Pros:
Good map overall, using both a tanker and oil rig for the environments. Not swamped with supplies, but enough to get you through if you wisely use your ammo and health. Quite frankly, it is really the only time I can see the oil/gas barrels having a purpose....there are quite a number of them around, but it is totally acceptable because of the environment. The aesthetics of the entire game are very good. Being near the edge on the floors while on the oil rig gave me vertigo.
Cons:
The bots, or the bot navigation. Each time I had to jump over the edge of the ship to get to the oil rig, the bots constantly got hung up, and usually ended up dying. This happened a few times throughout the map, always leading to the death of one or more bots (the final can be the death of all three bots). Extremely frustrating. No ocean sounds (seagulls, water breaking, etc.). The environment would have been better if the sounds had been there. There is really no damage anywhere on the tanker ship or oil rig. A minor detail for sure, but something that one would expect in an apocalyptic game.
Conclusion:
A very good map that uses its limited space extremely well. The whole story takes place on a tanker ship and oil rig, but it seems very large, which is good. The only thing that is really keeping this map from being a classic is the navigation of the bots. I know I've said it before, but it is worth repeating. Nevertheless, it is an exciting map, and it is one that you should have in your Left 4 Dead collection

Pros:
-- Levels are very well structured, with choke-points and good holdout spots aplenty. -- Navigation isn't just a matter of w + m1, but levels were never obtuse or confusing. -- Just enough spawned goodies to get by, no more or less. -- Creative events. -- You can climb the tower. :) -- Great atmosphere on first and third maps. -- Finale requires you to think about positioning rather than just camping the first spot everyone stands still in. -- Hard, but didn't feel unfair out of a couple of places. -- Map 2's second and/or third event . . . KA-BOOM!
Cons:
-- The bot nav. Oh lordy. They don't properly jump off the ledge to get to the map 2 saferoom, causing them to get stuck on it about 6 times out of ten. (I counted.) Francis and Bill decided to park their rears at the base of the lift during the map 3 crescendo, leading to Zoey's death. Then they decided to stand there until the event was full over, causing them to die while I (20 hp) waited in the safe room. Then in the finale they bumrushed the extraction point and got super-saiyaned off the platform by the tank. -- I like the finale in general. It's dangerous, you have to hunt for supplies, you pretty much have to think about what angles you want to hold if you want to live-- and if you do, it's mostly a piece of cake, with very little you can't adapt to. Then the chopper arrives. I like the tank spawning on top of the platform-- it's a dangerous place, no logical reason to camp there -- but the full contingent of SI and giant mob of SI . . . those are a bit less fair.
Conclusion:
There are some things that I don't like about the map, but I had too much fun to rate it any lower than an 8. Probably won't be easy-peasy lemon-squeezy on any difficulty, but if you don't mind both thinking ahead and reacting quickly, I'd call it one of the best for L4D1.

Pros:
fun gameplay Challenging decent bot nav decent weapon spawning spots
Cons:
no water at finale? missing tile? can jump off the ship on the 2nd level and bounce in the water forever (not really a downside I found it quite amuzing actually) bots can be very stupid at times (shocker right?) didnt feel like I was in the ocean. no custom sounds missing tile in the boat. whenever I looked down t just turned totally blue?
Conclusion:
all in all it was a pretty fun campaign. strange in some spots but fun. would reccomend it :)

Pros:
Very challenging on expert Multiple routes on map 3 Pretty Good flow and items and pickups well placed
Cons:
Bots love to drown on map 2 Bots get stuck by the scissor lift on map 3 Hell of a lot of zombies living on one oil rig!
Conclusion:
Played this in early beta and it's come a long way. I spent a whole evening with 3 friends and we couldnt complete on Expert [although I managed it on my own with 3 bots next day]. So got a whole night of fun out of it.

Pros:
Great level design. Many infected ambush positions. Plenty of Tanks. Sacrifice-style cruciendo moment.
Cons:
Confusing. Pointless trip through the ship. (for new players on this map) Alarm car ambush.
Conclusion:
Had alot of fun, but it also made me realise that VALVe is never original(exiting the ship, there is a sacrifice-ish cruciendo moment). Overall: needs a bit of decorating, & direction.

Pros:
Great level designs. Nice ending especially the helicopter. More "realism" levels.
Cons:
Too dark to see everything, and can't figure out where to go next.
Conclusion:
The map was incredibly great and like Dark Hollow said, it's worth a download. One of my favorite part is the one that fills with barrels. I actually laughing too much 'cause they were too many explosions and me and my friends were arguing about the barrels, but we love that room. It's quite fun!

