Review (REPOST FROM OG VERSION)

Troll campaign. I appreciate the effort, but it was ruined by the absurd amount of tanks you put on the campaign. My advice, don't waste your time.

Review

Oh boy, another goanna campaign. I've noticed goanna seems to feature a lot of bodily fluid references in his campaigns, typically of the anal variety.... Anyways, this goanna campaign features primarily tanks, although on one of the chapters, it was either 2 or 3 I forgot, there's a bunch of witches on a bridge. This campaign provides a good challenge whilst also being fair to the survivors, as you get tier 2 weapons immediately on chapter 1, and there'll be lots of weapons to choose from in the saferooms alongside lasers.

(The following issues have been addressed, cheers goanna!) Only issues I encountered were on the finale. It seems that if a horde spawns, they can actually break down the locked door that requires some prerequisites to unlock, which is what happened to me, which in turn makes it so you don't have to do anything to start the finale lol. Also the hitbox of the rescue vehicle remains present at all times, maybe that's why I thought that some of my shots were not landing on the finale.
Not a bad campaign, good to kill about 30-45 minutes.

Review

Sorry for the low rating, but this edition is completely pointless as the same effect can be easily achieved with external mods. (I guess not every single change but you get the idea.)

Review

Decent campaign. Aesthetics are fine, nothing ground-breaking. I have two issues with its current version or incarnation: The elevator on chapter 2 should be sped up, it's a bit too slow right now in my opinion. Also I had three tank suicides during my runthrough, which is a bit absurd, the navmesh should be straightened out for the special infected. First suicide was on chapter 1, just as we reached the end of the elevator ride. Second suicide was when we were at the beginning of chapter 3. Third suicide was the second tank on the finale.
Overall though the map design is fine, a pretty standard traditional style campaign. Forgot to check how long it took me, it's a little bit shorter than a Valve campaign. So probably 20-30 minutes.

Review

Like Glubtastic 1, I feel like I reviewed this before, so I'm not sure what happened. It's more of the same trolling-bs.
Chapter 1 has this stupid tank survival section with multiple tanks, you can kinda cheese them if you hide in the truck at the beginning. There's a bit of platforming at the end and a pick-a-door to end it off.
Chapter 2 is le epic Covid-19 reference, where you must shop for materials. I honestly quite like this chapter and it's the most creative one so far as of Glubtastic 2.
Chapter 3 is a relatively fine platforming chapter but has this really annoying func_breakable that you have to defeat at the end of the chapter that deals a lot of damage to you.
Chapter 4 is annoying platforming, nothing special.
Chapter 5 is EVEN MORE annoying platforming with many tanks and trolls.
Chapter 5; when I first played, no idea what I was supposed to do. After playing this campaign with randoms many times, you're supposed to load up the plane with the... uh.. trolleys? With fire barrels in them, scattered around the map. The idea of killing the big boomer is pretty cool, and I like that you can avoid the vomit by hiding (a lot of people don't know this.) Very rarely if you're unfortunate enough one of the trolleys can get stuck on geometry, but this rarely happens, also you only have one closet respawn available if you fall off the map, so be careful.

Overall, this campaign isn't horribly bad like Glubtastic 3 having that god-awful train chapter, but there's honestly not much reason to keep coming back to this one. I think if you can manage the trolling, it's worth it as a one-off with friends at the very least.

Review

I feel like I reviewed this before, so I'm not sure what happened. Either way I've played this campaign countless times, it's a troll campaign. But thankfully not as sadistic as hehe tends to be, nevertheless, there's plenty of trail and error to be had here.
Chapter 2, the coaster is definitely the worst, as you have to memorize a certain pattern of shooting targets at the end of the chapter, it's just. really annoying. 
Chapter 3 also has a annoying bit at the end where if you shoot the wrong post, you just die and will probably have to restart. The timing also has to be super tight to avoid the moving traffic.
The finale can take quite a while as well, there's platforming, dodging falling debris, and the slaying of many witches and tanks. You can choose which one you want to do first.
The other two chapters aren't really worth mentioning but chapter 1 is a trollfest; pick the correct door, don't die to the falling boomers, and a tank RNG fest at the end where you'll probably get incapped by the frdiges they punch. Chapter 4 is just platforming with an annoying constant smoker that spawns at the end of the chapter, making it really annoying.

It succeeds as a troll campaign but isn't really worth playing.

Review

Idk what to make of this campaign. I think the best description is: a low-quality sh*tpost. Chapter 1 is a typical map, chapter 2 however, no idea what you're supposed to do. You arrive at a shop but you're not given instructions on what you're supposed to be doing there, guess I'm just the big dumb. Chapter 3 is a simple map, you collect some objects whilst you're chased by some entity that insta kills you, the map is very short so it's easy. Chapter 4 is the worst; pick a door. Of course I god-moded this one lol, have fun if you're playing without mods. Chapter 5 is nothing special, chapter 6 crashed my server right before the end, so idk how it ends, I saw two doors with buttons that have to be pressed, so idk if they're le epic troll or not. The finale is also nothing special, very bland finale.

Not worth your time.

Review

Now don't get me wrong, I do like the concept of the backrooms, however this campaign ain't it. I would expect the confusing labyrinths alright, although such design just doesn't work in L4D2. If you are of the crowd that for some reason enjoys puzzle-solving and labyrinths in L4D2 ( a fast-paced arcade-style zombie shooter mind you) then... I guess this is your campaign. Oh, don't play this with bots, it's a miserable experience, navmesh is barely functional at times, probably due to the campaigns reliance on teleporting the player around.

The campaign is extremely trail and error based, and quite difficult to solve the puzzles, prepare to die A LOT.

To be a little bit positive though I think the environments are pretty cool, sure they can be repetitive, but they are... visually distinct or appealing, in my opinion.

Review (REPOST FROM SOURCE)

Amazing campaign. Great map design. Plenty of supplies. No botnav errors. No glitches/bugs. And even though I don't use melee weapons, the custom melee weapons were a nice touch :)

Review

If you're familiar with the White Forest campaign, or even Half Life 2: Episode 2, this campaign is basically the White Forest campaign with some minor additions and two new chapters to play through, which I believe are original designs. Both of the new chapters are fine, really nothing to talk about, I believe there's a surprise on the finale that I unfortunately didn't get to see because my server setup didn't play nice with the finale. Yeah it's pretty good, worth a play. Took me around 50 minutes I think.

Review

Not that great of a campaign, but playing it this time around my experience was a lot better than the previous version. The improvements to the campaign include chapter 3 and chapter 5 (the finale.) The can limit was lowered on chapter 3 to a more reasonable amount (today I learned the survivors have voice lines for 20 cans remaining lol, maybe I heard it before, idk.) Thankfully the author made it so you can use the cannon to attack the boss, this wasn't told to the player in the previous version, making it very confusing to understand what was meant by "run or wait." The finale is still pretty difficult but doable. I can't really recommend playing this campaign with bots even if it is doable. My run lasted 54 minutes.

Review (REPOST FROM OG VERSION)

A decent campaign, it's a pretty solid campaign with poor environmental design, but it doesn't take away from the fun for me.

Review

I'm a bit confused by the description as it says chapter 5 and 6 are coming soon, but the campaign is fully playable from start to finish right now, so.. Either way my only criticism of the campaign is that I would make it clearer where to go after the chapter 1 elevator ride as the layout is very confusing. Also, chapters 4-6 are mostly re-used from the Deadcity campaign (and like half of chapter 3 I guess.) So the campaign is quite familiar, I've played Deadcity many many times in the past. Overall it's an alright campaign but if you've played Deadcity before, you kinda know what to expect.

Review

Very long campaign, took me over an hour to finish although I died twice. The campaign contains a lot of witches and tanks which does feel rather.. arbitrary. If the author removed the excessive witch and tank spawns the campaign would actually increase in quality in my opinion. So yeah avoid this campaign if you really don't like tank & witch spam as this campaign has a lot, not recommended for expert, advanced if you like pain.

Review

Well if you want Fairfield Terror with L4D2 survivors, busted string tables, pre-TLS No Mercy population, retail outro and L4D1 items only, this is your version lol.

Review

Seems like this one was reuploaded, so I'll give it a re-review. A decent campaign, compared to the last time I played this seems like there's a new chapter that involves elevators. (chapter 5) Doesn't change my opinion about the campaign though, it's a pretty solid campaign with poor environmental design, but it doesn't take away from the fun for me.

Review (REPOST FROM SOURCE)

It was ok. Some of the maps were pretty bland. The textures were low quality in some areas and high in other places. Pretty meh experience.

Review

Yeah, pretty standard oldschool campaign. No issues found and just a solid campaign.

Review (REPOST FROM SOURCE)

Remember. Left 4 Dead 2 is not Silent Hill. It is very unforgiving when you die, the maps are WAY too long so if you die, you have to spend another 10+ minutes getting back to where you were. Bland design in some places (guess you can blame Konami) so it was pretty damn boring walking in a single direction, a straight line for the majority of the time. Very confusing were to go at times, guess you can blame me for not liking puzzles. The bot navmesh on the final map is a tad bit bad where bots seem to like going through the water rather than on land and end up drowning themselves. Also on the second last map I couldn't figure it what to do, it may be broken. i pressed the elevator button multiple times and nothing happened. Other than that, pretty grand. Custom textures were a nice touch, custom character models, special infected, sounds and some of the chapters had descent design.

Review

I tried this campaign when it came out but it seemed to be incompatible with my mod loadout (it crashed after the gman speech.) I decided to try it again without mods but it seems to be pretty buggy. On chapter 2, I died as I was trying to figure out what i needed to do, when i respawned I was stuck in the floor along with Zoey, requiring noclip. The campaign seems to crash a lot even with 0 mods enabled for whatever reason, which is pretty frustrating. The campaign has cool ideas, and the custom models are cool, but instability prevents me from giving this a proper rating.

Review

Yeah this campaign sucks. Super long drawn out panic events and a super long drawn out finale with super amateur mapping, yeah hard pass.

Review

It's pretty good. Not my favourite campaign by a long shot, but it's competent for what it is. I personally dislike long drawn out finales, but this one didn't overstay it's welcome too much. Also personally I really dislike the custom music additions, probably just me though.

Review

Perfect campaign. My runthrough lasted just over 20 minutes. It's a well polished traditional.styled campaign. No issues encountered.

Review

Great campaign! Just really solid all around, a fun 30 minute run through cool environments, no issues found, worth a play!

Review

My opinions on the second incarnation of kimchi zombie are basically the same as the first one. There's more content this time around and this sequel(?) reuses three maps from the first incarnation, with the addition of two new ones. It's more of the same, very long drawn out panic events where you must complete a task. Took me about an hour to complete.
Also the credits are bugged and do not show your stats, that should be fixed.

Review

Alright, wow I am super impressed. I have played previous versions of NanningCity which were NOTHING like this, i remember them being pretty underwhelming. The mapping on this campaign is absolutely breathtaking, the pacing is also fantastic and the campaign will keep you playing probably for 40 minutes to an hour I think. This campaign is seriously underrated and absolutely deserves a play! there's custom models from other Source games to keep it looking fresh as well. Seriously, wow!

Review

About time I got around to playing this, and yep, a perfect 10/10 campaign. The lighting, atmosphere and map layouts are pretty much on point, had no problems with the campaign, very well done to the developers. The custom models are also a great touch and personally; didn't care for the custom dialogue, but hey, I suppose it's refreshing after being so used to the vanilla voice clips. Maybe it's just me but I am surprised that there wasn't much survivor chatter, I've already heard the community lines for winter-themed campaigns on other campaigns before, but they woulda been a nice touch. (look at me being a pessimist :P)
EDIT: Ignore that previous statement, prolly not hearing most dialogue due to mod conflicts, typical.

Review

Yeah this campaign is quite a disaster. Was it fun? Ehhhhh sometimes yes, but the majority of the time it was frustrating. If the description is unclear, each chapter is dedicated to a particular special infected, so that means there are 8 different chapters (as it includes a map dedicated to common infected as well) and then a special finale map. I was honestly having a good time until chapter 5, which is the smoker chapter, at this point I was getting pretty fed up with the gimmicks. The campaign is honestly not terrible (but not good either), but definitely not for me. It also has a pretty challenging final boss too, which will take you a long time to beat I imagine. The campaign took me 2 hours and 15 minutes to beat.

Oh I forgot to mention, this campaign has a bunch of custom scripts, so m60s have 600 ammunition, you can crawl, smokers can smoke you from an infinite distance, jockeys move faster and hunters + tanks have terrible aim. To add, I imagine that smoker chapter would be super annoying on advanced and expert although you'd have to be insane to play this campaign on anything above normal lol.

Review

To be honest, when I was on chapter two, I felt like there were way too many panic events crammed together, but as it went on it at least felt less "cramped" in that regard, so i ended up quite enjoying myself. Is it better than the original? Meh I put both versions on the same tier to be honest, both are good. I'll take your word for this campaign being quite replayable with random events as I'll play it again in the future no doubt, I noticed the extra chapters in the chapter select. So yeah, maybe I just got a funny "seed" if you will were there were a bunch of panic events on the first two chapters, either way, it was fun.

Review (REPOST FROM SOURCE)

Nice facelift for Dark Carnival, it doesn't stay completely true to the original, and includes its own aesthetics here and there, but it's a fun way to play. There are very minor gameplay changes; You can't access the sniper towers on the finale, and the water on chapter 1 is gone.

Review

Very interesting and cool VScript. The changes on chapter 1 are very creative and I wish the entire campaign was altered too, but I udnerstand your wishes to not port the rest, worth a try!

Review

Yup, it's even more Questionable Ethics if you enjoyed the previous three, you'll enjoy this one. I think overall I do prefer the original (especially the finale,) although it's been quite some time since I've played it and I get them all mixed up rather easily. Although of course, there's nothing wrong with this campaign.

Review (REPOST FROM SOURCE)

Great campaign! Plenty of supplies. Unique map design. No bugs/glitches. No botnav errors. really enjoyed playing this campaign! (Even though I died on the finale 3 times)

Review (REPOST FROM OG VERSION)

It just fails... I understand you're trying to emulate real life, but it just doesn't work in Left 4 Dead 2! This is what happens when you take assets from different games and such and attempt to use them in this type of game, it just doesn't work. Boring bland long tedious level design. A bit of a lack of supplies. Botnav errors every now and then. Just bad...

Review

Wayyyyy better now than the previous revisions, took a while, but I consider this campaign to be a pretty good one now, well done to the authors!
This campaign features a lot of gauntlets, if I recall correctly there's at least one every chapter, although maybe one of the chapter's didn't have one. It's a fairly long one too, it took me almost 50 minutes to beat.
Really my only criticism now is the confusing finale layout, there should still be something to guide the player towards the "activators" if you know what I mean, as I don't want someone to get confused like I did in the past thinking that there was something to do with the ammo pile room above where the activators are.
I'm super pleased to see that the gauntlets are way more fair than they used to be, seemingly using some vanilla scripts which I approve of. The pacing is way better than previous versions too, I really like what you did with merging the end of chapter 1 from a previous version into chapter 2, it flows way better.
I think a redundant section was cut at some point, unfortunately I can't really remember what it was but it improved the flow of the campaign for sure, I think it was a small section anyways.
The sewers got a bit of an overhaul as well which is nice to see.
Yeah I can now safely recommend this campaign in its current state, pretty good!

