Look, no matter your work quality is, i just want an ending. So when i play it on Expert Single Player Mode and suffer on first chapter till i figure out how to get to safe room while tank is chasing my a$$, then i find the second chapter like that, so 1 star is fair, man...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liked the idea of dark woods, but was so dark and no weapons to start with except for a melee weapon and pistols with 2 bombs which is really bad in such a dark way. Got to the second chapter, but sadly after a while and especially after first wave, nothing happened. I consider it a real waste to end up with no rescue to come and no statistics of how much time it took and how many was killed and by whom. This is what i always seek when i try a campaign and i always do it on Expert as a challenge till i finish it. Wish you could fix it and wish every published work is fair and a real challenge for every L4D player. Good Job over there, but the work is incomplete.

Deep in the woods you find uncharted land and underground areas where you try to escape from darkness and far much more all while trying to reaching civilization once more... was for jungle contest but ya.... Dont expect this to be great. this was one of the first campaigns i ever did and havent gotten around to polishing it up heavily yet. not sure when i will or if i even will. enjoy~

This was actually a pretty solid campaign. However, the map design was poorly done. There are noticeable stretched textures, grass not connecting to anything, floating on its own. It looks.. pretty bad, however I really like the concept. It looks pretty damn awesome, just needs to be polished. Also, you can fall into the water and be stuck and die instantly. You can also spawn inside the saferoom walls on chapter 2. Also, it needs to be clearer where to go, it can be very confusing at times. Other than that I enjoyed it. The navmesh was pretty descent and there was no glitches/bugs. So it was ok overall, just needs to be polished up quite a bit. And also, fps optimization issues in chapter one, struggles on low end systems.

Ah ok. We all start somewhere. No hard feelings man, if you publish work, prepare to get criticized. xD

PROS
Very detailed forest/ruins
Finale is pretty good
CONS
No variety in weapons
Torches don't flicker that much
Path not always clear, mostly because it's too dark
Bots didn't want to grab health/weapons in Map 2 saferoom
Bots wouldn't pick up Tier 2 weapon in finale area, using Tier 1 instead.
Bots liked to get stalled near the vine ladder to climb on the finale roof area- they'd stop doing anything.
Finale stalled on first try- 2nd tank never spawned so I was stuck.
Bots on second try make it to the end, but won't jump in the rescue vehicle to trigger the victory.
Lag
CONCLUSION
As a beta, this is nearly ready, and has the makings of a fun, albeit short, campaign. Not sure why it got abandoned, but after 4.5 years, clearly it's as complete as it ever will be, and it's not great as a finished map.

Pros
• Custom Soundtrack
• Great Concept and Design
• [50/50] Interesting Finale Location
• Detailed [Few Notable Areas]
Cons
• Flickering Torch Lights [Very Annoying]
• Confusing Pathway
• [50/50] Finale is a Little Frustrating
• Bot Problem [Map 2]
More fun than expected, pretty confusing at the same time and the campaign feels very mediocre.

Pros
======= In general =======
+ Nice design.
+ Water !!
+ A lot of medkits.
+ Supplies spread around more than enough.
+ Bot navigation was quite good.
+ Finale wasn't too bad either.
+ No need to give this up, dear author!
Cons
======= Map 2 =======
- AI navigation problems: getting close to rescue vehicle.
- Music was crackling.
===================
======= Miscellaneous =======
- FPS drops.
- Laggy.
- Very short, let's say about 20 minutes.
- Hate these flickering lights . . . .
========================
Well I really don't know why you are not updating this campaign. It isn't bad at all. Sure it's very short and has a lot of FPS drops, but its very good for people who love short campaigns. Honestly, I think you could add at least two more maps to this campaign, so that it get's even better. Don't give this thing up!
