If you need audio for your maps i studied audio science and have a "bedroom" studio fully kitted - hardware/software inc 10's of thousands of samples, vocal replication and pitch correction to any style of "echo"/enviroment emulation that can be applied t
- PURE Quality, nothing is glitchy or irrelevant.
- Replayability, such open style map layout its is going to be VERY hard to get bored of this.
- A classic style L4D1 finale, and they were/are always the best.
- Being able to jump upon almost anything (rocks, low fences, car to truck, roofs etc giving a sense of realism (eg in 'real' life you WOULD be able to climb over a 2 foot bolder or hop a fence or jump through a hedge (in many maps this is often used as an un-imaginative way to set the maps boundaries, in this it is not needed.
- Alternate routes that interlink with each other.
- Perfect length, it could have been longer but wasn't made so JUST for the sake of it.
- Sceneary had a true realism about it eg Entering the small seaside village looked as REAL as a source engine game could be.
- Not too many or too little ammo piles or kits etc, so very well balanced.
Cons:
- Did seem a little TOO easy on advanced, felt like normal.
Thats it as far as we could tell.
Conclusion:
Theres not much else to say other than SUPERB !!!
This map has it all - great map, open/alternate routes, great AI (even bots are babreable), realy enjoyable gameplay, the finale style that made L4D1 so much fun, replayability.
We'll be playing this for some months to come thats for sure. Going into the dedicated servers rotation of addon maps for sure.
Loved this in L4D1 - love it just as much in 2.
one of the best !!
