Insane key collecting map
PROS + Find keys + Fire walls +Custom weapons, custom tank skins + Custom sounds +Custom mini boss and bosses CONS - Can be very confusing where to go -Bots are... bots and walk into fire and die - Very laggy in some sections OVERALL A fun campaign to explore and play with friends, not at all designed for expert. Many laughs to be had at all the little tricks and fire walls :)
Excellent campaign, just like the official maps
PROS + Long, challenging maps + Interesting and fun finale + Non-linear + Easy to navigate + Plenty of supplies to be found if you explore + Outro and intro + Custom voice CONS - Long walk to the finale area OVERALL A classic campaign that should be played by all!
A BIOSHOCK LETS BUILD MAP THAT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL BUT THE CONSTANT HORDE IS JUST FRUSTRATING
PROS + Beautiful, large map + Let's build ideas + Bioshock!!!! Bid Daddy's, the vending machines, HP machines etc - very cool! + Build barricades CONS - End build takes so long to build, and it crashed on me at the end (I believe) - Constant crashes!!!!! Sooo sad - Constant, and I mean CONSTANT horde....... very frustrating OVERALL This map is beautiful, I love the bioshock theme and integrating the lets build ideas. However, the crashes and constant horde downgrade it from 5stars, to just 3 IMO. Still a good map to try though, especially for all bioshock fans!
Fun little space map
PROS + Space! + Big walking man xD + Spaceship rescue + Plenty of ammo, not too challenging + Cool ideas, custom skins CONS - Obviously only 1 map, too short! Overall Nice little map, planets look awesome!
Unique, scary campaign!
PROS + Scary sounds / moments + Easy to navigate + Items everywhere, exploration is rewarded CONS - No rescue vehicle - Died many times trying to jump on that ledge from the ladder ahahh - Bots would not go by the book, so I had to kill them OVERALL Awesome map, wish it was a full campaign
Long maps, finding keys, unlocking doors
PROS + Finding keys + Plenty of supplies to support higher difficulties + Easy navigation, symbol leads the way to important items + Not linear, need to explore different pathways to proceed CONS - SI spawn right on the players in some areas - Can be quite repetitive and involves a lot of searching around and then backtracking OVERALL A long campaign that's for sure, but it involves plenty of exploration and utilises teamwork! Fun custom map to play with friends if you have a few hours :)
This review was posted before the latest release.
UNFINISHED MAP
No point to it. Unfinished, avoid.
Long, challenging campaign
PROS + Challenging + Limited supplies, but exploration is key + Decent signs to show where to go + Smooth and well optimised CONS - NO rescue closets ever - Map 3/4is waay too long OVERALL Decent campaign that is FINISHED (something rare on l4d maps) but drags on for too long making for monotonous gameplay.
Fun campaign, just with plenty of scavenging!
PROS + Unreal tournament! + Long campaign, 7 maps + Portals, jumpy things, custom skins + Smooth gameplay, didn't encounter many bugs CONS - Confusing finale, have to wait SO long for the rescue... I thought I was waiting in the wrong location - Lots of scavenging Overall Fun campaign, but you really need to play this with at least one other friend. I enjoyed it, except the confusing finale could be better :)
Has some unique ideas but wow this map is BAD
PROS + fish that hurt you + Healing pools + Designed to be challenging CONS - Does not work with bots - SO dark - No idea where to go - Unsure how to start finale - Underwater path 'puzzle' doesn't work because bots shoot the tabs and brings the path down, no way to get back up - Nothing really makes sense.... theres a window that you can break and jump through but you still must find a key to unlock a door? - Overall Don't bother with this map. It has some cool features but the dev did not replay his map to realise the problems. No sense of direction, not fun.
Nice campaign, just unfinished
PROS - Map design is nice - Decent challenge - Decent amount of throwables, not ample, but enough to keep it interesting CONS - Obviously unfinished - Map 2 is veryy long, especially on harder difficulties - Not too much direction Decent, but not something special.
Good concepts but poorly executed
PROS - Car comes smashing through near end of map 1 - Idea of unlocking door - Plenty of doors to open and places to explore - Long first and only map, at least CONS - Very unevenly balanced for expert. Definitely designed for lower difficulties - Tedious intro - Annoying having to backtrack all that way for the button, which is in the same spot every time - Confusing in the factory where to go to turn off alarm. No direction what so ever. Have to find this tiny thing that you can jump on in the corner. Very annoying for expert playthroughs with constant horde going on - Incomplete - No directional arrows what so ever Dev has some good ideas, just seems to lack the experience to put them all together, functionally. clearly abandoned but its a good map for lower difficulties for a bit of fun
unfinished, glitchy, no story
PROS - Map one works CONS - mountains in map 1??? really - Glitch spawn in safe room in map 2. had to kill each other, was stuck in the wall - when you get to the map 2 end safe room, it doesnt end. i know its unfinished but at least finish the map another incomplete work, but cant say im disappointed about that
Great campaign with an added comic book feel
PROS - Cute comic effects - Plenty of events / tanks - Well matched difficulty, even on expert - Directions are helpful, there are often many ways to get to the intended area - Throwables aren't everywhere, but are evenly matched with hordes. EG/ during large horde events, biles were conveniently more common CONS - Tank glitched in map 4, he got stuck - Bot glitched in the air and had to kill him in order to progress, map 3 OVERALL Nice campaign, definitely one of the better 'old' ones on here. Few little glitches but nothing game stopping. Maps are designed well, nothing out of the ordinary but nothing horrible. Recommended :)
huge maps, empty space, avoid
PROS - Supply amount CONS - Map one is super confusing where to go. paths lead to dead ends everywhere - Elevator doesnt work (addressed by the dev) - SI get stuck during finale - Bland open space - Without the arrows i would have given up OVERALL Dev has good map design just wayyy too big with only i think one event the whole 5 maps. Boring, but would still play other maps made by the same dev as he just show promise.
Nice little map
PROS - Midnight riders! - Plenty of space in finale area - Plenty of guns - Clear where rescue is CONS - Rescue bus is sooo slow xD OVERALL Nice little map, no real glitches troubles
Great custom textures, boss fight... just laggyyy and too long
PROS - Custom custom custom! - Map design - Boss fight - traps - Weapons - Pathways - quarantine area CONS - If you die during the boss battle you spawn in a closet behind a locked gate so no one can rescue you - Super laggy at the start (150 ping on a local server where i normally get 7). Ping settles to 80 later on and its more playable however - First part of map is too long if you're going to have a boss battle, should be split into two maps - Crashes near the traps - Had trouble downloading this as it clashed with some of my other addons but once i disabled them it worked fine OVERALL I love this idea, the map design, fight.. .EVERYTHING! Such a pity its badly optimised with high pings.Definitely still worth a play, especially if you have 4 players. Boss fight is time consuming and has no health bar but just keep shooting and you'll be right! Only rating ita 3/5 due to bad optimisation, crashing ect but if you like custom stuff, definitely try this one
AVOID. SUPPOSED TO BE FOR TESTING WEAPONS. DO NOT PLAY IF YOU WANT A CAMPAIGN
PROS - All guns and throwables?? CONS - literally pointless, if this is supposed to be out testing weapons (which i only read from a years old dev comment) - MAKE IT CLEAR in the description - First map literally takes 2 seconds - Second map you just run around wandering what to do when you've followed the lasers OVERALL bland, pointless, not even a good weapon testing map due to missing textures and horde getting stuck
Nice little map but constant horde spawns in safe room??
PROS - Wild west 'theme' While as the dev mentions theres no custom skins its nice to have a theme to the map! - Exploration to get meds/ guns/ supplies - Easy to follow - Intro - Map design CONS - Can walk on the bridge early to make it stop lowering - Constant horde spawned in the end safe room making it impossible to actually finish - quite sad :( - Only one map OVERALL Don't recommend this, not because its unfinished but simply because of the horde spawning problem at the end. Can't even finish the one map - disapppointed
Great campaign start! Pity its abandoned
PROS - Traps! Misleading supplies, rooms ect .. great idea if playing with at least one friend haha - Map design - Decent amount of supplies - Intro - Directional arrows and overall layout - Plenty of places to explore! OVERALL Despite its unfinished state, definitely worth a play. Well adjust for expert difficulty as well :)
LARGE maps filled with events, hordes, tanks
PROS - Plenty of items if you explore CONS - Confusing HUGE maps - Impossible on expert - Tanks while in the water? - Last map is way too long - Maps are bland, repeitive - Map 3??? really... multiple tanks / fire explosions and a long way to walk after - Turning off the alarm during the maze does nothing.. horde still keeps coming - Horde triggers randomly - Increased SI during the maze OVERALL Maps are far too long. Avoid
LARGE MAPS, GOOD CONCEPTS... JUST SO MANY BUTTONS / INSTANT DEATHS.. NO INDICATION WHERE TO GO
PROS - Puzzles - Resident Evil style - Lazersss - Dialogue - HUGE maps (also con) CONS - HUGE MAPS, Very frustrating due to .. see below - Instant deaths - Little to no supplies - Little to no respawn closets - Too annoying to do on expert, this is really just a puzzle map, however i would have let this one slide if it was a DECENT puzzle map -Door glitched opening on map 3??????? UGH - Bots die.... a lot.. falling through textures ect - you spawn in map one with no gun / melee... literally one pistol to fight tank until you eventually are given one OVERALL Has some great ideas... poorly executed
AMAZING, A MUST PLAY FOR ALL DUKE NUKEM FANS EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT FINISHED
PROS - Duke Nukem!!! Map design is very well done - Decent amount of supplies - Secret areas1 - Decent directions - Little cutscenes CONS - NOT FINISHED!!! OVERALL As the title says, a must play for all duke nukem fans, so sad it will never be finished
Interesting idea but too glitchy and unfinished to recommend!
PROS - Lego! - Long maps - Challenging on expert CONS - SO MANY medkits ..... wat - Invisible objects blocking the way everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Including stars, infront of witches ect - Waiting for the water to go down??? lack of instructions for event OVERALL Great little campaign, however its unfinished with no rescue.. and invisible sh** everywhere. Literally blocks you going up/down stairs. BORING.
Not a bad map, just unfinished
PROS - Large map - Lots of places to explore - Throwables CONS - Limited guns until end - Invisible stuff blocking you constantly OVERALL Not necessarily a bad map, just unpolished.. not much to it
Good start but not worth the play in this abandoned state
PROS - Map design has good ideas - Limited ammo/supplies but is good for conserving CONS - invisible things everywhereee, especially by the ladder in the barn - Invisible doors that you can see through - Like no events, just random horde spawns - Not too clear where to go at times due to random invisible things/doors blocking you - Only two maps OVERALL Would have been nice in its finished state, it does have potential
Puzzles instant deaths and more puzzles
PROS - Puzzles - Res evil! - Huge map CONS - Instant deaths. frustratingg - Only one map OVERALL I think there is a finished version of this made years later. Play that one! This one needs tweaks to make it more player-friendly as well as only being one map. The ideas behind this are great however instant deaths make it a very frustrating, trial and error playthrough. Definitely only play this map if thats what you're into!
