Beware the lava
Good A different map design from just recycled ideas. Plenty of supplies Earthquakes add to the hazards with the lava. Spawns for commons/SI weren't erratic. Bad Bots had trouble navigating the highway & when the lava appears,they died a few times from being unable to follow me to safety,especially in the finale. It's fun but too short,was hoping for maybe a longer campaign. The placements for some cars caused me to get stuck between them & I had to restart the campaign due to this.

Perfect campaign. Great aesthetics, great map design, no navmesh issues, no glitches/bugs. Could be a bit longer. Nice work.

Pros:
-Great introduction to the campaign once started -Very surprising sequences -Cool Earthquakes which cause dynamic changes to the map -Nice helicopter support -Looting Ability -Awesome map in co-op mode
Cons:
- Zombie spawning can be unbalanced at some parts - You must restart from VERY BEGINNING if you die. I wish you split the map into parts. -Experienced a few bugs and confusion -The unexpected traps were not necessary and made me start at the beginning again! - Bots die very easily in solo
Conclusion:
I'll be honest here. I did not really like this map at all. I mean the idea is cool and all but first of all, the entire map is just highways with traps and looting. It was exciting and cool, especially with all the traps and surprising scenarios but starting at the very beginning was such a bother that after 2 tries I deleted the map (you cannot blame me, I just made it to the finale area after half-hour and to just die and restart, not tolerable in my case). I hope this map is improved and split into different parts. As of now, I would NOT recommend this map to anybody. Although, great job with everything, I expect better in the future. Good Luck!

Pros:
- lava... woot! - eathquake - helicopter help us! - collapse bridge
Cons:
- death = start all over again - no tank and finale music - too much cars (or maybe my computer?) - once bot fall down to the lava in finale they won't go up - no ammo in finale
Conclusion:
nice map but to many cons.. maybe some cons are from my game or not, i don't know, but it's still nice

Pros:
+Area for finale has plenty of space, at first +Some of the little things such as the heli event and looting bodies are a nice addition +Dealing with SI wasn't so hard because of extra space +Abundance of kits (life-saver IMO) +The layout with cars has a few more pros than cons
Cons:
-A campaign that's like 5 times the length of Crash Course's 2nd Chapter and no break in between -Ammo and tier 2 weapons are spread thin -No mags throughout the campaign, only in the finale -SI get stuck on some parts and after the tunnel they started spawning under the floor, none of the tier 2 weapons that me or the bots had had enough piercing power to kill them -After the lava sets in for the finale, you have to unload on the tank and hope you can kill it before it gets to the roofs * I got lucky with the 1st tank because it got stuck behind a car for a good while, the 2nd tank took a ton of damage from the lava and practically died from it, but the tank that spawns when the rescue vehicle comes spawned on trucks and close by
Conclusion:
Tried this on normal the first time and got stuck like half-way through the map. After I thought it would be better to try it on expert to maybe increase the chances of Deagles appearing (I was sadly mistaken) since I was only finding melee. Went through hell getting to the finale with bots because I had to be careful with the ammo I used for tier 2 and used melee most of the time. Didn't have too much trouble with the finale itself because the SI that had spawned beneath the floor never died and stayed down there and, as mentioned above, I got lucky with the tanks before the one that spawns when the rescue vehicle appears. If you had put at least 1 safe in the middle, this could have been a reasonably hard map. IDC if you report my review or not, at least the text will still be up as a warning of some seriously bad flaws and to anyone that'll try this on expert.

Pros:
Creative. Original. Detailed. Exciting. Tense. All-in-one map. Pathing. Plenty of survivor dialogue. Ample amounts of everything. Ample amounts of all infected types.
Cons:
Bots are vertically challenged. No clear arrows at certain points. Some areas have invisible walls. Earthquake areas are far too shaky and take too long. Ending is way too easy and quick.
Conclusion:
An excellent single map campaign that doesn't disappoint. It has a few flaws but overall it proves that less is more. Great work!