Review

Pretty decent campaign, I re-read my review of the original version and seems like I wasn't a fan lol, but this version adds a new map which is pretty cool; a gauntlet "finale" on chapter 1. I was a bit thrown off by the fact that you can climb certain vents and pipes on this campaign at first. But yeah the campaign is pretty alright, nothing too crazy. Also it's nice to see that the finale works properly now.

Review

Overall I think this texture pack is great for beta Nthusiasts. I didn't think much of it when I first saw these texture packs coming out as I subconsciously thought they'd look really shitty and low-res, but actually playing with them feels like a completely different experience at times. I played through all the campaigns to see how they would feel, and it sells the girtty aesthetic pretty well. My only grievances are sometimes textures look out of place or cut off suddenly, a quick example would be usually the grass textures, sometimes there's just brickwork that suddenly turns into grass, or grass that turns into a different shade of grass. For out of place, a really silly one is caravans that have this really rusted metal texture that just looks dumb, and I noticed some tilework on ceilings, like in Dead Air that also looks pretty dumb.
As I said though, overall, I'm a big fan of these textures. These are paired great with CSS model replacers and I think I'm using HL2 blood spatters iirc.

Review (REPOST FROM SOURCE)

Perfect campaign. Great map design. Nice custom music. Nice voice acting. No botnav errors. however, for some reason the 2nd tank on the finale suicided. But anyways, nice work.

Review

Simple and fairly short campaign, but quite fun. A nice balanced challenge on higher difficulties. I don't really have much to comment on other than that. Worth a play

Review

Seems to be more or less identical to Gloom Town, albeit with the L4D2 survivors & more dialogue triggers. The lighting seems a bit brighter and that's it. I suppose I'll repost my Gloom Town review here.
Pretty solid campaign. The map design is fine, nothing I was super impressed about, but it's alright. The custom finale is pretty cool, but nothing to write home about. All in all, a pretty alright campaign in my books.

Review

Pretty solid campaign. The map design is fine, nothing I was super impressed about, but it's alright. The custom finale is pretty cool, but nothing to write home about. All in all, a pretty alright campaign in my books.

Review

Just reposting my review from the OG version.
Fantastic campaign with a unique aesthetic. Pretty edgy and that's fine, heh. Perfect for Halloween if you're into the gritty stuff.

Review

Great work so far. I really like how non-linear the levels are, no issues found on my end, looking forward to the completed version :)

Review

Very average campaign, not really worth playing. I appreciate the author trying to make custom setpieces and the custom enemies are cool and all but eh, there's not really enough here to keep it exciting. The map design itself is quite bland and flat, which may be a part of the problem. (By the way, I appreciate that you made it so the bots can shoot at the custom enemies)

Review

Yeah not a bad campaign, but not really great either. The custom enemies are cool, but that's kinda it as far as this campaign's qualities. The map design is very bland and flat. (By the way, I appreciate that you made it so the bots can shoot at the custom enemies)

Review

Yeah, this campaign is horridly imbalanced in favour of the infected, I'm pretty sure the Helms Deep survival map was really unbalanced as well. Even the Lord of The Rings campaign had pretty awful balance iirc. Does spamming a billion infected at the survivors make it more fun or challenging? No! It makes it an absolute nightmare! I'm sure it's beatable with actual strategy with a team of 3 or 4 good players, but yeah, this campaign is definitely not for me.

Review

Not worth playing at all. Very boring and drawn out with long empty corridors, barely any action and a long waiting section at the end for rescue. Very underwhelming map and pretty quick to beat.

Review

Excellent campaign. Has great layouts, a unique concept on chapter 1 where all 4 survivors are separated and have different paths to take (kinda similar to Deadenator if anyone has played that one before.) This seems to be the first custom campaign to use AI generated voice clips which is pretty interesting. Absolutely worth a play!

Review

Cool map, well put together. As you said it's very short but you tried to make the most of it. The bots struggle on this one, they can get stuck sometimes when trying to descend at certain points.

Review

I went ahead and played the updated version (I wanted to wait for the updated, presumably final version but whatever,) and even without a finale this campaign is honestly a lot better than Crash Course lol. This campaign is quite long, unfortunately I didn't keep track of how long I played for since I usually leave it to the game to keep track, but there's no credits screen yet, but I would estimate I was playing for around 30 minutes even without a finale, so it's well lengthed. If you're looking for a classic style campaign, this is a pretty good one, although there's only a single panic event in the entire campaign (and it's pretty meh,) I think it could've benefited from more. It can still be a bit confusing where to go at times if this is your first time playing, in particular, chapter two has a warehouse with a little ladder tucked away in the corner, arrows would've helped here, and also a game instructor hint on how to start the panic event on chapter three. Pretty solid campaign overall though worth a play, unless you're disappointed by the lack of a finale.

Review

Fun, but short. I would genuinely like to see something like this turned into a proper campaign that isn't absurdly difficult, similar to those parkour segments on the Glubtastic campaigns. This one shouldn't take you very long to beat unless you don't understand the games physics very well. It took me 17 minutes I think.

Review

Fun alternative to the RE3 campaign, plays well and offers fun environments to plough through. Worth a play!

Review

I haven't played the original in quite some time, but this seems to add a bit more to the campaign (actually this might be identical to the version already on gamemaps, file sizes are the same), the map layouts seem to be more or less the same. I do like the idea of the RNG elements, this campaign is certainly very experimental in nature. There's now a flyable helicopter which controls like ass so I didn't bother using it. That's about it.

Review

I remember playing this campaign before but I don't remember what issues it had (seems like I never wrote a review,) so I can't comment on the fixes this version provides. The campaign itself is quite slow paced and drawn out for those that enjoy a more layed back experience. As for the issues chapter 3 needs to have its string tables rebuilt, it crashes on my server, but it could just be a me thing since I play with mods. The environments are very "open-ended" and not claustrophobic. The navmesh is a bit buggy, I've had tank suicides and bots rushing to warp past the gate to the rescue vehicle since the rescue arrival triggers early for some reason (although the latter isn't necessarily a navmesh bug.) Definitely a very average experience for me, there's not really a lot to comment on.

Review

Thanks for the patching up, this one is a classic for sure, very unique experience. I will repost my review of it here.

Despite how janky this campaign is, I really, really enjoyed it! The map design is creative and interesting and isn't that kind of "bad troll" map design where you die to bs you could never see coming; this campaign actually gives you a lot of supplies, and I mean A LOT of supplies for the many events you'll be facing throughout the campaign, it's almost impossible to run out of ammo! There's some funny jokes to be had here and there as well. There's an interesting section that i remember loathing on chapter 4, right near the end where there's a bunch of witches you have to deal with. In retrospect, I have to admit it isn't actually poorly designed at all. You get a few defibs after the ordeal, and you get tier 2 shotguns to deal with them after explosions occur. Maybe.. it's a bit too close to the end imo, but tbh, coming back to it I appreciate it more now even if it is very scary to deal with. The finale's pretty fun as well, some goofs, shit tons of supplies and scavenge, pretty enjoyable, really really good.

Review

Average campaign overall, definitely not my favourite work by goanna. This campaign is missing the goanna charm I have become accustomed to from his other campaigns, and it's almost night and day compared to some of his other campaigns. If you pretend that he tried to "play it safe" with this one, I think it's a good way to describe it, as it feels very generic. The maps are very barren and uninspired, generic foggy swamp environments which I have played time and time again.It plays perfectly fine, I didn't encounter any issues, I guess the layout can be a bit confusing but it's negligible. This one I would avoid, as it doesn't offer anything interesting to keep me coming back.

Review

Not going to rate this campaign. You should definitely move your campaigns to the "versus" category, no point having them in the campaign category if they don't work at all in campaign mode. Regardless I will ignore the campaign related issues and talk about the levels. I do prefer the original Dead Air for sure. The one thing I do like is the introduction of the docks chapter from the comics, even if the map doesn't play very well (confusing where to go and the really narrow bits at the end.) I find the choice to have chapter 1's saferoom not actually safe very weird, but I guess it gives the infected an opportunity to have one last attack. (Although maybe in versus mode there's no actual crawl ladders to get on the rooftop, but regular infected can still spawn there.)

The new areas introduced are... not great. They definitely leave a lot to be desired and are generally very barren and boring, and take away the charm of my favourite retail campaign. 
I'm not sure how I feel about there being so many choke points, it feels extremely cheap when a survivor gets screwed over because he was a second too late to jump down to the next area, if your team is skilled it's not a problem, but there's too many on chapter 2.

Getting rid of the panic events for gauntlets makes sense for versus mode and replacing them with gauntlet sections, even if the logic of said gauntlets placements makes no sense when it comes to world-building, but granted rather irrelevant in competitive play.

I know bots aren't very important in versus, but you should at least make sure your navmesh works properly, it's very bad on chapter 2 especially (pretty much broken) and could use polishing on all maps.

I would just flat out cut the finale map since you made it an insta win, no point to it being here.

That's pretty much all I have to say, I prefer the original.

Review

Well does the sequel improve upon the original? Yeah sure.... Is it worth playing now? No. The author made an actual level to play through before the finale holdout, but it's extremely barren and uninteresting. This campaign takes about 10 minutes, which is double the original. Also the ammo pile on the finale is fake.

Review

This is not a campaign map, please move it to the "survival" category.

Review

Utterly pointless 5 minute barely populated finale map that's extremely easy.

Review

Yeah, not a bad campaign, pretty basic in my opinion but it gets the job done. Each map features a long panic event that you will have to sit through, well except the finale unless you count the finale event itself. It can be a little bit confusing on where to go, but it literally does not matter after the first playthrough. I didn't encounter any issues on my end, pretty average all things considered, but inoffensive.

Review

Very unfinished and buggy in its current state, but it is certainly a very interesting twist on Dead Center. As for the issues I encountered; One of the survivors died on the map 1-2 transition, I assume due to the way the door is barricaded when you load in, I'm not sure. Chapter 3 saferoom has no supplies on transition, this might be a campaign-only bug though, in fact both of them probably are, which I understand is not the focus... so yeah. Regardless I still like what you are going for and am looking forward to future versions.

Review

Pretty fun creative campaign. Clocks in about over 30 minutes. Some very light "puzzle" elements, and if you've played the previous two "Dr. Malroy" campaign, you know what you're in for. I'm pretty impressed with the creativity in this campaign, I doubt it's like anything you've ever played before, give it a try! I didn't have any issues (despite having a very script heavy server!) other than a massive lagspike at one point in the campaign I believe it was in chapter 2 the elevator ride (when you get re-infected), might've been chapter 3 but I have the memory of a goldfish so..

Review

Not pretty to look at but it's got some cool environments for a first attempt. Your campaign suffers from the bug where if you die on  a chapter, like chapter 1, you respawn at the end of the next map.

Review

Very mediocre campaign. Being only 1 chapter long, it has a lot to live up to, and it doesn't. The mapping is fairly amateur, nothing terrible really, but you can just tell. The lighting is bad, not in the "too dark can't see anything" sense, but there's not much dynamic light at all, and it's too bright for a map supposedly taking place at night. The author addressed the issue with the finale (no more infinite tanks), so it's a lot more manageable now thankfully. It clocks in at about 10 minutes.

Review

Yep it's Innards with more special, tank and witch spawns, honestly it's not that difficult considering the generous distribution of health, tier 2 weapons and laser sights, it kinda trivializes the whole thing honestly, that is if you know how to play Left 4 Dead competently... heh.

Review

An interesting array of mini games. The quality of said mini games varies greatly but I had a bit of fun with some of them. I'd kinda recommend you skipping certain mini games if you don't enjoy them, using cheats or just skipping the chapter, because some of them are pretty unfun. Overall though some interesting ideas for sure and there is some fun to be had. I wonder if one mini game per chapter or a checkpoint/skip feature would've made this campaign better, I think so.

Review

Great campaign. Interesting to see the little changes here and there that were made between the versions, for me the most notable thing is how moody it feels compared to the L4D2 version, which is to be expected from L4D1 style campaigns I suppose. The spawning is a bit scuffed; I had an immediate tank spawn before I even left the saferoom on chapter 1, and there were a few instances of commons spawning on top of me or close to me, and the navmesh is a bit worse than the L4D2 version since the original nav was preserved.I still consider it a 10 though, a joy to play.The unused(?) music is really cool to hear too.

Review

Absolutely perfect. Yes I do consider this version to be better than the original, although the original was still a great campaign. The layouts are certainly more interesting than the original this time around, I really like your ideas on how to re-do the campaign. No issues found, definitely a keeper!

Review (REPOST FROM SOURCE)

So I actually managed to play through the entire campaign this time around. It took 2 hours. It's funny because I didn't really like this campaign back in the day and how do i feel today? Well, some aspects I like, others I don't like, it's certainly not my favourite campaign but I'd imagine a superfan of Silent Hill or someone who grew up with it would really, really like this campaign. Generally speaking; I'm not a fan of non-traditional campaigns; that is to say: ones that deviate from the L4D formula (linear maps with rooms to scavenge.) This one is non linear (duh). I'll say having the items highlighted in this version helps SO MUCH you don't understand how better that makes the experience, because you're just not sure what to pick up because not everything is obvious and they're easy to miss (probably a big reason I didn't like this campaign back then.)

There's a wide variety of environments, and the lighting is either superb or so dark you can only see what your flashlight illuminates, pretty nuts. The occultism is cool (always something I "enjoy" don't take that the wrong way heh.)
Alright I've been all over the place this review, let's get down to business: I will say it's the main gimmick of this campaign and that's to scavenge for "key items" or something that helps you progress, which... I didn't mind too much, the problem arises when you occidentally walk past a room you're supposed to search, then you end up wasting a bit of time wandering around, thankfully didn't happen to me too much.
The formula reminds me of a game I actually played a lot "Amnesia: The Dark Descent" where you do the exact same thing in a horror environment with more gimmicks. 
I will give kudos to the author, I don't know if it was Leafo or Dzhigurda that placed the supplies around, but it makes the campaign actually beatable and enjoyable since you're never in a situation really where you're screwed so long as you're not getting hit by every special infected.

As for bugs, for some reason on the chapter "Alternative Hospital" it seems as though I could open the safe room door early(?) I'm not actually sure, I THINK I got a key, but anyways the bots wouldn't follow me in, so you either slowwly push them into the room and then the saferoom or you just kill them right there, navmesh needs fixing here either way or whatever this problem is.
The finale is a bit anti-climactic I will say, but... does it really need to be some epic holdout finale? Nah I think it's fine the way it is, you need a quick ending after a 2 hour long campaign lol.