Great maps! Why only 2?!
PROS - Varied environments - Spanish!! - Events - Good amount of tanks/witches - Supplies CONS - have to use the command to hear custom voices - Friend playing Ellis had an invisible tank (?) - Only 2 maps... older comments say this did have 4 but 2 were removed?? OVERALL Still worth playing if you're interested in trying custom content. Maps were well made, just sadly its lacking the other maps :(
GREAT BEGINNING TO A CAMPAIGN
PROS - No glitches/bugs - Supplies - Length - Well designed CONS - Only one map OVERALL Great start to a map. Sad it was abandoned.
Great intro map, well designed!
PROS - Well designed (especially being made 2009!) - Supplies - Horde levels not extreme - Beach area is nice - Clear where to go CONS - No events - No barricade in the 'tunnel' near the beginning of the map - Only one map! OVERALL I gave it 5 stars just taking into consideration as a stand alone map. Very sad its been abandoned as this dev did have some potential
Decent map with plenty of events / tanks
PROS - Events / tanks - Challenging difficulty for expert (except map 3 - see cons) - Plenty of throwables - Alternate paths - Limited ammo piles / guns made players conserve ammo but there was always ammo ahead - Map design CONS - Ladders in map 4 going down on the scaffolding are super difficult to descend!! Always fall off the damn railing -__ have to like crouch up to it - Tank in map 3 in the swamp area is way too difficult on expert. Replayed it four times and had tank there every time with too many zombies - Bot nav is terrible in entering the safe room on map 1/2. Bot would not enter the door ... took waay too long trying to get him in OVERALL - Decent map, lengthy campaign riddled with events. Recommended!
DARKNESS EVERYWHERE... LACK OF SUPPLIES AND ENDLESS HORDE BUT WITH SOME COOL IDEAS
PROS - randomised jumpscare events, pretty cool! - Attempt at keeping the horror theme alive - Dialogue CONS - Way too dark, generators weren't lit up... hard to tell if they'd light up the map like the 'hint' says - Map 2 has ENDLESS HORDE in the maze making expert impossible - THAT MAZE in map 2 is dumb... the way out is a ladder which is almost impossible to spot... not to mention with endless horde - As mentioned above, don't even bother with expert difficulty, even playing on easy was a drag - Finale has almost no supplies with such a wide open space - No actual events. Horde is just triggered pretty much constantly OVERALL Very disappointed in this campaign. It has some great, unique and fun ideas with the randomised jumpscares especially those involving witches however its just very poorly executed. Lack of supplies, textures, light, endless hordes... no real events
Unexpected old gem!
PROS - Map layout - Events were well spread out and had adequate difficulty - Water part - Directional arrows / easy to follow - Decent amount of supplies, not too much nor too little - Intro - Finale! Finally, a decent gas can finale, cans were well spaced as well as the generator and the rescue vehicle was easily spotted! Kudos to this dev from 2010 who got it right! CONS - Bots die in the short water walk (however i still enjoyed this idea) OVERALL Excellent 4 maps. Polished, can't complain. Definitely worth the play.
Nice little map
PROS - Custom voice acting - Directional arrows / easy to follow - Interesting map themes - Custom posters - Events were well placed and were well balanced (difficulty wise) on expert CONS - Very limited supplies - The run to the boat in finale was a little long for expert difficulty with no throwables + another tank OVERALL Decent little map, definitely one of the better ones on here that was made in 2010! Recommended.
Only 2 maps but the quality was unexpected!
PROS - Clear pathways - Plenty of supplies (maybe a little too much tho) - Well placed events / hordes - Overall map layout was great - Great lighting / dialogue - CONS - No closets in map 2?? - Bots walked into every witch I encountered and did not pick up med kits pills ect - Door/gate takes far too long to open - Should be a warning that players cannot camp in the generator room without losing health - No real 'finale' and at the end of map 2 there is no highlighted rescue vehicle Overall Despite the lengthy list of cons, they are not game breaking, however they do dampen this well made campaign, bringing it down to 4 stars instead of 5. Other than that, it is well made and I would recommend the download and playthrough!
Errand running zombie slaying map!
PROS - Pretty environment - Dialogue - Literally running errands and grabbing cola - Transport areas eg/ sky train and elevator, really made it feel peaceful and like running errands hahah - Custom voice (but annoying) - Doable in expert! - Easy to navigate CONS - Too many horde spawns - Is repetitive but i guess that is the whole point of this map! OVERALL Very fun map, quirky and interesting I would highly recommend this to everyone! If you just want a fun game definitely play easy, however for those who like a challenge dont be afraid to go expert!
Short map with game-ruining glitches which show its age
PROS - Lots of places (nooks and crannies) to explore and find items - Clear directional arrows, pretty much impossible to get lost - Can take the high path to get guns early on - Decent amount and placement of supplies CONS - Tanks glitch and cannot reach survivors up high - As this is an old map, it contrasts to the new textures causing flickering models to appear frequently EG/ helicopters and trucks - Ends abruptly ... I'm all for one map campaigns but they need a clear beginning middle and end, this had no real beginning or end - No dialogue / intro / story - Some buildings were bland and badly constructed EG/ Church in finale area - Lack of gun choices This Dev clearly has potential, however this map should have been the intro to a campaign not a stand alone as it lacks a beginning / middle end. It's a nice little map to play to kill some time, however, given it hasnt been updated in a long time I would recommend playing some more polished maps.
Nice little map
PROS - Cursed train! - Design CONS - Bots are silly, and dont pick up incapacitated survivors as well as they fall off constantly - Hold out area for 'finale' is cramped and boring Overall Nice little map. Bit different to some others as you're on a moving train. Would recommend a playthrough as it doesnt take long :)
Bland open maps, horrible botnav, BORING experience
PROS - Many maps - Some cool designs Cons - maps are large, open and boring - Horrible directions - Finale is glitched, no horde after first mob, then its a waiting game for the 'rescue' - 'rescue' in finale is hard to find, no hints as to where it is.. but eventually found it - Bot navigation is seriously flawed, they constantly jump off the edge and die - Bots do not pick up weapons - Rarely any ammo / med kits in safe room - Constant alerting horde - Constant tanks, making expert runthroughs pretty much impossible Overall Please avoid this campaign if you intend to enjoy your experience.
I don't believe you played the same map i did. It's so great....
Lenghty yet enjoyable campaign!
PROS - Map design - Alternate paths (MANY) - Original idea - Finale setting - Dialogue - Directions - Plenty of supplies CONS - Repetitive and boring - Some maps were a little too long.. really dragged Overall a decent campaign, very similar to an official map but its repetitive nature was a let down
Well designed campaign but with its share of bugs
PROS - Map design - Directional arrows - Plenty of supplies CONS - map 3 was super glitchy, with black lines /helicopter bugging out everywhere - Horde spawns are very close to the player and quite intense. Not good for expert Overall an ok campaign. Nicely designed maps that didnt flow together and with annoying glitches unfortunately just makes this map - average.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. A MUST PLAY INTERACTIVE, UNIQUE EXPERIENCE. FINISHED ON EXPERT
PROS - toxin! - Achievable on expert - Airstrikes - Plenty of throwables around - Voice acting - Ambulance helper - Good directions and instructions - Awesome cinematics inbetween gameplay - Bucketload of tanks! But can kill them with well timed airstrikes - Fast paced CONS - No ammo pile near the airstrike part - In the finale I spawned under the map, but this was fixed by going idle and the bot teleporting back to the starting safe room A must play campaign. An interactive experience that I have not come across on other addon maps. Very well made and fun to play. The toxin spreads fast but the damage it does and the pace is challenging but definitely not unachievable as we finished on expert in 40 mins. Highly recommended.
Long, linear maps but are well made but finale is completely bugged
PROS - LONG maps - Decent amount of supplies, extra first aids make up for the length - Achievable on expert, despite length/numerous tanks due to extra supplies - Mines / rocks - Easy to follow, good use of directional arrows - Plenty of opportunity to explore - Creative ideas - Story CONS The finale was completely bugged. Pressed the pump, but no horde/SI and nothing progressed. Restarted numerous times but the same glitch kept happening. - Maps are quite repetitive with a lot of unnecessary areas - Tanks would get stuck and die a lot OVERALL I did enjoy this campaign on expert, the Dev's creativity shines through however a very linear pathway, repetitive maps and an unplayable finale lets this campaign down. I would still recommend this to players who like long maps but skip the finale!
we need more reviewer like you
absolutely horrible. DO NOT PLAY
PROS - some nice ideas CONS - invisible walls everywhere - SI under the ground that you cant kill but keep attacking you - Glitch in map 2. found the propane tank but it wouldnt let us put it down - Long maps - Little direction - Little resources... -constant horde for no reason - Very confusing where to go - Lag spikes when horde is released Don't bother with this map. Dev has some good ideas but POORLY executed.
Badly made... very bland.. little effort
PROS - Was easy so we could finish it quicker CONS - Not really any events beside press the elevator button - Very bland, hardly any models - HUGE open boring spaces - Terrible lighting choices - Hardly any items - Tank spawns are very glitchy and often die - Invisible textures - Did not feel like Hong Kong at all - Misleading arrows - Very easy - Finale is horrible, maze in a parking lot?? - Map 2 glitch where it teleports survivors to the end safe room... SUMMARY Don't play this
Nice campaign, no glitches and was well made
PROS - Plenty of items - Varied environments - Good difficulty for expert, not too hard nor painstakingly easy - Generally good direction except the muddy swamp part - Decent amount of events CONS - Finale is a little short - NO direction in the swamp part, very unclear where to go OVERALL Nice little campaign. Maps were a little on the shorter side than expected being a 5 campaign map but it was enjoyable and I do recommend it
This review was posted before the latest release.
Truly a custom experience! Little direction is frustrating but finishing it is rewarding
PROS - Sound effects - Buttons/ traps - Map 1 has lots to offer, plenty to explore - Boss battle - LONG map 2, but it is worth it - Keys, torches and 'poe' sisters! - Plenty of items in those little pots - Exploration and backtracking is a MUST if you want to get anywhere - Focus on adventure, rather than I guess 'difficulty' - An extremely rewarding feeling once we defeated the final boss and escaped, especially after getting through map 2! - CUSTOM models - A truly 'custom' experience. NOT a copy/paste of original maps like 90% of the campaigns here CONS - A little direction in map 2 would be nice, it took FOREVER to figure out what we were missing. Had defeated 2 poe sisters but couldnt find the third because we didnt shoot the painting -__- - Bots dont shoot bosses/ poe sisters - Climbing/jumping mechanics are a bit iffy. Would be better if you could jump into the water easier without grabbing the ledge OVERALL Despite the lack of instructions in map 2, this is a great map. Yes it induces frustration but if you love puzzles/zelda and something a little bit different, I highly recommend this campaign! Thank you devs :)