Pros:
Brilliantly designed spaghetti junction. Brushwork is fantastic and it very realistic. Looting corpses. Very detailed. Finale area was awesome, especially the diner. The disasters were done very nicely. Intro was well done and it's cool to use it as a safehouse of sorts. Custom dialogue. Supplies were just the right amount. Bots didn't fail with the lava. Well optimised for the scale for the map
Cons:
The intro brush that hangs around after the intro has finished. It may be confusing finding the way for some people, I did get lost once or twice.
Conclusion:
Fantastic map, very much worth a download, and I hope you do well in the competition! (Version 5 review, I haven't tried 6 yet)

SaveYourNeighborsPosted this review
Pros:
- well-done quake/crumble effects! - sweet finale "arena" - great details, curves, and good lookin' buildings. - looting was a good addition
Cons:
- a few dark curves on the highway were easy to get lost or turned around in, like when switching from descending to ascending on the ramps. - finale seemed to run overtime a few times - The shaking got disorienting in dark places (intentional?). like under the crumbling bridge.
Conclusion:
This level felt crazy long, but it might've had to do with some backtracking. I pity the party that doesn't clear the finale. Also, the credits brush isn't killed after the intro :) Cool environment all around! So. Many. Cars. Things got tense when a tank came up the ramp.

Pros:
========== My Opinions ================ + Realistic Natural Disaster + Earthquakes + Love the lava + Bots Navigation + Looting + Good Finale
Cons:
=========== The Disadvantages ============ - Debris suddenly falling down from cars & bridges - No warnings given
Conclusion:
I love this map because of the lava itself and it is so realistic. I just want to say thank you for making this map so realistic enough for me to think I was in there actually lol but if you read my cons and change it a bit would be perfect for this game don't you think so?

Pros:
-The lava at the end was a nice touch -loved the looting, especially the cop car -Open finale
Cons:
-No Tanks during the level? I think it would be kinda unexpected because of the earthquakes -Too long, should have been a saferoom by the lava in the middle of the stage -I didnt know you had to climb the cables at the beginning, I did a tricky jump -the bots got stuck in the lava at the end
Conclusion:
Pretty good, a few bugs here and there, but I think there could be more added(As in its so good i want more.)

Pros:
+ Realistically designed urban viaduct bridges + Realistically designed urban environment + Realistically detailed + Lava/ earthquake + Falling cars/ bridge(Is there any way to avoid being hurt?) + Finale is a good survival mode scenario + Looting(This belongs exclusively to Lousaffire)
Cons:
- Sometimes no significant signs to direct the way(-0.1) - No tank before finale(-0.0) - Limited weapon variety before finale(-0.2) - Long Long finale with not much hordes to fight(not much fun)(-0.2) - Not much excitement/fun(-0.5)
Conclusion:
Briefly this is quite professional. It's just the finale is a bit boring, tanks can't even get close to us cause we've got everything to defend and a perfect position

Pros:
+ Outstanding disaster map + Bots Navigation + Lava Eruption + L4D1 Survivors + Rescue Helicopter + Love the earthquake when it shakes, a warning + Adequate amount of supplies
Cons:
- There should have a warning for those debris falling down on survivors from bridges
Conclusion:
Overall, very outstanding map especially the part on the Lava itself whereby you have to run away from it and lots of zombies dead plus tanks lol but sad part is ( Read my cons) Nearly died but well luckily enough. Hope to see you guys create more such maps again!!!

MaddaC****101Posted this review
Pros:
Excellent amount of detail Fun events, like the falling rocks Good concept Custom music and voice acting
Cons:
Lack of ammo piles Bots stood in the lava, not caring that it was hurting them Could use some more weapon choices during the middle of the map One of the first blocked off areas, the one with the delivery truck, is glitch-able Many areas where getting out of the map is possible
Conclusion:
Nice! Solid good work, guys. A couple problems here and there but nothing that really detracts from the value, except for the bot problem. Not sure how to get around that one though, so I didn't take off too many points for it. I noticed a lot of the same cars but differently colored, but thanks to L4D2 having like 5 different car models total, I didn't take off any points.

Pros:
+ The amount of detail you managed to put in such a lengthy map is astonishing. + Overall performance was great. Did not experience any framedrops etc. + The scripted events look great and makes you panic, which is a good thing. + Music, soundscapes and sound effect were pretty amazing. + The length is perfect.
Cons:
- At the start I got immediatly attacked by several special infected. Before I even had control over my character, a charger was already charging towards us. - The finale dragged on for FAR too long. - Missing textures (and models? translucent face with a white outline and a diagonal line) at the finale. - At the start I was having issue's finding where to go. Apparently I could climb the rebars. It was kind of confusing.
Conclusion:
I really liked the map, but the finale dragged on too long. This map is definitely a recommended map!
