      Скатывание по наклонной

      Длинная кампания, состоящая из четырёх длиннющих глав (точнее из трёх, потому что до отсидки идти не долго).
      
      ПЛЮСЫ:
      
      + потрясающая первая глава;
      + вступление;
      + боты сразу берут оружие и аптеки, а не стоят по минуте без движения, как на многих других доп. картах;
      + часто встречаются бомбы, молотовы, аптеки и таблетки (кроме последней главы);
      + обширные территории с нелинейным прохождением;
      + действительно оригинальные ивенты.
      
      МИНУСЫ:
      
      - нет ни аптек, ни оружия, ни патронов в начале второй главы (убежище банально пустое);
      - нет аптек и оружия в начале третьей главы (есть только кучка патронов);
      - третья глава слишком запутана;
      - ивент с лифтом-площадкой на третьей главе (уезжает автоматически и вам уже не пройти дальше, если не успели на него);
      - из-за обилия ивентов, частая нехватка патронов;
      - отсутствие бомб, молотовых, таблеток на финальной главе;
      - бесполезный пулемёт на крыше в концовке;
      - когда прилетает вертолёт, около него появляется танк и не даёт вам спастись (мне просто повезло, что танк отвлёкся на ботов).
      
      ВЫВОД: 
      
      Видно, что проделана огромная работа, но такое ощущение, что сил автора хватило только на первую главу. Чем дальше проходишь, тем больше косяков и недостатков всплывает. Требует некоторых доработок, хотя критичных ошибок нет. Прошёл с ботами за 1 час (если бы не пришлось рестартнуться на третьей главе из-за косячного лифта, то на прохождение ушло бы минут на 10 меньше).

      So much potential, could be a lot better.

      **Played on Advanced & Expert**
      
      ---PROS---
      1) Excellent map design.
      2) Exploration is something worth doing.
      3) Nice terrain, no flat areas.
      4) Nice rescue building.
      5) No glitching/bugs.
      
      ---CONS---
      1) Terrible bots. They're probably the worst bots I've ever played with and that takes A LOT out of a map. If you're playing this on multiplayer, then you're alright, but don't expect a fun solo gameplay with bots in this campaign. Absolutely terrible. Bad movements, when I get attacked by a special they just stand next to me and do nothing. I've seen this problem as a part of other reviews as well, so I guess it's not just me.
      2) The lack of supplies in the safe rooms can add to the challenge but again, not when you're playing alone, bad move.
      3) And after all the bot frustration, the helicopter comes and you have a tank coming in front of it, blocking your road to freedom. I know that could be random, but that's bad design right there.
      4) No radio sounds.
      
      Final Grade: C+. This has so much potential, but the execution is mediocre. The bot part is what hurts this map a lot, but you also can't ignore the lack of supplies in the first 2 maps. The design and overall aesthetic is incredible, but that's pretty much it. The rescue map is the easiest of all 4, but you need a bit of luck when the rescue helicopter arrives, ESPECIALLY on harder difficulties.

      Interesting Map

      Lots of great details and interesting scenery. Watching the zombies jump after you during the elevator sequence was pretty awesome.

      8.5

      Pros:

      -- Starting area is right about charming . . . that doesn't mean too much on its own, but it's a good preview of coming attractions.
      
      -- Tons of alternate pathing on a lot of maps. I accidentally went the right way a number of times, which is not an insult as far as I'm concerned.
      
      -- Excellent survival finale.
      
      -- Bot nav is high dependable.
      
      -- Some very well-designed areas and creative events.
      
      -- Survivors actually talk!

      Cons:

      -- FPS drops pretty hard in some areas.
      
      -- A lot of the custom events don't have game instructor hints.
      
      

      Conclusion:

      Really good campaign, with some creative stuff going on. IMO it lacks the "wow" factor and detail of the very best campaigns, but it's quite solid.