Great potential but was utterly frustrating, maps dragged
PROS - 'Hidden supplies in closets, ect - Events! - Land mines - Supplies were well placed - Directions were OK CONS - Finale was way too long before reaching the radio - My team and I found the maps to be quite boring overall, nothing really made it, its own - A lot of repeating... elevators in finale, corridors in map 1, long periods in sewers with zombies from all directions - Tanks seem to always glitch and then die - If tanks didnt glitch and then die, there were sometimes 2+ tanks a map, bit ridiculous, especially for expert - Dem finale boat turns tho, 10/10 OVERALL Just was not enjoyable. Clearly a lot of effort has gone into this map which is great, however, the environment, constant events, hordes, long maps, multiple witches/tanks a map just gave a repetitive impression amongst my team and I and we just wanted to finish it. Despite this map not being my cup of tea and I wouldn't recommend it to others, I see this dev has potential and would still be interested to try out any other campaigns by them

Needs a lot of fixes
PROS - Variety of environments CONS - bots fall through the shed spawn when rescued - players fall through the elevator in finale - Constant hordes - Hordes triggered by SI and other random things - No directional arrows - Lots of wasted, empty, boring space - Little throwables Had to play this one on easy just to be rid of it, despite being an avid expert player. Avoid this until it is updated and the above bugs, fixed!
This review was posted before the latest release.
Looks promising but badly executed
PROS - Vehicle getaways at the end of each map, rather than a standard safe room - Plenty of supplies - Directional arrows were okay, with optional places to explore - Highlighted green points of interest makes it clear on where to go CONS - Finale has 4 tanks and isn't clear that you have to wait and kill the 4 tanks for the rescue boat to arrive - 3 switch power event was silly as the tank appeared right after the third switch and blocked us in the room. Bit too difficult for expert difficulty - Instructor hints linger on the screen for far too long - Maps are LONG and forgettable, unfortunately I think this campaign would have benefited from cutting bland bits and pieces out of the 5 maps to make it shorter and then fine tune up the rest as where it stands now is a boring long and frustrating mess with unorganised and backtracking events.

LONGG CAMPAIGN, SILENT HILL ATMOSPHERE, CUSTOM TEXTURES BUT NO DIRECTION~
PROS - Really has a silent hill atmosphere to it - HUGE MAPS (can be seen as a con as well) - Plenty of supplies - ABUNDANCE of places to explore - Custom skins for all SI and survivors - Custom sound effects for SI - Custom weapons - Traps, that weren't frustratingly deadly (yay) - Decent amount of revival closets in relation to the map length - The brightness / map design really worked well and did make it feel like I was in the Silent Hill universe. CONS - Finale was a little disappointing but I understand its connection with the rest of the maps - Maybe a bit more added directions for finding keys / cards to open doors would be beneficial - The wide open map in the town is a little too much, I understand the point is to be lost in the fog and find your way through trial and error... but that map is too vast and most paths go on FOREVER... before hitting a dead end and have to backtrack and find another POSSIBLE path. Annoying. -Grainy' textures really irritated my eyes after playing for so long Overall This campaign really stands out, and as the dev description says, players need patience to be able to complete this campaign (especially in one sitting) but it is rewarding! I recommend playing with at least 2 other players and splitting up when it comes to different paths. Maybe not the traditional way to play a L4D2 campaign but with this addon, it definitely works best. Otherwise you will struggle for what feels like forever to try and find the right path to follow.
GREAT CAMPAIGN!
PROS - Custom music - Custom giant tank - Health vending machines - Highly detailed with placement of dead special infected corpses ect - Helpful directional arrows - Plenty of supplies and places to explore - Crafting molotovs/pipes CONS - Second last map was quite short and very easy - Bots jumped off the raft in finale in the deep water and died -_- Overall Great campaign, better than the first beldurra. Highly detailed and fun campaign. Highly recommended!!
GREAT, UNIQUE CAMPAIGN, HOWEVER 'XEN' FINALE IS UNCLEAR
PROS - Map design - Long maps - Tanks/ witches - Clear layout (except finale) - Decent amount of supplies - CONS - XEN finale was a HUGE letdown. Played the whole campaign on expert, but when you signal the rock and run down. A sign pointsan explosion barrel that doesn't explode by shooting it. Instead you just have to wait and kill two tanks (like a normal finale) HOWEVER this is not communicated to the players. It seems as if you can just run down when the rock comes and shoot the barrel to progress- NOPE. And playing this on expert whilst tanks chase you and you have no idea what to do, was horrible. - Some of the instructor hints don't go away, they keep saying to use a PC, switches that have already been pressed keep re-highlighting.
AMAZING. DETAILED. BALANCED ON EXPERT, UNIQUE MAP
PROS - Painkiller! - BEAUTIFULLY DETAILED - Long map - Balanced on expert difficulty - Sped-up tanks - Clear where to go - Places to explore - Jumpscare maze - Plenty of items - Gorgeous colour scheme - Alike dark carnival but has a darker theme CONS - That it wasn't a full campaign I am hoping that this isn't a dead project and the full campaign will be out, if its anything like this it will be great! Great work devs.
Fun campaign, but the map design and finale is disappointing
Pros - Long campaign - Snowy environment - Adequate amount of medkits and supplies - Balanced for expert difficulty - Good amount of direction CONS - Map design is a mess with invisible walls blocking players everywhere, random things blocking the way ect - Finale is very confusing. never told which gate opens -Finale glitched the first few playthroughs and wouldnt do anything after the button was pushed and the prompt remained on screen - Very clunky intro with the bad camera angles - Finale rescue is confusing. The wrong part of the train is highlighted
Extremely buggy, not enough items, not clear where to go
PROS - Lots of areas to explore CONS - Glitchy textures constantly reappearing in map 2, spawning onto the player - never clear where to go - map difficulty on expert is unevenly balanced - finale is way too long - rescue point in finale is unclear - 'start the pumps' keeps flashing the whole time in map 1 - no highlights on important items Definitely a campaign to avoid. Unfortunately the dev seems aware of these issues and how much they affect player enjoyment but chooses to ignore and keep it the way it is.
OVERLY SPACIOUS AND RIDDLED WITH GLITCHES...
PROS - Long maps - Found it easy to find where to go despite the large areas - Possible on expert.. - Plenty of supplies - Places to explore -' Traps' CONS - Tank glitches in finale - Large empty areas with nothing in them.. - Finale area is boring - Hardly any respawn closets - Train in finale is way too slow to open the doors and tank spawns practically on top of us... making expert difficulty almost impossible - Zombies spawn ONTO or very close to players - Fake doors that open awkwardly.... blocking players - Elevator in third(?) map is silly, you cant take the stairs as they break and you fall... but you have to wait for the elevator to go up one flight of stairs. It often gets stuck and doesnt move.. if someone missed the elevator you have to call it again and thus fight the horde again...

LARGE MAP CAMPAIGN, FULL OF ROOMS TO EXPLORE
PROS - Focus on exploration -' Highway theme is consistent - No bot nav errors - Tank in every map - Fair amount of supplies - Added extras like burglary alarms ect CONS - Stats are bugged - Not enough direction - Radio in finale has no audio
This review was posted before the latest release.
CHALLENGING, HIGHLY DETAILED AND LONG CAMPAIGN. FINISHED ON EXPERT
PROS - Well balanced for harder difficulties - Item placement compensates difficulty - Clear where to go - Events actually make sense eg/ start elevator, turn on turbines ect - Unique finale with the disconnecting cables, however this was quite difficult on expert with only 2 players .. but achievable - Bot navigation was good - Large wide open spaces - Places to explore and find supplies - Game instructor hints were very helpful Such a nice well rounded campaign. Cannot fault it and greatly enjoyed playing.. Highly recommended
Thanks :)
FUN, DETAILED RIDE WITH OPTIONS TO ENABLE OR DISABLE HORDE
PROS - Zombie spawn option - Highly detailed - SI models incorporated into ride - Alike the real ride - Sound effects - Loading poster is brilliant - When walking, it is clear where to go - Laid back atmosphere CONS - Survivor dialogue would be nice - After playing the map with walking and taking the boat, there is not much more to explore to encourage another playthrough
LONG CHALLENGING MAP
PROS - Inspired by stalker! - Have to explore to find medkits ect - Large areas - Difficulty as stated by the dev is extreme but it is doable and not a con as this seems to be the devs point of this map - Note at beginning that tells players where the supplies have gone, haha CONS - Finale area has 4 tanks?? That was a little extreme after everything else in the map - Lacked any attention grabbing events/scenes/textures. Just fell flat in my opinion and became boring Although I do prefer to complete campaigns on expert only, I had to give this one a miss and played Normal. Even if you make it to the finale area, you have a normal finale hold off but with 4+ tanks and infinite horde. When playing on a lower difficulty it was a much better experience however this map lacked attention grabbing detail to make it stand out from other maps and therefore fell short in my opinion. Despite this, it is still a great map especially if you're looking for a challenge.
Fun little campaign, but a bit confusing where to go
PROS - Bowling! - Outro - Map 1 ending - Map design is simple but well done CONS - Finale is very easy and had no tanks - No medkits until halfway through map 2? - Bowling event is very confusing, not sure what to do
Solid, well designed campaign.. a must play!
PROS - Custom voice - Use of appropriate survivor dialogue - Custom graffiti - Directional arrows, very clear where to go - Map 4 saferoom idea is very nice! Collect supplies then run a bit further to the safe room - Map length is perfect - Well balanced difficulty, played on expert with one other player and it was achievable - Finale was challenging with a scavenge + hold off event but was doable on expert Overall this campaign was great, well designed, no bot nav issues with a RARE balanced difficulty and no overload on tanks like most maps. Very fun to play on expert and nice custom voice acting. Highly recommended!

