Review
All of the scavenge events don't function and it's generally a buggy mess.

Pros:
Well, its a map, so the work behind it should be acknowledged.
Cons:
Extremely poor voice acting. Buggy gameplay to the point of being unplayable. Way too many gameplay crashes and restarts.
Conclusion:
This particular map had many issues. It is as though the author(s) finished making the map (the first draft) and put it out there to be downloaded, all without fine tuning the map. The truck driver's voice is annoying and serves no purpose other than to be annoying. The bots were constantly "freezing" in mid-air (reasoning unknown), especially during the truck driving scene. Finally, when the survivors were suppose to be getting off the truck, the survivors couldn't get off the truck, which meant quitting the game and restarting everything. Additionally, I rarely have to adjust any of my game settings, but the music eventually had me turning the volume down. Quite frankly, I just had enough of it. Lastly, this map crashed on me many times. I would be kicked back to the opening menu of L4D, or survivor characters would freeze during gameplay (During the 'Truck Driving' part, the survivor Bill would float outside of the truck in a frozen state, doing nothing, and this happened more than once). I finally gave up on the entire campaign and deleted it from my L4D addon menu. Sadly, I cannot recommend this campaign. It is poorly executed, and definitely has way too many bugs and glitches to even remotely be considered a finished product. I can appreciate the fact the map making is difficult, so it does bother me when I have to be critical about a campaign map, but this is one of those cases where the map is so bad you have to say something about it. Others have given this campaign a better rating. I cannot not.

Pros:
*Enjoyed the truck part. *Custom music. *Making a scavenge type event for L4D. *Liked the cable care idea. *Good finale. *Generally well detailed.
Cons:
*Bots refused to get back onto truck until I was on the very corner of it. *Needs a hint in words for where to put the cans rather than the striped lines. People who haven't played L4D2 won't know what those lines mean. *Boat scavenge event is extremely difficult when playing single player. Even on just advanced it took me 5 attempts to do it, then there was the whole rest of that map to play. *Some interior areas have very little detail. *One of the tunnels the truck went through seemed like a copy/paste of the tunnel at the start of Death Toll.
Conclusion:
Overall this is a very good campaign but it's not really a campaign for playing with bots. If you want to play with other people, this is a good campaign to try. If you are a fan of playing single player, either set the difficulty low or try something else. If the bot situation was improved, this would get at least a 9.

Pros:
Action-packed and different Rail shooting through an infested world is fun as heck! Interesting map layout.
Cons:
Virtually unplayable in single player because the bots do not jump on the truck. I ended up having to kill them all and hoped not to get jumped on while i reached my destination. As someone mention, front mini gun is impossible to reach when the truck is moving.
Conclusion:
If you can fix the bot issue, this map would be killer jump up in rating. I would love to see an official L4D2 port too so that lots more players could jump in the action.

Pros:
features some very unique stuff, especially the scavenger mode areas. it may not be the l4d2 style, but with the director wanting you to stay put, it's way harder(and more fun) than l4d2 scavengers the truck ride was one hell of a trip. even my brother loved that part. same goes for the boat. sacrificial gameplay-ish on the finale. but then, it made no sense coz of the hero closets after that event(which happens to be my favorite).
Cons:
so far, the conflicts with the sacrifice and crash course still persists, but no points deducted coz sound scripts tend to conflict alot, especially on custom maps and dlcs
Conclusion:
this map puts some features from l4d2 to l4d1 and even has more features to it than l4d2 out of the box. the truck/boat ride was a unique experience, as it feels like a well-earned rest for fighting through lots of infected.

Pros:
different types of maps and novel events
Cons:
the scavenge was not clear from begining of the level so cans were waste and needed to wait for respawn
Conclusion:
This was a fun campaign. The maps were not overly complex, but plenty fun. Well worth having in your folder.

Pros:
Great variety Love the cabin zombie rush Fun being surrounded by zombies while riding the boat!
Cons:
Not much: My only issue was with the bots. They can jump in front of the turrets and get themselves killed, or sometimes not be fast enough to get on the boat/truck. At times a little disoriented, but if you are at least 2 players it is not a big problem.
Conclusion:
Different maps with lots of variation so you don't get bored doing the same thing over and over like in some other campaigns. Must have been difficult getting the bots to get on the trucks and boats?