In conclusion; avoid this campaign if you don't enjoy non-linear map (aka looking around for items to progress and solve "puzzles.") If you don't mind that though, enjoy yourself, allocate time, grab some friends and enjoy the 2 or more hour long experience in one sitting if you can, there's fun to be had.

Review

Another fantastic campaign and a great follow up to the original Lockdown, it did not disappoint! This time around, the maps aren't as claustrophobic compared to the first entry. And yeah I'm pretty sure you generally spend less time in interiors, although the claustrophobic, cramped map design of the original is probably what gives me that idea. Just an absolutely flawless campaign as far as I'm concerned, bravo, a keeper for sure.

Review

Very fun campaign! Actually not super difficult and over the top difficulty wise, very doable, even with bots. The checkpoint system is great, makes playing through it actually fun and not frustrating, I appreciate it very much. Each level contains a long run to an eventual boss fight, sometimes with minor objectives scattered in as well. There's multiple paths to choose form, although they eventually lead to the same linear path. Unfortunately the finale kept crashing my server in the submarine, so I couldn't finish it, but the other three levels were pretty fun actually, good work! I would recommend people at least try it, even if it's not traditional, it's quite fun.

Review

Fun little 5 mapper. Chapter 1 is a pretty standard map as you make your way through an underground section, and have a little holdout section at the end. Chapter 2 is the shortest and features a relatively short holdout section. Chapter 3 is a pretty crazy one as you fight a lot of hordes as well as two tanks, and finally have a short gauntlet right at the end. Chapter 4 is also a pretty standard chapter, I don't really have anything to say about it. And the finale has a pretty interesting "set piece," I won't spoil it :). Pretty descent campaign, worth a try. The aesthetics aren't anything impressive, but it plays well, and isn't super ugly to look at or anything, that's what matters right? No issues on my end.

Review

Great traditional-styled 4 mapper. Honestly; there's nothing wrong with the campaign, it's a joy to play, good layouts, well balanced and good pacing, definitely worth a play.

Review

This is genuinely some of the worst custom content Left 4 Dead 2 has to offer. This campaign has 0 redeeming qualities and is a grand waste of your time, disk space and bandwidth. I'm gonna save my breath and assume that you know why I said that, tanks, trolling blah blah blah. Tiresome. 30 maps of nothing.

Review

I didn't laugh, did you? It's a very basic campaign with 6 arenas, each designated to a specific special infected. the arenas are usually very small with not a lot of breathing room, but yeah all you do is survive for several minutes and you win.

Review

Short little one mapper, but gets the job done. You'll probably be playing for about 20-30 minutes at most, but the map included is fine, it's short and sweet. No issues found.

Review

Yeah, it's alright. Definitely not my favourite campaign, not too bad though. A lot of the areas are pretty bland and too open, which I generally do not like in a campaign. I played Huckleberry's version back in the day and that one had an unbeatable finale, so it's good to see it was addressed here. One thing I would definitely change is the HP of the metal door on chapter 3, shooting that thing is pretty dreadful and takes 3-5 minutes sometimes, I'd either do that or turn it into an automatic panic event, but either way, the campaign's alright.

Review

Nice facelift for Dark Carnival, it doesn't stay completely true to the original, and includes its own aesthetics here and there, but it's a fun way to play. There are very minor gameplay changes; You can't access the sniper towers on the finale, and the water on chapter 1 is gone.

Review

Yeah, this campaign sucks. Chapter 1 has the survivors running from start to finish, avoid the MANY tanks, and having to break glass panes with their melee weapons along the way, which requires teamwork and co-ordination, so at the mapper suggests, don't play this campaign with bots. Chapter 2 Is a super long coin collecting mission, have fun trail and erroring this one... Chapter 3 was actually a pretty standard chapter for the campaign all things considered. Chapter 4 is easily the worst, the map is quite unoptimized, so prepare for bad ping. The survivors have to destroy 4 trees... for some reason... and they take quite a while to destroy, and have fun dealing with the constant hordes and tanks... Chapter 5 is another stinker, and is also quite laggy, although the reason being is you have to kill many NPCs in order to complete this chapter, and it's quite annoying, I'll give ya that. The finale is your typical gauntlet to the end, although again somewhat difficult. Unless you're looking to punish yourself I would strongly suggest you not play this campaign, unless you are your friends are masochists.

Review

Simple idea, you run around the map collecting coins whilst an infinite number of tanks spawn in. Trail and error based for sure. Obviously don't play with bots, this map requires proper strategy to beat. there's different difficulty settings which just increase or decrease the amount of coins you need.

Review

Fun little 3 mapper. Some very minor puzzle elements, with fun to be had. I wouldn't recommend playing this campaign with the bots, they struggle and tend to get stuck a fair bit.

Review

Bad campaign. It's quite short (1 chapter long), has very bland level design, and is just not interesting enough to play.

Review

Great campaign so far, good map design & layout. It's a Valve-styled campaign for the most part so it's fun to play, looking forward to future versions.

Review

Your typical unbalanced trollish campaign filled to the brim with bullshittery. There's a lot of running in this campaign, many tanks to fight, many witches to avoid and some puzzles to solve, it will keep you going for a long time. There is a lot of supplies provided, but unfortunately it doesn't really help just due to how unbalanced the infected spawns are. Very unfun, avoid.

comedy

Review

Fantastic remake of Cambalache, I have to say that this is one of the prettiest L4D2 campaigns I have played, it has a stunning level of detail which in my opinion is better than Valve's simplistic take at mapping (where there's a lot of sparse areas that leave a lot to be desired.) Being a remake, this version has quite many differences compared to the original; familiar but also fresh. I really like this campaign. it is just aesthetically beautiful and flows really well, can be a bit confusing where to go sometimes, but you only need to play it once to memorize the layout. So yeah it deserves a high rating, well done author!

Review

Very bad campaign. The big stinker chapter 2 chapter 2 which is just full to the brim with witches, which makes it an absolute nightmare to play, although not impossible of course. Chapter 1 is fine, it's just a simple forest map with a few tanks to deal with. The finale is also a very simple & easy holdout finale. Not a lot of effort was put into this campaign and it shows, the pointless witch spam on chapter 2 is completely unnecessary, but otherwise it was still a very mediocre experience.

Review

This is not a campaign.

Review

Yeah, it's not much to look at right now as it's unfinished. First impressions from the first map though is that the author is going for a very handcrafted experience rather than letting the director take care of things completely, so there's a few scripted special spawns and a linear sequence of scripted events you must follow to progress in the map. I'm interested to see the next update to see how the campaign progresses.

Review

Terrible, typical troll campaign. Definitely one of the least interesting and blandest hehe campaigns, and yes it's your typical spam tanks and witches troll campaign. The maps are incredibly bland, just a completely awful campaign.

Review

Yeah, not a bad campaign. It's pretty simplistic and attempts to artificially inflate the difficulty by spamming tanks and witches when it can, but not to an unmanageable degree, you can usually just play the strategic game and backtrack to kill the tanks when you need to. A nice enough challenge with... a weird sequence on chapter 4 which is a very light "puzzle" solving thingy which I imagine might confuse some people, but I figured it out pretty quickly. The bots will not be much help on this campaign and frequently get stuck or die due to bad navmesh, and well, unless you're clearing the path for them they will die anyways. The aesthetic is... I don't even know a word for it to be honest lol, but I find it charming. Interestingly despite the fact that 12 maps are listed to play, the campaign ends on chapter 5 with a gauntlet finale, which is odd, I wouldn't mind the campaign being a little bit longer, but 12 maps is probably too much for my liking, so.. not a terrible middle ground. I'm interested to see if the author will update this to include the other maps or not, which may change my opinion drastically, but that remains to be seen. Overall very average but somewhat charming campaign, not for everyone, a pass for most, but not bad for enthusiasts.

Review

Yeah, pretty rubbish troll campaign. The gimmick of this campaign is you have to deal with jockeys but your weapons get taken away from you when the map spawns them in, so you have no choice but to run the opposite direction, it's pretty unfun and frustrating.

Review

Wow, actually not a terrible hehe campaign. Feels like chenchen wanted to actually make a campaign that isn't just troll city. I will say the finale does overstay its welcome and drags on for far too long (about 20 minutes,) too many tank waves. The chapters were more or less fine; if a bit short and quite uninspired, although the skyscraper chapter was really cool, wish it was longer. Whilst not that great of a campaign, not terribly bad either, pretty average.

Review

Another typical troll campaign packed to the brim with tanks & witches, it's what you'd expect from a hehe campaign, there's not much fun to be had here unless you enjoy dying over and over.

Review

Typical troll campaign, not as infuriatingly difficult as some of the other hehe campaigns, but has its fair share of trolling and bs. I could see this being fun for people who enjoy this kind of stuff but eh, I'd skip it.

Review

Excellent rendition of No Mercy. A fresh feel to an ancient campaign, it still "feels" like No Mercy but is clearly quite different in many ways. Definitely worth a play.

Review

I've played this campaign countless times now and it's indeed an excellent re-work of Dead Center to fit a Christmas theme. It has no issues worth talking about, it works flawlessly and houses quite a few secrets for the players to find which is nice. Definitely worth a play if you somehow haven't played this campaign before.

Review

I was expecting this to just be another "change the skybox and call it a day" campaign, but was pleasantly surprised to see that the author bothered to make new paths for the survivors to take. It gives the campaign a completely different feel and is pretty kickass. I'm sure there's other small changes that aren't worth noting, but yeah, it's nice to see a somewhat different Dark Carnival.

Review (REPOST FROM SOURCE)

An absolute classic, a campaign I've played well over 50 times, and no wonder, it's perfect in my opinion, I don't see a single problem with this campaign, great map design, pacing, navmesh etc. It's great! Can recommend as a Valve quality campaign.

Review

VPK is corrupted.

Review

Yeah this campaign is mainly a panic event simulator, but it's a competent one. Somewhat repetitive but I didn't mind, I enjoyed.

Review

Fantastic campaign with a unique aesthetic. Pretty edgy and that's fine, heh. Perfect for Halloween if you're into the gritty stuff.

Review

Really sick facelift of Dark Carnival. Lots of love poured into this campaign, and it shows. Many secrets to be found along the way, and interesting changes... so enjoy!

Review

Yup, it's Swamp Fever with Hard Rain's storm gimmick, and it fits the campaign very well, has a nice aesthetic to it.

Review

Does not show up in the campaign add-ons menu

Review

Nice little campaign. Has a unique aesthetic and is short & sweet. No issues encountered.

Review

Very short & very easy campaign, one chapter long. The map design is fine and thankfully the author addressed the major issues with this map so it's a lot more playable now. Finale is extremely easy, so... yeah.

Review

Yeah this campaign is pretty broken. So on chapter 1 you pickup a large crate which completely blocks your view, I tried turning down the FOV but that didn't help either, so it was impossible to see anything, In retrospect *maybe* thirdpersonshoulder would've helped but that's besides the point; what kind of design decision is this? At first I thought the saferoom was broken, but no you do indeed move this large crate which the game doesn't tell you to do btw, very, very silly. The saferoom transitions are extremely janky. The bots sometimes spawn out of bounds, I spawned hanging on a ledge in chapter 3 and the bots couldn't get to me.. Speaking of bots the navmesh is pretty bad, especially on chapter 1, in fact bots are pretty much useless on this campaign, don't play with them. Now there is clearly some effort put into this campaign with the design of the levels, but unfortunately it's extremely unpolished which really holds it back. It's a pretty short campaign as well clocking in at 20 minutes maximum, 15 minutes if you're quick.

Review

Yep, it's basically what you'd expect from chenchen. Troll tank spawns gallore, intentionally made to annoy the player, minimal effort. Hard pass.

Review

You know the saying "some things are better left on the cutting room floor"? I think it applies very well to this campaign. I can say that I personally enjoyed DBD Too, DC and Extended a lot more than this version. It feels like everything in this particular version just exists to annoy the player, the forced infected spawns, the random incaps on chapter 1, the god-awful "don't let 50 zombies in" panic event on chapter 3 is back, and even worse than the DC version (or was it Too?); you have to start the chapter all over again if you fail. This version also I must say feels a lot less traditional than your typical L4D campaign, there's a lot more tasks for you to do, which; once you do once, you'll basically be able to speedrun all of them.
Playing with bots is an absolute nightmare and highly not recommended (the panic event to bring the cooler up is super slow on chapter 3 with 1 person,) you absolutely need human players for this campaign if you want to have any fun. Speaking of the 50 zombies panic event, you have to holdout for about over a minute I believe, and yeah, it's very tough, because even the zombies that spawn inside the mall; I'm pretty sure they can also enter the trigger to add to the counter if they simply run through the door.

Hank is made extremely annoying in this campaign (even though I'm sure that was the intention, and well, he already kinda was heh.) 
With all that being said though, it is interesting to see what could of been, although I think the re-works are far better than this version for sure, and a lot more user-friendly, I think the events on this campaign require a lot more team co-ordination, especially on higher difficulties. Oh and one little issue, the truck model on the finale is missing. So yeah, in conclusion, avoid playing with bots, and play if you have a competent team that isn't afraid to face a bit of trail and error.

Review

Meh, pretty decent campaign. Nothing I was overly impressed about, but it gets the job done. I have played these maps already from an older version (they're slightly different now but it's mostly the same.) A pretty standard series of maps with cool layouts and a bit of trolling from the author, nothing too severe or rage-inducing though, in some ways they can add to the experience. I have nothing insightful to say about the maps, nothing really stood out to me so... yeah, no issues found.

Review

Yeah.. wow... I'm not even going to rate this. I cannot believe this was released in such an insultingly unfinished state. Navmesh; completely broken, don't even expect to see much infected. Clipbrushes? pfft what are those? Have fun skipping a lot of the first map if you know the right spots to do it :). A pointlessly large pool of health for a metal barrier you need to shoot to progress (you have no guns btw.) If you die, you spawn in the floor, and have to restart the campaign. Chapter 2 is completely unfinished and doesn't have an ending.

.

For some reason this campaign seems to lock my server up after a map reload or two, it doesn't explicitly crash it though, which is odd.

Review

Very cool campaign, a very unique theme and very mysterious in nature, the environments are super cool, and are the most enjoyment to be had in the campaign. The only bad thing about this campaign is the navmesh, it needs some serious work, both bot survivors and infected struggle due to the terrible navmesh. But other than that, it is a very worthwhile campaign, such a cool aesthetic.

Review

Fun reimagining of The Parish, the only let down is that there's no proper finale, it just ends in a saferoom, and that's it. But either way it's still very fun, and the way the maps are all linked together with the new areas is so seamless and nostalgic.

Review

Really creative campaign! Such a simple but effective aesthetic, it works really well. The wand gimmick is pretty cool I guess, even if I'm not a fan of being forced to use certain weapons, it fits this campaign. Map design is on point, nice length, doesn't overstay its welcome, yeah, 10/10 I like it!

