      Pros:

      *Beautiful details! (really felt the way it looked)
      *good bot nav
      *intense stormy atmosphere!
      *custom radio responses!
      *Nice beginning survivor dialogue 
      *good item layout 
      *challenging
      *Playable over and over
      

      Cons:

      *Space is very confined (tanks can just instantly cornor you inside the house and kill you)
      
      *No laser sights
      
      *The game gets very "choppy" if you look in any direction outside house aside from the pool area due to their being too much information being processed outside the house (though that could be on my part, but my computer is no dinosaur mind you lol)
      
      *Radio doesn't say anything after you select it, (Even though what it repeats is custom, i still think it could have a response to you selecting it), No point lost for this however!
      

      Conclusion:

      Overall this was an incredibly well designed stormy survival map! It really felt like when i am at my house with a good rainstorm! Beautifully detailed too with a great setting! Before i started the game however and explored i could not find a single laser sight nor a good place to hold out. If im outside then as the game is slowed down due to to much information being processed at once in combination with it being difficult to see and fight in, the special infected would be able to take me and my team out with ease. If im upstairs then if we get a tank its game over man! Game over! In the living room the zombies have no trouble taking us out due to attacking us on all sides with confined space (making a tank the end of me and us all). If there was a mini-gun or something upstairs to fire through a window it would make things easier (though a tank would still be the end of life as we know it).
      
      If there was just a "little" more room in the house and some sort of advantage against the tank inside, this would truly be an amazing map to play on (as well if you please added some laser sights, i love em :3). Good job on the creation of this map, and i look forward to any others you have to make! :-)

      Pros:

      Nice small suburban house,
      Funny intro dialogue,
      Scary survival to play - has a eerie feel.

      Cons:

      House too small to survive in - found myself more often than not running outside to face tanks, rather than take my chances and shoot them from the windows.

      Conclusion:

      A okay survival map, It isn't excellent, but it isn't terrible. Some fun times are guaranteed though!

      Pros:

      + Great house with full of realistic stuffs around
      + Good Weather Effects
      + Bots Navigation
      

      Cons:

      - Not enough First Aid Kits lying around the house and outside
      - Some rooms are small not enough to move around with it
      - Not a campaign map
      

      Conclusion:

      Overall it would be better if there are more supplies etc lying outside the house too and like what wibble199 says, possible to hide behind the shower curtains whereby zombies cannot get to you except for maybe tanks only would be alot more fun, the storm slows you down if you are outside and tends to be abit slow which I love it alot. I will recommend this to anyone who loves house survival map.

      Pros:

      - Detailed, realistic looking house with complete features such as kitchens with pans, rooms with TVs and beds, bookshelves and lots of other good stuff to explore.
      - Things such as cans of petrol to place and ignite.
      - Very good lighting and weather effects.

      Cons:

      - Can feel a bit cramped in some places.
      - No ammo in the shed outside (more personal preference than a real problem).
      - Possible to exploit the bathrooms by hiding behind the shower curtains and the zombies cannot get to you.

      Conclusion:

      A very good map that kept me and a friend occupied for a while exploring and try to get the medals.
      Would definately recommend this map to anyone and everyone.

      Pros:

      Wonderful rain effects
      Water puddles - excellent idea!
      Beutiful design
      
      Soundscapes
      Intro dialouge
      Alot of camping spots
      

      Cons:

      Bots can sometimes get stuck at the roof ladder
      Zombies sometimes get stuck at the grass fences
      As others have said, smal house interior

      Conclusion:

      One of the few survival maps out there with an overworked quality! This is (if not the best) survival maps out there, at least on the top! I love your ideas like the water puddles (why havn't anyone thought of that before?) and your wonderful house design. 
      
      This is a masterpiece and I recommend it to anyone looking for some eye candy or a great challange! Great job on this!

      Pros:

      - Exquisite and realistic map design; room layouts in the house is very realistic.
      - The Dark and gloomy atmosphere adds more realism to the map.
      - No empty rooms; all rooms are finely decorated and furnished.
      - The weather will really keep you inside the house.
      - Numerous hold-out spots.
      - Realistic weapon & item placements.
      - All the camp spots will still render you vulnerable; no cheat/bugged spots.
      - Fun and challenging close-quarters gameplay.