Tanks galore but with an unplayable finale
PROS - Tanks, tanks and more tanks - Clear on what generators to use due to highlights - Fair amount of supplies - Decent map design -Long maps - Lots of events CONS - Bot nav on ladders is bad, they jump off and die - Finale crashed on all 3 of us players trying to host, making it unplayable - Clear directions on the first few maps but not on the later ones eg/ map 4, very hard to see that open gate to the saferoom
Ill have to check out this campaign and see why it's crashing. Used to work great. :)
NICE IDEAS BUT BADLY DONE AND PLENTY OF GLITCHES
PROS - Gnome ideas - Puzzles - Abundance of supplies CONS - Finale finding the c4 (which is not displayed as the objective) and hard to find - Slowmo is unnecessary, annoying and goes for too long - Very easy to throw the gnomes through the floor, making us having to restart the map - Constant hordes, have to play on easy :/ - Very confusing! - Need to play with at least another player, bots are useless, bot nav is horrible Overall Nice ideas with the gnome but is very confusing and has plenty of glitches/lag in all levels. Desperately need fixing
NICE,EASY AND SHORT CAMPAIGN
Pros - Map design is great - Directional arrows - Tanks every map - Supplies are everywhere! CONS - Event in map 2 does not alert the horde (says this in the map description) - A little too easy, especially finale and on expert - Bots dont pick up medkits in map 1 OVERALL Nice little campaign, took around 40 minutes on expert and was not incapacitated once. Could make a few minor changes to make it a little more complex but other than that the map functions as designed to and is great to explore
LONG CHALLENGING 'STORY' CAMPAIGN BUT IS RIDDLED WITH GLITCHES
PROS - Intro - Option to skip the (LONG) intro - Voice acting - Interactive objects have a white glow, making it easy to identify - Ending - Map design is nice - 'Commentary' through pop-up writing on various things throughout the campaign - HEAVY focus on story and it is done very well - Focus on exploration, eg/ option at the start to find medkits or continue through the map CONS - MAP 3 does not work at all - Horde glitches on every map - Map 4 is way too long, have to wait 5 minutes and then run the length of a normal map??? - Map 4 consists of standing around for a long time with no horde.. - Cant remember the map number, but when you have to set off an alarm to pass through the forest, the alarm has 3 waves which you cannot pass because you are blocked by ingame writing. Very unclear what to do, just have to wait it out until the writing disappears (once again, it is a very long wait) - Little directions - Having to find the key in the finale is annoying, almost 4 floors to search OVERALL This campaign has LOADS of potential. The long nature of this campaign and lack of directions makes this campaign frustrating and boring when this should not be the case! It has so much to offer but it is unpolished and map 3 is completely unplayable. Please fix the mentioned cons and I will replay again! Other than that, very excellent mapping/story and ideas, I just hope this is not the final version of this would-be excellent campaign.

AMAZING CAMPAIGN, SHORT BUT DEFINITELY MEMORABLE!
PROS - First aid stations - Map design is extremely well done - Finale has perfect timing between hordes, - Plenty of supplies - WOW! That intro, best i've seen in a long time! - Usage of survivor dialogue - Lighting - Despite little directional arrows, it is clear where to go - Rewards survivors for exploration CONS - Map 1 is a little short This little fun, unique campaign far exceeded my expectations! Extremely well done to the dev(s)
MAP DESIGN IS OK AND ORIGINAL BUT GLITCHY HORDE SPAWNS, INVISIBLE WALLS AND NO DIRECTION MAKE THIS LESS THAN AVERAGE
PROS - Codes is a nice idea, however there are simply too many to be enjoyable - Overall, map design is ok - Talking zombies? CONS - map 1 is extremely long compared to the rest - Maps are boring - Extremely confusing on where to go, no direction - NO ammo / guns for most of the first map - Not really an option for expert players - Horde spawns directly behind the player - Lots of textures in walls, floating or missing ect - Tank spawns are glitchy and are often stuck Overall this dev has potential to make a nice campaign. However this one ended up with random models placed everywhere that make no sense and has clearly not been tested at all.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE MAPPING, HORDE SPAWNS, ITEM PLACEMENT, VERY BORING. AVOID
CONS - No direction on where to go, only good if you enjoy mazes - Maps are way too long, almost impossible for expert players - Buggy, awkward to jump over things - Absolutely horrible environment, boring, bland and repetitive sums it up - Hardly any throwables - Bots dont pick up items - Even the mazes are badly made - Finale ends in a safe room? There are MUCH better campaigns on L4D maps, don't bother with this one unless it is redone.

ITEMS ARE TOO BRIGHT, HORDE SPAWNS ON TOP OF PLAYER, FULL OF GLITCHES
PROS - Nice and easy? CONS - SO many copy pastes from blood harvests - Horde spawns on top of OR right next to the player, same with SI - Whole environment is bland and boring - Finale makes no sense, you call a radio when the rescue vehicle is there the whole time but when it says 'rescue is here' it just leaves. - Overly bright / blinding items. - Hordes are constantly alerted for no reason - Tunnels are buggy, constantly recrouching ect
This review was posted before the latest release.
Nice ideas, maps are well designed but too much horde and spawns are too close to player
PROS - Good amount of throwables - Places to explore - McDonalds / custom content - Map design is nice CONS - Map 2 is way too difficult for expert, horde spawns right on top of the player and is constant - SI spawns within sight - Finale has 3 tanks? - Map 2 lasers confusing, they don't actually hurt the player - Tank spawns are horrible, in areas that you cant run around much
Map 2 - Lasers are trigger for hordes
COPY AND PASTES ORIGINAL VALVE ROOMS, FULL OF GLITCHES. AVOID
PROS - Snow CONS - TOO EASY - Supplies are literally, EVERYWHERE, medkits, everywhere... - Intro camera angle is way off - Map 3 restarted us in the ending safe room when we didnt even complete the map - Finale is so buggy, no horde comes, no tank comes - Survivors fall through the finale train floor (somehow) and die immediately - Horrible placement of ammo, most of the time its too much and then randomly theres hardly any OVERALL Horrible campaign, clearly forgotten about full of issues. avoid
WELL DONE CAMPAIGN WITH NO MAJOR ISSUES. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
PROS - Has its own little story - Outro, hahaha - Supplies are everywhere if you explore, except on the finale which supplies are everywhere you look - Good direction, had mazes with no direction but thats the point, was fun :) - Long maps - Nice atmosphere - Maps well designed CONS - none OVERALL Great campaign, achievable on expert campaign with only one other player. Great for some fun and a bit of spookyness during that sewer part :) Highly recommended
Nice short campaign. No glitches
PROS: - Clear on where to go, even without direction - Lots of rooms to explore - Good atmosphere - Bot navigation was fine - Supplies are abundant, just need to search for them - Even difficulty for expert. Not very hard nor too easy - Map design is great CONS - Finale is too short, can enter rescue before the second tank comes OVERALL Really nice campaign, no major faults of issues. Highly recommend for a bit of fun :)
AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE
PROS - Defending wall idea, i guess? CONS - Brightness too high - VERY confusing on what to do - Takes a few minutes - 'Avoid the fire zone' actually means go behind the mountains to avoid insta death - 'rescue' is a safe room - NO help on where the 'rescue safe room' is - Tanks keep spawning - Even if the wall is highly damaged... an air strike happens to help you out??? Avoid.
GREAT IDEAS, NICE ATMOSPHERE BUT VIRTUALLY UNPLAYABLE. DO NOT RECOMMEND
PROS: - Atmosphere - Map layout is nice - Generally clear where to go CONS - Map transitions broken.... have to return to lobby and pick the map manually.... - Finale is bland - Bots do not pick up anything - Bot navigation is glitchy, had to often kill them to proceed... - Map 2 with the elevator buttons is confusing. Why can you set off the horde for the elevator if you have to power up the elevator first? what?????????? - Why is there 3 buttons for the elevator anyway - Horde spawns right infront of player - Horde glitches and stands still before disappearing Don't recommend. Horribly done. Clearly not tested at all. Avoid

DECENT IDEAS, BUT HORRIBLY EXECUTED. PLENTY OF ROOM FOR IMPROVAL
PROS - Choice system - Francis falling in map 1 - Custom balloon / McDonalds model - Sacrifice finale - Generally clear where to go, except see cons CONS - Clunky intro - Players have to jump into water and slowly drown, then are greeted by a tank as soon as getting out of the water???? - Never clear when you have to jump into the water - Voice acting is clear but too much static - Bot navigation is absolutely HORRIBLE. One of the bots refused to enter the 'sunny' safe room in map 1, resulting in us having to kill him in order to proceed - Vents are very annoying to get into, have to crouch and jump just to get into it?? - Horde will completely glitch and then disappear... - Bots will fall off ladders, ledges, ect Has a lot of good ideas, but badly done. It seems way too rushed.
BRUTAL MAZE MAP THAT FOCUS' ON TRIAL AND ERROR WITH CONSERVATION OF SUPPLIES
PROS - 'hell' like environment - Maze! - Supplies weren't in excess but are found throughout the map. Conservation is a must! - A LOT of tanks and witches, spawning from both directions - VERY rewarding feeling when finding the safe room in map 1 CONS - Tanks got stuck a lot - Possible, but frustrating to play in expert - Finale was extremely easy in comparison to the first map and quite clear where to go Overall, I appreciate what this map has to offer in terms of difficulty and being a little bit different to the standard campaign. I wouldn't recommend this on expert without a full team and its essential that the players are prepared to die a lot and restart, thus having plenty of time to play is a must! Other than that, there isn't much to say about this campaign, but if you are prepared to fight endless hordes, specials, tanks, witches and have no idea where to go, you should try this map!

NICE LITTLE CAMPAIGN BUT FINALE IS A LETDOWN
PROS - Option to remove barricade to get more supplies - Decent amount of throwables - Dev has incorporated a lot of survivor dialogue - Events were even in difficulty, not too difficult with extreme horde nor too little - Map 1 and 2 were well made CONS - Bot navigation is everywhere, especially in finale - Finale gas cans are WAY too spread out, making it very boring - No highlight on the bus in finale, all survivors were standing around the bus but nothing happened, went and explored, came back later (still no highlight around bus) but it ended this time - Second tank glitched in finale - In map 2, after the alarm is turned off, it is very confusing where to go in the Diner as the door with stairs descending looks just like a closet door with no arrows ect Nice little generic map, nothing is really custom but is in general, well made. The finale was a huge let down however, just too many gas cans ALL OVER the map. Very boring running back and forth. Otherwise, map 1 and 2 were very good and I would recommend.
Thanks for the review! I can always improve with player feedback. Be sure to check my other maps!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, FULL OF CUSTOM CONTENT
PROS: - Nice intro - Nice addition of the dead l4d2 survivors - Map lengths aren't overly long but are the perfect medium - Original Resident evil music - Resident evil voice overlay - Maps are pretty much spot on with the original - Choice of turning off the music / elevator teleportation for bots - Timed finale, very nice concept and actually challenging! Quite different for a change - Sound effects - Logical item placement - Plenty of supplies - Directional arrows make it easy on where to go - Map environments are extremely well done. - Laser scene CONS - When climbing over the cars in finale, I found myself getting stuck A LOT which wasted time This campaign is definitely one to remember. Full of custom content and being amazingly similar to the resident evil movie. Very well polished and didn't encounter any bugs. Played on expert campaign with one other player and although I did find it a bit on the easy side, it was a very rewarding experience and I can see myself replaying this. Good work dev, very rare to find a polished, enjoyable and CUSTOM campaign these days. Top job!

