Well-made 3 Chapters Campaign
PROS Poster Well-made and cool urban environment Good items/weapons/ammo setting Air-crash event (Dead Air motive) Creative safe room of map 2 Interesting and decent map design/textures No bugs/glitches CONS Bots can't recognize few objects in some areas Rescue boat already came there
-
It was not like "it already came there", the boat man was just launching it and you had to wait until he does that and pick you up. At least that's what I had in mind :)

Pros:
+A Good looking 3 map campaign. +Interesting locations. +The road actually has definition. +Custom music works now.
Cons:
-There are many sections where the lighting is ridiculously bright. I have brought this up before: ht_tp:/_/i477.photobucket.c_o_m/albums/rr137/hihosh1/2011-04-12_00005.jpg ht_tp:/_/i477.photobucket.c_o_m/albums/rr137/hihosh1/2011-04-12_00003.jpg ht_tp:/_/i477.photobucket.c_o_m/albums/rr137/hihosh1/2011-04-12_00004.jpg ht_tp:/_/i477.photobucket.c_o_m/albums/rr137/hihosh1/2011-04-12_00001.jpg ht_tp:/_/i477.photobucket.c_o_m/albums/rr137/hihosh1/2011-04-12_00002.jpg
Conclusion:
Apart from the Bad lighting in some sections of the 2nd map this campaign is really good. I will not bring up the boat as AGGRESSOR has stated it is a hammer error. fix the bad lighting and recompile please.

Pros:
Maps have a traditional L4D feel to them Train pass through was very nice Bots didn't get stuck or confused
Cons:
Some common had a weird blue color overlay on them on map1 Custom car models don't fit into the L4D world at all Switch at the end of map2 was hard to find as it didn't emit a glow, and the cut-scene didn't fit into the L4D world, I felt like I was watching the "Fast and the Furious" Map 3 streets are way too cluttered at the start Finale made no sense and the boat doesn't make a get away, it just sits there Didn't see one special infected on the finale, I believe they were stuck behind one of the storage/container trailers as I heard a boomer but never saw him
Conclusion:
Good campaign overall, it can be made into a great one with some work.

Pros:
-Awesome ambient horde events (plane crash, train going through, ect...) -LONG chapters. -Just enough supplies (ammo, medkits, pills, grenades) until the final chapter. -No bot nav issues. -Car showroom was nice, great product placement XD -Cool 2nd chapter saferoom ending. -Custom areas and unique designs -Placement of weapons, grenades, and health packs makes sense. -Zombies falling made me jump a few times. hahaha -Nice placement of Tanks and Witches, just enough.
Cons:
-A little repetative in the beginning. -I had a HUGE horde at the plane crash. -Lack of double pistols. -3rd chapter, the zombies run into the fire of the barricade, making the horde really easy. -I watched the Tank spawn at the top of a fence in the 3rd chapter. -You need to put more ammo in the 3rd chapter. I ran out half-way through the last chapter. I only had double pistols until the very end where you set off the finale. -I had sooo many Boomers in the finale. I think there was 12 in the finale alone, and 42 for the entire campaign. O_O
Conclusion:
Great map with an awesome playthrough. You need to fix a couple things on the final chapter...and it might have been advisable to split up the chapters, you could have made a 5-chapter campaign out of this. It was a great map, only a few problems with ammo and spawning of infected...BUT completely worth the download. :)

Pros:
Nicely detailed. Well laid out equipment. Everything worked correctly. Tanks and monster all spawned correctly. A pleasure to play.
Cons:
2nd level we had to restart and we got a message saying the map was invalid. Still worked tho. Finale a little gray and not very nautical. Should have been trimmed to make 5 maps. First and last are short for a reason. Warm up for one and a quick run to the finale because you don't want to have to go to far every time you fair the finale. Let alone a panic event.
Conclusion:
After a terrible time on Stranded this was immensely enjoyable. Probably more than we would have otherwise. The mapper's obvious ignorance of L4D 5 map protocol strangely didn't annoy us too much :) However because of the massive last level before the finale we spent literally 75% of our 3 hour game time on the last map. Having to do the same event over and over. Eventually we said sod it and took it down from expert to normal so we could get to bed. That all said. It looks great plays great, moved along well and no practical problems. It just felt like the middle of a whole campaign with a finale tagged on at the end. Good job tho!