Review

Absurdly & and pointlessly difficult campaign. Compared to the original, it's "shorter" alright, but that's only in map length, because you will be dying far more often on this campaign compared to its predecessor. Tons of troll tank spawns (in the saferoom as well..), impossible unless you're playing on a modded server that favours the survivors, a huge guessing game ensures on chapter 2 onwards, as you have to guess the correct invisible path whilst smokers try and kill you... awful. The finale is just a super long survival section whilst an infinite array of tanks spawn from the centre of the map. Unfun, boring, unoriginal, waste of time.

Review

Well I can't say i expected much else from the sequel to a campaign I already didn't like, but I think I enjoyed myself a bit more this time around. Now of course, you're going to get trolled a lot, most of them are pretty predictable though. And yes, to be perfectly clear, this is absolutely a troll campaign, not to sadistic levels like "hehe" but a troll campaign nonetheless. Everything is actually pretty well balanced in this campaign (unless you're playing with bots lol, yeah don't) and the finale even has a selectable difficulty which is really nice, and it's not too absurdly difficult either. My only grievance is I'm generally not a fan of non-traditional campaigns and this clearly is not intended for single-player, but it's not a terrible campaign.
To conclude, don't play this campaign solo, bring a party of 4 preferably, and only play if you're willing to get trolled a bit. You wont understand the humour because it's intended for a Chinese audience.

Review

Pretty bad campaign. Chapter 1 starts off alright enough, although there's a weird pick-a-door thing going on which is impossible unless you understand Chinese and the question it asks. You will notice the lack of detail on the maps straight away, which isn't really a problem for me. Either, way chapter 1 is the most straight forward and easy of the bunch, point A to point B. Chapter 2 is quite the slog unless you know how to bunnyhop, which will save you a looot of time. A very long boring highway, walking in a straight line with some obstacles along the way. 
Chapter 3 is a pretty bad chapter. You start off by doing a mini holdout section for a bit and then you progress to another holdout section, this one has a lot more infected to deal with, so much so that the server will start to lag. You will most likely get trolled at the end of this chapter by the pick-a-door bit & the troll tank spawn at the end, have fun.
The finale is meh, a lot more infected to deal with this time around, with good co-ordination you'll do fine.
Overall a simplistic but rather boring campaign with pointless difficulty spikes & trolls. I'd skip this.

Review

Very good campaign, the use of custom assets really sets it apart from the others, and whilst it certainly has a traditional formula, it's quite refreshing to see something other than the typical Valve assets. The environments are great, honestly very pretty campaign (except the skybox on the finale) and plays pretty well (except the really narrow doorways, they're a bit awkward.) The only issue I encountered was the elevators; they're way too cramped for four people, and you have to push the bots onto two of them, including the escape, which is again, very awkward. Nevertheless a very enjoyable traditional experience, definitely recommend giving it a go, as simple as it is.

Review

Campaign had potential but unfortunately, terrible balance on chapter 3 just ruined the whole experience for me. But we'll get to that, let's start with chapter 1. Despite the poster claiming it's a "small map" it is anything but, because it took me well over and hour to finish, which was over double your typical L4D campaign so... quite strange. The campaign I'll say; is very creative and the author was definitely thinking outside the box when they made this. It doesn't follow the traditional L4D formula... at all really, so it's a pretty unique experience.

Anyways chapter 1 is moderately difficult. There's a lot of different paths to take, as the map is quite non-linear, thankfully, there's plenty of director hints so you theoretically shouldn't be getting stuck, but expect to get lost. You have to complete a cola delivery missions and then another transport mission whilst there's an infinite horde, that's what the challenge is here. Be careful at the end of the chapter, if you aren't paying attention after the teleporter sequence, you can easily die and have to do the entire chapter all over again, which is pretty brutal.

Chapter 2 is also a pretty creative one overall, a very "trippy" experience for sure, you climb trees... navigate a maze... Have a fun holdout section, do a short, but rather annoying parkour section.. (can't imagine doing this on some dedicated servers.) Yeah it's pretty fun.
Chapter 3 is where it all falls apart. Shortly after leaving the saferoom, you will be shot by NPCs, but the problem is; you have little to no cover and they do a RIDICULOUSLY large amount of damage, doesn't matter what difficulty you are playing on, pretty terrible and frustrating. The ending to the chapter is just a pretty simple gauntlet, but man it's pretty tough alright, you'll need some competent players for this one.

So yeah all you need to do to fix this really is reduce the amount of damage the soldiers deal and it instantly gets rated higher in my books, but yeah that was a pretty dumb idea to have their damage output that high in my opinion. Otherwise, a pretty competent and unique campaign.

Review

Pretty bad campaign overall, horribly imbalanced and greatly favoured towards the infected. I'm assuming this was intended to be played on modded servers because even with a 4 player team, beating this on anything above normal difficulty can be very difficult. To start off on chapter 1, it's a very simple chapter and it introduces you to the campaign's gimmick, which is tacking a ride on a vehicle for a long stretch of distance whilst you're assaulted by the infected. This chapter actually plays well and is probably my favourite of the bunch. 

Chapter 2 introduces a bit more free roaming, albeit in a very linear manner. There's a somewhat cool custom objective where you build a bridge, but it's very simplistic. 

Chapter 3 is where the BS factor really gets turned up a notch. Oh and I forgot to mention, there's never any supplies in the saferooms which is just a really dumb design choice, because if you're low HP from the previous chapter, you have to hobble your way to wherever the supplies are located, which admittedly probably aint too far from the saferoom, but still, it's an unnecessary annoyance. The end of chapter 3 offers zero direction on where you're supposed to go after delivering the cola, so you're forced to restart once or twice to figure out the correct way to go.... I hope you have high willpower...
Chapter 4 is extremely confusing to non-english speakers as you're given no direction on what you're supposed to do, I'm assuming the objective is layed out on the notice board outside the saferoom, but if you don't understand Chinese, you're ******. The chapter ends with another vehicle ride.

Chapter 5 is even more nonsense, featuring a crap ton more tanks compared to before... limited supplies on a very long ride to the saferoom, and is pretty frustrating.
The finale ends up being wayy easier than the previous chapters as you have a ton more breathing room thankfully, so at least it doesn't end on a headache too...

Conclusion; avoid playing this with bots, if you have a 4 man team, you can maybe have some fun, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Review

(Just reposting this from the unofficial ver)
Wow, this is a long campaign, might be one of the longest I've ever played, apart from the Half Life 2 campaign. There's a lot to talk about, this is gonna be a long one. Chapter 1 settles us in quite nicely, and kind of gives you a feel of what you're getting yourself into, all the maps will follow this pattern of not having much direction on where to go, so you will be spending a lot of time exploring the open ended chapters. The mapping right off the bat is quite janky and doesn't really follow the usual.. "logic" shall we say of a typical L4D2 map, not everything in these maps is collided the way you'd think they are; the objects I am talking about, you can walk right through a lot of objects in this campaign, thankfully in some cases it will prevent the survivors from getting stuck which is nice, but it leads to a rather.. odd or immersion breaking experience, if you care about that that is...

Just going to get this out of the way right now; do NOT play this campaign with bots, a very unfriendly bot campaign with some chapters becoming very challenging due to bad navmesh at times (complex level geometry) and others being flat out unbeatable due to damage-sponge bosses, which I'll get to later.

Anyways, chapter 1 is a fine chapter and one of the nicer ones I have to say. Chapter 2 is where I was really impressed, and honestly, definitely my favourite chapter without contest. (Can I just say I love the comic-style transition cinematic you got goin' on between levels, really awesome.) Chapter 2 has you fighting your way through a moving train, and where it introduces the very... unique concept of the infected being able to use vehicles... Yeah, pretty crazy alright.
Chapter 3 is definitely a you like it or hate it chapter, a super open ended dark forest. In which; you'll have to complete certain objectives which aren't that difficult at all, just takes a very long time to traverse the map and you have no clue where you're going most of the time due to being at night.

Chapter 4 is an underground.. base or facility. This is the chapter where you can say goodbye to useful bots, as they will probably commit suicide off the ladder at the beginning or later on.. Still a pretty tame and enjoyable chapter though, pretty crazy level this one, I quite like the mysterious feel to it.

Chapter 5 is a huuge facility map, a whole underground bunker that spans a long distance and everything. i died so many times on this chapter but I have to say I had a lot of fun on this chapter, you get a pretty cool adrenaline rush hauling ass throughout the facility. The director can screw you over real bad on this chapter so get ready to start malding as the director throws a special at the worst possible time..

Chapter 6 is a really straightforward defend chapter, you're just holding out against the infected for a while on a chopper, a really cool cinematic feel to this chapter as you're circling an island.
I finally had to take a break on chapter 7 as at this point my playtime was well over 2 hours.
Chapter 7 is a brutal chapter with bots, but absolutely possible, very wonky geometry and navmesh on this chapter in particular (you can definitely get stuck in some places). You can cheese a tank spawn or two if you just retreat to a point to where they cannot follow you anymore.

Chapter 8 is where the BS factor definitely steps up a notch... A brutal obstacle course with a huge emphasis on trail-and-error based gameplay. I wouldn't be surprised if many people get impatient with this one, I wasn't bothered to beat it legit after a few attempts so I just god-moded my way through.

Chapter 9 is a labyrinth. Pro-tip for those who don't know: just follow where the director spawns the special infected (excluding smokers) and it'll put you on the correct path.
Chapter 10 follows the same labyrinthian style, although not as much. A large underground facility that you must escape from.
Chapter 11 is absolutely crazy, you must navigate through a flying place and attempt to escape. This chapter is impossible with bots and one of the more frustrating ones. For the final shootout with the enemy chopper, I would've added a lot more supplies or a healing station of some kind, it's quite difficult to dodge their attacks, and just ended up being un-fun.

Chapter 12 is yet another maze like map, this time outside though, you're just looking for a vehicle to escape with.
Chapter 13 is a really cool shootout chapter, again impossible with bots, where you must defend your truck from enemy vehicles. If you're familiar with Glubtastic 3, this and the next chapter follow the same formula to that campaigns train chapter.
Chapter 14... the finale. My least favourite. The epitome of filler/padded content right here, you take on the same custom enemies over and over again, which are absolute damage sponges by the way, an absolutely brutal chapter that I would be impressed to see a group take on honestly. I must've been playing for around 30 minutes (not counting the other fail attempts), and I was still going! I decided to call it quits early as I was just extremely bored.

So, after just over 2 hours yet again, I "finished" the campaign, totalling almost 5 hours of gameplay I'm pretty sure it was. What a mess this campaign was, I have to say, the first 2 hours were quite a blast and a lot of fun, following chapter 7 however, the BS factor was increased to such a degree that I stopped having as much fun as I did in my first play session. I feel like L4D2 absolutely was not made for having boss fights, and this campaign might be the epitome of my opinion regarding that.
I'm not going to call this campaign bad, because it certainly is not, a lot of love and time and effort was clearly put in here, I guess it just isn't for me, and certainly not for everyone, but I am curious as to what others think.
If you feel up to the challenge... get a group of 4 and take on this 5 hour beast of a campaign, and see how you fare...

Review

Yep, it's Cold Stream with Hard Rain's storm gimmick... Actually suits this campaign really well, I think i prefer the aesthetic of this one to the original honestly, feel more "cold" in a way. Anyway, only a minor nav issue at the end of chapter 2, bots teleport into the saferoom.

Review

Pretty good campaign, intense experience overall. I will say it's just a flat out unpleasant experience with bots, and I understand that nothing can be done about it, but I just wouldn't recommend playing this solo, the bots cannot avoid the landmines and will get themselves killed easily, so unless you want to go at a super slow pace and get far back, and snipe out the landmines if ya can, it's just not feasible. There's also a lot more special infected which I mean, come on, if I wanted more special infected I'd play a mutation, i don't need this in regular campaign. Either way if you've played Half-Life the maps are super familiar, you complete menial objectives to progress most of the time which require you to explore a little bit. Pretty fun though if you're a Half-life fan, not a bad take on the maps included, worth a play.

Review

I encountered a very bizarre bug on this campaign, not sure if anyone else has, but: on chapter 2-4, the bots would not defend themselves whatsoever, I was shocked when I peeked at the health of them when I was just rushing, to see that they went from full health to basically none. Even though I was gonna do it anyway, it basically forces you to speedrun the maps if you want to survive. Thankfully when they respawned in the closet on the finale, they did actually help me fend off the horde. But yeah I mean all of the campaigns I've played recently didn't suffer this strange bug, so it might have something to do with this one, I didn't change anything so, might want to look into it.
With that out of the way, it's Blood Harvest with Hard Rain's storm gimmick, I didn't even notice it tbh lol, the campaign is already naturally foggy to begin with, and you spend a lot of time indoors so, kind of a waste.

Review

An odd assortment of maps. The first one seems to be based off of some Chinese karting game, presumably mobile, but a pretty standard map, terrible navmesh on this chapter though, didn't see any special infected for a while because they were stuck behind the walls. Chapter 2 is pretty cool, it's Dead By Daylight in L4D2, well sorta. You start up the genies and avoid the infinite tank spawns, it's actually pretty fun. Chapter 3 is where quality takes a nosedive. You traverse a bland, featureless open map, which takes a good few minutes. The next chapter is more of the same, but you get a pretty well designed boss fight at the end which was a treat. The finale is the toughest chapter, it's... "based" on League of Legends although I say that lightly as you just pump lead into some statues and then have a pretty long holdout finale, like really long. The navmesh isn't great on the finale so you can find a spot to at least avoid the commons to make it easier, but boy is there a lot of them, don't be surprised if it takes you more than a few tries.

Review

What seems simple on paper, turns out to be a pretty challenging and difficult campaign. All chapters follow an incredibly predictable formula, you walk for a while and then you have a gauntlet (about 50% of the map) to the saferoom with extremely aggressive special spawns (Cold Stream levels we're talking.) Chapter 4 ended up being the most difficult chapter bar none; very limited supplies, the aforementioned special spawns, TWO boss spawns which is incredibly unfair given the limited supplies and the chance of a tank spawning during a gauntlet, completely ridiculous. On this chapter you basically have to get very lucky and hope the director spawns the tank before the gauntlet, then hopefully you'll make it. The way I'd balance this chapter is remove the tank spawn, only witches allowed, and maybe some more minor health like pills, adrenaline spread out a bit. Was quite enjoyable (still took me 1 hour 20 minutes lmao) but pretty repetitive I will say, the theme is pretty cool though, I like the temple aesthetic.

Review

Very basic but neat campaign. The first chapter almost reminds me of "Super Mario 3D World" although I don't think it actually is. It's got a "cute" aesthetic I suppose, very basic but it works, it's charming. Chapter 2 is literally just backtracking but taking a slightly different path, and you deal with church guy, have fun cheesing the tank spawn. Chapter 3 is a weird one, so we take a shit from this initial aesthetic into the standard Hammer dev texture area with some minor objectives to complete. Then all of a sudden we transition to a portion lifted directly from "2019 Anniversary Edition." I hope the author got the author of 2019's credit to include this bit, because if not, it's literally shameless plagiarism. The finale is just a small arena with a concert holdout, really easy. Pretty short and sweet campaign, although the plagiarism here worries me a bit.