      Cons:

      - The interior of the house is seemingly cramped and tight for a mansion/big house.(-0)
      

      Conclusion:

      I haven't played survival mode for quite a while now, especially custom survival maps, but this map really got me in to playing survival a lot once again. The map's design is very realistic and comparable to the official maps. The atmosphere's dark and gloomy feel adds more character to the map. You won't find any empty and bare rooms in the house; about every single room is well-decorated and furnished to the brim. The intense storm that's raging outside will definitely keep you inside; fighting the infected outdoors is very difficult and challenging. This map also has a lot of tactical hold-out spots, but once you're camping on these said spots, always remember that you're still vulnerable;there are no cheat/exploit spots on this map. The main highlight of this map is the enjoyable close-quarters combat. The tight spaces makes the map very challenging and fun. Despite having a lot of awesome factors, this map still needs a bit more work. The interior of the house is too tight and cramped for a mansion. 
      
      
      To be honest, this is one of the best survival maps I've ever played in a long time. The update made it much more better, and I'd highly recommend this map to all the seasoned and experienced players out there. New players beware: you'll be dead in a minute or two.

      Pros:

      - Great atmosphere
      - Lots of places to hold out
      - Very detailed
      - Balanced amount of supplies/weapons
      - Item/weapon placement

      Cons:

      - Bots had some issues with windows
      - A little too tank friendly sometimes, your only real option is to jump out a window if you're in a 2nd floor room when he comes around
      - Although the house design is very realistic and well done, it does feel very cramped
      
      Minor Cons/Nitpicks: Don't personally like it when map editors make pools since there's no swimming mechanic and you can hold your breath forever, it ends up breaking immersion.
      
      It's a bit predictable where the infected are going to come in from.
      
      I'm also getting some random graphical bugs showing combine nexus doors on windows, I took screenshots but I forgot you can't put urls in here. I guess it's a problem on my side because no one else here has mentioned it but I felt I should say it anyway.

      Conclusion:

      Overall I really like it. It's not the most original idea for a map but the amount of thought put into the detail, atmosphere, and general level design is admirable.

      Pros:

      Good atmosphere
      Realistic house design
      Amazing implementation of weather
      

      Cons:

      None that i can think of

      Conclusion:

      I've always liked maps with rain on it, so this was an instant download. And hell it didn't disappoint. I love the design of the house. Its pretty realistic and hell it looks like a place i'd love to relax in. The rain and thunder going on is somewhat relaxing for me. Then again, i've always found rain to be relaxing.
      
      I can honestly just waste time admiring the atmosphere of this map.
      
      Awesome job on this one bud. Hope to see more survival maps from you.

      9.5

      Pros:

      - AWESOME Layout
      - Great Detail in House
      - Outdoor Area looks great
      - Awesome placement of weapons and supplies for survival
      - Has scavenge mode (so know what I'm doing later today)
      

      Cons:

      - Roof a tad too steep
      - Bot can get perpetually stuck in pool, will keep climbing ladder and then go back in to pool

      Conclusion:

      The map has a great layout for survival and is and will be a ton of fun, will have to start poking people later to actually play it with people.  I can only imagine how good it will be in scavenge.  The details taken for the house and the outside is great, everything just fits together smoothly and seamlessly.  The weapon placement for survival is just awesome, and it is also interesting to see where things are and what you will find.  The thunder and lightning that is going on for the map, is GREAT.
      
      I would HIGHLY recommend downloading and playing this great map.  This is a map that will forever stay on my server and not get rotated out.
      
      Excellent work for a first time map.

      Pros:

      Nice layout of the house
      Breakable walls
      Lots of ways in/out of house
      Has scavenge mode (haven't tried - need servers)
      Items spread out around map
      Thunder/lightning

      Cons:

      Getting knocked off roof usually kills you
      Map on the smaller side
      Yard is flat, use displacements?
      Only one house to defend in

      Conclusion:

      I enjoyed playing this map. I still haven't beat the 10min mark, but that might be due to playing with bots. Great first map. Maybe add more visuals to the yard.