      7.5

      Pros:

      *Good length.
      *Very good use of height.
      *Can see future areas of maps from earlier areas.
      *Multiple routes to take in some places.

      Cons:

      Map 1:
      
      *Some areas quite boxy with just props for decoration.
      *Some props fade out when you are stil close to them.
      *Textures on displacement platforms need blending together.
      *In some places a certain prop is breakable, then in other places it's unbreakable. Needs to be more consistent.
      *Light was coming from some light props but they were using their lights off skin.
      *Dev textures visible in a couple of places.
      *No weapons, health or ammo in ending saferoom.
      
      Map 2:
      
      *No weapons, health or ammo in starting saferoom.
      *The texture scale of the cavern roof is too high.
      *Button for 1st crescendo doesn't glow.
      *If you jump on the wooden bridge early, you get stuck on it until it stops moving.
      *Needs more ammo spawns during map.
      *No health kits in ending saferoom.
      
      Map 3:
      
      *No health kits in starting saferoom.
      *If you are too late to get onto the elevator, you just hang from the walkway. It's shouldn't start moving until everyone is on the elevator.
      *No weapons, health or ammo in ending saferoom.
      
      Map 4:
      
      *No weapons, health or ammo in starting saferoom.
      *Some rock walls were completely flat. These need turning into displacements.
      *No one speaking on the radio.
      *Horde summoned without any kind of noise, lights or provocation.
      *Some invisible walls around roof of bunker.
      *No clear indication of where finale start was.
      *Some parts of light models were sticking out of the floor from the room below.
      *Skybox turned completely black just before the end of the outro.

      Conclusion:

      Overall a decent campaign. There are a few issues that need sorting out to make this run as smooth as possible, as well as some minor trivial things. I'm not sure if some of the cons may have been caused by the game being updated and this having not been updated since 2009.
      • I know I reply 5 years later, but I just want to correct you on one thing, there are supplies in the safe room of Map 4.

      9.2

      Pros:

      - Excellent level design
      - Excellent atmosphere
      - Lengths of each level was comfortable
      - Easy to navigate, even with detours
      

      Cons:

      - Trouble with bots wandering off, leaving me by myself to get killed by a hunter, horde, etc.
      - Two bots kept going back to the suspended wooden plank  and only to end up needing rescuing. And then, they'd do it AGAIN....  
      - [POSSIBLE DIRECTOR ISSUE] On one occasion, the safe room at the beginning of part three had no ammo or health. After I died later on, the level restarted and everything was there.

      Conclusion:

      First of all; GREAT JOB!
      
      I really enjoyed this campaign. The multi-level caves had my team looking in every possible direction because we felt very exposed, especially from the looooooong tongues of the Smokers. LOL!
      
      The finale was disorienting at first but once I caught on, it was fun. There was no indication, whether dialog or text on the screen, that the radio was working, but that's a minor nit and in no way hinders gameplay.  I would add a second turret and position them more towards the corners for better coverage.
      
      Thanks again!

      Pros:

      Wonderfully detailed
      
      Alternate routes and hidden secrets
      
      Nice difficulty
      
      Nice length
      
      Really felt like a mine
      
      Ending was pretty nicely set up
      
      Never got boring, but did get confused a couple times.

      Cons:

      The AI are incredibly slow. They're always quite a bit far behind you and it takes them a bit to catch up. 
      
      The AI also aren't as helpful as they should be. I got caught by a hunter right before the helicopter showed up and nearly died (about 15 health left after incap) simply because they were slow. 
      
      I'm not a fan of the turrets in this game to begin with, but from where the infected spawned, it seemed there was little point in putting that turret in the finale. It was helpful when one of the tanks came though. 
      
      Small graphical glitches; When the floor lowers on map 3 any infected that died on the floor end up 'floating' above you. In addition, the background mostly disappeared about five seconds from the end of the finale. 
      
      No voice on the radio at the finale.

      Conclusion:

      This is a really nice campaign with lots of exploring, events and fun. It's definitely worth a run through.

