The first two maps have a pretty unique look and feel - outdoor and mountainous. It is a follow-the-road theme here, and while things are looking pretty good at the start, you quickly notice that there are a lot of items, ammo piles, hordes and the SI are doubled. There is little time to enjoy the scenery, and the gameplay starts to feel tedious.
Then things go downhill. The rest is a mashup of the Death Toll sewers, the No Mercy Sewers and the Dead Center finale, with large parts of those maps copied, pasted and weaved together. So we have a been-there-seen-that feeling, along with the now tiring overabundance of items, hordes and SI. This is the most well stocked apocalypse you have ever seen - among the chaos, neatly arranged stacks of ammo, weapons and items every 20 yards.
So I like the architecture in the beginning - the campaign really shines in the opening two maps. But the more-is-better approach to hordes, SI, ammo, items, alarms and gauntlet runs makes the gameplay tiring. It is like a movie comprised of all action scenes and no time to catch your breath. I think the joys of L4D2 come from the pacing - some action, then some quiet. This campaign breaks that winning formula.
I think the 3 stars are warranted because of the overall construction quality of the first two maps. They have a professional look, and you can tell a lot of work went into them. But the rest is a real mixed bag, and I don't feel like I have to revisit this campaign again.

I really appreciate your review Hedley and I gotta admit that I agree on some of your points, that's why I'm planning on doing another rework for this campaign considering that it's a six years old work and I wasn't very experience at that time. But, all i all thanks for your review I'll consider some of your points once I get started with the reconstruction of this set of maps.

In my opinion, a really solid 3-4 map campaign is a lot better than a 6 map with some padding. The finale was pretty good looking, but some of the barriers at the very beginning are really obvious - you can tell that the map ends directly to the left and right of the entrance to the fair with the fences and abandoned vehicles. Flesh the background out a little more and I think the finale area is a solid piece of work.
In the first two maps, there are a few places where the road doesn't have a guardrail for a long stretch, and it looks a little awkward. If you want to keep them open there, then maybe a guardrail can be placed flattened, like they got knocked over by a vehicle. Anyway, there is some really quality stuff here. I think trimming out the sewers would serve the campaign really well, and it would have its own unique feel and look.

Nice campaign. however, the finale is so long, boring and tedious. I accidently shot 1 gas can 2 times and it set fire to all the others and it was really irritating. Other than that liked it. Nice map design. plenty of supplies. No glitches/bugs. No botnav errors. Nice work.

Pros
-Detailed environments.
-Enough of supplies.
-Some of the panic events are challenging.
Cons
-Hordes spawned too frequently in map 5 before we reached the gauntlet.(a little tough on single player mode especially have to wait the bots climb up from boxes.)
-Hordes in map 3 were spawned too many from front and behind .(It wasn't easy to focus suddenly got hit from behind )
Conclusion
-This wasn't too bad to play when play with friends .(challenging on single player expert.)
Construction:top loaded, gets lazy. Too many items, SI, hordes.

This was fun until map 5
By Lynxxie

Pros:
-Good design
-Events and some difficult
-Good Supplies
-Fun
Cons:
-Alarm cars everywhere
-Too many mobs all the time
-Map 5 was just a pain in the ass, mobs every 30 seconds, Tanks, Witches, Special infected every single corner. Run out of bullets and supplies too fast and finaly died like 5 times
-Finale gave me a head ache, Too many specials, 2 tanks the second time they come, and zombies spawn when the tank is alive making it annoying
-Cans and the car are just too far
In the end, the map 5 and 6 made me dont want to play this map never again. Was a good design but the gameplay after this maps were awful.
Hilarity & chaos
By The REAL Ellis
November 2015
This campaign is one of the biggest dark horses ever. The included scripts are great potential for hilarity & ensuing chaos. I modified them to spawn dozens of Special Infected at the same time.......it is a riot, and the map design is perfect for it. The rain in later maps is a bit overkill, but the rest of it is ace. Performs solidly with no bugs or stuttering.