NO MEDKITS IN SAFE ROOM, INVISIBLE WALLS.. AVOID THIS CAMPAIGN IF YOU ARE AFTER A POLISHED CAMPAIGN
PROS: - spacious environments - Industry theme throughout all maps - Exploration to find the medkits ...... however this gets a bit ridiculous in the later maps - A LOT of throwables, which are well needed - Long, challenging maps - Attempt at alternate paths CONS: - No medkits in the safe rooms. At least one or two would have been fine - Some event switches don't have any highlights, making it near impossible to find - Finale map is WAY TOO LONG to reach the radio, with an event before you even reach the radio as well. Not a good idea - Finale environment is bland, and only 2 throwables that I could find on this map, whereas all the other maps are over stocked (?) - Some maps have 2 tanks in them and 2 witches - Invisible walls - Map 2's event is possible to avoid because you can just jump over the fence, ha - Confusing layout at most times, even with the odd directional arrow here and there - Finale helicopter makes no sound, no highlight, doesn't move and displays no message on the screen, it just arrives suddenly and the player is expected to find it - Bots fall off ladders and incap themselves - Bots don't pick some medkits Overall: Avoid this campaign if you want to play a good campaign, if you're an enthusiast like me then I recommend it but it is severely lacking in a lot of areas.

- Some maps have 2 tanks in them and 2 witches Or, in my case on the second round of the first map, 5 witches. All in the building.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING IDEAS, BUT NOT WITHOUT BUGS
PROS: - Easy to follow - Funny - A LOT of supplies (but is needed with multiple tank spawns) - Stargate!! - Have to wait for other players to go through the stargate - Voice acting - LOTS of custom models - Achievable on expert difficulty CONS: - If you try and load the game from map 4 it crashes - Crashes to desktop just after entering the finale rescue Highly recommend this campaign for stargate lovers! The dev has managed to blend l4d2 gameplay with the stargate theme quite flawlessly, brilliantly done but i've tried to not say too much to avoid spoilers so please play for yourself

CHALLENGING CAMPAIGN WITH LOTS TO OFFER
PROS: - Special infected preserved bodies / evolution - Fair amount of supplies - Clear directions - Challenging on expert - Varied environments - Relates to the title 'Source of Infection' - Finale setup CONS: - Endless horde in map 4 elevator event and map 2 Conclusion Highly recommended. It's a near flawless and challenging campaign that describes the source of the outbreak through the environments. Great work.
UNIQUE MAP DESIGN WITH GREAT ENVIRONMENTS
PROS: - Starting safe room is a very nice idea, loved it! - Explosion with 'danger' signs - Map layout is very well done, quite different yet still clear - Decent length for a 3 map campaign - Logical ideas behind maps, army bunker, evac safe rooms ect CONS - Finale glitched and the radio could not be started... had to restart - Radio voice is very faint and has no blue outline - Tight corridors are very difficult to move, was getting stuck on invisible things a lot - Colour scheme was a little off, bright blue lights coming from zombies (?)

Great campaign, everything works flawlessly
- Plenty of direction - Perfect amount of supplies - playable on expert and with 2 bots - finale was very interesting with a nice environment although I could not find any throwables? Overall I have no real negative connotation for this map as it all worked pretty well and I appreciate the effort that went into making this :)
WOW. FULL OF INTERESTING GAMEPLAY, IDEAS, THEMES AND PUZZLES. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.
There is so much to say about this long campaign, but I will try avoid any spoilers. All in all, it's great, plenty of laughs to be had, items to be found, interesting little puzzles to solve. I never had a moment when I thought 'well I have no idea what to do now!' because the instructor hints are very helpful and tell you exactly what you need to do, which is much appreciated in big maps with lots of item searching and combining! The only sort of negative comment I will make is it took my team and I a very long time to find the wrench as we thought we could not enter the train until we had got all of the items, maybe the train door should be highlighted blue so it is easier to see? I especially loved the inclusion of the l4d1 characters, the short little cut scenes. This was great work, I really hope to see more from this dev in the future as doing long maps and making them all function without any faults is a hard thing to do!

I really apreciate this review :D ... In a couple of weeks I'll upload a new campaign, this time based in Resident Evil 2 and will contains both sides of story... Side A with L4D2 survivors and side B with L4D1, hope you play and enjoy it!

DO NOT PLAY UNLESS YOU WANT TO PLAY A CAMPAIGN WITH AN UNFINISHED FINALE.
The maps were nice and detailed, the path was clear yet there were many extras to explore. I was really enjoying this until the finale, which the dev DID NOT MENTION in the description that the finale is UNFINISHED and you can not enter the helicopter, but rather, you can walk right through it. Was a very disappointing 'end' to what was seeming like a very well-rounded and fun campaign, but after knowing it is unfinished and most likely never will be finished, it is one to avoid for those people who like to complete campaigns.
GREAT, BEAUTIFUL, ATMOSPHERIC CAMPAIGN
- Great custom header letting you know the maps name - The colour scheme is very beautiful yet melancholy, it suits perfectly - Finding the items in the stores, battery and wheel ect is great, with changing spawn locations it isn't tiresome if you have to replay it This whole campaign looked very professional and well done. It is challenging yet playable on expert and with bots. Has great replayable value, I look forward to playing this again! Quite unique

DO NOT ATTEMPT: THERE IS NO RESCUE. FINALE IS BROKEN, CANNOT FINISH
Despite the lack of direction, no rescue closets and the many other problems and tedious maps I decided to give this campaign a shot. With no direction on how to actually proceed (press e on the sparking machines) this took LOTS of time. Eventually, my team made our way through the maps to the finale. Doing every thing we had to, eventually we arrived in the inner sanctum, which is what I believe it is called, but you cannot advance from here. There is nothing to do here and no way you can proceed. It seems as if the dev has just abandoned this campaign and did not think to put a note in the description about this. Very poor effort.
Decent but has nothing really new to offer
A nice little campaign with no glitches/bugs No tanks in the finale is an interesting choice but with infinite horde this is appreciated.
FUN, VERY CHALLENGING CAMPAIGN FOR EXPERT PLAYERS
PROS: - dark atmosphere - The rotatory blades in the finale, ha - The map with the elevator, sometimes the horde glitches and nothing spawns (but this was a much needed relief and time to recover) - Lasers - scattered supplies throughout - CONS - The holes in the ground that lead to an instant death during horde is prettyy brutal - During the indoor maps it is extremely easy to get lost due to lack of direction OVERALL: A nice unique campaign that has a lot to offer and a long gameplay time but I would strongly advise to not play with all bots!
This review was posted before the latest release.
OK.
PROS: - A nice variety of environments - Really enjoyed the finale CONS - The tank spawns are pretty horrible, very easy to trap survivors and are unavoidable. After restarting a few times on expert, the campaign lost its appeal to me with those tank spawns
Bad
Boring environments Full of glitches, spawned under the map No point having 6 maps if none have anything to offer. Quality over quantity!
JUST NO.
The title 'no way out' describes this perfectly, with missing textures EVERYWHERE, making pink walls, floors and ceilings a horrible experience to play along with hurting your eyes! Boring and repetitive Finale needs fixing, an ammo pile is right beside fire in a very awkward position Medkits are also in a very awkward position which you have to jump over and into a silly place. Medkits should be easily accessible in a finale! If players stand up the top (where rescue comes) horde spawns on the same platform but BEHIND YOU. Bots have no hope surviving the finale.

DECENT BUT LONG MAPS MAKE EXPERT GRUELING TO PLAY
PROS: - The map detail, including the wide open grassy places and the underground area is great - Custom tank skins - 2 tanks at once but in a large area was fun - CONS: - EXTREMELY LONG and frustrating to play - NO closets at all - Combine the above 2 points with witches, multiple tanks in the same map and very little health supplies = rage quit worthy - Map 1 is VERY short and easy compared to the others - A long walk to the finale area, annoying if you have to restart it - Rescue helicopter in the finale is placed in a very awkward area which is hard to navigate to. OVERALL: I'd love to give this a better rating and I'm all for challenging campaigns and understand not everyone plays on expert difficulty but please consider those that do and add at least one respawn closet per map or something else equivalent.
I totally agree with you on closet point as i am SP mode player who really suffered to get my bots to finale area and even to 2nd hordes wave before 2 tanks spawning, but couldn't finish it on Expert... So long way to Radio station and the ******* Special infected spawn in 3 at once not 2 specials but 3 ... This is hell
AMAZING.
WOW. The amount of effort that has clearly gone into this campaign pays off! PROS: - SO many new and interesting models - Interactive displays - Unique finale, a very nice and more logical take on a scavenge event - The ride is entertaining with great sound effects and no glitches/bugs - Plenty of places to explore with good amount of supplies scattered throughout. NO CONS Having played the Indiana Jones campaign by one of the devs I must say I am huge fan and love both of these masterpieces. THANKS.
Excellent unique experience!
PROS: - So many unique aspects to this map that I did not expect but I do not want to go into detail to avoid spoilers - One of the few maps with a basic storyline - Gnome event and those witches in the finale :D - If the elevator closes in the finale, it is possible to climb up the ladder without being stuck forever - Very nice variety of environments and events. CONS: - Finale is pretty difficult on expert with bots and I couldn't find many items(?)
Average
An OK map. Clear directions of where to go and doable with bots and on expert difficulty. Some floating items around and bots wouldn't get medkits in some safe rooms. The finale was a bit of a let down with a very boring atmosphere and very bland.
Pros:
- Alternative pathways - Scattered items - Plenty of places to explore - Nice tower in the finale - No major glitches
Cons:
- Bot infected spawn at the same time, so there are times when there is no special infected at all, then they all come at once. - Extremely similar to blood harvest (same saferoom ect) - Too many blocked areas which look accessible but are really blocked for no reason - Too generic - Tank spawns too far away in the finale, extremely easy to kill
Conclusion:
Overall an OK campaign with no major glitches however there is a lot of work still needing to be done on the texture and detail of this piece as it is too generic and is extremely similar to the blood harvest campaign. None the less, it is still enjoyable

Official
A nicely created campaign which seems like an original valve creation.
Pros:
- Intro - Dialogue - Decent layout - Flooding was well textured and realistic - Scattered items throughout both maps - Actually represented a school environment - Custom voice - Easy to navigate - Wooden planks barricading the safety area which could then be removed, added to the realistic effect - Tanks/ witches well placed
Cons:
- In map 1, sounds lagged? - In map 2 there was no horde after the barrel exploded despite it saying 'here they come' - Lacking ammo piles in map 2 - Lacking originality (Although this is your first attempt at a L4D2 campaign so this is expected and it is still a great achievement)
Conclusion:
I'm not sure why people are complaining that it's short, since it does say in the description that it is a 'short 2 map backtracking campaign', however, I quite enjoyed the length and despite having to run back it didn't have a repetitive feel to it, which is rare with this style of campaign. It's a bit difficult to play on expert with only one person carrying the fuel cans and such, but it was still achievable in the end without having to lower the difficulty. A few more added details to create a unique experience could be beneficial, yet it is still a great campaign and I would recommend it especially if you're looking only for a short campaign.