Pros:
+ Original Campaign + First and second chapters looked amazing + Excellent atmosphere + Molotov's and Pipe bombs placed well throughout the map + Survivors talk to each other + Creative crescendo events + Fun + Perfect ending + Challenging + Did I mention fun?
Cons:
- Lack of first aid kits in 3rd and finale chapters - Bots get stuck in the first crescendo event on chapter 3 - Non stop horde in chapter 3 for the alternate crescendo - 2 first aids in the final chapter - Tanks usually were always in the same area for chapter 3
Conclusion:
This is by far one of the best maps I have ever come across in left 4 dead. It is very challenging and original. A few glitches here and there, but you should really fix the glitch occurring at the first crescendo event in chapter 3. But other then that, you HAVE TO get this map!

Pros:
-Campaign takes place in a vessel throughout. -A little bit of Survivor dialogue here and there. -Atmosphere immersive and level design well-made. -Weapon placement good.
Cons:
-Is it me, or do the hordes in the third map never stop after opening the gate? -Lack of Health Kits in areas (especially map 3). -Only two Health Kits in finale. -A bit easy to get lost.
Conclusion:
It's a little easy to get lost in this map, seeing as how you can easily backtrack in certain areas. Otherwise, it's a nice, dark Campaign.

ImpossiblePosted this review
Pros:
-Really good unique style and atmosphere -Creative layout, fun for versus -Creative events(panic and otherwise)
Cons:
-A tad confusing -Bots screw around sometimes -The tarp at the finale has a bugged animation(You should make it reset the animation before it starts flying off)
Conclusion:
Overall, a very good campaign. It has a consistent and unique atmosphir, and looks overall great. Although the environment could use some variety, it has become dull after a while and it caused me to get lost a few times as well. Definitely a must try, there was a lot of work put into this, but it's not perfect. It could be, but it's not.

Astroass34Posted this review
Pros:
-The water part was cool -The first map -Good ammo/health placement -Great design
Cons:
-Too many hordes for my taste -Glitches with bots -Not enough arrows -The map, "Platform" -Too many alarms -Confusing -Even though it was very well designed, I felt like it all looked the same
Conclusion:
I wouldn't have been so irritated with all the hordes if it was made easier to find my way around. I got lost a lot- mainly in the map, "Platform." Also, there were too many alarms. Once I hot an alarm, I didn't know what it did or where to go. I wish it told you that you had to turn off the alarm in "Platform." Before you enter the safe room for the 3rd map, why do you have to drop down from the tanker on the platforms? You always get hurt when you do that. Kind of dumb. But, the campaign was made very well, and with the exception of wanting to light my computer on fire because I was so frustrated at getting lost, I did enjoy it. Smokers became quite annoying at the end. The finale was really easy, and normally I wouldn't like that, but since I got lost in the 3rd map so much, and since all the hordes wouldn't stop for 5 seconds so I could figure out where to go, I welcomed the finale.

Dark HollowPosted this review
Pros:
Fresh level ideas Plenty of events Great area for a tank makes it challenging Underwater was fun
Cons:
I got lost twice, once when there was a car with an alarm on it near a hole in the wall after the first event i didnt know u could go through the hole, and second after the fork lift event i didnt know where to go so i tried to jump down to the stair case and incaped myself.
Conclusion:
New level design, with challenging areas, and plenty if events. Easy to get lots. Definetly worth the download

Pros:
Excellent story idea Awesome ship level design Very challenging Awesome traps (The floor collapsing scared the crap out of me) The oilrig map changes itself every so often (fences and such are added)
Cons:
The swimming/water part of the engine room level is very confusing, For those confused...Move your ass or you will run out of oxygen. The finale seems very unfinished and wide open, No medkit or weapon stashes outside of the saferoom that I could find aswell.
Conclusion:
I played this with one other friend on advanced and I probably won't play again unless I get four actual players as the bots get really confusing in this campaign. All in all if you are looking for a simple way to kill an hour, then I recommend this campaign.

Excellent levels design-logical Creativity-I LOVE the idea of tanker ship and oil rig! Good graphic-impressive even when camparing with valve's works. Atmospheric-ways after ways of infected swarm toward survivors as they try to make it to the finale saferoom.
Cons:
4 maps only.
Conclusion:
Very well done.

Pros:
Looks magnificent Great design Very original Neat ideas Well executed Fun finale
Cons:
The 1st and 3rd levels can be very confusing You can go of the elevator and get stuck with no way to get back up
Conclusion:
This is a beta? When I played this it felt like it was 101% complete! This map is very good. I have very little complaints, and besides the complaints I do have, this map is perfect. The 1st and 3rd levels are confusing, but fix the elevator, and this map will be just a little more enjoyable.
