Pros

some nice spots to camp alot of detail to each room and outside nice shaders and lighting Lawnmower spewing blood horde start creepy atmosphere

Cons

falling to your death from high places if your not careful nothing other then that

great map, my fav house survival, great balance and detail make this a must play, make sure to check around the house!!

Unfortunately no, there is no m60 nor is there a golf club. I stopped mapping a while ago. If I ever return to mapping I may update the map and add spawns for these weapons.

Not a suggestion, just an observation.

When I did try and defend on the roof the chargers are what did me in. One or two were ok, but at times there were 3 or 4 coming up the sides at the same time so if you killed one or two the third would get you and fly you off the roof into the fence. Amsuing to see, but not fun to feel. :)

I would suggest not changing it and leave it as is to warn players "Don't defend here or you'll pay the price" kind of setup. Maybe spray paint a big skull and bones on the roof to give the player a hint.lol

Thanks for the review Lord Foul. Appreciate the positive feedback. All your cons were design choices. I wanted the combat to be very close and in your face that way fighting tanks is a lot more fun, chaotic, and challenging. The roof is something everyone seems to mention, it's purpose ISN'T to try to play up there. I know people want too but its meant to resupply your ammo and med packs if your holding up in the attic. If anyone has ideas on how to make the roof more playable and still maintain realism let me know since it's been the biggest complaint. (please no suggestions about adding a random fence, its unrealistic and I'm not going to add it unless i can maintain realism). I'll be updating the map and adding the m60 and golf club from the passing after i release my new Return of the Living Dead Survival map.

Pros

Detail Balance Atmosphere Lighting Theme

Cons

Small Hit off roof is instant death, still funny to see Some hits get you stuck on fence, so you die.

Great adaption from movie and fun to play

Pros

-Excellent Level design -I love house based survival maps -Great Survival Starting switch :P -Gory and Distrubing

Cons

-FPS were really bad and made this map one I only tried once

This map would be terrific if it was optimized better. My FPS suffered noticably and that always will turn me off to a map. Good design and I never saw Braindead but i trust that your attention to detail was spot on.

Pros

Gnomes are great addition high detail amazing layout exact replica really fun items well placed very colourful does the movie justice

Cons

glitching is possible no good places to hide out

Really fun map and well worth playing multiple times but it's not extremely good as a survival map Video review: Youtube /watch?v=KVtVqBUKPhk Annotations at end of first and second video take you to the next part. Hoped this was helpful to you and all L4D players everywhere =)
