Pros: -Real modifications, that was nice; -Guns are ok; -Few places to have SI bugged; -Directions are ok; -No FPS dropping; Cons: -Undersupplied for its lenght; -That fucking truck in the beggining; -Spawns of hordes are too quick; -The rain is really heavy; Conclusion: - Although modificated, the problems made it a hard boring map to play, that rain really heavy was as boring as fuck.

PROS New areas have good atmosphere and layout The Riverside event is no longer a run through the horde event Lots of bosses CONS Undersupplied First event in the finale sucks No warning to duck on train. Church guy event is misleading- a sign in the church implies you have to jump through a window that can't be jumped through. Author was way overzealous in forcing us to go another way. First map had problem of the crash course truck flashing in and out of existence. At some point in Map 3, the storm just doesn't stop. Hardly any survivor dialogue- should've used L4D1 survivors. Bots would sometimes just have new weapons without even the dialogue of picking it up, so I had no idea where to find it. CONCLUSION Every map has a new and different layout, but it's not always great. It becomes tiresome seeing the author take every available opportunity to divert the path, often in ways so roundabout just to get 20 ft. ahead on the original path, it seems like a blatant middle finger to anyone that plays. This really wouldn't be so irritating if the author didn't take the easy way out on difficulty increase. Like so many others that want to boast that they've made a hard map, the campaign starves you of supplies while it forces you to take overly senic routes, instead of letting the difficulty come from events and mean boss spawns. No saferoom has 4 medkits, most don't have 3, and the finale doesn't even have an ammo pile. On top of this, the survivors are practically mutes, but I guess that happens when you don't use the survivors that actually have dialogue about Riverside. As it's own campaign, it's not too bad, and I will play it again, but as a remake, this is to Death Toll what the Star Wars prequels are to the original trilogy.

This campaign has got a lot of potential to make up for its cons when it comes out of beta with the next update, despite that this remake of death toll I would prefer over the L4D2 port. Bots getting killed in the finale when only 1 person makes it is annoying enougn to people. This campaign is challenging, tho almost impossible to beat on expert due to the low number of supplies with the health packs scarce in saferooms as such. Map - 8/10 Events - 5/10 Exp - 7/10 Overall - 6.5/10

an excellent campaign map, with plenty of imaginative and interesting new areas. it would be my preferred remake of the original death toll campaign were it not for the lack of good guns/ammo and some flaws with crescendo events, such as taking too long to destroy something or getting incapacitated by an annoying feature. overall i would recommend, but i think it needs a bit more work.

Overall one of the best remakes of an official campaign, and as worth playing, and as creative, as a fully original campaign. Don't underestimate this, it has a lot of changes that I don't want to spoil the surprise of. Lets you explore almost every area that was blocked off or in the distance that one might have been curious about, and tons more. While the original is more tightly designed in terms of length, those looking for a longer game will find this most satisfying, with the new elements and areas being on par with the quality and creativity of Valve's efforts.