Well polished campaign which stays true to its military / desert theme plus adds a unique story
PROS: - Intro - Clear direction - Zombies everywhere, but are limited during events - Alternative paths - Custom voice acting is very well done - Option to turn off the voice acting if the player wanted to - Custom music - All maps are very well designed - Story - Bright/dark areas are well adjusted - Smokey/desert haze is nice addition CONS - Finale is extremely easy even on expert - Computer data download is confusing, the instructor hints kept telling me to download the data which I had already done plus I didn't see any direction telling me to backtrack so I wasted a long time waiting around that area trying to download the data again and again
Pros:
- Based on fear! - Intro + outro - Can open lockers - Interactive phone calls - Alternative pathways - Easy to follow - Radio in the beginning of map 2 - Wide open spaces in the finale
Cons:
- Tanks get stuck in most places - Boring finale - Finale is too easy, most places had only one entry so the survivors could easily camp there
Conclusion:
Not a bad campaign although it needed to have a more spooky atmosphere like Fear.
Pros:
- Official looking poster - Detailed - Map length - Decent amount of ammo - Dialogue
Cons:
- Intro's dialogue is the exact same as the parish - Confusing map layout, easy to keep walking in circles - Not challenging
Conclusion:
Nice campaign with no major glitches but it lacks creativity.
Pros:
- Funny dialogue - Intro - 'Targets' for Grenade Launchers - Extremely creative - Long campaign - Teamwork is essential - Long falls don't hurt survivors - Grenade launchers bounce off targets, gives a portal like feel to it - Randomized numbers plus special infected spawns behind yellow pictures/doors - Original - Decent bot navigation considering the many difficult areas - Jukebox in map 4 LOL - Challenging - Finale is a mix of everything - Randomness
Cons:
- No stats
Conclusion:
Amazing campaign with no major faults. It's full of randomness and creativity which stands out from all other maps. The questionable ethics series is my favourite by far, highly recommended.

This review was posted before the latest release.
Pros:
- Challenging - Extremely unique and creative - Space jockeys! - Special infected being launched towards the survivors - Gravity - Long maps - Environment - Easy to understand and follow without any instructions - Custom bosses - Perfect amount of supplies

Another creative campaign to add to the authors list of amazing maps. It lives up to it's reputation and stands out from others

This review was posted before the latest release.
Pros:
- Creative - Custom music - Glyphs - Fog - Confusing - Hidden glyphs are randomized each time - Eerie atmosphere - Upside down room - Witches - Custom boss
Cons:
- Parts of the blown up petrol station float above ground - No medkits in the boss area - Intro is too long if you have to restart the map
Conclusion:
A decent, unique map but it can be very frustrating if you have to restart it, especially if you get up to the boss.
Impeccable detail with an atmospheric focus rather than gameplay
A unique campaign which was such a pleasure to play. PROS: - WOW the impressive detail and accuracy to the real ride is spot on! - No issues with bots on the ride - Didn't drag out any unnecessary game play to make it longer (ONLY AROUND 20-30 MINUTES ) - Cool sound effects - Fully immersive environment, we found ourselves just trying to look around us more often than shoot zombies! Cons - The horde spawns extremely fast and close during the scavenge event making it difficult for expert players. One of my favourite campaigns I've played thus far.
Pros:
- Can break weak doors with explosive cans - Creative - Detailed - Long maps - Can make Molotov's and pipe bombs! - Picking locks - Electrified water - Scattered supplies - Decent bot navigation - Perfect difficulty - Upside down boomer on the tree in the finale? LOL - You have to get to a 'safe place' not an actual rescue
Cons:
- Need more ammo in map 1 around the sewer area - Zombies keep spawning in map 1's saferoom even once you're inside - Difficult to start the power in the finale, even when everyone is inside it still says 'wait for others to be ready' - No dialogue
Conclusion:
Despite being only 3 maps, it feels much longer and it's a lot better than expected. Well worth the download!

CHALLENGING, YET GREAT CAMPAIGN
PROS: - Plenty of instructions and clear direction - Fair amount of supplies - Very different events compared to other campaigns - Nice finale with a different take on just running to rescue - Varied environments - Slow motion - Nice loading screen artwork This campaign is amazing. I couldn't think of any faults that I came across, it has plenty of new ideas that will surprise you, with and long/ challenging maps. Definitely worth a playthrough.

- Bad lighting on the poster - Areas are too bright - Walls glitch in map 4 - Survivor dialogue is bad, they all talk over each other - Everywhere looks the same - Difficult to follow - Tank glitches - Most confusing layout - Bot navigation is glitchy

A unique idea for a campaign featuring some beautiful scenery

Conclusion:
It would be an okay campaign but because it's in the natural disasters contest, it's lacking originality and the overall theme of natural disasters.

Conclusion:
Overall it's a very nice campaign, there's a few issues but nothing really major. The finale was a bit difficult, but you stayed true to the titanic theme, so I guess it has to be challenging. Although there was no iceberg, it would be cool if you added it to the outro haha :P

LONG CAMPAIGN WITH HIGH POTENTIAL BUT FINALE IS A HUGE LET DOWN
PROS: - Long and challenging campaign on expert but is achievable - Detailed - Placement of items is fair - Police car alarms / tree falling in in map 1 - Custom graffiti - Easy to follow, even with little directions CONS - Finale has a 'blue screen' glitch forcing players to restart it to go back to normal - 4th map sewer event is too long - Finale did not end even when all 13 cans were retrieved and emptied into car, we had to click on a pile of dead zombie bodies BEFORE putting the cans in (?) - Finale map scavenge event is way too spread out, with the car being on the opposite side of the map and with 2 tanks at once - Horde spawns extremely close to you when starting events Overall, the first 5 maps proved challenging but not impossible and was carried out with little faults, however with the amount of glitches discovered in the finale brings down my rating of this map immensely
Pros:
- Perfect doom setup converted into l4d2 game style - Environment - Custom doors, guns, water ect - Explosive barrels - Colour coded keycards - Easy to follow - Creative
Cons:
- Not enough horde - No challenge - Needed a tank and more Special Infected - No stats - Too short - L4d2 sound effects still play while in the credits
Conclusion:
Decent recreation of Doom but lacks challenge.
Pros:
- Dialogue, hints where to go and suitable with events - Intro + outro - Instructions and guiding arrows - Creative ideas (falling stairs, holding down e to open doors) - Environment - Sliding doors - Easy to follow (flares) - Plenty of places to explore - Custom wall graffiti - Challenging - Map length - Clear rescue - In the finale, supplies are well spread out - Bot navigation is okay
Cons:
- Map 4 is a bit bland and boring compared to the other maps - Needs a bigger variety of weapons such as magnum and other tier 2 guns
Conclusion:
Pretty good campaign, no major flaws and obviously more pros then cons! Lot's of custom objects and creative ideas.
Pros:
- Eerie, dark - Names disappear - Teleporting, very well done - Can't see anything in the background - Scattered supplies - Directional arrows in places most needed - Creative and original idea - Challenging
Cons:
- No custom poster - Some more adrenaline/pills would be better
Conclusion:
Extremely creative idea! Although it is frustrating, it's worth the extra time and effort.
Average little campaign
PROS - Very nice outro - Interesting concept for finale -Plenty of supplies - survivor dialogue - Clear directions, arrows everywhere! But still has an opportunity to explore CONS - tank spawned in map 2 behind a fence and was unable to reach us - Intro is clunky - Finale is quite easy, even on expert Nice little campaign that has clearly had a lot of work put into it
GREAT CAMPAIGN, NO GLITCHES AND SMOOTH GAMEPLAY
PROS: - Intro - Custom voice acting - Clear pathways - Fair amount of supplies - Finale explosion - Varied environments - Challenging but achievable on expert CONS: - Finale idea is annoying, have to run backwards Overall, it's a smooth campaign that could easily pass as an official map, the only let down was having to run backwards in the finale.
This review was posted before the latest release.
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:
- Nice poster! - Custom sounds (map 1) - Custom zombie skins - Barcelona atmosphere (colours + posters) - Dialogue - Pool section, nice colour scheme and such clear water! - Falling cars - Clear directions - Well placed horde events - Original designs for items (explosion can) - Outro and intro - AMAZING views, especially the finale! - Environment - Plenty of supplies - Burning building effects - Felt like an official campaign - Very well designed
Cons:
- Bots can teleport ahead
Conclusion:
Just amazing, not really any flaws.
Pros:
- Story - Bot navigation is okay - Idea for unsafe saferoom - Plenty of places to explore - Stayed true to the title - Alarm cars - Graffiti in the underground parking lot - Letter to Ellis in the beginning although it's hard to read - Design - Custom music - Environment - Elevator in map 1
Cons:
- Some cars have bad resolution - Needs a few more direction arrows added in some places - Map size (370mb once opened) although it's understandable due to it's originality) - Map 1-3 were a bit short - So many pointless rooms and dead ends, especially in the finale - When we move the jukebox howcome it starts playing? Also no loading bar - No dialogue?
Conclusion:
Very underrated! Obviously a lot of effort has gone into this campaign, it's just hard for people like me who lag in some campaigns due to it's size. There are plenty of creative ideas in this, it's just sad they go unnoticed. Overall, it's a decent campaign so well done!
This review was posted before the latest release.
Pros:
- Clear directions and instructions - No major bugs - Plenty of pipes, mollies ect - Different routes - Plenty of places to explore - Some dialogue, explaining where to go - Bot navigation - Elevator on the roof - Horde events were well placed
Cons:
- Not many shotguns or magnums until finale - Map length, too short - Too much walking across the roofs - Tanks find t difficult to reach survivors in the finale due to all of the obstacles - Most places looked the same
Conclusion:
Decent campaign, despite being short it's still enjoyable! Although I kept getting the feeling i'd already been in some places due to the similar environment.
Pros:
- Custom cars with custom sounds - Directions - Cut scene of driving - Creative events - Detailed in some areas - Bot navigation - Classic L4d1 gameplay - Plenty of places to explore - Sufficient amount of closets - Finale's radio
Cons:

Conclusion:
This short campaign makes me feel like I was playing L4d1! Although a few things could be improved but i''ll give it an 8 mainly based on the unique cars and cut scene :P
This review was posted before the latest release.
Pros:

Cons:
- Hordes are huge - Map length can be a little short - Random rescue plane in the finale, doesn't make much sense - No dialogue - Bit boring - Bots die in fire in map 2?