Review

Yup, it's Dead Air with Hard Rain's storm gimmick.. Fits this campaign pretty well though. Interesting that you included your Dead Air prologue for chapter 1, I don't mind, extends the campaign a small bit. There's definitely more boss spawns, I could tell, a fine way to add difficulty to the campaign. For some reason there's L4D2 infected on The Terminal, but eh, who cares.

Review

Wow, this is a long campaign, might be one of the longest I've ever played, apart from the Half Life 2 campaign. There's a lot to talk about, this is gonna be a long one. Chapter 1 settles us in quite nicely, and kind of gives you a feel of what you're getting yourself into, all the maps will follow this pattern of not having much direction on where to go, so you will be spending a lot of time exploring the open ended chapters. The mapping right off the bat is quite janky and doesn't really follow the usual.. "logic" shall we say of a typical L4D2 map, not everything in these maps is collided the way you'd think they are; the objects I am talking about, you can walk right through a lot of objects in this campaign, thankfully in some cases it will prevent the survivors from getting stuck which is nice, but it leads to a rather.. odd or immersion breaking experience, if you care about that that is...

Just going to get this out of the way right now; do NOT play this campaign with bots, a very unfriendly bot campaign with some chapters becoming very challenging due to bad navmesh at times (complex level geometry) and others being flat out unbeatable due to damage-sponge bosses, which I'll get to later.

Anyways, chapter 1 is a fine chapter and one of the nicer ones I have to say. Chapter 2 is where I was really impressed, and honestly, definitely my favourite chapter without contest. (Can I just say I love the comic-style transition cinematic you got goin' on between levels, really awesome.) Chapter 2 has you fighting your way through a moving train, and where it introduces the very... unique concept of the infected being able to use vehicles... Yeah, pretty crazy alright.
Chapter 3 is definitely a you like it or hate it chapter, a super open ended dark forest. In which; you'll have to complete certain objectives which aren't that difficult at all, just takes a very long time to traverse the map and you have no clue where you're going most of the time due to being at night.

Chapter 4 is an underground.. base or facility. This is the chapter where you can say goodbye to useful bots, as they will probably commit suicide off the ladder at the beginning or later on.. Still a pretty tame and enjoyable chapter though, pretty crazy level this one, I quite like the mysterious feel to it.

Chapter 5 is a huuge facility map, a whole underground bunker that spans a long distance and everything. i died so many times on this chapter but I have to say I had a lot of fun on this chapter, you get a pretty cool adrenaline rush hauling ass throughout the facility. The director can screw you over real bad on this chapter so get ready to start malding as the director throws a special at the worst possible time..

Chapter 6 is a really straightforward defend chapter, you're just holding out against the infected for a while on a chopper, a really cool cinematic feel to this chapter as you're circling an island.
I finally had to take a break on chapter 7 as at this point my playtime was well over 2 hours.
Chapter 7 is a brutal chapter with bots, but absolutely possible, very wonky geometry and navmesh on this chapter in particular (you can definitely get stuck in some places). You can cheese a tank spawn or two if you just retreat to a point to where they cannot follow you anymore.

Chapter 8 is where the BS factor definitely steps up a notch... A brutal obstacle course with a huge emphasis on trail-and-error based gameplay. I wouldn't be surprised if many people get impatient with this one, I wasn't bothered to beat it legit after a few attempts so I just god-moded my way through.

Chapter 9 is a labyrinth. Pro-tip for those who don't know: just follow where the director spawns the special infected (excluding smokers) and it'll put you on the correct path.
Chapter 10 follows the same labyrinthian style, although not as much. A large underground facility that you must escape from.
Chapter 11 is absolutely crazy, you must navigate through a flying place and attempt to escape. This chapter is impossible with bots and one of the more frustrating ones. For the final shootout with the enemy chopper, I would've added a lot more supplies or a healing station of some kind, it's quite difficult to dodge their attacks, and just ended up being un-fun.

Chapter 12 is yet another maze like map, this time outside though, you're just looking for a vehicle to escape with.
Chapter 13 is a really cool shootout chapter, again impossible with bots, where you must defend your truck from enemy vehicles. If you're familiar with Glubtastic 3, this and the next chapter follow the same formula to that campaigns train chapter.
Chapter 14... the finale. My least favourite. The epitome of filler/padded content right here, you take on the same custom enemies over and over again, which are absolute damage sponges by the way, an absolutely brutal chapter that I would be impressed to see a group take on honestly. I must've been playing for around 30 minutes (not counting the other fail attempts), and I was still going! I decided to call it quits early as I was just extremely bored.

Review

Another god-awful troll campaign with 2 maps. It's your typical trail and error stuff, you get trolled and die and hopefully don't get trolled and die on your next run, that's basically all this campaign is. Bots aren't supported but it's not even worth playing this with friends.

Review

Yep, pretty good, I like the change the storm makes to the atmosphere of this campaign, it's a nice change.

Review

A very good campaign, generally I am not a fan of running around like a headless chicken looking for items to progress, but kudos to the author for making it a lot more bearable in the latest update (Items have a further highlight range, and the finale was made a bit easier having more locations to place the items; so you're not running around for 10 minutes looking for the last one, lol.) Map design otherwise is on point, with a nice variety of scenery, cool ideas and locales. No other issues encountered, worth a play.

Review

Definitely the weakest of the "Strom mode" campaigns so far. The problem with doing it for No Mercy is you spend most of the campaign indoors, AND it's already storming on No Mercy to begin with! All this does is decrease visibility slightly! So, the storm effect isn't even noticeable until chapter 3 when you actually get to spend the beginning of the campaign outside, but these moments are so sparse you might not even get a storm effect, unless you notice the slight haze effect indoors. To top it all off, the elevator is bugged on chapter 4, a special infected spawned inside the door at the top for me, and the door would not open as a result, so you just have to hope that doesn't happen to you.  The finale is when you can actually appreciate the increased stormy weather but yeah, this ones is a hard pass, even without the elevator bug, this is peak laziness and just completely unnecessary.

Review

How NOT to design a campaign in practice right here.. Chapter 1: pretty short, infinite horde spawns with a crappy tier 1 shotgun and 2 boss spawns, not the worst but pretty awful. Chapter 2's navmesh is broken, my bots spawned on the table because they died on chapter 1 and they couldn't get down, and it's impossible to complete this chapter without more than 1 player, because you guessed it, infinite hordes again. The finale: a pointlessly long ladder climbing bit (hope you know how to speed ladder ;)) with a terribly balanced finale that would be a nightmare on higher difficulties, no supplies given for the finale, just your crappy T1 guns and 4 medkits from the saferoom, the rescue takes several minutes to arrive too, so have fun dealing with infinite tank and special spawns while you wait!! Absolutely atrocious.

Review

Yup, it's the Sacrifice with Hard Rain storm gimmick... and yeah it's identical otherwise, some minor details like the unlit fire barrels, that's about it.

Review

It's Crash Course with Hard Rain's storm gimmick... very uninteresting, but I did notice that you extinguished the fire barrel on chapter 2, that was a nice touch I guess. heh

Review

Yup, it's Swamp Fever with the Hard Rain storm gimmick.. not as bad as it sounds on paper, the visibility is still as low as it normally is lol. And that's literally all there is to comment on, it's identical otherwise..

Review

Again, not much to comment on here, just The Parish with The Hard Rain storm gimmick. Works as intended.

Review

I like the small attentions to detail you put on this one, the flooded areas & the survivor dialogue, really nice stuff. I appreciate that you didn't flood the finale lol, although would've been interesting.

Review

Well, it's Dark Carnival with Hard Rain's storm gimmick, not much innovation here, but well I guess it's a new experience, certainly gives a new feel to the campaign alright. Thing is, these campaigns are kinda invalidated when you remember there's a Sourcemod plugin to have random dynamic weather, but nevermind :P

Review (Not)

vpk is corrupted, re-upload or fix it please.

Review

Yet another terrible troll campaign, featuring the standard 100 or so tanks to deal with along the way, useless bots (don't play solo), barely any supplies anywhere (seriously supplies distribution is a joke, barely existing) extreme trail and error based gameplay so have fun dying a lot. The chapters are nothing exciting just a lot of obstacles, parkour and "funny" troll moments. The only chapter I can say I had some fun with is chapter 10, low gravity is fun, but item hunting; not so much. Chapter 11 is an extremely long, repetitive tower segment that takes FOREVER to reach the top, buut you do get a pretty cool boss fight at the end, but hey if you die, have fun climbing all the way up ;). An annoying issue I encountered was I would sometimes spawn out of bounds after dying, so I'd have no choice but to return to lobby and re-launch the map. And to top it off, a hilariously easy finale map, which pales in comparison to the rest of the campaign. Some maps are also poorly optimized, so hope you enjoy high-ping gameplay too. Avoid at all costs, unless you're one of those masochists :)

Review

Very interested to see how you rework this campaign, and I'm curious as to why you decided upon it. I am a fan of the finale re-work as I found the original a bit too easy, the main culprit being the scaffolding cheese heheh, so if it's for increased difficulty I'm all for that. Looking forward to future versions, keep it up, no issues found on my end so far.

Review

Yep, it's one of the first custom campaigns made for L4D2, now slightly extended, which is nice, the map was pretty underwhelming to begin with (unsurprisingly) so this doesn't make it much better, but hey, now it has a gauntlet ending, and I believe there's more props, so either added or repaired. It's a 1 chapter long campaign which can be beat in under 10 minutes, so you're not missing out on much, still a cool bit of history.

Review

Great work so far. The campaign features a lot of breakable props which is always fun to have, the campaign uses it as a gimmick as you have to break through some planks for supplies and to progress. I love the atmosphere and design of the map, bloody brilliant. No issues I encountered, looking forward to the full version.

Review

A very repetitive series of maps. A whole 25 chapters of 'em too. I forgot to check how long it took me to play, but I'm pretty sure it was certainly over 3 hours(!) Each map usually follows a formula of sorts where you go through your typical L4D experience with LOTS of witches and quite a few tanks as well per map (for the most part,) as well as light-hearted trolling you'd come to expect. This campaign is pretty much unplayable with bots as the navmesh greatly varies in quality but on some maps it's just undoable. There are some creative ideas from time to time, but ultimately not a campaign that I'd spend a night with friends on, it's just way too long, quality over quantity, as they say. A game limitation is that you can only select up to chapter 15 from the menu, so you'll have to use map change commands to select any further chapters. Some maps suffer from that bug where if you or anyone else dies, they teleport to the end of the map, skipping it entirely, but not all maps have this issue. For some reason the finale kept crashing on me so i wasn't able to experience the ending, but from what I experienced it was a somewhat fun obstacle course. Yeah.. I'd say pass this one, sorry I was just drained after only a few maps.

Review

Pretty good campaign. Nothing bad I can say about it really, levels are layed out nice, supplies is plentiful, and lots of panic events to be had. Mapping can be a bit amateur, but it doesn't put me off, pretty enjoyable, can be pretty crazy on higher difficulties too, quite fun.

Review

Nice to see the intro bug was fixed, but again there isn't really much point to playing this "campaign" as it's just a short map that ties into the rest of Dead Air. It's a neat idea.

Review

Excellent campaign, highly recommended. Creative ideas, good layout, great pacing and a lovely cinematic experience. Definitely a keeper for sure, awesome job on this one author. Just a small exploit I found on the finale, you can stand on the table in the little caravan, it has no navmesh so it's a godspot (see attached image.) No other issues found though. My nitpick is I'm not a fan of the colour correction but I understand what you were going for, the "cold" feeling with the washed out colours, have enough of that from playing Skyrim heheh.

Review

Fairly long campaign with a typical urban environment, the chapters do take time to complete and have a lot of area you can explore. Lots of boss spawn as well, so expect to see more than a few witches on your travels lol, it's needed though as the campaign has a lot of open area, so it adds some challenge. The finale interestingly enough is actually pretty short, the common waves seem to not even last a minute and go right on to the tank, strange, but interesting. Well balanced and worth your time, give it a try, pretty good one.

Review

Pretty cool and creative campaign. What starts out like your typical L4D campaign takes a very interesting turn on chapter 2. I won't spoil it, but... be prepared for some minor puzzle solving, it's actually quite fun and caught me off guard. The plot is pretty absurd and mysterious, it revolves around gnomes, with a pretty hilarious ending cutscene. Nice work author, good stuff, no issues found.

Review

A sub 10 minute "campaign." It's a short walk to the tent with the radio where an interesting scenario plays out; you're stuck inside the tent, via a forcefield. Now I did think this was actually quite interesting... if it didn't end up breaking on me. So I think what happened was, the bots managed to escape the tent when the first tank came but in the process, they must've hit a trigger to spawn an invisible wall there instead, so I was just completely stuck inside the tent, even when rescue did show up. A pretty silly mistake to have on such a small project I must say. The map itself is pretty unremarkable, just a small bridge in the middle of nowhere.

Review

Sub 10 minute "campaign." It's a port of The Lost Coast from HL2, which existed purely to demonstrate HDR lighting, so yeah.. The map plays fine, but it's just a map so, you'll be over and done with faster than you can finish eating your dinner, pretty easy going too, the church is an OP place to camp, infected pour out through the entrance, so you can sit on your ass and be fine.

Review

Just updating my review here, I'm glad you brought the general changes you made to Dead Air here, makes it stand out more for sure compared to the official version. I support the idea of you taking more creative liberty if you need to divert from the source material somewhat to make it more interesting. Still feels basically the same otherwise as No Mercy, although the changes you made to the Hospital rooftops (not the finale) are pretty interesting, makes it a little bit less likely to get punched/charged off. The bots on the finale seem to rush to a spot under the chopper before it arrives if you're too close to it, so they'll usually die trying to get back up lol.

Review

Without a doubt, one of the worst campaigns I have ever played in L4D2. The ultimate troll campaign, impossibly long, impossibly boring. Have fun trying to beat this, because it will take you a very, VERY long time, as this campaign is designed to waste your time, in the most boring and egregious way possible. 15 chapters of absolute boredom. The only actually somewhat cool chapter is chapter 9 which has PoTC inspiration. Either way please value your free time and avoid this at all costs, even masochists(?) There are far better ways to spend your free time.

Review

Shaping up to be a nice campaign, looking forward to the final product. Can't say I have any complaints, it plays well, areas are pretty open and that's what you were going for. No issues encountered on my end, nice work.

Review

Not great. Chapter 1 has an annoying bug; if you fall off the elevator, you're stuck because you cannot call it back down, however if 1 human player reaches the top, everyone else can go idle and the bots will teleport. The map design is bland with not much "flavour" just very generic and not interesting. The finale is pretty cool as you backtrack through chapter 1 of the original Illusions. Speaking of the finale, it's always a bad idea to just have long ladders that the infected can block/cramp, the bots will almost always fall to their deaths and it doesn't leave much room for human players either. An okay campaign, but not great overall, pretty bland.

