      Good in overalls, with only few problems

      This campaign is actually good. This one can't be missed when playing RE campaigns. Just like other RE series, this one also has some objectives to do. Supplies are enough & hints are also well provided. Unlike other RE series, there's no puzzle here, but there's a special trap that reminds me of the RE movie. Bots can't survive there, because they're too lazy to follow players to the safe area. There are also timed events too that players have to escape as fast as possible.
      
      The only problem here is bot navigation. Bots can't follow players at certain areas, for example, near maintenance room in map 1, during collecting ward room in map 1. Special infected are also bugged at many areas except during escape event. For example, in map 1, after entering hospital during objectives to find keys & turn on generator, special infected are bugged so players only face common infected. In other areas, special infected are stuck as they often spawn behind the doors, so, unless players open the doors, special infected can't do anything.
      
      In short, this campaign is good to play with bots or other players. But if it's played with bots, prepare a defib at laser trap area, as all bots will die & you'll be left alone. This campaign is a good for a starting campaign when you want to play all RE series, as this one will introduce the missions of finding items that can be found in other RE campaigns.

      My favorite Resident Evil campaign.^^

      This is a really fun and slightly challenging Resident Evil campaign, not only very detailed and well-designed, but also restores  some of the original story and music.^^ The most challenging part is the last part of chapter 2, after failing to open the door, it will attract the zombie hordes and randomly spawn 0 to 2 tanks. If there was 0 tanks, the players are lucky, but if there was 2 tanks it will be more difficult, keeping some molotovs will help a lot.XD And the last part of finale, survivors must get into the basement to hide from the blast. I think this part is also challenging because players may not be able to find the direction arrow leading to the basement in the first place. But if there has friends to play together, finding the way will be a lot easier.XD Overall I really like this campaign and really enjoy it.^^ Nice work!^^

      good quality, but ...

      I haven't finished this map. The quality looks good, but I quit due to a bot's navi problem. I'm sorry.

      great map

      Very well done map! Despite all the possible paths the way the map is laid out its still easy to find your way around. Bots are slow but they can get to you in most situations.

      Amazing campaign

      I played it and I could say that I liked it too much, both in the musical background, the texture, the appearance of the zombies of the left 4 dead 1 and that you use the survivors in that campaign, it could be said that I had a little inconvenience when playing , but the benefits of this campaign are greater, so in my case I hope a campaign that may be possible to pass but in the form of a challenge, that is to experience the pressure, and the emotion that everything goes well, you made a great job and thank you very much, keep it up !!! :)

      Awesome!!!

      An awesome job. It has so much of its creator that I even feel that he himself is by my side helping me and guiding me to know how to move forward. Not only that, but it is not always the same road. In addition, it has an impressive atmosphere, as if it were inside the movie. So far, it is the best mod that exists in L4D2. However, it could improve. 1- I could never play the third level. Because the game comes out and sends me to the desk. 2- it is very short and I know I ask too much, because the creator nobody pays to update it. 3- It would be great if it had one more level of "Run and escape" type. 4- It would also improve if I let myself use other skins of my preference. Because every mod is good, but it is better if you put your interpretation of the environment. And 5- No matter the negative. The creator is a genius.

      Unique, lots of work went into it, but...

      I imagine that this campaign might be for a select audience, because the Resident Evil movie is just not my thing, so the novelty of a campaign based on its location is lost on me.  So I will just have to judge on its playability merits, so here it is.  A lot of the architecture in the first map is really small and crowded - The streets and general area in front of the hospital seem half the size they should be, similar with the hallways and rooms.  You can't really move around smoothly, and there is a claustrophobic feel because of the small scale.  While this might be the aesthetic attempt, it doesn't add to the playability factor or the fun for me.  I liked the searching of corpses, and they were lit up nicely to find.
      
      The second map also has some construction that made for bland gameplay for me and my friends - long straight narrow hallways tied together, and a big, square, arena like room with obstacles arranged like a grid.  Again, they might represent something that is meaningful for the fans of the movie, but I don't think that type of construction makes for interesting gameplay - at least not dynamic enough to want to revisit after the novelty wears off.
      
