      Tank party in map 1

      As far as intesity goes, this campaign is top draw. Especially the first map has an insane intensity. That final event in this map, in which you have to run to the safe room, is quite dreadful. Luckily we had a warning, that Tanks will appear, plural. And it were not just two, i think it were 3 or even 4 Tanks. The Bots were incapacitated in an instant, i luckily made it to the safe room, thanks to Auto Shotgun + Axe. The following 2 maps were nicely designed, and not too difficult. Fair game, to be exactly.
      The Finale on the other hand was relatively easy. But the location was copied from Dark Carnivals first map. It is basically even the BEGINNING of the first map. Why not do a custom location for the finale? I mean you done custom locations for the previous 3 maps as well. However it is a very enjoyable campaign, despite its asurd difficulty curve, which went from insane (map 1) to easy (map 2) to medium (map 3) and back to easy (finale).
      In my oppinion the difficulty should increase from map 1 to the finale slightly each map.
      7 stars out of 10
      
      Post scriptum:
      I have to disagree with ZiggyStardust
      The details are better than "so-so", whatever that means, but it was listed as a "Con" so it has to be something negative.
      And I did NOT encounter any Bugs/Nav issues.
      The pace of the first map was okay, the difficulty curve of the WHOLE campaign was the only thing weird here.
      not mediocre but not decent? what the hell? Anyways, it IS a decent campaign.
      Please players, dont listen to his "not recommanded", play it for yourself and craft your own oppinion about this campaign!
      People should not listen to him, rather play campaigns yourselves and decide for yourselves if you like it or not

      An Okay Campaign

      Pros:
      - Nice design
      - Okay length
      
      Cons:
      - So-so details in some areas
      - Weird pace of the first map
      - Nav issues
      
      Conclusion:
      Not so mediocre, but also not decent. Not recommended.
      
      Edit: Looks like someone had problem with one of my trash reviews! This was indeed one of the worst texts I've ever written, however, I do remember the campaign itself wasn't relatively decent among the 300+ campaigns I'd played (as a badly picky player). "Not recommended" surely ought to be removed though, for objective concerns. Also, if you see my reviews elsewhere, better ignore them. They read way embarrassing.

      Thanks, I enjoyed!

      Finished it in 1hr, 32min & 4 Restarts on Expert Single Player Mode The first time playing it.
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      I did enjoy your campaign as I can see each chapter got 1 panic event, then a safe room will wait ahead after few meters. The hardest & the longest chapter is 3rd chapter as my restarts are all on that chapter. This means I did it and passed ch 1, 2 & finale from first try. Chapter 3 also got 2 bugs, first one is we can move through trees after that hole in the floor where we jump down with no way back & the second bug is so annoying that when I get to that area right between the trailer blocking the way and the fence, bots won't shoot any zombie and they will become as if they are not there anymore. This caused one of the 4 restarts and the rest 3 restarts were simply because I shot one of the walking witches by mistake on 3 different runs. I got a silly question, what does that horn have to do with opening the market door? XD The finale was hard, but if you get to a safe zone to fight all hordes from it, it will be one of the easiest. Fighting 3 tanks on such finale is balanced and really good. 
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      My rating is 4 stars because of these bugs I encountered on chapter 3. Here is my YouTube playlist, playing this campaign:

      Thank you & keep it up.

      Pretty nice medium sized campaign! Chapter 2 and 4 (the finale) have no stringables though so the campaign can't be enjoyed on dedicated servers. Interesting campaign with different panic events to partake in with a traditional holdout finale, good stuff! Only quirk is the L4D1 survivors are in the poster even though they have no part in this campaign.

      A good short campaign to enjoy

      This campaign is short but enjoyable. There are lots of melee weapons in the beginning of map 1, & there's autoshotgun too. The directions & highlights are clear, including the warning notifications about dangerous events. The bot navigation is fine, & the supplies are enough along the way.
      .
      Somehow I felt like I'd ever played the finale. Maybe the finale was used as a finale in a mashup campaign I played back then last year. Anyway, it's an enjoyable campaign to play. Even the tank challenge on map 1 was thrilling but lots of fun too, as some tanks jumped from a helicopter & chased us to the saferoom.

End of results.
