      Game on

      Each map felt unique & well designed.
      Interesting use of the train,but if you or the bots fall off it's very hard to catch up.
      Finale was difficult but not impossible,though there seemed to be a lack of supplies at the end for throwables. 
      There were several parts with the purple black textures & errors being displayed,despite me using the content fix addons.
      Custom Tank model looks cool. 
      The campaign itself felt balanced,it wasn't too difficult or too easy even with the large number of hordes.
      
      I'm keeping this map in my folder & I'll tackle Suicide Blitz 2 eventually.

      Well made, with some flaws.

      ** PROS **
      1) Well designed levels.
      2) Great atmosphere.
      3) It keeps you interested.
      4) It's neither confusing, nor it is very easy to guide yourself through the maps.
      5) Great, balanced campaign.
      6) Very good rescue map.
      
      ** CONS **
      1) Some bad AI movement.
      
      Overall Grade: A-
      
      That was fun to play. It's a balanced, well-made campaign. All areas seem unique and they're just the challenge someone needs. It's not too easy and not an overkill hard like some campaigns are. The creator clearly dedicated a lot of time to the creation of this campaign and I thank him/her for doing this. This could easily be an official campaign.

      Pros:

      -- One of the most professional campaigns you'll find for L4D1. Custom models and textures, unique areas, even a cleverly edited new voice line for Francis.
      
      -- Voice acting!
      
      -- Great atmosphere.
      
      -- Stable. Doesn't crash for me.
      
      -- Blessed absence of confusing mazes and hackneyed puzzles.

      Cons:

      -- The high quality and level of detail of some areas makes some of the others seem drab by comparison. Uneven.

      Conclusion:

      Worth playing even if you've played the sequel.

      Pros:

      Fun outlet
      Not confusing
      Plenty places to explore, hidden goodies.
      No glitches
      No problems
      Original
      Doesn't feel like I'm playing the same part over and over again.
      

      Cons:

      Not too many cons, I really can't say anything bad about this campaign. The end may be a little hard for others but was challenging and fun!

      Conclusion:

      Great campaign, would play again, would recommend to everyone. Good work was put into it!

      Pros:

      ====== In general ======
      + Great design of each map.
      + Difficulty is not to underestimate.
      + Custom music and other content.
      + Few tasks to fulfill.
      + Storyline was understandable.
      + Survivor dialogues built in.
      + Great setup and flow of playing.
      + Maps are set together fairly well.
      + Finale rescue arena was fantastic.
      

      Cons:

      ====== Map 1 ======
      - AI navigation was not optimal concerning them to follow me.
      =================
      
      ====== Map 2 ======
      - This map could need more ammo stashes. 
      =================
      
      ====== Map 3 ======
      - AI mates had problems getting down the ladder to the sewer system.
      =================
      
      ====== Map 4 ======
      - AI mate Zoey fell off the train because she was standing too close to a pillar. 
      =================
      
      ====== Map 5 = finale ======
      - AI mates shoot through the elevator floor.
      - Rescue area needs more grenades and other supplies.
      - Enemies spawn pretty close in a wide open area.
      ======================
      

      Conclusion:

      Cool campaign. Just the AI navigation was tough sometimes, especially if there was a saferoom close to our position, they do not always do that. Also their following wasn't quite satisfying. Still great campaign.
      
      *Con of map 1 (-0.2)
      *Con of map 2 (-0.1)
      *Con of map 3 (-0.2)
      *Con of map 4 (-0.2)
      *Cons of map 5 (-0.3)
      ==============
      *Score of 9.0 points.

      Pros:

      + Extensive Levels
      + Great Urban Design
      + Actively Linear
      + Encountered Little (If Any) Glitches

      Cons:

      - I'd like to see the original (with original characters) ported to L4D2, more or less for weapon/special infected purposes. But, this honestly isn't a con.

      Conclusion:

      Awesome campaign. Seriously, Valve should play through this and make it canon to the original story-line somehow. If I hadn't downloaded it (and played it on someone else's computer), I probably would have thought that this was a DLC from Valve.

      Pros:

      - Great levels 
      - Perfect design 
      - You go can really progress through it (Not just running in circles) 
      - Awesome Finale in the Football Stadium
      - Not many bugs 
      -Great intro (DEAD WOMAN ON COUCH! :D)

      Cons:

      - There isn't a part 2 (Don't mean a L4D2 version)

      Conclusion:

      Great Campaign! I'd love for there to be a part 2. Some parts I found pointless and boring but I still loved it. :) a 9.9 out of ten I'd give it! Top 10 favourite campaigns!

      9.5

      Pros:

      -The train transition between maps 4 and 5 was excellent
      -Finale location is perfect
      - The Finale itself is the best chapter of all in Suicide Blitz.
      Unique areas (bowling alley, theater, jail, football arena, etc.)
      -Great city environment

      Cons:

      -The train is almost impossible to catch up with if you fall off.

