      It works, and it's kinda fun

      Not much to see if you're not a TF2 player, but still it provides a gameplay change at every turn. Short and efficient.

      Pros:

      -Great combination of my two favourite games
      -Intense panic events
      -No tanks until the end
      -Great application of TF2 sounds and music
      -Ellis' reference to TF2
      -Melee weapons on the cart (great idea, but they need to be outlined)
      -Good variety of infected
      -No witches
      -Challenging

      Cons:

      -The survivors said "the helicopter's arrived!" when I sitll had 4 more gas cans to pour in
      -Coach said "The Midnight Riders saved us!" which had little to no relevance in this campaign
      -I didn't get to the finale because the bots all died

      Conclusion:

      All in all, a fun map. I love TF2 and I love L4D2, so obviously I loved this. It took me aaages to figure out how to get to the last 4 cans (up the numerous flights of stairs next to the hole) but that was probably just me being stupid :P
      Very innovative, fun to play, but the bots let me down towards the end (not a problem with what you did, just stupid AI).
      
      Anyway, job well done. Especially since this isn't a finished release.

      Pros:

      Great Finale
      Lots of resources
      Fun
      Zombies go for cart like it has boomer bile all over it
      Great map port
      Easy

      Cons:

      At some points the survivors get dumb
      Tank spawns right in front of you
      Little to no Uncommon infected

      Conclusion:

      A very fun map but its easy for the AI Survivors to get lost while your down, but i had a lot of  fun playing this map and after i played the tf2 map and i could see how accurate and how much you didn't change anything but that board with the weapons right before the finale.

      Pros:

      -Stays true to TF2 design without many gameplay issues.
      -Functional cart, no problems with it.
      -Unique gameplay.
      -Instructional notices.
      -Infected tend to go after the cart rather than the Survivors. It gives them a good breather moment.

      Cons:

      -No Witches.
      -Lack of Uncommon Infected. I'd think that the Fallen Survivor would work well here.

      Conclusion:

      A nice wacky map. Do you think you will continue to develop this map? And will you do the same for other TF2 maps?

      Pros:

      Good objective taut.
      Great idea with the zombies slowing down the payload.
      No change in the Team Fortress 2 map.
      Feels like Left 4 Fortress 2.

      Cons:

      A bit too hard for easy.

      Conclusion:

      Should make some TF2 dudes doing or hiding somewhere ya know like an easter egg...

      Pros:

      Feels a lot like team fortress
      Plays like a l4d game
      The concept is really nice and original
      fairly long for being one map (took us 30 minutes)
      The cart having weapons and the like on it was a nice touch
      The tooltip forthe alarm was chuckle worthy

      Cons:

      From the time you have to turn the alarms off to the end, it becomes a battle
      The cans being so far away sometimes gets us split up then destroyed
      The last few cans took a few to figure out how to get
      Anyone who hasn't played much team fortress would probably jump into that hole at the end.

      Conclusion:

      This map is great for a team who doesn't have a whole lot of time to play, but want to.  It's a wonderful throwback to team fortress without making the map just a "point a to point b" map.  Even on the lower levels it's still a challenge and still extremely fun to play.  At one point we found chompski and had him ride the cart.  Him and one of our teammates rode to their deaths, it was quite funny.
      
      *Edit*  Just played it again, never knew there was a checkpoint where you have to pull the lever.  LOVED that, saved us a lot of frustration!

      Pros:

      Suprisingly fun
      Makes me wonder if payload could work in L4D2
      Awesome new concept
      Creative

      Cons:

      Lack "get to da choppa" messages in the end led to half my team jumping down the hole leading to instant death.

      Conclusion:

      Cool map, cool concept. Worth playing, specially if you play TF2. If you dont, still worth giving it a try.

      Pros:

      - I can play my favourite TF2 map on L4D2 too!
      - I love the fuel-powered cart idea...
      - ...and the melee weapons and ammo on it!
      - The beginning feels like TF2, which is good.
      - Lots of fun!
      - Half-Time event, YAY!

      Cons:

      - Too much hordes
      - If you die at the end, you need to start over.
      - Sometimes tanks were hard to find. It took less than a minute to find the right way for us, but someone who never played TF2 would have some problem.

      Conclusion:

      This is EPIC, AWESOME! But it's just NOT possible to finish it at expert. Zombies everywhere doing everything. Still, one of the best custom campaigns EVER. Good job!

      Pros:

      - great port from TF 2
      - good realisation of exiting game elements
      - gauntlet events
      - cart fueling
      - ammo and weapons from cart
      - alarm crescendo

      Cons:

      - VS needed
      - typical L4D 2 map design needed

      Conclusion:

      This is definitely a very fun game mode and map.
      
      But I'd like to play it with typical L4D environment. IMO this would make just more sense. The L4D background doesn't really fit to the comic atmosphere of TF 2s  Badwater Basin map.

      Pros:

      -Pretty fun
      -A really cool take on a coop type of scavenge
      -Everything works really smoothly
      -Can be nicely challenging on Expert

      Cons:

      -Needs a VS mode

      Conclusion:

      Add a VS/Scavenge mode to this and I can see it getting a lot of plays.

      Pros:

      Creative idea with scavenge and coop together
      TF2 textures and custom sounds

      Cons:

      None

      Conclusion:

      It has a innovative gameplay mode mixing the best of two worlds: TF2 and L4D2. If you play both games it's a must have!