      9.5

      Pros:

      ---- In general ----
      + A lengthy, 4 maps campaign.
      + Environments were very detailed.
      + Various directions to choose.
      + Map layout seemed to be fitting.
      + Intro and outro were made very well.
      + Grid lift sequence was epic.
      + Story and gameplay were comprehensible.
      + Almost no AI navigation problems.
      + Many horde special horde events.
      + Finale was set up well and aslo worked out well.

      Cons:

      ---- Map 3 ----
      - Lack of health kits.
      - Only one tank during the whole campaign.
      
      ---- Finale ----
      - AI took the farthest way to the chopper instead of just passing the walls.
      
      ---- In general ----
      - Only one tank during the whole campaign decreased difficulty immensely.

      Conclusion:

      This is a very good campaign for L4D, absolutely recommendable. I didn't really understand why only one tank spawned during the campaign, there could've been at least 3 more of them! But really, well done on the whole!

      Fun
      Unique feel

      Cons:

      Missing models
      Missing textures
      

      Conclusion:

      Pros:

      -Long as a 5 map campaign, despite being only 4 maps long.
      -Original environment.
      -Finale is well-made.
      -Elevator sequence is sweet!
      -No excess or deficit of closets.
      -Alternate routes, created even before L4D2 was even released.
      -Exclusive to Left 4 Dead.

      Cons:

      -Lack of Health Kits in the beginning of Map 3.
      -Could use a few more Ammo piles in levels 2 and 3.
      -Lack of Survivor dialogue.
      -Helicopter appears in the skybox as well as near the helipad.
      -Bot Navigation in Finale is pretty poor; they tend to fall off the bunker walls and can't make heads or tails out of the quite simple path within.
      -Breaks The Sacrifice's Tank spawn; disable the addon to solve this problem.

      Conclusion:

      Another well-made Campaign for L4D. Keep it exclusive to Left 4 Dead to keep people playing that game! Work on making it compatible with The Sacrifice's Tank Spawn to make it a keeper!

      6.5

      Pros:

      -Decent campaign
      -Good amount of zombies
      

      Cons:

      -Bots get stuck constantly
      -Bots let you die
      -Why no health/ammo in safe rooms?
      -A lot of glitches
      -Mounted gun at finale is useless
      -Too much of the same
      -Boring
      -Finale

      Conclusion:

      Not the worst campaign. It as decent, but there were just too many things keeping me from really liking this campaign. All the maps look the same. Finale was weak. A lot of glitches in the game, some causing you to die. No health or ammo in safe rooms; Kind of defeats the purpose of safe rooms. Bots had a lot of trouble keeping up and saving me when i was down. This campaign had such potential, but it was just too boring for me. How is this almost like Blood Harvest?

      Pros:

      -Long Map
      -Nice textures
      -Good amount of zombies and specials
      -Keeps your interest

      Cons:

      Not too many...
      -Bots can get stuck in one spot for a long time.
      -In the finale a smoker pulled me off the bunker on the top floor in the building and the bots let me die. 
      

      Conclusion:

      Good map, keeps your interest and draws you back for more play. The only thing that could use some work are the bots.

      8.8

      Pros:

      Funny and long map.
      IT WORKS ON L4D2!
      Why yes it works, it will show up at addon maps when you gonna start one. :)
      Perfect map to play with friends.
      I can't see more.

      Cons:

      No Adrenaline shots.
      No L4D2 Tier 2 weapons.
      There is some errors and missing texture somewhere, the whole skybox at last(or atleast the sky) is all purple and black.
      No more Cons.

      Conclusion:

      I made this review from my sight in L4D2, it's great and fun, make a version, with some L4D2 weapons and etc. stuff, this map is the perfect map for playing with friends, this map works for L4D2 as it works for L4D1 (i think, i don't own L4D1), just make another version with L4D2 stuff in it, then it's frikken great. :D

End of results.