      Conclusion:

      Great campaign. (El paisaje/ambiente de ciudad está muy bien diseñado, con muchas localizaciones novedosas muy bien trabajadas. El capítulo final, con su escenario magnífico, es muy bueno,  digno de un gran final de película de zombies americana. Los dos primeros escenarios son, quizá, un poco más flojos y menos detallados, pero los tres últimos son muy buenos. De las mejores campañas jugadas con amigos)

      9.5

      Pros:

      -The radio broadcast intro was very nice, and set the atmosphere for the events to come
      -The train transition between maps 4 and 5 was excellent
      -Bots don't get stuck (at least, any more than they usually do)
      -Finale location is perfect
      -An overall official Valve map feel

      Cons:

      -The finale, on higher difficulties, can sometimes be annoying
      -The finale helicopter can sometimes "push" players into harms way (may be situational) 
      -Auto-dying when falling off the train on the 4th map. Can be easily exploited in versus and is nearly impossible to recover from
      -(while not necessarily a con) Many "point of no return" areas can easily lead to player deaths if not properly countered

      Conclusion:

      This was the first custom map for our "How To Fail" Series, and with good reason. This is the closest thing to a Valve custom map as you're going to get: a map with a linear flow while retaining enough surprises to keep you on you're toes. As stated before, the finale location is quite good, but can be a pain to get through on higher difficulties. Overall, Alan and I agree that this map is excellent, both for it's straightforwardness and it's official Valve map feel. Overall rating is 90-100 (95 average).

      Pros:

      - From Chapter 3 to 5 the detailes and variety of situations. 
      - Good Chapter structure and you cannot lost yourself in diffrent locations.
      - The Finale itself is the best chapter of all in Suicide Blitz.
      - Solid horde attacks on parts of the maps.
      
      

      Cons:

      - Sometimes really stupid elite infected (hunter, smoker)
      - The first and second chapter were not really detailed and not sometimes really short.

      Conclusion:

      Stable and Interesting chapters. Great polished and  very detailed chapters. Massive horde attacks at time. Suicide Blitz will keep your heart beating till the huge end of he Campaign.
      This reminds me to give the score 98 of 100 for Suicide Blitz.
      Great Job.

      Pros:

      - Great Finale, Extremely detailed and believable.
      - The Poilice Station was interesting, and the bowling alley was very detailed.
      - A fair challenge, died quite a few times on the 4th chapter.
      - Well balanced weapon and health spawns.
      - Loved the train crescendo, very original!
      - Extremely hard to get lost!

      Cons:

      - 1st and 2nd Chapters weren't very detailed and could of been more polished when compared to the other 3.
      - Bots can be troublesome when they spend a couple of minutes standing in the saferoom before they grab their weapon.
      -Bots can also have alot of trouble getting on the train and staying on it.

      Conclusion:

      This is a really solid, believable campaign.The pros definitely outweigh the minor cons and im glad it got a sequel. Even though there are small cosmetic issues ( But maybe my expectations are too high after playing a few of the other campaigns out there :P) the gameplay was really good and challenging. The train crescendo was very original and stood out in particular to me. Im giving this a 90,  good job :).

      -Very sweet finale!
      -Wide open finle allows me to see Infected.
      -Awesome use of... well... EVERYTHING!!!
      -Clever use of the train sequence.

      Cons:

      -Do we really need so many bots? (I dunno if anyone else has multiple Francis...)
      -Very easy for a new player to get lost.
      -The train is almost impossible to catch up with if you fall off.
      -Not much else.

      Pros:

      -Flowed well, not too many bot issues.
      -Custom dialogue, as well as in-game and scripted dialogue.
      -Nice scenery.
      -Hard to get lost.
      -Instructions provided.
      -Sufficient amount of weapons and supplies.
      -A few nice easter eggs.
      -Explosive Barrels.

      Cons:

      -Finale is wide open.
      -Could use a few grenades in Finale.
      -Could program the bots to get on the train better. Make it so that the Survivors must talk to the radio again to get the train moving so that it doesn't leave anyone behind.

      Conclusion:

      A detailed, thorough campaign. Only trouble was at the train and at the Finale.

      Pros:

      highly detailed
      
      custom sounds and music
      
      creepy Atmosphere
      
      Great Finale
      
      and......pretty much everything else fomr Suicide Blitz 2
      LOL.

      Cons:

      none what so ever

      Conclusion:

      theres one tihng i like about this more than Suicide Blitz 2 and that is the Realistic Apocalyptic urban feeling that you feel while going threw out the town. The depression feeling it has being stranded in a city thats dark, cloudy, raining makes it feel that the town is abandoned to the zombies and thats what I like most about it.

      train needs to be set back a bit more in to the tunnel  so the smoker cant pull you off wit out being seen

      Conclusion:

      Awsome campaign one of my top five custom campaigns for l4d1

      8.5

      Pros:

      Extremely detailed
      Custom dialogue
      Unique areas (bowling alley, theater, jail, football arena, etc.)
      The jail security system, although a bit too much like Dead Air's, was fun and unexpected
      The swiveling walkway crescendo event was fun

      Cons:

      Lack of supplies (guns, ammo, etc.) in finale made it too difficult
      Alleys got too monotonous.

      Conclusion:

      Great finale with a few unique features. But the finale, as cool as the arena may be, was lacking when it came to supplies.

      Pros:

      + Great ideas.
      + Football Tanks!
      + Great bot NAV.
      + Amazing attention to the smaller details.
      + Jail security system.
      + Going through burning building.
      + Walkie-talkies with actual voices.
      + Train.
      + Finale run.
      + Burning rope to get the boat to come over.
      + Bowling alley.

      Cons:

      - When you're going through the sewers, as you're crouch-walking along the pipe, there are the black and pink decals instead of water below you.

      Conclusion:

      Great storyline and ideas. This is official Valve campaign material, maybe even better! The only problem is the black and pink decals / patterns, but that is a very common problem. A perfect sequal to the original Suicide Blitz for Left 4 Dead. Almost anyone who downloads this campaign will enjoy it.

End of results.