Pros:
- Original events are very well used (shooting in moving vehicles and scavenge, and the hero part was a wonderful idea). - Big maps, well designed. - Fifth survivor (the driver, even though he is never seen, only heard). - No major Nav problem.
Cons:
- The maps lack details. It is not too bad, but it's not perfect at all. - No survivor dialogue. - Nav is also not perfect, but like the maps, good enough.
Conclusion:
This campaign is definetely worth the playing, but the author could fix a few details on the whole campaign, like adding more details or making Nav better. Don't worry, these two things certainly won't stop anyone from having fun.

Pros:
Plenty of guns and ammo piles Unique vehicle events Record player at the boat event "Hero" part was fun You get to choose your path in some areas
Cons:
While riding the vehicles there is visual stutter which make it hard to play Some ground textures were really low resolution (I run all settings high) Finale needs a little more optimization as my fps dropped down to 30 when avg is 90+
Conclusion:
I edited my review since everyone had to jump on me for being honest. I will tried to go a bit more in-depth for the mapper so he can sort out these issues. Truck ride was fun but the stutter made it hard to use the miniguns or your own hand guns accurately. I had the same issue with the boat though it wasn't as bad because the boat was slow. Also at the skylift why does it push everyone to one side? The vehicle riding parts are unique they stutter really badly. Ping didn't help. With 80ms+ its almost unplayable and even when I played in SP I still had stutter issues. This may be a problem with source engine but unfortunately affects the overall score of this campaign. I think with a bit more optimization and polish this will be a really good campaign. When a new update comes out I hope to rate this 85+

Pros:
Great atmosphere Shooting while riding the truck/boat Difficulty is just great, neither too easy nor too hard. Escaping parts with the lift/boat.
Cons:
Bots can be annoying but that's just how the game is programmed and not much the mapmaker can do anything about. 2 players or more is preferred!
Conclusion:
An incredible map! Lots of Hollywood style action, just like a movie =)

Pros:
-Good map design -Good use of scavenge events -Great finale -Very good scenary -Defending yourself on a moving vehicle -bot error on the moving vehicle -it might need to kill the bots to move on to the moving vehicle and boat ,in map 1 and map 2 and you need a player take up a slot to move on the moving vehicle
Cons:
had a advice is please make the bot stable ,cos the horde will not end in map 1and 2 ,SI will still come out,and the they will not move on to the moving vehicle and boat ,please i don't hope to kill bots for that ,to move on ..., u might need two player to join u to move on to the truck or boat in map 1 and 2 ,and the fire in map 1 must delete that cos bot will go and die at there
Conclusion:
well until you make a new update i will consider to redl it again ,i put this in my watchlist i give the campaign a 65/100..., btw is a good campaign mostly i like your design but please make a new update for the bot and that fire in map 1

Pros:
*No missing textures *Defending yourself from a moving vehicle *Feels like you're playing L4D2 *Polished
Cons:
*Nav issues,sometimes bots need herding in few maps *Sometimes finale was kinda glitchy-not a big con though
Conclusion:
Bindal's brutal review makes this campaign look *bad* for other L4D players.But I still keep replaying on Advanced.Polishing the campaign must have taken a lot of hours but still,its your work.Nice job on the campaign.

Pros:
-Excellent use of panic events. -Natural progression from location to location. -Detailed and varied maps. -Great use of movable objects. -The hero part is cool. -Lots of fun.
Cons:
-Although there were no real nav issues, I did notice that the bots took a while to get onto the movable objects. But they always got on. -A little easy because of it being L4D1. It's easy to camp and take advantage of choke points. This map begs to be ported over to L4D2. -This map needs custom voices. It was awkward for there not to be any kind of voice in the movable object in map 1.
Conclusion:
This was a great map. But I think it would be even better in L4D2. The special infected in L4D2 will bring a good challenge and make this map more thrilling. Please put voices for the movable objects. It really is strange without them. Great map. Thank you for your hard work.