      The laser trap room was clever, and there seems to be a good amount of custom content.  There is something about the lighting, though, that looks flat - like this is running on a game engine that is a couple of generations old.  It could be that there are some light fixtures in the construction that don't cast light on their surroundings, or something else, but it looks old.  I would imagine that the look could be improved with more dramatic and vibrant lighting.
      
      Like most others, my game crashed on map 3, and by that time, I had seen enough to know that I wasn't up to revisit this campaign again.  I really appreciate the amount of work and creativity that went into this campaign, but from a playability level, it really suffers in my opinion from the small scale and claustrophobic nature of the first map, the long, straight maze of halls and grid arena in the second, and the crash in the third.  In my opinion, navigating and exploring maps is more interesting with a reasonable scale and paths to traverse, and the fun of L4D2 combat is extinguished in narrow hallways and obstacle grids.

      Ain't so dam* bad.

      Good, but!!
      First, all Bot dead in laser room, Because they stay on middle rooms, and kiled by laser net.
      Second, sometimes On Nuclear bomb countdown timer maps, if you incapitaced on aspalt road (with some cars around) bot, just stand around you, not helping. Until you dead or timer off.
      
      Still this awesome maps.. Thanks

      Fun

      Pros: 
            Resident Evil atmosphere
            More entertaining than the actual film,which I feel was ruined.
            Music fits the map.
            The laser trap was a nice touch,though with bots they always die inside.
      
      Cons: The bots occasionally clip through the train or get stuck in a few areas & I get left behind,usually happened where you need to reboot the Red Queen & have to run the gauntlet through the tunnels.

      GREAT!!!

      PROS                                                                           
      -Great atmosphere                                                        
      -Appropriate music                                                          
      -Plenty of supplies
      -There's a sense of urgency/panic which 
      makes it exciting
      -I liked the map's story itself :)
      -The laser scene is amazing. Although it's a bit short it gave me intensity and luckily I survived the first time :)
        CONS
        -Well none for me but it would've been epic if we saw the  train go out of the city while avoiding the blast XD
      
      
      
      An amazing mixture of RE Film and RE games itself. I couldn't ask for more than this to me it's really great and I really enjoyed it thank you for this great map :)

      • Hi, I'm just curious if you were on an online server and if you were lagging? When on the train you're actually in a box that you cannot get out of until a door opens, however if the server was lagging, the game can glitch out and make the bots think they're outside (when they pop around the screen) and then they die.
        
        Thanks for the heads up :)

      • UPDATE- On my fourth play through on map 4, the bots fell off the train which kills them leaving me alone luckily it was near the safe-room but just want to let you know :)

      some problem

      This is a great map I love it so bad .But when I played the 3rd map escape the server tunnel  ,the game  crash to desktop and told me that"156/-infected:UTIL-SetModel:not precached:models/infe cted/common-police-male01.mdl".I dont have any common infected mod,all of my mod is survivor and weapons.I try to reinstall the game but it still happens. How can I solve it??

      • Hi there!!! I'm having the same issue as you but I found a solution. Just download this mod [Original Common Infected in L4D2!!]    ( I saw it in this page and tried it out). Works like magic to me and I hope it does solve your problem too :)

      ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, FULL OF CUSTOM CONTENT

      PROS:
      - Nice intro
      - Nice addition of the dead l4d2 survivors
      - Map lengths aren't overly long but are the perfect medium
      - Original Resident evil music
      - Resident evil voice overlay
      - Maps are pretty much spot on with the original
      - Choice of turning off the music / elevator teleportation for bots
      - Timed finale, very nice concept and actually challenging! Quite different for a change 
      - Sound effects 
      - Logical item placement
      - Plenty of supplies
      - Directional arrows make it easy on where to go
      - Map environments are extremely well done. 
      - Laser scene 
      
      CONS
      - When climbing over the cars in finale, I found myself getting stuck A LOT which wasted time 
      
      This campaign is definitely one to remember. Full of custom content and being amazingly similar to the resident evil movie. Very well polished and didn't encounter any bugs. Played on expert campaign with one other player and although I did find it a bit on the easy side, it was a very rewarding experience and I can see myself replaying this. Good work dev, very rare to find a polished, enjoyable and CUSTOM campaign these days. Top job!