Review

Despite what the title might have you believe, this is NOT a combination of QE and QE:Alpha Test, this is its own thing, taking concepts and ideas from the original two. And you know EXACTLY what to expect if you've played the original two, if not... Then it essentially revolved around grenade launcher based puzzle and complete random chance, aka luck oh and memory (writing numbers down. ;)) And this doesn't disappoint in that department, if you were itching for more Questionable Ethics, then go ahead and play it, if you prefer traditional campaigns, avoid.

Review

Meh, it's an alright campaign. More Chinese environments, with an emphasis on the school. A lot of endless hordes/gauntlets that's for sure, nothing absurd though, it's all manageable. Pretty short one at around 25 minutes usually. You can skip this campaign unless you're a custom campaign enthusiast like myself.

Review

Awesome. I love your own twists and design choices you've added. Not to mention the attention to detail, bringing over the L4D1 tank sounds and saferoom door for example and of course TLS L4D1 infected. I swear it almost feels like there's gameplay changes too, like how the common infected are more focused rather than scattered about, and it felt like the game is running faster, like the speed glitch in unpatched L4D1 lol (probably just me.) The things I remember that changed in the versus version are the crane event layout and the optional terminal panic event turned into a mandatory gauntlet. Good work with this one, great to see how you've improved since this was called the "Classics" series.

Review

So I actually managed to play through the entire campaign this time around. It took 2 hours. It's funny because I didn't really like this campaign back in the day and how do i feel today? Well, some aspects I like, others I don't like, it's certainly not my favourite campaign but I'd imagine a superfan of Silent Hill or someone who grew up with it would really, really like this campaign. Generally speaking; I'm not a fan of non-traditional campaigns; that is to say: ones that deviate from the L4D formula (linear maps with rooms to scavenge.) This one is non linear (duh). I'll say having the items highlighted in this version helps SO MUCH you don't understand how better that makes the experience, because you're just not sure what to pick up because not everything is obvious and they're easy to miss (probably a big reason I didn't like this campaign back then.)

There's a wide variety of environments, and the lighting is either superb or so dark you can only see what your flashlight illuminates, pretty nuts. The occultism is cool (always something I "enjoy" don't take that the wrong way heh.)
Alright I've been all over the place this review, let's get down to business: I will say it's the main gimmick of this campaign and that's to scavenge for "key items" or something that helps you progress, which... I didn't mind too much, the problem arises when you occidentally walk past a room you're supposed to search, then you end up wasting a bit of time wandering around, thankfully didn't happen to me too much.
The formula reminds me of a game I actually played a lot "Amnesia: The Dark Descent" where you do the exact same thing in a horror environment with more gimmicks. 
I will give kudos to the author, I don't know if it was Leafo or Dzhigurda that placed the supplies around, but it makes the campaign actually beatable and enjoyable since you're never in a situation really where you're screwed so long as you're not getting hit by every special infected.

As for bugs, for some reason on the chapter "Alternative Hospital" it seems as though I could open the safe room door early(?) I'm not actually sure, I THINK I got a key, but anyways the bots wouldn't follow me in, so you either slowwly push them into the room and then the saferoom or you just kill them right there, navmesh needs fixing here either way or whatever this problem is.
The finale is a bit anti-climactic I will say, but... does it really need to be some epic holdout finale? Nah I think it's fine the way it is, you need a quick ending after a 2 hour long campaign lol.

In conclusion; avoid this campaign if you don't enjoy non-linear map (aka looking around for items to progress and solve "puzzles.") If you don't mind that though, enjoy yourself, allocate time, grab some friends and enjoy the 2 or more hour long experience in one sitting if you can, there's fun to be had.

Review

Really easy, but good campaign. Love the setting, reminiscent of the Half-Life 2 Alleys. Can be a bit confusing where to go sometimes, not an issue for me, but just a heads up, not really a problem in this campaign though. You end the campaign with an absolute joke of a finale where barely any infected show up, at least make it challenging (I didn't even fight a tank!) Still enjoyed the campaign though, the environment is pretty cool.

Review

Pretty good campaign. However the navmesh can be better, especially on chapter 3, the bots can and will get stuck when you have to take that really tight hole down to the double tank spawn. Other than that it was pretty good, nice variety in environments, and generally good layouts, chapter 3 might not be so obvious where to go, but you'll hopefully figure it out :).

Review

Great campaign. A bit on the challenging side, it's a good bit of fun. Mostly just an urban environment through the streets of China. Medium length campaign doesn't take too long to beat. No issues found, worth a play.

Review

Yep, just like the last one, this one is also some hot garbage. This has to be one of the weirdest combinations ever. Anyway chapter 1 & 2 are designed to waste your time. You spend all your time on chapter 1 looking for switches to press to progress. Chapter 2 is a super long series of holdouts, but make sure you find the switches and press them, otherwise you'll be waiting around for nothing, navmesh is also broken on chapter 2 so kill the bots. The finale is your typical finale and is the only chapter I actually enjoyed. You have to wait a few more minutes in this finale until rescue arrives. But yeah, skip this.

Review

Not a bad campaign. Chapter 1 is as simple as it gets, you have a straight line to the saferoom and a forced horde. Chapter 2 is also straightforward enough. Chapter 3 is interesting because it is a long way but you eventually make it to a radio and start  holdout finale, it's really easy and once that's done you're onto the real finale, which is again another long walk to a pretty difficult scavenge mission. Why is it difficult? Well there'll be a lot of tanks spawning in, that's why, it's not insanely difficult, just a good bit of luck is all you need and perhaps good strategy, there's only 8 cans relatively spread out so yeah. Nothing too special about this campaign, but it's fine.

Review

Classic from 1SGHeartless, he makes good campaigns. Good work patching it up guys, I enjoy the little bits you've added to give it more story heheh. Pretty good map design all 'round, don't really have any complaints other than nitpicks so who cares :P. No issues found, fairly typical L4D1 campaign with some quirky stuff, it certainly tries to be unique. Recommended, give it a go.

Review

Not bad. Map design is okay, although a bit bland at times, the first map reminds me of one from "Hunt Down The Freeman" lol. it's a loading dock, so a bunch of shipping containers in a maze-like layout. Chapter 2 is a pretty standard map. And the finale combines a scavenge scenario and a holdout scenario. It contains a pretty annoying bug though, if you miss the radio and decide to go look for gas anyway, if you fill up the tank before talking to the guy, even with just one gas can, you wont be able to start the finale (see attached image.) Overall though, not bad.

Review

Whilst not technically a troll map, it might as well be some form of trolling. So my big problem with this campaign is the tanks spawn in from of you instead of behind you, doesn't that defeat the purpose of a tank run-inspired campaign? Also chapter 4 sucks, you have to cross a tiny bridge whilst under constant threat by smokers, good luck with that one, the finale is absolutely absurd and possibly impossible vanilla. Not only is there like no supplies to be seen, the rescue boat takes several minutes to arrive, so good luck fending off the constant hordes and tanks for long... What a joke.

Review

Really one of the most pointless maps ever made. Some tiny modifications to No Mercy chapter 1, and then you just play No Mercy. But hey, there was a tank on chapter 1 this time..!

Review

Competent campaign. Despite the in-game description calling it the "hardest campaign of all.." I think it is anything but personally, it's your typical L4D1 style campaign. My only complaint is that the "panic event" at the end of chapter 3 is dreadfully long and doesn't even extend long enough to the point where you're just sitting around picking your arses whilst you wait for the gates to open up. Other than that, as I've said a competent medium length campaign. Oh and also, this version has far less hordes than the earlier version, so it's easier.

Review

Great campaign. Always enjoy myself some Half-life action. Only problem I had was for some reason chapter 3 crashed on me, twice. This happens on a few other random customs, and this seems to be one of them, no idea why. Anyways, I aint gotta explain the maps to you, just play them and have fun :).

Review

Ah yes, the dreadful "hehe" series of campaigns, part 5. It's your typical hehe campaign, with troll special spawns galore, lots and lots of tanks to go along with it. The map design isn't actually bad, but the inflated difficulty makes them bad. I played through this campaign without tanks just for fun, and it makes it a lot more enjoyable. I had no idea how to progress on chapter 4, maybe if I understood Chinese I actually would, but I had to bypass it. The finale is absolutely disappointing, it just ends with no conclusion, is the shortest map and you don't even get a holdout scenario or anything it just ends, and the stats are broken as well... Anyways really, only play this campaign if you're a ********* because that's who they're made for, avoid otherwise.

Review

Pretty mediocre campaign. Just saying it now: Chapter 1 is nearly impossible with bots, or at least a nightmare. It's a 21 can scavenge scenario with constant hordes and specials plus the occasional tank and a tank every 5 cans in the generator. I don't understand first of all why this wasn't the finale map, as this is BY FAR the most difficult chapter in the campaign, it's pretty ridiculous. Chapter 2 is a very short chapter with some troll special/boss spawns, nothing special. The finale is a pretty barren open map with some objectives and that's it... you win. Yeah you can pass this one.

Review

*REPOST FROM SOURCE Great campaign. However, the optimization was poor in some areas, mainly in chapter 2 and 3. Ranging from about 30 ping to 60 ping on a local server. Loved it. Great custom models and textures. Great map design. Plenty of supplies. No bugs/glitches. No botnav errors. Nice work.

Review

Very amateur campaign, that's for sure. Chapter 1, you make your way through familiar environments as it's largely re-used assets, but I don't mind. Chapter 2 is definitely the worst chapter, and just bad. Very barren map design with very little to look at, and it's supposed to be a labyrinth of sorts and yeah, you can guess how that is. Although you are at least given arrows to follow so you can't really get lost. You are given very minimal supplies throughout the campaign, that's for sure, but it should be enough to make it through regardless. The finale, can either be difficult or a cakewalk depending on where you camp, so choose your position wisely. I wouldn't recommend this campaign unless you're like me and have to try every campaign, otherwise avoid.

Review

Nice little campaign of medium length. It feels distinct enough to not feel like an original campaign, the custom finale helps this. You'll mostly be tracking through offices with some exterior locations as well. Speaking of the custom finale, it is critical that you do the scenario you're given as fast as possible, so you wont have to deal with the horde & tank spam that comes after the 2nd tank, just a friendly tip :). I'm glad the instructions were written on the wall for the finale, I couldn't hear a word of what the guy was saying, he's too quiet. Worth a play.

Review

It's insane how many revisions this campaign went through, I wasn't here for all of them, but I can remember some, it's cool to look back at the changes that were made. You make your way through the urban streets of China, and.. well that's pretty much it. The map design and atmosphere is really good, and has you going through the streets, back alleys, and apartment complexes. This campaign is an average difficulty campaign, so everyone can play. No issues I could find, this one's going to become a classic.

Review

Awesome lengthy campaign. Interesting variety in environments, a custom boss fight; it may not be obvious what to do at first, but you'll figure it out :), re-playability thanks to director controlled paths and a nice challenge! (hordes & tanks galore) Only had 1 minor nav issue on the cave chapter, bot got stuck in the saferoom but warped eventually. Definitely worth a play for those looking for a challenge :)

Review

Pretty cool campaign! It has a lot of cool custom stuff which I wont spoil, but the author was certainly creative here. It starts off like a typical L4D1 map, Blood Harvest assets, which I honestly didn't expect. You are eventually treated to a custom event, which doesn't spam hordes at you, so you can take your time, but bear in mind this particular event will take you out of the action for a little while, depending on how long you take :). Only thing I don't like about chapter 1 is an unnecessary scripted charger spawn at the end in the saferoom, no need for that crap. Chapter 2 is a super long chapter which takes you underground, and it's pretty awesome and tricky to get through. What REALLY surprised/shocked me is the author legitimately used ZERO boss spawns (Although perhaps that's because it's unfinished?). That's right I couldn't believe it myself. Yeah chapter 2 is a lot of fun. The finale is a little walk to a scavenge event, and it's REALLY easy, the hordes are almost non-existant and as I've said, no boss spawns. It doesn't take long as there's only 9 cans (Also for some reason the game reported three of us dying, which wasn't the case, weird.). Honestly, with all that being said, don't be afraid to make it harder, this ones a little... too easy-going, but obviously don't go too crazy, but feel free to add some director boss spawns and make the finale a bit more challenging. As for issues, there's some missing models and textures, but thankfully they don't interfere with the gameplay, and there really only on the finale ( a few exceptions) so it's only an eyesore. Overall; worth a play, give it a shot.

Review

This is a pretty good campaign. The map design and atmosphere is great, there's a lot of intrigue, mystery and generally cool layouts. This campaign is not without its flaws though. This campaign suffers from that bug where if you die on one chapter, on map transition you will spawn at the end of the map, in the saferoom, bypassing the entire map, and well, all the bots died, I spawned inside a table so i teleported to them at the end lol (happened on chapter 4). The finale is also very easy (I'm noticing a pattern with these ports) and both finale tanks suicided for me because they could not navigate to me due to poor navmesh. So a flawed campaign but still worth a play I think, it's not bad, pretty creative one.

Review

Fairly standard L4D1 campaign, has some cool unique bits, but overall it's that traditional L4D experience from beginning to end. Map design is fine, and nothing particularly interesting about the environments. Finale is really easy, but the finale technically never ends as the credits don't show up. Also funny thing that happens if you're near the tracks; the bots will run in front of the train and get themselves killed at the end lol.

Review

Your short typical run of the mill average campaign. It's 2 chapters long and lasts roughly 20 minutes, the finale is super easy, and chapter 1 has some interesting level design I will give the author credit there, I did enjoy climbing all over the place. No issues found.

Review

Yeah this is a scuffed port alright... lol. First of all, the navmesh on chapter 1 is barely functioning, director doesn't populate the world that much, only special infected and hordes it seems, also the bots get stuck at the start, so you have to kill them. Things seem to take an upward turn on chapter 2.. at first. The navmesh is now working properly, but then we hit a roadblock: the parking lot. After ******** around for a bit I found a way to progress by jumping on the yellow truck and jumping over the stacked cars blocking an entrance, there are invisible walls around here for some reason but it is indeed possible to progress, which makes me wonder what the actual intended way to progress is, either way this is dumb. Chapter 3 is actually a pretty confusing chapter to navigate so you're gonna spend some time wandering around... unless you get stuck in the sewers bit, because I did due to the sketchy terrain.. great, good thing I have admin powers... The finale is as basic as it gets which is typical for L4D1 campaigns, and the rescue may not be obvious at first but you should notice it eventually (hint it's around the radio area.) Pretty easy campaign overall but a pleasant experience... if it didn't have all this bugs. Also fun fact: you can jump out of bounds on the finale through the breakable wall, by the crashed helicopter, idk why you would want to do that... when you can just go backwards and camp by the indestructible door and wait out the finale.. lmao.

This campaign is hilariously broken, yet I still enjoyed myself, I don't think others will think the same way either way, this needs work, badly. Oh, and also... your fire entity is missing on the finale...

