Nice campaign. Lots of hordes but the maps have so many pipe bombs and molotov’s to counter that. The finale was super long but not too difficult due to the vast amount of pills and shots along the way. Give this one a try.

The map is good, simple, but good ( and have versus mode)....well, it seems that the author have a big fetish or passion for hordes.... i dont know why, but we have hordes (for no reason) everytime, everywhere, before you leave the saferoom, after you leave the saferoom. in some maps, i fight against 2 or 3 hordes after i leave the safe room ( almost 12 or 13 hordes in one map) .... man, really ?!. the horde comes even if you don't shoot any car or do any action that triggers the horde, they just come and come, sometimes come one behind the other and you cant go on. its very boring.
it doesn't make the map hard, just keeps you from exploring the map. But an interesting thing is that the ending can be different (one time you turn on the helicopter gas, the other you run to the helicopter).
Good

Very solid campaign

Nice campaign that is well balanced. Especially the 4th level with the moving train across the bridge was very nice. The finale is a bit difficult but enjoyable nevertheless.
A classic custom campaign - still holds up

I remember this one from several years ago, and after revisiting it with L4D2, all of the polish and pacing still holds up. The finale is a longer one and a bit tougher than the norm, in that you have to cover a lot of ground, but the items make it reasonable and it gives the campaign a different feel. Add this to your regular rotation if you haven't tried it yet - it is a gem.

Well built and adequately balanced, with possibly the exception of constant mini-hordes and periodically double Special spam. The finale is tough, but the supplies are plentiful. Those small Survivor conversation also add up to the atmosphere.
This was a long detour...

The maps were nicely designed,no errors,glitches or pink/black areas.
The atmosphere was good with the intro/outro.
There seemed to be a balanced supply of weapons/ammo/throwables on normal realism when I played.
Finale was interesting though the entire campaign was pretty challenging with lots of specials to fight with hordes.
Only cons were the bots seemed to get stuck at certain places,especially ladders. Aside from that I'll be keeping this in my addons folder.
