Fun and Challenging, Maps may be a bit too long
Despite other comments, there weren't many "infinite hordes" I think there was some where you run, then others where the horde is just gigantic, but its manageable on Expert. Maps could be shortened a bit, ESPECIALLY the finale. The finale could have been cut down the truck event(no need for an event in a finale) and run to the finale on death should NOT be tortuously long. If finale was shortened, the actual part where you hold out was fine, and enough resources for all the tanks(2 first, then 3) I would recommend to play this though, at least once

i think escape from toronto might've been when we first met, or at least our first interactions, so it'd kinda mean something to me. just try to remember escape from toronto was one of Heartless' first Left 4 Dead campaigns and a learning experience. and on top of that, was never "officially" or properly brought into Left 4 Dead 2... it was stolen by Huck the thief. Huck is also most well known for breaking more than he fixes. that being said, Heartless has always been a good friend of mine, and he gave Dave and I permission to carry this on. but there will still be only so much we can do... which is probably just simply make it compatible enough to run properly in L4D2. now with the Last Stand update out I think I might look into adding the new melees and the return of the original L4D infected though.

my friend, Time Lord Magnum Dave, and I have plans to fix this up along with other Heartless' other campaign, Escape From Toronto. I'll be sure to let you know when they updates are ready if you'd be interested in testing in the future.

Review
Great campaign. However, on chapter 2 it is possible to get stuck on the lift and phase through it forcing you to restart the campaign. And there's also some minor glitches like being able to hang off of a bridge that hasn't been blown up yet, or the collision not being removed on the finale when the truck blows up and the strange camera angle for the rescue vehicle taking off. But other than that, I liked it. No botnav errors. Plenty of supplies. Nice map design. Great ambience. Nice work.

Pros:
-Well designed environments -Variety in environments is pretty cool, plus some weather changes as well -Crazy crazy finale, space is given to kite the tanks though, which is good
Cons:
-Really stingy with the ammo. Really really stingy. -No instruction given for the location of the rescue vehicle in the finale -Bots were semi-bugged when approaching the finale during the caged ladder
Conclusion:
I really disliked the miserly ammo piles, there were virtually none or very few given in the levels. Guns weren't given either, I ran out of ammo pretty frequently (only managed to save some with melees). Also I didn't see a whiff of the AK throughout the entire game, save for the finale. Finale also didnt have an instruction as to where the APC was. The levels are very well designed though, the environments and surroundings are all intriguing and cool. Fairly ok-ish spawn of throwables. Coolest part was the finale. 3 tanks at once, really? Managed it though, although the bots all died. Lots of space was given to kite the tanks, which was good. This map is more suitable for multiplayer, given the crazy spawn of gas tanks during the whole campaign. 4.5 stars, but I can't seem to give 4.5 so it'll be 5 here.

Pros:
Well made visual design. Good map length.
Cons:
Overuse of invisible walls to limit survivor movement. Player is punished for aomething that could not have been known. Gnome eating stones. The gnomes do nothing! The gnomes do nothing! The gnomes do nothing! The gnomes do nothing! The gnomes do nothing! The gnomes do nothing! The gnomes do nothing!
Conclusion:
I have learned to hate all that is gnomes. We carried the gnomes all the way to the rescue and we recieved no reward.

Pros:
Maps look desolate with litter like a zombie apocalypse would look. Opening saferoom was neat
Cons:
Overall, maps are rather bland and repetitive Can get stuck at places and have to restart No loading bar with wheel, but I considered that minor I also had to disable ALL my mods, at first, I did just a few, not sure which one was causing chapter 2 to drop me out of the game. Either the Gore and blood mod or the improved weapons sounds mod.
Conclusion:
Needs some work but has promise. First campaign? In Chapter two, I couldn't see the ladder at the end of the long plank that the lift takes you to. if you drop outside between the buildings, there's no way back. I stopped playing after that. I probably should give it another go.

Pros:
- long and cleverly concieved maps - variable environments - great atmosphere and suspense - clever usage of players expectations regarding typical L4D-things like safehouses - cruel, but entertaining surprises
Cons:
- no loading bar when turning the wheel - no direction marker after the APC arrieves in the finale
Conclusion:
Even though the map lacks dialogue or scripted money shots sequences it delivers great action and suspense in cleverly conceived maps. The constant switching of different environments within levels keeps the campaign interesting and fresh.

Pros:
======= In general ======= + Very long campaign. + A lot of zombies, 3000+ + Very nice surroundings. + Partly very difficult, but also see Cons. + More than enough supplies spread around. + L4D2 version, see Cons. + Intro and outro. + A lot of mechanisms built in to Keep you running.
Cons:
======= Map 1 ======= - No Tank music appeared. - No other music as well. - AI mates had problems climbing the ladder after gate. =================== ======= Map 2 ======= - Horde Event was nearly reidiculous. - After light went up it's very hard to get it down again. - Had to play this 2 times due to AI problem. - Ladder after the lift scenario glitched and made AI mates fall. - FPS drops. =================== ======= Map 5 (finale) ======= - Evac position was not clear enough. - More throwables, especially bile bombs please. ======================= ======= Miscellaneous ======= - A few times the music has disappeared while playing. - Only one improvement, otherwise just deterioration. =======================
Conclusion:
Well I have played the Dead Echo ONE Version some time ago, and I have to say, honestly, that I haven't seen any improvements except the final evac arrival. There are lot more bugs and glitches, and also the AI NAV is worse than in Echo 1 for L4D. Maybe fix these cons. Not so bad though.