Pros:
Interesting series of maps Nice car models - yes I like the Mustangs and even the Golf Gti Smooth flow of gameplay Creative maps - even with a train line running through it
Cons:
Finale boat could have been better designed. i.e. lights come on when the boat is called etc.
Conclusion:
Thanks immensely for this. Your work is much appreciated and I hope you will come back to game design after your rest and studies.

Pros:
- Long Maps - Seems like a real city - Lots of interior and exterior atmospheres - Attention to detail - Good amount of Tanks and Witches - Has that original L4D feeling - Good amount of panic events - Smart AI
Cons:
- Easy finale (But still very fun)
Conclusion:
I'm giving this campaign 100% because the author obviously knows what he's doing and gives a ton of effort towards making this one of my favorites of all time. This has that original L4D feeling where it feels as if this was in the regular game. The AI is really good in this one and seems to know where to go and how to get there. The right amount of difficulty and definate replay value. This is for sure a masterpiece. Be proud Agressor! You did an outstanding job. :)

Pros:
+ Decent ammo & weapon usage. + Nice setting. + The lighting was perfect. + Decent size for a three map campaign. + Car escape at the end of level 2 was awesome. + Nice textures / models.
Cons:
- Didn't find any maxed weapons on the 3rd level, only found 2 ammo caches. {Was enough} - Finale - Zombie spawn points
Conclusion:
All in all, not the worst map I've played. I liked the custom models like the cars, those were pretty cool. The setting of the finale was okay. But the finale itself was terrible. There were no moltovs or pipe bombs, no defending spots. Like two of them, and they both require sitting in a corner, not very fun. Very tight area. Tanks didn't have a chance because all of our FOVs were set to him due to the lack of space. And the boat, it's original, but it also looks like the boat did nothing while we were fighting the horde. It wasn't fueling or anything. Just sat there and when the last Tank was dead, it moved up as yard or two. The zombie spawn points; they aren't nice at all. When I say this I mean that the zombies are either spawning right in front of you or around the corner from you. I personally think this map needs more work, on the finale, zombies, and lack of weapons and ammo on level 3. There was enough ammo on level 3, just lack of weapons.

Pros:
REMOVED
Cons:
REMOVED
Conclusion:
I'll re-instal L4d1 and play this in the correct version, not being a 'casual' gamer i'm aware of not voteing wrecking your overall rating. lucky i'm not a "casual gamer" as I would have probably given a stupid ill informed vote but instead it took quite a bit of tweaking to get this to work in L4d2 and as said above I experienced a true feeling of L4D1 ness more so than the official L4D1 maps converted to L4D2. So this dosen't lose out on my mistake of seeing a very good looking map and quickly trying it out to later realise it was meant for L4D1 i will say 75%

Pros:
- Innovative and nicely integrated panic events. (i.e. the crashing plane and the train) - Loved the idea of using the car to finish the 2nd level. - Maps were nicely structured and flowed well.
Cons:
- Seemed too short - Not sure if I just had bad luck, but on both the 2nd and 3rd level I had two tanks. And yes, on the third level that was 2 tanks before I even got to the finale. - Finale was too easy.
Conclusion:
I very much enjoyed playing through this campaign. It was very innovative and integrated events very nicely. However, I felt it was too short. By the time I had reached the end of the 3rd level I was sad when I realized I was already at the finale. You had done such a great job that I was left wanting more. There was the incident involving 2 tanks on both the 2nd and 3rd level, but I don't know if that was just my bad luck. It was no real problem as I was only playing on Normal but on harder difficulties that can be really bad. Overall, this is a great campaign that I would definitely recommend playing through. You just might be sad when you reach the end though, as you'll probably want more.