This review was posted before the latest release.
Pros:
- Dialogues - Storyline - Perfect amount of supplies - Rescue vehicle is highlighted - Map length - Perfect difficulty - Clear directions and instructions - Good interpretation of Hard Rain and The Sacrifice - Feels like an official campaign - Decent amount of closets - Bot navigation - Detailed
Cons:
- Dumpster in the finale is slow - Environment can seem a little dull
Conclusion:
Great campaign! Basically there are no problems with it that I can see. Everything is straight forward with arrows guiding the way and instructions whether to run or wait it out. It also has something that I love in maps.... a story-line!
Pros:
- Environment - Creative - Sci fi - Custom radio transmitions - Activating things using switches - Killing boss using grenade launchers but see cons - Seems easy to follow - Most things are custom
Cons:
- BOT NAVIGATION SO FRUSTRATING.... have to kill them to get the elevator to proceed - Restarted around 10 times, mysteriously died from the boss when I was standing behind a wall and gave up - No dialogue
Conclusion:
Decent map but once the first boss is triggered... ruins everything for me, died every time even when i'm standing behind a wall. Sadly it doesn't seem like this will ever be updated.
SO MANY ALARMS
Too many events, especially in map 2 with constant horde and extremely fast SI spawns, making expert difficulty near impossible. Not enough supplies for the amount of crescendo events Good directions but overall the maps are all very similar with no real difference as they all have alarms that alert the horde.. nothing new
Pros:
- Creative + original (once again) - Custom bosses - Challenging on all difficulties - Easy to follow - Sufficient amount of supplies - Detailed - Intro - Bot navigation
Cons:
- Tank glitches at the beginning - Sound is too loud
Conclusion:
A quick map with many unique bosses and areas. It's easy to follow with no frustration. Overall, this is my favorite map out of your others, yet they are all excellent.
This review was posted before the latest release.
Pros:
- Storm - Bot navigation - Directions - Loading screen - Map length - Detailed - Witch and tank placements
Cons:
- Pink textures on every pile of boxes - Felt like I was playing swamp fever, dead center and hard rain - One saferoom didn't have medkits or weapons in it - Finale is extremely challenging
Conclusion:
Overall it has no major bugs with smooth gameplay although personally I prefer playing addons which differ to the original Valve campaigns. Yet it is still a great campaign with many different events throughout it.
Pros:
- Surprise behind each door - Like your other maps - Creative - Easy to follow - Boss fights - Perfect amount of supplies - Map length - Puzzles/ traps - Download size! - Enjoyable even though its the same environment
Cons:
- No dialogue - Birds could be better designed - Bots teleported through most doors (as they do in all maps really)
Conclusion:
Great map, nothing is too difficult and it's easy to follow. Lots of creative aspects to it and no major complaints so great work.
This review was posted before the latest release.
Pros:
- China atmosphere - Highly detailed - Custom music - Dialogue - Length of maps - Helicopter crashing - Regain health after exciting water - Witches - Traps although bots fail - Open space for the finale - Great wall of China
Cons:
- Bot navigation is terrible, teleporting into blocked passages or just standing still which restricts the real players from continuing. - Huge download size - Textures seem glitchy and fake - Ending outro doesn't make sense? We escape on a boat and are then taken through the ground which we were before and the helicopter randomly crashes
Conclusion:
Only in beta so it's understandable, yet it has some great ideas. It needs some work on bot navigation and just fixing up some minor areas so they don't look as fake. Although it deserves higher then a 5 rating. Some obvious effort has gone into this, especially with the environment.
Pros:
- Unique + creative puzzles, for once! Finally decent puzzles! :D - Not repetitive like other maps - Fire trail? Domino effect, AWESOME! - Requires a brain - Have to save supplies and use them carefully - Music - Didn't need instructions or directions because it's so easy to follow - Throwing pipe bombs to explode things? To defeat a boss. Nice, so unique and creative - Checkpoints halfway through some puzzles - Frustrating yet enjoyable - that's an achievement - Keys! - Each environment is different so it doesn't get boring
Cons:
- As you have already said, need 2-4 players (no points off because you already warned me) - Having to restart although its a puzzle map, it's not meant to be easy - No closets - Death charged at the boss fight
Conclusion:
Amazing map! It exceeded my expectations for sure, this needs to be more well known! Although other comments on this map seem to be a little harsh, complaining about no respawns or no checkpoints... it's still a great map, it's meant to be challenging and a bit frustrating. The only major problem with it, is gaining all of the keys, killing the first boss and then getting death charged. That did frustrate me but overall, I had a great experience playing this, I highly recommend it.
Pros:
- Crash Bandicoot setup! - Creative bosses - Pictures of other games/movies around the map - Having to find the question mark boxes in order to continue - Crates which you can shoot to find useful items - Custom voices - Unique - Fruits (just like Crash Bandicoot) - Teleporters - Beginning of the maps, in the saferoom - Map length - Rescue - Dialogue - Easy to follow
Cons:
- In map three, survivors can spawn at the ending saferoom - Not enough supplies - Bosses can be a bit easy - Too many hordes - Often no medkits or ammo in the safe room - Bot navigation is a bit glitchy
Conclusion:
This is a great campaign with a lot of obvious effort put into making it. It's just like the old Crash Bandicoot console games with about every aspect being put into play, from collecting fruits to the original characters. I have relived some old childhood memories from playing this awesome campaign and i recommend it to others, especially those who have played the original Crash Bandicoot.
Pros:
- Environment - Unique - Enjoyable - Dialogue - Clear directions - Radio - Custom voice - Length of maps - Story - Different paths, left it up to the player - Falling down the ice cliff was a nice touch (like dark carnival) - Plenty of places to explore - Creative - Bot navigation - Snowing/fog - Events!
Cons:
- Finale is too long - During the finale, the end tank spawns too close to the rescue - Lacking detail in some areas - Too many easy places to camp during the finale, it get's boring
Conclusion:
This is a great campaign with many pros including creative events, map layout and the most important, directions! Everything is amazing except for the finale which needs a small update, adding some holes in the buildings ceiling to allow the horde to get in. Yet, overall it's an enjoyable campaign which needs to be more well known!
Pros:
- Length of campaign - Barricades on some saferooms - Detail on some levels - Bot navigation - Creative events
Cons:
- Very boring - Lots of invisible things everywhere! (invisible hanger door) - No directions anywhere! - Extremely easy to get lost - Too many tanks during the finale - Finale is too difficult - No dialogue - No story
Conclusion:
Too boring, too many invisible objects and no story. Still needs a lot of work done on this campaign.
Pros:
- Minecraft - Original - Different routes - Places to explore - Breakable walls
Cons:
- No weapons - No dialogue - Hardly any health - No directions - Extremely short - No cut-scenes - No events to trigger horde
Conclusion:
Even though there is currently no second map, it needs more work done to it to get a higher rating. There are a few creative ideas but it's too short for me and lacking horde events which every campaign needs.
Pros:
- Like 'Lets build a rocket' - Creative - Challenging - Many different things to build! - Bots are ok, considering the type of map - Songs! (Portal :D) - Ending scene - Good timing for building things
Cons:
- At the start the hordes are huge - Objects seem glitchy before you build them - Need at least 2 people - Can get stuck inside some objects - Bit laggy due to mass amounts of horde
Conclusion:
Overall there is a few glitches, mainly consisting of suddenly appearing objects which are transparent but other then that it's a great campaign which brings many new ideas to l4d2.
This review was posted before the latest release.
Pros:
- Intro - Dialogue - Creative + original - Snow - Custom music - Different paths - Nice finale, very unique - Ice during the finale! Very fun - Having to find the parachutes
Cons:
- Some areas in the second level need more directions - Lack of supplies
Conclusion:
Great campaign! There isn't really much to complain about, it just needs a few more directions in the second level but otherwise, I loved the setting and the creativity.
Pros:
- Ride! - Very creative and original - Ride had no glitches, didn't fall off going down hills - Scenery - Smoker at the intro, girl special infected being sold - Custom pirate sound effects - Nice poster - Clear instructions (don't know why people are complaining about no horde) - Players choice to decide what to do - Nice props - Can explore while on the ride - Re-playable
Cons:
- Some areas, such as the ship could have just a little bit more detail when the cannons are fired but otherwise it's great!
Conclusion:
A very original map, it actually gives the player the choice and gives clear instructions to what will happen. It's a nice change for a l4d2 campaign.
Pros:
- Creative - Original - Like portal - Randomized gas can placings - 'Tests' worked well with no glitches - Maze, having to look for the items
Cons:
- Same puzzles repeated - Same environment repeated - No dialogue - Bot navigation - Became boring
Conclusion:
Good idea but it could be improved, maybe by changing the scenery and making different tests instead of repeating the old ones.
Pros:
- Perfect difficulty - Clear directions! - Alternative path to the tram (if you get left behind like me) - Rescue has relevance with the title - Decent sized maps - Tram
Cons:
- Only dialogue is at the intro - Finale was quite big so it needed more supplies - Tram can start before everyone is aboard - Not many memorable things to make me want to replay it
Conclusion:
An easy campaign with clear directions. Fun to play once but nothing was very remarkable about it, although it has no major issues.
Pros:
- Very creative - Unique - Jockeys eggs - Environment - UFO! - Custom boss - Randomized weapon cases - Detailed - Slide!
Cons:
- End boss is very frustrating, 4 tanks + custom boss! :( - Only special infected that spawn during the final boss are chargers - Bot navigation, they tend to suicide on the elevator - Almost too challenging because it's quite long
Conclusion:
Very creative map! Although I didn't find the gnome it also seems like a great idea (I will find it one day) The only real problem is the end boss, maybe if it had less health it would be less frustrating.

