Could use a lot of work and better balance
This campaign needs FAR more set ammo piles, ACTUAL health kits in chapter 1 and in saferooms, ACTUAL weapons in saferooms, tho some do but others dont(ch 4 didnt), finale had t1s which is stupid. chapter 3 i think it was, goinging down the hill down to the van event, it was WAYYY too much horde and it wasnt fun at all, also commons should not spawn on top of you, thats horrible design. It is a good start and it would be cool to see balance fixes and spawn fixes.

Fun but needs work
Good Custom environments,weapons & supplies. Music that fits the atmosphere Different events during the maps was a nice touch,it's good to see stuff mixed in,instead of just run there,grab this etc. Bad Big open areas with confusing paths to the cans was a bit disorientating. The near constant hordes really slowed down progression,it gets tedious especially the part where you need to grab the cans for the lawnmower or the explosives at the finale. As much as I liked messing around with the custom weapons,they seemed useless & the bots end up hurting themselves. Limited melee kind of made it more challenging,I'd prefer if there were melee weapons that didn't have limited uses. The large number of tanks on some maps,4-5 Tanks when you need to enter the code to open the saferoom door felt unbalanced,there wasn't that many mollies around to deal with them. Weird glitch on map 4 where after i closed the door the next map spawned me outside the saferoom on the wrong side,I was able to walk around but it ended up teleporting me inside the saferoom on map 5. I enjoyed playing this with bots on normal/realism,I feel it needs some polish but I can tell you put a lot of effort into this map. Also the code for the door,does it change or stay the same? First time it was 4746,I tried that again but nothing happened.
-
I think the code was random, i got 0118, i shoot the thing like black plate, n the code revealed
-
I forgot to ask,but where are the hints for the code to the door? i just hit random numbers until the code on the building showed up.
-
The code probably changes. I ever compared the code from the playthrough on youtube & my play, & when I put the same number as the one on youtube, nothing worked, & I had to check the code manually again

Thanks for the work
You have spent 1 year on level development. And the players put you 2. I think this is not fair. This map deserves the best ratings.

Good but lacks melee & supplies on certain saferoom
Actually the campaign is good. I could enjoy & sense the thrill because where the horde would come was unpredictable, as well as the SI. One of the main problems is the melee weapons. To defend from horde on open area just with pistol is kind of difficult. Actually it's easy to fix this unavailable melee bug - just delete the "meleeweapons" line on the "roadtof18.txt" inside "missions" folder. The other problem is on map 4. After several tries, I figured out that the way to unlock the code is to press E on the arrows painting on the wall but then horde will come afterwards, along with SI. On the 3rd try, somehow when I entered the correct code, there came twin tanks, followed by other two more after the twins died. After I killed them all, there came two "invisible" tanks. I could only see rocks flying but no tanks appeared - only growling voices. . On finale, the map is really wide. Even after I turned the instructions on, I had no idea of how to trigger the finale event. I checked both the plane & fuel tank but there was no button to push. After roaming twice, I used my trick to stick to the wall & found the location of the radio at abandoned camp at the corner of the map. During the objective to destroy rocks, somehow the map got rather lagging with fps drop, but after the rocks were destroyed, the fps was back to normal. . On certain maps, like map 3 & 4, there are no medkits inside saferoom. & when I started from map 4 after an unexpected crash due to a fps drop when staying too long on the grass near the caravan. . Aside of those drawbacks, this campaign is working & fun. There's no bot navigation error & I found no missing texture during my play. I hope that the melee weapons will be enabled on the next update, & medkits will be added on some saferooms

Solid Campaign, with plenty of unique elements.
Not sure what's up with the overly negative comments and reviews. This campaign isn't half as bad as some make it out to be. Not perfect. But absolutely above average. Pros: -Unique environments and overall great atmosphere. -Sufficient supplies, spread out nicely. -Difficulty feels just right. -Good directions and mostly great level design. -A couple of unique events. -No Performance issues since the last update. @bazrael I also have a gtx 970 and it runs absolutely fine. Besides, the CPU is most likely the bottleneck in l4d anyway. Regardless, no issues in any chapter on my end in terms of fps. Cons: -3rd chapter is a little too dark at times and can be frustrating with the many car alarms. Also, some props make little sense, for example the bumper cars. Which are alarmed btw. lmao -3rd chapter saferoom could use a couple supplies. At least an ammo pile would be nice. -The finale is long and tedious. You have to run around a lot because of the spread out objectives. I get that runways are supposed to be huge, but in terms of gameplay it's mostly just annoying. -The finale has a weird bug which prevents bot survivors from respawning, should you not make it on the first try. Rescue closets don't help on realism either unfortunately . Conclusion: Overall definately worth a playthrough. The lack of melees is a positive aspect to me, or rather I haven't noticed it. I play all maps with a no melees config because I feel like commons are otherwise a joke. I think it's great someone decided to leave them out of a campaign. Be it by an accident or on purpose. Big thanks to the author for making this. It's a fun map a deserves some recognition.

I have played this 12 times. It does have some issues. I took a break from this game and I have downloaded again just now. We will see.

No melee weapons is inexcusable. I can ninja sword my way through the hordes but using my pistols is just...sux.

Doubtful that you even played it. There was plenty of ammunition, special ammo, an throwables scattered throughout. If you took a bit of time and looked it was there. I've played it twice now. Melee weapons were not pressent. However by using two pistols I could easily handle the hordes and save my main weapon ammo for specials.

Competent, but not a keeper for me
The pathways are relatively intuitive and the structures look a little better than the average customs, but I felt this campaign is far from the top-tier customs and the stock maps. It falls victim to some of the common issues that a lot of customs have: too many alarm and trigger events, too many hordes, too rapid special infected spawning, linear paths, copy and paste sections and bland areas. For me, making hordes and SI constantly spam you is more tedious than fun, and ruins the natural pace of the game that makes it great: action, then time to breathe. And when there is a pause (a very brief pause in the hordes), there is not many interesting details to admire. So the campaign shows enough competence to not be a total trainwreck, but it is very far from the quality that makes it a campaign that I would return to.

Great Maps, But....
got to the last level and the map did not work. Level 2 and 3 were a little too dark for me, sorry. Also, there are way too many chargers and walkers and others. The walkers are spawning way too much, just give a much to relax in between and enjoy your levels and enjoy the maps you designed. I gave it 5 stars for being original and great looking environments. I last thing on the last map. I say error signs near the plane before the map crashed on me. Looking for an update on this. Thankyou for playing this.

good map
I liked the landscape. It is necessary to work out the caves in detail, cars with alarms do not look appropriate there.It is also not clear why you created a lawnmower that mows the grass. After all, the grass does not create a barrier to the player and it looks silly.
