      Вылет НЕ на воздушном шаре.

      Игра была идеальной до четвёртой главы. На четвёртой главе, у меня произошёл вылет на рабочий стол без ошибки.

      Pros:

      Available on L4D1.
      Great custom music.
      Not too dense or dry of supplies.
      Memorable environments.

      Cons:

      Bots can get stuck on Map 3 (around the optional door).
      Optional door in Map 3 is somewhat pointless.
      Difficulty ramps up on Map 4.
      Tanks can be extremely lethal on Maps 4 and 5.

      Conclusion:

      An unforgettable campaign, most people would have started off with this masterpiece and others should start with it.

      Pros:

      + Memorable locations with fantastic visuals.
      + A very original collection of settings that all blend together flawlessly.
      + Great pacing and difficulty.  Official quality.
      + Original music for the entire campaign.
      + Fantastic events and finale, with a great escape sequence.

      Cons:

      -While the Map 2 electric puzzle is nice, it is a little unclear that's what you're meant to do on a first play.
      - Lack of ragdolls on Map 4 (though honestly it's such an old map, if you were to ever fix this now I'd be sad lol.  It entertains me a little to have the zombies become INSTANTLY VAPOURISED by my shotgun blasts).
      - Finale can drag on as zombies work all the way up the cliffs to reach you.  On the flipside it is very fun to snipe the tank as much as possible before he reaches you on harder difficulties.

      Conclusion:

      Just thought I'd come back and review some old favourites since I recently played Left 4 Dead 1 again.
      
      While this is from earlier days before even Left 4 Dead 2 was out, thus it doesn't have much clever or fancy in terms of scripted events or puzzles like many recent campaigns tend to have, it's still one of the best and a must-play for any fan of classic Left 4 Dead action.  One of the best custom campaigns for Left 4 Dead 1 by a long shot (and it's Left 4 Dead 2 remake is just as fun).  On par with Valve's own original official Left 4 Dead 1 maps.

      Pros:

      Beautiful level design, not at all linear. 
      Looked really nice.
      Was at the edge of my seat the whole time.
      Decent Variety of locations not just the same old gray room 

      Cons:

      Nothing I can think of.

      Conclusion:

      Amazing campaign many things right with it nothing wrong with. I'd say it would easily rival a Valve campaign.

      Pros:

      -Good map design, hard to get lost and always had a good idea of where I was going.
      -Funny finale vehicle and the finale itself was fairly unique.
      - The ship was unique aswell, I liked the whole tilt in the level, very disorientating but made it more immersive.
      -Car alarm event was good.
      - Had no trouble with bots which was excellent.

      Cons:

      - Alot of little things come to mind but are too hard for me to list.
      - Not very believable in some areas like the prison especially.
      -Needs alot more detail, some areas were very basic, nearly empty rooms.

      Conclusion:

      It was an okay campign, good parts but it has aged considerably  in my opinion but solid, challenging and enjoyable. Nice work.

      Pros:

      Awesome Custom Music
      
      Hillarious Finale
      
      Beautiful atmosphere

      Cons:

      The Jailyard and Ship is sometimes confusing
      
      Bots sometimes get caught up in the enviroment

      Conclusion:

      This map is a love hate for me...for starters the Jailyard was confusing as heck and the ship was a bit confusing as well but as long as you take a second to get your bearings its easy to navigate out. Idk if this was the first custom map because I only recently joined but if this is this has got to be the most modest and well recieved map I yet to play

      Pros:

      Still remains challenging after all this time!
      Custom soundtrack!
      Almost flawless bot navigation and zombie spawning/routes.
      Design and layout are still top notch.
      Very well polished from beginning to end.
      Plays great on co-op as well as versus.
      Epic finale!

      Cons:

      The balloon still looks silly.
      Due to the age of the campaign, some areas don't seem as detailed anymore compared to new campaigns.

      Conclusion:

      One of the first custom campaigns ever, still shines! Death Aboard remains challenging, well designed and highly polished till this day. It set the standard for all the other custom campaigns to come. It was also the first to ever use a custom soundtrack. What strikes me the most is that the bot navigation and zombie spawning/routes are pretty much flawless, which is a real rarity. When zombies attack, they can literally come from anywhere and SI seem to navigate without problems. The design and layout are still top notch and the finale remains as epic as when I first played it back in 2008! Lastly it plays great on co-op as well as versus.
      
      I really don't have any problems with this campaign but I'll admit that I never really liked the balloon rescue. It seemed silly then and it still does. I always imagined this rescue being so much cooler if there was like a submarine in it or something. Lastly due to the age of the campaign some areas don't seem as detailed anymore compared to new campaigns.
      
      Overall this remains a true classic in every sense of the word and if you've never played it, shame on you and click that download button now! :-)
      
      Also it receives a slightly higher rating because this is the original L4D1 version. :-)

      Pros:

      -No gameplay issues for the most part.
      -No supply issues.
      -Moderate difficulty.
      -Believable environment.
      -Interesting finale.
      -AI usually functional.

      Cons:

      -I can still hear sounds when the credits roll.
      -Second Tier Weapons available too early (they can be found in a hidden room in Map 1!).
      -No scripted dialogue.
      -Supplies do not appear in Safe Houses until the next level is loaded (minor, but still notable).
      -Second Map's Crescendo Event needs a notice to turn on the power in order to get through the gate.
      -Bots may fall down the manholes in Map 2, injuring themselves.
      -A Bot may get stuck at the gate in Map 3.
      -Finale may be a little too big; Tanks can punch the Survivors off the cliffs easily!
      -Is it me, or do Bots tend to teleport off the cliff to their death during the Finale at times?

      Conclusion:

      The first Campaign I've downloaded for L4D, and one of the worthiest entries of all time. Please don't pull the plug on this campaign, and continue to debug it!

      9.6

      Pros:

      - I love the idea of being stuck on a ship that has a prison
      - LOTS of maps!
      - Each map is very different
      - The element of winding mazes and never knowing what's around the corner is great
      - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the lighthouse finale
      - Interesting element of running through a tilted ship

      Cons:

      - Could use some NPCs
      - My music glitched on the finale
      - Could use more interactive features
      - Would like to see the day version on L4D1

      Conclusion:

      Overall, this map is definitely worth downloading! If you're unsure about downloading and trying it, the finale is worth the download as it has a very extensive map with it.

      Pros:

      The 4th map
      the 5th map
      music queues

      Cons:

      A ballon at a ship port when there are high up buildings seems odd
      movement on the ship is awkward
      prison didn't feel like a prison

      Conclusion:

      Before I say anything else I will try to tell you how good the 4th map is .... I love that map so much I am worried I might get it pregnant.
      The 5th level design is genius, the only things I could find wrong with it were a missing path bug (if you stand on the boxes on the pier tanks would target you but were unable to get up) and that it was a little odd that a ballon would get to a ship pier when there are high up buildings where he could dock.
      The first 3 levels are good too but they simply were nothing special. You have alternate routes, a few panic events and a prison without cells. I have to stress this, they are not bad they simply are in the shadow of the 4th and 5th map.
      My conclusion: Download it, if they had voice acting you would assume they came from Valve.

      Pros:

      Fantastic level design
      Long enough
      The Finale

      Cons:

      Lack of music
      Not that fun after a while
      At some times, a little confusing

      Conclusion:

      A good campaign, but to be honest, not that fun. Some moments where superb, however, and the ship level was really well-designed. The early levels where sometimes hard to navigate, but there are lots of directions to next safe house. Good campaign but i don't think I'll play it more than once.
