      A unique, enjoyable experience

      The campaign itself is a creative combination of several valve maps, including No Mercy, Death Toll, and Blood Harvest (though not a direct one!). The campaign is very open, so there's lots of places to explore, and paths to find. It is a rather challenging map, but not too difficult to a point where completion is impossible.
      I would like to point out, however, that it is difficult to distinguish the gauntlet events from regular panic events, so I ended up fighting hordes of zombies for 5 minutes before realizing they were infinite (may I suggest adding a "run to the safehouse" director event to display on the screen?). There were a couple nav issues going on in the finale map where bots simply stayed in an area until an infected killed them, or you decide to stay with them.
      There were some funny moments, having a curious mind ends up killing you when a train runs you over. I really enjoyed the campaign, in the end, and would definitely play it again.

      Great custom campaign!

      [+] As stated by others it's very long
      [+] Takes elements from official L4D maps and fits them in perfectly
      [+] No buggy navs
      [+] Good texture placements
      [+] Great level design
      [+] Challenging
      [+] Not too much ammo and health for extra challenge
      [+] Many extra places to go into
      [-] Bots seem a bit bugged at finale
      [-] Some places are confusing as to were to go
      
      Overall definitely worth a download! Possibly one of the best custom campaigns yet!

      8.6

      Pros:

      -Forking paths provided in each map.
      -Rescue Closets uniquely implemented.
      -Hints and clues are provided when needed.
      -Supplies are sufficiently placed throughout.
      -Environments detailed and sometimes unique.
      -Available for Left 4 Dead 1.
      -Navigation thoroughly checked and validated.
      -Scripted Survivor Dialogue.

      Cons:

      -No introduction/safe room music.
      -Endless Crescendos are only stated as Endless through graffiti, which can be easily missed in certain cases. Some may assume these are stationary, only to find out they're battling wave after wave.
      -Boss Infected appear to be very common in Maps 6 and 7.
      -Certain textures are invisible if Precinct 84 is enabled.
      -Adjusting with the addons will render some models unusable. Should this happen, restart your game and don't touch the addons until you play this.

      Conclusion:

      Another welcome entry for Left 4 Dead 1's Campaign library. The length of this adventure rivals that of Vienna Calling, with eight Maps (which isn't necessarily a good thing). Gameplay is balanced, but it keeps players on their toes. There's a few balance and technical problems, but nothing overwhelming.

      Pros:

      +Lengthy
      +Provides a few hours of entertainment with mutations and what not.
      +Was a dream to play on Last Man On Earth.

      Cons:

      -The author is immature. We can play this map on any game. There's no law forcing us to play it on l4d1. Silly.
      -Saferoom door wont open after the 2 gates close.
      -The tank can get stuck on cars in the finale.
      -the finale is too wide and open spaced

      Conclusion:

      Just take heed of the cons, and I'd enjoy this campaign alot better~
      Also, i actually did play this on both Left 4 deads. Just saying.

      9.4

      Pros:

      - Lengthy!
      
      - Very polished, looks professional.
      
      - LOTS of divergent paths and explorable areas.

      Cons:

      - I had transparent walls in the second building of map 1, just after crossing over from the original spawn point.
      
      - Map 6, after exiting the safe house, you reach a cliff with a boat facing a a mountain ridge. I don't know if there's supposed to be a waterfall there, but I have a path of missing textures from top of mountain to river below. 
      
      - Map 7, no ammo dump (that I could find) at the platform, had to run back to the police car outside the gate.
      
      - No voice on the phone at the end.

      Conclusion:

      Certainly one of the best custom campaign for L4D 1, keeping the old flame alive.

      Pros:

      Nice level designs
      Plenty to explore
      Good fun playing through the campaign

      Cons:

      Too long.
      Couldn't find the finale event trigger, had to check here to find how to start it.

      Conclusion:

      I enjoyed playing this campaign. Nice environments, the outdoor areas especially were lovely. There was a bit of lag in the outdoor areas though, still playable but would be nice if that's fixed in a later version.
      
      Overall a fun campaign! We will be playing it again if we get the time; that's the problem with long maps like this.

      Pros:

      Had a lot of fun!
      Nicely challenging.
      One is able to explore around and find different ways. 
      Very long. 

      Cons:

      Had to force panic event at the house with the two doors because after trying to open the door to finish the level, nothing happened.
      Tipical errors all around the maps. 
      Somehow a witch kept respawning once I played.  

      Conclusion:

      I know its a beta xD so I really don't consider anything really bad about this, I loved it! and will download full version once its done. Thank you very much for the hard work!

      Pros:

      Nice Urban feel
      Good map layout
      enough direction hints
      good item placement
      

      Cons:

      You should add an indicator that the hord of an event is endless or don't make the alarm stop so you can conclude.. alarm still goes -> horde doesn't stop.
      - 3 Tanks in Map 2.
      
      
      
      
      

      Conclusion:

      not indicated endless hordes. 
      sorta long maps. (but that's not a con)
