This build quality is outstanding, and the maps have a nice flow, and good balance of supplies. Some panic events, however, seem to come out of nowhere, and the first aid trap was an example of "trial and error" gameplay as nothing whatsoever foreshadowed it. The finale is also kinda "meh"; it's a large rainy map with explosive barrels and machine guns, but none appear near the bunker.

The campaign is almost entirely good. The levels are well-designed, detailed, and substantial without overstaying their welcome, adequately supplied, and the level design is clear while feeling exploratory and not too linear. The environments are varied and interesting (for the most part) and there were no bugs or lag-spikes that we noticed. The events were also very good and the campaign on the whole feels playtested for appropriate resource placement. We would've liked more custom dialogue for the immersion, though. However, there are some issues that we felt really dragged the campaign down. / Issue 1: On Map 2, there is a fallen tree over water of death that everyone must cross. So why does it break when someone crosses it? This makes it impossible for other players to cross, they just drown when they try to go underwater. I can't see this as anything other than a cruel and spiteful trick or a horrendous oversight. I played this campaign twice and it happened both times. / Issue 2: The car alarm section in map 3; I kind of liked how you could trigger the alarms before entering the parking lot proper, but I didn't like how they just didn't stop until you reached some arbitrary distance away from the parking lot. It made progressing through the offices a real nightmare, especially if you're new to the map. Also, on one playthrough, we were careful to not touch or shoot any of them, and they got triggered anyway. Is it an automatic event? That would be pretty shitty if it were. / Issue 3: The final map is horrible. The section before the holdout with the raging storm is insubstantial, uninteresting, unnecessarily loud, and prevents communication with teammates. Maybe it's to mask the boring design is or the obviously copy-and-pasted section. It would be better if the saferoom had just led to the holdout area than dragging players around a totally needless and boring section. The holdout location is pretty crappy too, since it's very small and only has one direction from which the infected come at you. Granted, you don't have to stay there, but with the storm outside and how logical it is to be in that great camping spot, why wouldn't you? The ending is lousy and weak; you just get on a lift that takes you down, it pans out and ends? The finale really feels like a let-down from what could've been a much stronger campaign. / I really did like the campaign but it's obvious to me that a few fixes could drastically improve the campaign. I hope the designers come back to address these issues because they stand out in a campaign that's almost entirely good.

nice map! I like it!

PROS Incredible design Events well placed Challenging CONS In the parking garage event, bots got confused and I had to leave them. The way isn't always clearly marked. Health not at beginning, then springs an event on you when you find them at the broken bridge. CONCLUSION Really fun to play, but in every map the path will become unclear at some point. However, the biggest issue is during the parking garage- bots decide to not follow you when you drop through the hole, but they did eventually find their way to me by the gas station. But since they play fantastically otherwise (finding ammo, health, etc.) it's not too hard to deal with. Review Updated: 3/2016 Version 14

Nice visuals but, at least for me, playing with pistols... without melee (nor even a tonfa) and that shit of missing textures... were enough.