      Very well crafted map! A good nostalgia

      Pros:
      - Very detailed interior. Good work! Each section did bring back memories.
      - Very smooth gameplay. No errors occurred.
      - Clear hints provided as well as the navigation.
      - Lots of supplies! Whee!
      
      Cons:
      - Infected come right away attacking as the map starts. Though I enjoyed the thrill.
      - Distance from one safe house to another is too short. Thus a little too laid back. Stage can be harder, or can make distance longer :)
      - The finale seems to force all survivors reach the rescue point before the bombing (except the dead ones). Else, when time ran out, it is considered failed and the finale restarts even though one of the 4 has actually reached the end point.
      - Tank at the finale was so powerful. I got punched near the cars area and flew 7-8 cars away from that one blow (O_O) Took a while to catch up especially running on low HP.

      very detailed.And I mean very.
      Candy for Resident evil fans. 
      you're one of the most responsible map maker I've seen.
      Geez, the T virus models in the lab and on the train were excellent.
      mansion in the last map ※※※
      Only small and minus bugs but I'm not gonna pick on that just for the sake of it. It's a 10/10 for sure.
      I hope there's a red queen projection, but I know that will be really hard to make.
      
      ps;it's nice to know that you're planning to make more resident evil maps. keep up with the good jobs bro!

      This review was posted before the latest release.

      • Hey Veronica, really generous comment, I'm so glad you like the campaign ha ha :)
        
        The T-virus models need to be attributed to ZeqMacaw, DoktorHaus & Spiral, they made a T-virus pipebomb and I requested permission to use it in the campaign, it really gives the final touches.
        
        I would love to do a Red Queen projection but as you said it will be very difficult, however right now I am making a 'definitive edition' update for the entire game, it's going to double the length of the campaign, giving new areas to explore, new things to do, and really providing the most realistic experience of every little feature of the campaign.
        
        I believe I know all the bugs you may query here, all of which I am trying to fix up, but if there are any you think I may not have encountered, please, by all means PM them to me :)
        
        Thank you once again for the superb review, enjoy the rest of the campaign and keep holding back the zombie hordes!

      Holy sh*t!

      First off, this couldn't be any more accurate (baring in mind you would have had to limit what was in the map). This is insane! I loved every bit of this map even though at first I found this stupidly difficult, did kinda put it on expert though... This added a whole new feeling to the game, not to mention I hesitated when I found the red queens chambers...
      
      Keep making maps like these dude, you're awesome!

      • I very much appreciate your comment man! There still so much that could have been done, hence why I'm doing a HUGE update that will make the campaign 10x better than it already is :) subscribe to the listing so you can find out about it when I finally release it :)
        
        Really glad you had fun playing, hope to see you around!

      It's Resident Evil.

      + Well created levels from both the games and the movie.
      + Makes good use of Resident Evil music, you can optionally turn it off (although, why would you want to?)
      + LAZER BEAMZ!
      
      - A tank trolled our path in the finale by insta-killing us all with cars in one instance, well I guess that was moreso bad luck, and we also should have backed up, but we kindof needed to rush for the finale due to the time limit.
      
      Great campaign overall.

      • Thanks for the kind review wraith :) glad to hear you got to play it with friends too :)
        
        Sorry about the tank, I'm heavily considering whether or not I should reconsider all those bashable cars, I mean it makes sense, but it poses a big challenge when the tank knocks it into the center of the path, blocking it :S
        
        I hope you like the update to the campaign I should have done in a few months, whole new paths and areas are being added and all grievances and glitches will be gone :)

      "Excellent campaign based on the movie"

      I loved this campaign: music, common zombies 1, objectives, and more. Excellent work you've done and others that I love very much Resident Evil.

      This review was posted before the latest release.

      • No problem and I hope that maybe you can do the same with the second part of the film "Apocalypse", because that would be wonderful ;)

      • Thanks so much mauro! I really appreciate your review, I'm really glad that you had a blast with the campaign, I couldn't have hoped for anything more :)
        
        If you watch this submission listing, you'll know as soon as possible when I've released the definitive edition of this campaign, which expands the explorable areas, adds so much detail and really captures the RE atmosphere.
        
        Thanks again!
