Pros:

- Animated mask
- I expected the trenchcoat to be animated awkwardly, but it actually works well!
- Great overall quality
- First person view model! Aw yeah.

Cons:

I really can't think of any.

Conclusion:

I'm not the kind of person who would dispense a 100/100 lightly, but I just adore this. Thank you for sharing it.

Pros:

- Varied, interesting, detailed environments, especially to all be in one building.
- A "different" look—There is unique architecture and thoughtful structure to the building.
- Appropriate level of challenge
- Good feel for zombie spawns, not too many, not too few

Cons:

- Lacking a little in instructions, or I just missed them somehow. We stood around the machinegun near the generator shooting zombies for ages before we realized we were supposed to head upstairs through a newly-opened door.
- Two of my friends stepped out on the helipad to look around, and some mysterious force blew them off. I went out to rescue them, and I got blown off. The last teammate very carefully darted out to try to rescue one of us, and he got blown off. Total pointless team wipe without warning by an invisible, unmentioned, and unexplained force.

Conclusion:

This campaign is built extremely well, is interesting and fun to look at, has appropriate spawns for items, zombies, and everything else, and is generally awesome.

What's not awesome is having a team wipe right before the finale because of "wind" or something on a helipad. If wind was really going to be so strong on top of a building's helipad that it could blow people off, don't you think they'd put up something to protect against it, or at least have railings? It totally killed the awesome rush of the campaign. Please just lock off the helipad if you don't want people camping out there. Death by wind, well... blows.

Edit: And to anyone who says it's a realistic, nice touch, I'd like to know what planet you're from, or what building you know of that stands 50,000 feet high and depressurizes like a jumbo jet when a window breaks. Seriously, bad opinions are bad. Use your brain.

Anyway, apart from all that junk, I recommend this campaign wholeheartedly, and, yeah. It's awesome. Get it!

Pros:

- A lot of effort went into it; lots of detail
- Great concept, and completely unique thus far; a far cry from the dull nighttime city streets
- Custom skin; nice touch
- Short length, good for a "quick" campaign

Cons:

- Clipping issues, including walking through walls and falling through certain floors
- Elevator still sometimes kills everyone
- At least one panic event was broken, with no way to activate it (Wall was indestructible despite tool-tip telling us to destroy it)
- Unclear directions following metal detector, compounded by resulting crescendo event
- Poorly optimized for lower-end machines
- Unrealistic fog effects in some areas; waves of fog slap past like fast-moving walls of light
- Tank skin appears in all other campaigns unless you disable the campaign in the addons menu
- Lack of supplies in some safe rooms, especially lack of basic guns to swap between

Conclusion:

This campaign has so much potential, but I haven't had a clean run-through yet. Both versions I've played, I had to no-clip my way through some part, usually involving the elevator. My friends and I just played the most recent version, and the first thing that happened was that we all got killed by the elevator as soon as the map loaded. Then, after it reloaded, we found ourselves in the abyss beneath the elevator.

Why start a map with a moving elevator? The elevator is a map transition anyway. Just have it be stationary at the destination floor so that everything loads cleanly.

Similarly, there were several areas with vertical beam walls where we could run straight through, and there were at least a couple floors people fell through (one on the first map, just off the roof with the magnum). Furthermore, many very solid looking crates were completely intangible, and that definitely foiled me on a flawed spitter goo escape attempt or two.

Overall, it's clear that this campaign has a great concept, and that a lot of skilled work was put into it, but it feels like a serious rush job. My friends complained the whole way through about the insane, weirdly-behaving, hyper-thick fog, and the way it seemed to brighten everything. It was a strain to look at, and telling friends from zombies was a real pain in parts. Other glitches and problems are numerous.

I feel like a heel being the only one to rate it this poorly, but how could I rate it higher when, coming out of it after this most recent update, we all unanimously agreed, "Let's never, ever play this again"? Here's hoping that it can be polished up someday.



EDIT: I wanted to append my review with this, because I realized my evaluation of this campaign was kind of a downer. I really respect the author for making something very new, and daring to do something different, and investing the time in it for our entertainment. But that said, it has a lot of problems, and I don't believe it's entirely deserving of the extremely high scores it's gotten so far. Being unique is great, but when it comes down to it, my focus in choosing campaigns is on playability and fun factor, and not the eye candy. This has the latter (when you can see through the fog) but not the former, at the moment. Hopefully, that'll come with updates.