Review

*REPOST FROM SOURCE Pretty good. Lots of panic events, LOTS of 'em, so it'll keep you on your toes for sure :). Pretty decent balancing, I didn't think it was unfair at any point, and provided a good challenge, you might have to look around to find your way around the campaign, it isn't always pointed out to you. One issue I will say is that the tanks tend to suicide, a lot.. because they spawn too early (usually when the map starts.) Environments are fun, urban good amount of variety too.

Review

Another low effort campaign. The darkness is a fun challenge I'll admit, but the other thing that's pretty questionable is: the survivors do not shut up! For some reason the author made them talk on and on about everything, which was charming at first, but definitely overstayed its welcome. A few extra tanks and wandering witches, nothing crazy. It's fun, just low effort.

Review

Really low effort campaign with minimal changes that makes things worse than they should be. First of all, there's already a daytime version of The Last Stand (The Last Daylight) and it's far superior. Second, the skybox makes the maps look really bad (see attached image.) As for the changes, they're not good.. at all. The crane event lags now (ping spike.) There's just a bunch of random wandering witches at the end of chapter 1 which are easy to avoid thankfully, but unnecessary. There's an extra tank to both tank waves, which is cool, I don't mind that. The worst change however, is there's two groups of extra gas cans for the scavenge bit of the finale, which... why?! Completely unnecessary, and 1 of the 2 bunches is placed all the way at the dock, which takes forever to transport, just a waste of time. Oh and there's a Back 4 Blood poster on the finale... yay. Just play The Last Daylight, lol.

Review

Idk if it's a problem on my end (idk why it would be) the map is broken, there's missing textures everywhere, wireframe, and the game just crashes after travelling a bit in the campaign, needs to be fixed, or if you know of a solution let me know, as nobody else seems to be having this issue.

Review

Not bad, not bad, not great though. My main problem with this campaign is the environments feel way too barren and copy/pasted, chapter 3 being the biggest offender of the latter, and chapter 2 with the former. I genuinely got stuck on chapter 1 due to the fact I literally decided to go down the staircase instead of using the elevator "it'll be faster I thought," well I ended up wasting probably 20 minutes because of that decision, why? Well you see, there's a random locked door down the staircase that i knew was the way to go, and to add to that theory, i could search the file cabinets nearby, so i was probably unintentionally misled by the campaign because of this. This needs to be different, not lest because of the samey rooms that give you extra supplies, this is not how you do exploration properly. So either: 1. add a game instructor hint 2. block off the staircase entirely, or 3. just open up the damn locked door, no reason for it to be locked anyways, just bad map design.

With that rant out of the way, I've already given my thoughts on the map design, the finale is inoffensive, just your typical holdout finale, nothing special. Average overall in my opinion. No issues (bugs) found though.

Review

This was an awesome campaign. I love the cinematic experience you've provided, it actually flows really well in L4D2. Chapter 1 & 2 are your typical chapters with the simple task of going through the map with minor objectives. Chapter 3 is a simple scavenge mission and for fun i tried it without the recommended add-on, but it seems impossible without humans lol. Chapter 4 is really interesting and has you carrying out various tasks in a mall, to make it a safer place. The finale is kickass as you get to fight human NPCs, although obviously you cannot do much with them in L4D2, it's still really badass though and it was a lot of fun, great way to end the campaign. I honestly think that everyone will get a kick out of this, so long as you play with the add-on of course, a lot of fun and well done to the author.

Review

Perfect 4 mapper campaign with a highway you must travel through, lots of fun, highly recommended.

Review

Good campaign overall, but not really a fan of the finale, I guess I picked the wrong campaign spot, because I didn't even know what/where the rescue vehicle was, but apparently it was a random green train, that needs to be made more obvious, as the last thing you want is to fail the finale when rescue arrives, because this campaign has an extended finale with many more tanks, but you are given a lot of supplies to work with, still easy to get overwhelmed but you'll learn the layout. Yeah I don't have much to say about the first 3 chapters, they were fine, I have no praises nor no complaints, they were pretty average I guess. I like the idea of the campaign being mysterious, supposedly you're living in a nightmare, but we don't know for sure, right? Didn't find any issues anyways, so I would say give this campaign a go, and see what you think, it's no masterpiece but not bad.

Review

Wow. Gotta say I'm impressed with the creativity in this campaign, it certainly tries to stand out from the crowd! A really awesome chapter 1 with an easy, but cool puzzle. The author made sure to highlight objects you need so you wont get stuck/lost easily. The finale is a "Let's Build" finale, a community concept where you scavenge for supplies and have a buying system akin to... Counter Strike I guess. One thing I will say is the navmesh in the finale, not sure if it's intentional but the specials get stuck on the cars, making them easy prey, and in turn the finale a lot easier too. That's all I really have to comment on, the level design is great, and although 2 chapters may not be enough for some people, I just gotta give it 5 stars for the creativity alone, clearly a lot of attention to detail too (besides it usually takes 30ish minutes anyways), well done.

Review

Very unfair, flat out unbalanced, poorly designed campaign. Before I start bear in mind this campaign has difficulty settings, and I was playing on the lowest: NORMAL. To start with chapter 1, it's a long, egregious, sluggish scavenge mission in a big open area. I will say the layout is cool aesthetically but not pleasant gameplay-wise. You do get aid from the L4D1 survivors but their positioning kinda sucks and they don't actually help much. After you spend a good 10 minutes or so, you then finally have a gauntlet to face, a rush to the safe room so you better make sure you and your team are prepared, cuz if you fail, you do it all over again, and this is a theme for the rest of the campaign. Oh and I should mention, there's an increased population count which means a LOT more infected, oh and the author decided on aggressive special spawns as well, because of course they did, not uncommon to see a double special spawn.

Chapter 2 is quite a boring uninspired barren forest map, where you run for probably 5ish minutes and then get a 3 minute holdout section and a very short, but crucial gauntlet to end it off, again; if you fail, you're doing this map all over again. And now for the worst map of them all; chapter 3, a very long generic, samey sewer section with virtually 0 direction on where to go, all the while you're getting constantly spammed with infected. I couldn't actually finish this map, because there's an absolutely ****** wide open water section with one boat, which if you fall off or in my case, get teleported because the game thought I was stuck, then you have to SLOWLY walk through the water with no idea of which direction you're supposed to go, with limited supplies. Just.. awful. The finale isn't finished so yeah, that's it. 
All I can say is, if you're into masochism, which in fairness, some are, not me, then this is your campaign, otherwise, avoid.

Review

Pretty good campaign! Map design is pretty good, supplies is plentiful, you are spoiled with medkits and the only chapters you should have a problem with are chapter 3 and the finale, because well... chapter 3 is a pseudo finale with a short scavenge event and the finale is a medium gauntlet with a crazy rush at the end. The only issue I can say is the navmesh on the finale (chapter 4) is pretty bad, you can cheese the tank by crowning the witch and campaign in the container, and also the bots get stuck a lot on chapter 4 too, so it could be improved. The first two chapters are pretty chill, and the campaign overall is enjoyable. Recommended.

Review

Harmless short little campaign, very basic but functional. Chapter 1 consists of scavenge, chapter 2 has a short gauntlet and the finale is really easy, and has a cool custom escape which I quite liked. No issues found.

Review

I'm not exactly sure what's "fixed" about this version, the navmesh is still really bad on the finale, specials get stuck and horde spawns are still sparse, but hey at least tanks show up now, and that annoying chopper sound seems to be gone. Also I forgot to mention this originally, but the stats are still broken (all credits stars are 0's...) Anyways, here's my original review:

Meh, pretty standard campaign overall I'd have to say, a bit on the easier side, only 2 chapters long, but chapter 1 provides a descent challenge, but the finale on the other hand; is way too easy. For some reason there aren't constant horde waves and tank spawns on the finale, but really, and I mean REALLY sparse horde spawns with an absolute surplus of supplies (also the specials get stuck behind a door, so you don't need to deal with them either), you even get all 100HP back when you enter the finale area, so the finale is an absolute joke as it currently stands (Also there's a really annoying chopper sound effect that constantly plays in the finale for some reason, even though there's no chopper around.) I will say the escape route is actually pretty cool, as you descend sketchy terrain into your rescue. I can't recommend playing this in its current state, it needs polishing up for sure.

Review

A rather pointless and low effort map, I would stick to special training maps as they have a purpose in improving your skill. Also Tumtara already provides special spawning anyway. Also common infected still spawn on the map lol.

Review

So I stand by what I said about chapter 4, I would've made it even 5 minutes instead of 10, but as it stands, a bit too long of waiting around on chapter 4 for my tastes. Also had a bizzare glitch on chapter 2 where a smoker pulled me into the gate that was opening right at the start and I died.. I guess I collided with it a bunch or something idk. Other than that though I had no problems with it, an average difficulty campaign if I had to put a label, not too difficult but not too easy either. Map design is fine, nothing wrong about it but nothing exciting either. Love the goofs (talking specials &.. other things heh) they're a good laugh.  I see the rescue vehicle actually drives out to the parking lot, pretty sure that wasn't the case before, also makes it more of a hazard because of the tornados constantly flying about, we wont question how they didn't get ****** into the tornado after getting into the vehicle heheh. Fun campaign, worth a play. Love your work goanna.

Review (Not)

Can't select the campaign in the menu. Hope this gets updated at some point and not abandoned :)

Review

Alright, let's get this out of the way first: This "campaign" (map) is WAY too short, I can beat it in under 10 minutes! But.. other than weird invisible walls, which I think are intentional, no issues were found, so it's a perfectly functional 1 chapter campaign, but you should make this into a proper campaign, as there really isn't much replay value in such a short campaign.

Review

Well... This is interesting... I guess lol. I like the idea of this map, but obviously I can't give it a high rating, since it's only half a map original content, the rest of it is literally just Dead Air. Even with such little original content, there's still a bug: the intro can softlock if the server loads before the client, which can happen on dedicated servers, but it's easily fixed with a restart campaign vote.

Review

Fairly good campaign. Only problem with it really is the aesthetics are really lacking, there's virtually little to no detail outside the bounds of the maps, a good example is the panning shot of the chopper leaving where you can literally see the box you get moved to during the credits as well (it should be under the map.) But gameplay wise it was a lot of fun and had interesting layouts to explore. No other issues encountered. Worth a play.

Review

Alright I played through this campaign yet again, must be the fifth or sixth time, honestly, this trashfire is not salvageable, which was obvious from the get-go, but anyways I did actually put effort into the finale, and after fight wave after wave of DOUBLE specials, DOUBLE tanks (specials spawning constantly during the tank fights!!!) I made it to a quadruple tank spawn and finally perished, and at this point I was bored out of my mind anyways, finale had been going for 15 minutes which is just crazy.  Here's the original review:

*REPOST Pretty low effort "troll" map (I use quotes as I don't really know if this is intended as a troll map) but either way a really bad campaign overall not worth playing. Chapter 1 is simple enough... at least on normal difficulty, good luck beating that on expert! You can bait your teammates to kill the mandatory tank and witch to beat the chapter. Chapter 2 is a face off with three tanks at first, then you fight your way through a long gauntlet, leaving your teammates behind.. probably. Then you spend probably upwards of ten minutes doing a holdout at the end of the chapter (no tanks only consistent commons) boooooring. Chapter 3 is a long, long gauntlet through a crap ton of alarmed cars (have fun hearing the survivors swearing over and over and over.) I somehow managed to beat this chapter alone after the first try, but very boring map, at least you have a fighting chance though. The finale is crazy, tons and tons of commons and probably more than a few tanks (I died after the first two) Terrible campaign overall.

Review

Well I don't really need to explain anything as the description explains what you're getting yourself into. As for issues I'm sure most are known, the ones I got where one of my bots teleporting through the elevator on chapter 2, killing himself. Also I will say the lack of closets on the campaign, the use of HL2 doors instead of L4D doors (I know it would be an absolute pain to replace them all, but it would prevent specials from getting stuck all the time and tanks from suiciding) is something to bear in mind when playing, supplies is minimal but there *should* be just enough to make it through, no infinite horde bs so it's fine. Another issue is the bots will never make it past the final fire segment on chapter 5, they will always die, and the director controlled tank can cause problems with this section, but it's random, so... Oh and one final issue is I believe on chapter 2, when the door turns into a wall behind you, I got stuck inside that wall as the last survivor, and I died lol.

Anyways, not a problem free campaign obviously, but I did absolutely enjoy playing it, the story focus actually worked surprisingly well for this campaign at least, so I was quite invested. I imagine some people might have trouble with the puzzles, but that can't really be helped (they're not that difficult though). The remodelled L4D1 survivors are pretty awesome I have to say, haha, I love small things like that (odd that they disappear on the next chapter.) Anyways, absolutely worth a play, definitely with friends, if you're jumpy, you might get jumpscared a free times, not really any cheap jumpscares (like obvious loud sound with image, none of that.) It's manageable with bots but not that pleasant.

Review

Terrible campaign, even if you get a group of players to play, it's not worth your while, nothing interesting going on, boring boxy enviornments that the screenshots basically give away. It's pretty easy though, trail and error and you'll be finished in no time, the "challenges" feel very tacked on and predictable, your typical troll map, not much to add...

Review

Nice to see this classic getting some love. A product of its time, being ported to L4D2 so early, there were missing models and sounds, it's almost like a different experience being able to see what was supposed to be there from the get-go, the jungle map is the most shocking I have to say. Still holds up even today.

Review

Perfect campaign with a very complex layout, it may keep ya lookin' around for a while! The maps are absolutely packed with objects everywhere, it gives you a very claustrophobic feeling for sure. You end the campaign with a brutal gauntlet, this one will keep ya playin' upwards of an hour, there's some interesting survivor interactions to be had too, I wont spoil them though. No issues I could find/ Also to the author: You can just rename the mission txt file and map names so this one wont clash with the newer version, which is very easy to do.

Review

Pretty much a perfect campaign, there are a lot more infected during the panic events, not a problem if you manage your resources though. The environments are whatever, you're mostly walking in a straight line, not incredibly interesting, but hey, it fits the campaign title I guess aha. No issues encountered. The finale gave me a chuckle, considering this was made for L4D1, i'll let you figure out why, heh.

Review

I enjoyed playing this campaign, even though I know it's not for everyone as this campaign features a LOT of horde slaying, lots of tanks and lots of running, but I will say it is fairly balanced and I didn't feel like it was unfair at any point. The finale; funnily enough was actually the easiest chapter due to the bad navmesh, go figure. Navmesh was pretty meh throughout the campaign, I had to wait for the bots to catch up a few times, and they'd often teleport, but honestly not terrible, it was fine. So moral of the story: if you're looking for a chill experience and take your time, I'd probably skip this one if I were you, but if you enjoy the madness, have fun.

Review

This, is a really awesome idea for a campaign. I'm generally not a fan of non-traditional campaigns, but this one surprised me, it's genuinely really well thought out, has a lot of depth to it and is great to play with friends. Obviously if you're not a fan of non-traditional campaigns you can pass this one, and well if you play with bots... don't bother. But this one has a big learning curve to it and I have to say, I really enjoyed it, nice work, custom assets are great.

