      Playable

      Pros:
      - OK design.
      - Custom content.
      - Fun.
      - Bots work well.
      
      Cons:
      - WTF is the poster??
      - A nav issue. The first tank on Map 3 suicided during my playing.
      - Bad fps for mediocre details on Map 1
      - You can find some op places to camp in the finale.
      - Terrible color correction on Map 1. Wait, did it really use any color corrections?
      
      Conclusion:
      Just another playable campaign released many years ago. Download it if you have no other choices.

      Good short campaign to enjoy

      Well, the title is Beginner's Luck, but I think the author here has more than just luck. The campaign, although it's rather short, is well made. There's no bot navigation error. Some areas are low on grenade supplies, & map 1 lacks first aid kits. The directions & hints are clear.
      .
      Map 1 is about exploring some building to reach the maze garden. There are some witches roaming around. Special infected gets more benefits in the maze.
      .
      Map 2 has sewer part. There is an alarm door event near the end of the map, & survivors need to run all the way to the saferoom. Beware of witch, & small/ crouching special infected, as they can hide in the water & suddenly jump on you.
      .
      The finale is kind of short. It's a holdout finale, but quite challenging. There are some good place to camp. The challenging part happens after the 2nd tank is dead. The rescue time takes a little longer than usual, so, at least survivors will face 1-2 more tanks during waiting the rescue unit to arrive. Sometimes if players go to the store's roof, bots will stay there waiting for the rescue unit. When that happens, they become easy targets to special infected & tank. So, you have no choice but to let the special infected & tank punch them while covering them with fire from safe places.
      .
      In short, it's a good short campaign to enjoy.

      7.4

      Pros:

      - Intro + dialogue
      - Environment
      - Detailed
      - Easy to follow
      - Excellent guiding arrows and instructions for events
      - Armory
      - Vents
      - Bot navigation in map 1 + 2
      - Good finale area
      - Plenty of supplies and weapon choice
      - Download size

      Cons:

      - Bad poster
      - 1st map is short
      - Map pictures ingame are dark and flicker?
      - Glitch in the finale, bots teleport outside of the map and we can't start the radio because they are too far away so we have to restart
      - No stats
      

      Conclusion:

      Nice, short and an  easy to follow campaign with no frustration. It just needs to fix the bot teleporting issue in the finale.

      Pros:

      Simple in terms of obstacles.
      Clear paths.
      No bugs or glitches.
      Plenty of weapons, ammo, explosives, meds, etc.

      Cons:

      Boring environment.
      Unimaginative. 
      No events.
      Short.
      Easy.  There's nothing here that gives the player any challenge.
      Bots are slow.

      Conclusion:

      There's really not much here.  It's a simple campaign that goes from A to B without any real challenge.  All three maps are of average length and the finale is way too easy and quick.  There aren't any issues with campaign in terms of bugs or glitches and the paths are clear without the need of arrows.  Unfortunately, there isn't anything here that sets it apart from other custom campaigns nor is it challenging or exciting.

      6.5

      Pros:

      ======= In general =======
      + Very good campaign for a first try.
      + No crashes and heavy bugs.
      + Maze level was quite amusing.
      + Car alarms to increase difficulty.
      + Good spread of supplies.
      + Finale area was nice and fitting.
      + Nice intro and outro.

      Cons:

      ======= Map 1 =======
      - Buildings looked very bland and partly had no textures or low res. textures.
      ===================
      
      ======= Map 2 =======
      - Tanks event that was meant to start didn't start.
      - Very hard even with melee weapons.
      - No watrer physics like walking slower in water.
      - Lack of supplies: pills and medkits!
      ===================
      
      ======= Map 3 =======
      - Enemies got stuck at ladders and blocked us.
      - Chopper landed on me and I got stuck in it lol.
      - Tank spawned on border hill and nearly didn't make it to us.
      - Chopper ultimately landed but AI mates didn't get aboard - AI NAV problems.
      ===================
      
      ======= Miscellaneous =======
      - No pics yet (due to beta status)
      - Bland textures especially building textures.
      - AI mates sometimes didn't pick up items.
      =======================
      

      Conclusion:

      Quite surprising how good this campaign worked out for a very early beta release. Just take care of these Cons and it's going to be very good, here some hints:
      
      For Map 2 add some more space between certain objects to ease up the tension a little bit. Please also add some more pills or adrenaline, it's very hard to survive this, especially on advanced difficulty. Also a lot of enemies got stuck at ladders and blocked us.
      
      The Finale needs some more work concerning the chopper landing and the AI NAV. because they simply refused to get aboard.
      
      Yeah for now: respect. Campaign isn't bad at all but I personally didn't like the storyline, it seemed very boring.
      I'll give you 6.5/10 because there are still improvements that have to be made. If anything has to be clarified, just ask me. Good work for your first try!

      Pros:

      Campaign in overall:
      
      Decent intro
      For a first upload, really nice level design
      Skybox
      
      Challange
      Uncommon infected
      Quite good weapon placements
      
      Map 1:
      
      Fun, yet not so hard maze
      Good map lenght
      
      Map 2: 
      
      Nice paths
      Surprise car alarm
      
      Map 3:
      
      Finally supplies!
      Alot of infected ladders

      Cons:

      Campaign in overall:
      
      Most maps dont have soundscapes
      Lack of ambient sounds
      No story and very few survivor dialouges
      
      No media
      Need more supplies!
      Almost no physic objects at all
      Bots dont pick up alot of stuff
      
      Map 1:
      
      Witches are quite overused
      Lack of aidkits
      
      Map 2: 
      
      WAY too hard! (see conclusion)
      Lack of everything
      Very poorly and lazy city design - some of them are blocks with no details on them at all
      
      Map 3:
      
      Water at the start saferoom is not working correctly
      Bots refuse to enter the chopper
      

      Conclusion:

      I think its a good campaign for a first upload, thought it do need alot of bug fixing and more details put into it.
      
      I'm not fully aware what the story is. Survivors crashed with a car at a parking lot or something. Aha, how and why? What are they doing there? Etc. Even if the campaign itself is fully working, I can't say its a very intresting one.
      
      And what the hell did you do with the second map? I played on advanced with 1 aidkit (bots could not pick up the other kits), I didn't find adrenaline or pills, and we are supposed to start a non-stopping mob panic event, crawl in a vent with riot zombies you can't show in that vent and survive? 
      
      As I said, its good for a first upload but you have to give it a good challange. Not too hard, not too easy. I beilive at least half of our map testers play on advanced/expert and this is impossible for anyone playing on normal or above.
      
      7/10 for the good work
