While both maps have good ideas, and along with great design this would be a great map. But due to the amount of bugs, the second chapter being a total downgrade to the first one, unbalanced and repetitive gameplay, and is way too long. Hopefully the next map will be completely improved and polished. Also bots seem to get stuck a lot. I would recommend splitting up the maps for a way better experience. Also while optimized in some parts, the others take a whole turn. Even on a 1080 together with a I7, i drop from 250 to 70-100 fps.

I usually don't make comments on this website, but I decided to leave one this time and I didn't want to leave a review shitting on the campaign, its kinda a douche move when this is still in beta. Overall I do like the campaign, the brush work in some areas look really well done, map 2 has a lot of well done brush work in it, and there a lot of creative ideas in the campaign. Map 1: Having a majority of your level be in slow moving water is kinda a buzz kill early on for your campaign, lets be real no one really like replaying Swamp Fever or Hard Rain for those reasons. So having a lot of water sewer areas I think should be used more sparingly. Brush work in some areas is too complex/too taxing for the game, Mainly in the sewer area, if you can make some brush work into models or chop it down in some way, it helps lag for some people (I will get to that in a moment) The boat gun thing was cool very neat, Im sure it took a lot of work but the forced infected spawning is too much. I usually never lag or crash but at that moment is when my game visibly was lagging really hard. If you are going to have something like that either take away some of the zombie spawn scripts you have or have the boat gun thing be its own level. I think the fact the level has a lot of complex geometry and a bunch of forced zombie spawns is the reason why it lags for a lot of people. Even if the maps are optimized well, source literally can't handle a shit load of brush work. If want to keep the amount of brush work, try to make it into models so source has to do less work, although that take time and effort and knowledge about modeling so its your choice. All in all the gun boat thing is cool but if you have to sacrifice lag for it, it makes it seem less cool. Also I think the map is incredibly long, on its own it could be split in half, considering the ending is incredibly difficult and if someone were to die at that "finale" part of the level they would have so go all the way back, that alone would make people drop the campaign. Map 2--- Map 2 geometry wise is a major step up from map 1, I liked it a lot more, although I had more issues with map 1, map 2 still has the same issues with the forced spawning and forced difficulty spikes. Difficulty shouldn't be cheap, If I lose to a panic event or something, I should say "damn I really didn't strategize well enough for that event, lemme try something else", I shouldnt be thinking "wow I got killed by a forced tank spawn I had no way of preparing for" (something I am guilty of in the past haha) it really kills the players vibe with the campaign, you don't have to take away the difficulty but atleast make it so new players to your map have a chance at beating it on the first go. All in all this campaign is going down the right track, it's a lot of small things that kill the vibe for the campaign for a lot of people, but I gave some good advice in there and I know you are making more maps for the campaign so if you have any questions or want to bounce off ideas feel free to dm me!

Lots of fun. Cool music. Great work. Looking forward to your next maps!

when i played this map it was okay until the end of map 2 then it got really laggy

This is a positive comment so please don't take it wrong :). I've learned from playing over the years that horde spam really slows this engine down badly. Especially using scripting to control hordes. Not sure how you are controlling them (script or just by director panic events) but I've found it better balanced to use scripting. I found this a couple days ago. Some person was kind enough to share the contents of a lot of the vscripts from valve. I'm a big fan of this one for short runs at a time. Just make sure and let folks know to prepare. :). c2m4_barns_onslaught2.nut. This might help with the lag and horde control. PLUR :)