Review

Review

Generally not a fan of these types of "campaigns", but for those that do, it's your typical tank survival map. It gets progressively more difficult, wave after wave, more tanks and so on. Pretty small arena all things considered, well at least compared to Tanks Playground. No issues found. Don't play with bots.

Review

Yeah apart from versus support this version is the exact same as the previous version, I still don't understand why this was released separately.

Review

So I already played an earlier version of this campaign, I'm not sure why the author doesn't just update the original file instead of reposting the campaign when they update it, but anyway. No improvements were made. And tbh I didn't even notice major changes, other than the finale actually having navmesh this time, so here's my original review:

Review

Nice to see this classic get polished up, thanks for the work, encountered no issues.

Review

Very challenging campaign! Not much supplies, loads of gauntlet and panic events and a tough scavenge-esque finale. It's kinda hard to understand what the hell the story is supposed to be, you pass by Zoey and later, Louis and you exchange very little words and never see them again, I guess they're just there for show but it did strike me as very odd. The only bad thing about this campaign is the navmesh can be a bit buggy at times, I would like to see it improved. Still great work on the campaign it was quite fun to play and offered endless action and not much rest lol. There also seems to be a diverging path you can take on chapter 1 which is really cool.

Review

Quality campaign and highly detailed, with confusing layouts and a requirement to do some searching for key items! Honestly I couldn't find any problems with this campaign, everything is very well balanced, plenty of supplies for players who struggle, no bugs or glitches either! A tip for people who don't know: follow where the special infected spawn/come from (excluding the smoker) they'll at least point you in the right direction. Great campaign, give it a try; you might struggle on your first playthrough!

Review

*REPOST  (for some reason there's two clones of this campaign now even though they change seemingly nothing) Death toll, but with a different skybox! Nah in all seriousness it's the L4D1 maps, without the L4D2 nerfs, so you can skip some bits here and there. An extra tank spawn on chapter 1 as well. And some minor revamps.

A great load of fun in this campaign. Could be a bit challenging on higher difficulties! Pretty creative level design which I always love to see, flashbacks to Hard Rain as you have to backtrack at chapter 4. Great supplies distribution as well. You are forced to go explore the map a bit in order to progress at some parts, but not all the time, a nice balance. Only issue I encountered was Louis spawning at the other end of chapter 1 when I started for some reason and the stats do not work as you haven't set a flag for the end music or whatever it is (idk hammer)  but no issues I could find other than that. Definitely give it a go!, this ones a keeper in my books, even if it's not the "epicest" of all time, just a great well designed campaign.

Review

Pretty decent campaign overall. Navmesh could definitely use some work though, for example for some reason I had my bots teleport to the area above the bridge on chapter 3, which they can struggle to get down from. Also, whilst not your fault the bots can commit suicide off of the ladders which is why mappers should get into the habit of having stairwells for the bots instead of long ladders, but it can't really be helped. Also the finale is way too easy, barely any infected showed up on the gauntlet section, and I found a dead tank later on (again, bad navmesh.) Some areas are a bit too bland/open or drag on for too long for my taste but overall not a big problem. A questionable decision to have no guns in some of the saferooms, but I don't mind. Map design overall is pretty decent though and nicely layed out, good challenge provided especially on chapter 3. The finale looks absolutely epic and intimidating at first glance (which ends up being a little disappointing because of navmesh), and that's about all I have to say for this one, not too bad.

Review

A fairly amateur campaign all round. Map design can be a bit confusing, you'll have to do some searching before you know where to go but most of the time it is pointed out to you. The navmesh is pretty damn bad, it's clear that it was auto-generated and never looked at again, bots teleport constantly and cannot navigate basic obstacles, specials get stuck a lot but it's functional enough to get you through the campaign at the very least. You can spawn outside of the saferoom if you stand in the wrong place, but you should be safe most of the time and teleport. The campaign can be quite challenging, there's a lot of hordes and a decent challenge provided. Really generous supplies distribution thankfully so it is certainly playable. The author does do a bit of trolling with witch spawns, but not too over saturated. The finale was the only easy chapter as the hordes literally stop right after you hit the radio, then you just kill a few tanks, wait for a bit and the chopper shows up. Overall a mediocre campaign, and not very good, definitely a pass for most people, but I didn't mind it.

Review

Cute short puzzle map. Doesn't overstay its welcome, not too complex, and spooky atmosphere, short and enjoyable. I worry about that tank on expert, but why would anybody play this on expert? lol

Review

This campaign is absurdly difficult for no reason, I would've enjoyed it a lot more if there wasn't so much BS thrown my way this campaign. This is definitely one of those "don't play on single player" campaigns because you're gonna have a pretty shitty time with bots. My first problem is the falling staircase on chapter 1, I don't know what I'm supposed to do, and because of that, every time I die there I get punished and sent back to the very beginning. First few times I tried jumping, but it seems there's something preventing me from jumping. Next few times I tried waiting and walking over, but I just ended up clinging to the ledge and falling to my death. So I tried holding jump so that wouldn't happen, nope not enough speed to make it. I gave up and skipped to chapter 2. I should also mention that safety circle in chapter 1 isn't actually very safe, spitter goo and tank rocks can still hit you. Also nice double jockey troll at the top of the ladders. Chapter 2 was fine enough I suppose up until the falling burning rock section where you INSTANTLY die if you get hit by one, in other words: all the bots will die here without question. If you make it past this and survive (which I didn't legitimately) you have a looong holdout with constant hordes and double chargers to instantly kill you, absolute BS. The finale is Helm's Deep and this one didn't go much better either, especially since the bots are forced to use melee weapons if they run out of ammo, which they suck with. Needless to say I didn't make it very far after a few attempts and called it quits to save my sanity. Now, what I will say is the map design is actually really cool and appealing to look at, very creative design, which is a damn shame considering how unnecessarily unforgiving and difficult this campaign is. The use of custom models is nice and adds to the immersion. But it really doesn't matter when the map plays bad.

Review

Yeah, I'm really not a fan of these types of campaigns. I'll say what i always say "I'm playing Left 4 Dead 2, not Amnesia:TDD or whatever else," and it doesn't really offer much replay value because it's linear. Chapter 1&2 are story like maps where you must find your way out (search everything.) I got through chapter 1 fine enough, but unfortunately couldn't find the pitchfork needed to progress for the life of me, after minutes of running around I skipped to the finale, which is your typical gauntlet. Whilst I do think this would be great in terms of say an Amnesia custom story, as a Left 4 Dead campaign? It's bad.

Review

Pretty good traditional campaign. I personally found it to be quite easy, but that's alright, and the map design in my opinion is a bit too flat, but other than that it's pretty good. No issues found, flows well, good supplies distribution and nice atmosphere, also that rescue vehicle lol.

Review

Definitely my favourite of the 4 Glubtastic campaigns, and for one main reason: there's a new checkpoint feature. Now the campaign doesn't feel like a slog to play through as there are checkpoints spread out throughout the chapters, some have more than others, two have none I think. Starting off with chapter 1 is a pretty standard map overall, reminds me of that one Chinese map that I can't remember the name of. You're going through an aeroplane in a pretty traditional chapter. Chapter 2 is where the BS factor ramps up because the special infected limit is something ludicrous like near 20 I think, so like Glubtastic 3, my bots tended to get kicked from the server because there's too many of them. This one is not bad at all once you memorise the keycard spawns, the checkpoints help a bunch, just gotta get lucky and run as fast as possible. Chapter 3 is a parkour map, again with ladders to save your progress, not bad. Chapter 4 is the one I found the most interesting of the bunch, and pretty unique. You go around an unknown dimension saving the L4D1 survivors (They use The Passing A.I of course) and they'll show you the way to go, so you can follow them and team up at the end for an epic holdout, cool! Chapter 5's gimmick is boat driving, and there's a risk of smokers. I feel like this is a bitch on advanced or expert because of the smoker's instant reaction, but no problems on normal or easy. After the boat section you're given a quiz about the campaigns, so if you didn't play the previous ones, you're gonna do bad, but no worries because there's a checkpoint right here, which kinda makes it have no risk factor but whatever. Then a short parkour section followed by a pretty standard layout to finish. Chapter 6's gimmick is custom tanks and witches, it'll probably take you a bit but once you figure out their gimmick, this becomes a pretty standard map with a pretty cool atmosphere surprisingly. And the finale is a completely custom boss fight that's not too difficult or easy, a good balance and a lot of fun, what a great finish to a great campaign! Chapter 2 is definitely the weakest chapter of the bunch imo and sets the expectation low for the rest of the campaign, but it just gets better as it goes on. A great way to finish a questionable campaign series... but I enjoyed it, good stuff.

Review

Another troll campaign yay.. Tank spam on chapter 1, unclear where to go, lack of supplies. Chapter 2 is more of the same, except there are medkits further in, bland as all hell. Chapter 3 is a pretty basic chapter, and surprisingly, no forced tanks, just a really short level. Chapter 4 is even more tank spam, and beware which path you take at the end! Chapter 5 is a pretty short tank ice "square" linear path you must follow to the end. And finally the finale is... well an interesting tiny bouncing off of boomers "parkour" section, aaaaand you guessed it into more tank spam, if you manage to get passed that, you win. Sigh. Oh and the bots don't work on the finale, may as well just bloody kick them from the game!

Review

Great map design overall, I'd block off a few areas (like the rooftop near the end) and that's about all I'd change, no other issues found surprisingly, looking forward to future versions, keep it up!

Review

Lengthy campaign and masterfully done for a first attempt! Found literally no issues, campaign is well balanced (a little too much supplies on the finale, but appreciated) and really has the quality to be in the game! Your standard traditional L4D experience up until the finale, which ingeniously combines both the gauntlet and holdout scenarios together which is just great (works great too)! Very impressive and definitely a keeper, bravo!

Review

Pretty fun and unique campaign! Author tries to innovate by using a lot of HL2 assets and it's good! Only underwhelming map is the finale, the gauntlet is a bit too short in my opinion. Some areas in the maps are too open/bland but overall not a big issue. This one lags for a bit upon a new chapter because of all of the physics objects lol. The map design overall is pretty good, good supplies distribution, and good map design.  Navmesh can be a bit of a problem if a survivor bot gets knocked into an area with no navmesh, forcing you to kill them on single player. Also the saferooms are a bit scuffed, the area that is actually considered the safe room is very small and infected can even spawn in the safe rooms! Other than that no other issues found, enjoyable and worth a play!

Review

*REPOST Pretty low effort "troll" map (I use quotes as I don't really know if this is intended as a troll map) but either way a really bad campaign overall not worth playing. Chapter 1 is simple enough... at least on normal difficulty, good luck beating that on expert! You can bait your teammates to kill the mandatory tank and witch to beat the chapter. Chapter 2 is a face off with three tanks at first, then you fight your way through a long gauntlet, leaving your teamates behind.. probably. Then you spend probably upwards of ten minutes doing a holdout at the end of the chapter (no tanks only consistent commons) boooooring. Chapter 3 is a long, long gauntlet through a crap ton of alarmed cars (have fun hearing the survivors swearing over and over and over.) I somehow managed to beat this chapter alone after the first try, but very boring map, at least you have a fighting chance though. The finale is crazy, tons and tons of commons and probably more than a few tanks (I died after the first two) also the bots cannot make it out of the safe room (bad navmesh) on this chapter so you either have to painfully push them out, or just kill them. Terrible campaign overall.

Review

A lot of interesting ideas, map author's like "let's just fuck them all into this one campaign," that's the vibe I get. Unfortunately it plays like doo-doo on single player (I appreciate the effort to get the bots to play along though), so I HIGHLY recommend you play with friends who are into masochism (as these chapters are not easy.) This campaign, and well these series of campaigns are highly trail and error based, so you die and learn from your mistakes. Onto chapter 1, pretty straight forward, you get a dodging flying boomers scenario, fight a tank, weird ice section, another flying-boomer section, fight a tank and then you do some minor platforming whilst dodging acrobatic boomers. Not nearly as frustrating as the other chapters. Chapter 2 has a really cool gimmick which is driving a vehicle. It doesn't control super well as it's based on source physics but it's alright enough, it's a bit wonky as I think if you drive backwards you're vulnerable to the infected for some reason, which I learned the hard way right at the end of the map. This chapter just has numerous problems. For some reason one of my bots got kicked from the server because of there being too many specials, never had that happen before, so I was with 2 bots for a while. I could not for the life of me find the key on this chapter when I played a month ago, then I pick it back up and I find it as soon as I enter the house... So it can't be that hard to find lol. The rest of the chapter is infiltration, with some thinking required, although that one section where you dodge the boomer's minigun in that narrow hallway is kinda BS because of the loud ass door sound you can't time it very well. The next chapter is a more linear slender map which I resorted to cheating as I just kept getting screwed by the director. Next chapter, chapter 4 is a pretty standard L4D map actually, not too bad. Chapter 5; let me put it this way - impossible with bots. An extremely difficult chapter which will make or break the team, a sort-of on-rails shooter thing going on here, although this time with much more bullshit. I think if the grenade launcher one shot most of the vehicles, or at least dealt a lot of damage this wouldn't be so bad, but nah, your best chance is positioning your team correctly (don't play with bots) or taking the L and cheating (which I did.) The finale is pretty straight forward, albeit gonna take some trail and error. You survive for a while, get a GL, shoot the.... Francis textures(?) and then you get one more big boy, and you win. 

Really frustrating campaign overall, pretty much a no-go for you single players out there, must play with friends who have a lot of spare time on their hands. That's about it, silly campaign with a bunch of gimmicks.

Review

Meh. Map design is mediocre and boring, and the finale is pretty buggy and kind of in an unfinished state (Invisible buildings, bad navmesh, buggy rescue.) But everything else works just fine, pretty standard 4 mapper with plenty of supplies and not much BS to speak of. Also a tiny issue, reflections are broken on chapter 1 with high graphic settings. Underwhelming, but harmless campaign.

Review

Very challenging campaign - limited supplies, limited visibility, more infected and more bosses, an intense campaign all 'round that requires your utmost attention to survive. Only problem are ping spikes when your map spawns more infected at the bridge sections, and the rescue chopper coming suddenly with no music indicating it arrives and it being underanimated lol. Although the campaign tagline says we'll see something strange on the rooftop, nothing really out of the ordinary, false advertising! Nice campaign, more supplies wouldn't hurt but it's obvious that's not what you were going for, and you succeeded heheh. Good stuff! Level design is fine, although a tad bit empty at times (like locked doors), but not really noticeable overall.

Review

Pretty enjoyable, really long campaign (clocking in at an hour.) Claustrophobic and complicated level layouts is this ones theme, and I found it to be quite enjoyable. No issues found, and my only problem with the campaign is the finale lasts way too long and overstays its welcome. I think it lasts over 10 minutes which is overkill imo. Pretty unique campaign and a bit challenging.
