or incapped before it would let me proceed. I think I managed to get one bot in once, but I think that might be a one-off. -The office building felt a little empty. Could of done with more props.
Conclusion:
This was a lot better than I was expecting. The transitions from one environment to the other was great and didn't feel awkward at all.

Pros:
Great map design Varying maps keep things fresh No "same theme" going on Plenty of supplies Bots were mostly responsive

second map bots did not want to get on the elevator
Conclusion:
There is really no reason to downvote this map, it was creative, fun, challenging, and had little to no problems, well done sir/madam.

Pros:
Great map design Perfect length, not too short not too long The witch hedge maze There was an abundance of supplies Love the intro music/sounds
Cons:
Lack of character dialogue No real 'story' Too many gas cans* Lack of official L4D sounds and music
Conclusion:
I really enjoyed playing this map, it was aesthetically pleasing and well laid out. My friend mentioned how everything was excruciatingly bright in the finale, but I had no issues with the lighting as it was perfect for me the entire campaign through. Still up in the air as to whether or not this would be one we play over and over again (I will admit I love listening to the survivors and their constant banter, it, for me, really adds a lot of character to a campaign.) I loved the underground area, it was very eerie, and I had a good laugh when we ran across the safe room with Bill and Zoey in it. *In the office building I felt as though there were almost /too/ many gas cans available for the survivors. Not that I was complaining when we were playing. ;3 less may make for more of a challenge however.

Pros:
-Supplies sufficient. -Working AI navigation. -Non-linear to the right extent. -Custom sounds and music intro. -Nice pools. -Instructions provided for interactive objects (though unclear at times, whether or not they summon Hordes).
Cons:
-Loading Screen displays the wrong Survivors (the ones playable here are different from the ones shown in the Poster). -No regular Music (ie, no Safe Room music, no Horde warnings. Other tracks work normally). -No scripted Dialogue. -Skybox messes up at times. -There are a few Grenade and Melee Weapon spawns that have more than one item in each (this, of course, shouldn't be). -Objects that are meant to spawn hordes don't display the "Here they come!" scripts (panic event scripts). -Objects that glow don't stop glowing once used. -Map 2 could easily be split into two parts; it is too long as it is. -Map 2's Gauntlet Event does not indicate that the Survivors must cut through, let alone where to find the switch that ends it (increase the glow radius of said switch). -Building in Map 2 could use more arrows and guidance, I got lost in there a few times. -Bots get stuck near a corner next to the rails in the Finale.
Conclusion:
An ordinary Campaign. Some areas in particular are tedious, but they aren't excruciating. A bit of balance fixes here and there will certainly improve the score (as well as some other corrections).

Pros:
The pool was amazing. Water was perfect. The outside areas were done very well. Especially the maze. No glitches noticed.
Cons:
The large empty rooms in the beginning ruined the map for me. I wouldn't expect those in real life and there were too many of them. The finale area was too small. We did find a great place to defend though. One map was too long.
Conclusion:
You need to do something with the large empty rooms in the beginning, No detail in them. break them up with smaller room with lots of debris. You should break up one of the maps (not sure which map number). It the one with the elevator that works. Stop it there and make the elevator a safe room. Continue the balance of the map as the next level. That level is too long. Restarting that map made us want to scream. This could be a great map with a bit more work.

Pros:
- Very well made. You clearly took your time to make sure the details were there. Only minimal glitches. - Good atmosphere - Plenty of original / unique content - Challenging and a good length - All around fun campaign!
Cons:
- Inconsistent difficulty. At the beginning it is too easy with ammo every couple feet, then it gets very hard out of nowhere with much less ammo. - The long ladder going down the well in map 4? Cool but all 3 bots fell, 1 got stuck in a falling loop until he died. Then no hero closet until after the elevator is activated. - Confusing 4th map. I get the elevator needing power so you go back and flip the switch but then there's no help. After I was about dead I tried the generator. Why is a generator needed when the power was turned on and why is everything else glowing except that?
Conclusion:
All in all a very fun and well made campaign. I'd say a little less ammo and more difficulty in the first couple maps and then a little more clarity in the later maps with a few glitches ironed out. It can be confusing at times but I always found my way pretty easily so I won't complain there. Nice job!