Pros:
- Well placed events (but see cons) - Jail environment - Clear directions and instructions - Underground sewer tunnels beneath the prison seemed realistic (according to movies) - Tanks and witches
Cons:
- Need more events - Not many choices of weapons, only get hunting rifle during the finale :( - Expected more of the jail theme - Maps are short - Can get stuck between garbage bags during the finale and be teleported back to the safe room
Conclusion:
It could have some more originality added to it but it's still a short and fun campaign. I don't mind only 3 map campaigns but the maps, especially map 1 and 2 should be a bit longer and made a little more challenging.
Pros:
- Environment - Creative + unique - Bot navigation - Can jump from place to place - Can enable and disable guiding arrows - Scattered medkits around the finale with red lights - Finale was challenging but not frustrating - Clear directions (with guiding arrows enabled) - Alternative routes - Witty name - Decent size maps
Cons:
- Can't enable the guiding arrows again unless you restart the map or die - Once you fall off the edges during finale, you don't hold on
Conclusion:
Finally, not a laggy, boring, unclear campaign! Congrats. This is a great addon, although I only played co op, i'm sure it would be great in versus too.
This review was posted before the latest release.
Pros:
- Unique finale (but see cons) - The village setting - Plenty of places to explore - Dialogue - Green highlighted objects - Poster has directions - Decent length - Clear directions
Cons:
- Finale is quite challenging, gets a bit frustrating having to repeat it - Bots die at spawn on the last map - Laggy in some areas - Some floating objects - The fire takes too long to disappear during the airstrike event
Conclusion:
Overall, it's a good campaign just needing a few minor touch-ups.
Pros:
- Creative - Human evolution with Special infected - Some detailed areas - Fake hunter and spitter in the museum - Clear directions - Bot navigation
Cons:
- During the museum map, we couldn't use most melee weapons because it became very laggy - Some melee weapons were invisible - Multiple areas were wide open and lacked detail - No dialogue between survivors - The finale environment seemed random and didn't fit in with the other maps - During the museum map it crashed my game a fair bit (maybe something to do with the melee problem?)
Conclusion:
Overall, it's a fun and unique campaign, the only major issue is the laggy/invisible melee weapons.
Average campaign that encourages exploration to find supplies
PROS: - Exploration is necessary to find valuable supplies - Finale area is wide open - Finale is thrilling due to the slow opening door + tank but is ACHIEVABLE on expert campaign CONS: - It takes so long to reach weapons in map 1 - Why are medkits never in the safe room? I am not against this idea but it should be implemented into the story or somehow explained - Bots sometimes do not pick up the medkits - If I tried to jump off the ladder when I was close to the ground, it teleported me to the top of the ladder? Overall, with the cons listed this campaign is just average. Nothing really stood out to me as impressive and would make me want to replay it. But that being said, the campaign isn't necessarily bad, it just has a few little issues. Otherwise it is playable and good for an hour or two of fun.
Pros:
- Different environments - Rescue closets are well placed - Entertaining - Perfect difficulty, not too hard or too easy - Bot navigation - Dialogue between survivors
Cons:
- Glitchy ladder - Finale is extremely short - Multiple objects used from original l4d2 campaigns - Not many melee weapons - Water graphics were glitchy
Conclusion:
Decent campaign with no major issues, although the finale seemed a bit rushed.
Pros:
- Nice download size - Clear directions - Basketball court - High school setting
Cons:
- Invisible objects (including the radio) - In the first few maps there was no high school - Spelling error 'hord' (but no points off)
Conclusion:
It's a simple campaign that could be played on any difficulty and not cause any frustration. It just needs a few bug fixes, mainly changing the invisible objects. Although it is still a good campaign.
Challenging, polished map
PROS - Very nice custom intro, news headlines ect - Bit of custom voice acting - Challenging maps - Colour scheme - Plenty of direction - Nice amount of supplies - Maps are very well designed, plenty of different environments CONS - Map 3 'surprise tank' is ridiculous with that event straight after. Very annoying and frustrating for expert players
This review was posted before the latest release.
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:
- Air strikes - Sniper - Custom skins - Environment - STORY! - Mass amounts of M60's and grenade launchers - Surroundings are believable - Mines
Cons:
- Short maps - Zoey is wearing random white clothes when she is meant to be camouflaging
Conclusion:
Majority of l4d2 campaigns don't have clear stories so congrats on that! Excellent campaign, if only it was a bit longer.. but well worth the download.
Pros:
- Great finale! (Great wall of China) - Environment - Custom music - Dialogue - Clear directions - Perfect amount of items and ammo - China - Entertaining
Cons:
- Poster needs to be reworded
Conclusion:
Very nice campaign, I couldn't find any major problems.
Pros:
- Creative - Surprise special infected spawns - Great download size! - Surprise witch and smoker spawns in finale - Choosing the right switch - Easy to follow
Cons:
- L4D1 survivors don't get rescued, just stand there? - Tank can spawn right in front of you, after the movable wall and is extremely hard to get past - Title could be a bit more original but no points off
Conclusion:
Personally, I love trap maps and this one is great fun, I don't understand why the critic score is so low. Worth the download :)
This review was posted before the latest release.
Pros:
- Entertaining - Great for Mario fans - Low gravity - Lots of Mario themes - Climbing the vines - Dead bodies of Mario and Luigi - Nice download size - Crates that you could punt/shoot which released items - Elevator event
Cons:
- Finale was a bit cramped although it still had the 'Mario' style - Automatic death if you don't make some jumps ( jumping to the lifts)
Conclusion:
A definite download for anyone who loves creative ideas. Plus, in campaigns like this there is usually mass amounts of lag but not in this one!
BLAND. BORING. CONFUSING
I understand not every map is meant to be graphically stunning with custom models throughout but this map has no directions, everything looks the same, yes everything is orange but the same orange walls, nothing new. Finale rescue is confusing as to where to navigate to with no direction. I normally complete all maps on expert and play carefully but this map is just asking to be rushed through and taken in a carefree manner.
Pros:
- Double floodgates - No real glitches - Events were well placed - Overall smooth gameplay - Nice download size - Map layout
Cons:
- Nothing made a real impression on me to compared to other campaigns
Conclusion:
Overall, it's an easy to play campaign with simple events to follow and good direction.
Pros:
- New environment for the finale - Good directions for most maps (see cons)
Cons:
- Nothing at all in safe room - Bots didn't take medkits on the first level - Hardly any medkits around the maps - First time we played the finale there was no 'rescue is coming, defend yourselves' so we had no idea what to do - In the early maps, you can shoot a gas can in order to get better weapons, although if you walk over it or punt it, it disappears
Conclusion:
There is some decent ideas for the campaign but with still so many things needing improvement, it's not worth the download until it is updated.
Pros:
- Finale wasn't cramped, heaps of places to camp - Nice setting - Witches - City was believable - Events are original and well placed - Small size campaign for decent quality - Just right amount of ammo and hordes
Cons:
- Campaign didn't really stand out or make an impression on me
Conclusion:
Overall, it's a nicely made campaign with some obvious effort put into it.
OK
Overall, it's an okay campaign but it still needs a lot more work. Just give more directions and fix the finale and i'm sure it would be much better. Although nice job for your first try. The finale on expert is pretty bad, it is such a long walk to the finale area, then you have extremely limited area to run around in and fight tanks. There is also very little supplies to be found in this area, and I searched everywhere!
This review was posted before the latest release.
Pros:
- China - First map is amazing, so pretty :D - Chinese writing everywhere - Can cut the fruit! - Airstrike trap at the start of the second level - Doors on the first level - Some creative ideas
Cons:
- Short - Tier 2 guns were only available on the last map - Not much warning for the second trap (but no points off) - Bots were pretty much doomed to die with the traps
Conclusion:
Although it's a very short campaign, it's fun to play and that's what counts!
Pros:
- Didn't have to use all 16 gas cans in the fuel level - Water park area was fun
Cons:
- The boat and gas cans were too far apart - Use of official campaigns objects - First level is very buggy with things appearing everywhere
Conclusion:
Nothing remarkable about this campaign, just ordinary.
This review was posted before the latest release.
Pros:
- Lots of chainsaws and grenade launchers - Special zombies, 'Jimmy Gibbs' - Getting the gas cans to fuel the military tank was well thought out with cans not being too far away or too close
Cons:
- It felt repetitive - Lots of objects from official campaigns were used - During the finale many trains went past and we weren't sure which one we had to get on - A train ran me over and there was no respawn or warning - Needed more directions, it was very easy to get lost - Dull and boring environment
Conclusion:
An ok map. Only seems good to play with friends as it lacked creativity.
This review was posted before the latest release.
Pros:
- Original storyline and environment - Lighting change during finale - Fake saferooms - Desert atmosphere - Creative ideas for events
Cons:
- Multiple useless turrets - Didn't understand the final cut scene, unless it was a reference to something? - The finale environment seemed a bit boring
Conclusion:
Decent campaign with a great map layout. Well worth the download.
This review was posted before the latest release.
Pros:
- Unique, never played another map like this! - Buying weapons with the cans? Genius! - Actually requires the use of your brain to complete, not just blasting your gun with no strategy at all - Red objects are alarmed - Suspenseful yellow framed paintings - Finale is usually when the campaign becomes a let down but not for this map! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G - The use of your memory in l4d2? I forgot the numbers so many times but very creative - Dead survivors during the finale - New environment - One person can have unlimited fire ammo by just touching zombies? :D
Cons:
That the sequel isn't finished yet!
Conclusion:
Pure genius. If you don't have this map by now, get it
Pros:
- Traps - Suspenseful - Original events - The slide which takes you back to the saferoom if you press the wrong button - So many explosions! - Witches/tanks trapped in cages but then open later - Disappearing floor - Variety of weapons/bombs/melee
Cons:
- Too many medkits, wasn't challenging - Maps are quite long which can be annoying to restart if you die near the end
Conclusion:
Great map, lot's of funny times. Worth the download, especially if you're looking for a friend game, zombie killin', lol-worthy time
Pros:
- Resident evil! - Puzzles - Hunter's skin - Searching for keys and items with interactive objects/bodies - Pistols! - Relevant sound effects for the zombies and tanks - Creative
Cons:
- Intro seemed a bit random - During the movie scenes you can still get hit, we got spat on and died because we couldn't move :/ - Finale was extremely laggy - Witch sound effects are too dramatic - Finale was a bit of a letdown, could have been more exciting and relevant to Resident Evil - Our bots glitched one map because they teleported through the portrait door and opened it for us
Conclusion:
An enjoyable campaign for everyone, not just resident evil fans
This review was posted before the latest release.
Pros:
- PORTAL 2 EASTER EGG !! (with voice) - Very original - Detailed maps - Fun to replay (especially to find the portal 2 easter egg) - The explosion! - Creative idea for the event - shooting the fire can to start it
Cons:
- When carrying the gnome through to the finale it's difficult because if you drop it, it can sometimes disappear through the walls and floors, so you have to restart the level again - When trying to proceed to the portal 2 easter egg, if you lock the bots out you cant go through, so we had to kill the bots beforehand
Conclusion:
Excellent campaign and well worth the download, make sure you do the portal part to get the full experience :)
Pros:
- Best campaign! - Felt like a whole new game - Spooky - Although the maps are replayed it's still fun and seems new - The 'ghost' witches - Scary screams - Needed special items such as keys to proceed - It's silent hill = epic - The dark environment gave it an even more exciting/scary feel - The dead skins of creatures which were in Silent Hill
Cons:
- Easy to get lost but I guess that's the point! - Random teleporting - Finale was laggy (not sure if it was just us) - The finale seemed small and it was very hard to see zombies/tanks untill they're right infront of you
Conclusion:
4 hours of our time well spent! Especially good to play with friends, helps you stay on track and not get completely lost .. by yourself :) Seems like a long campaign but so worth it!
Pros:
- Excellent campaign! - Detailed - Very original - Love the custom music - Actually a custom voice, not the same old virgil's voice like what everyone else uses! - Easy to follow - Random portal music? FTW! - Suprises around each corner - When you let more then 50 zombies in the mall, you dont have to restart the entire map again
Cons:
- Not really much warning when you go outside the lines and automatically die but luckily there is a closet nearby
Conclusion:
Great campaign, fun to play more then once. Well worth the download!
This review was posted before the latest release.
Pros:
- Detailed - Original - Great map to play with friends
Cons:
- Not as scary as i expected? -Some areas seem quite corny - Finale seemed too easy, even on the higher difficulties
Conclusion:
A fun and easy map to play, especially with friends but the scare tactics seem lame and boring. Although I still think it's worth the download :)

ok quick map with a slow finale
