Pros:
- takes a long time to complete -takes up to 2 s roughly hours to complete on ‘Normal’. -consistently ‘hard’ - one or two puzzles. -great coop experience. the finale stage is diffetent - puzzling campaing and hard -fun witrh friends
Cons:
- YOU WOULD FEEL HAPPY cuz of finishing a long hard campaing. -imposible in single player, bots can activate or get kill easily. -not enough Respawn Areas -a nightmare in singleplayer >> - It’s just hard. - Lazers out of nowhere (which kill immediately) LOL
Conclusion:
Conclusion: A tricky – challenging – map requires using more than one life/ Playing this map in single player is highly hard-on impossible. its a laugh!!! long hard and entertaining XD

Fallen AngelPosted this review
Pros:
- Really not a game to play on your own at the moment it still needs work - AI is clearly the main issue with this map
Cons:
- If you have four friends playing with you this is a fun map - Innovative ideas and nice to see something different
Conclusion:
I am leaving a review because this author really needs to have some credit for this map I would actually give 10 out of 10 for the great ideas alone. I have to be fair the map is not finished and the author needs some incentive to finish it. I agree with Amplidude he knows what hes talking about there are many problems. .... Author you really need encouragement because you have something here. If you improve the issues, this map can easily get 9 and more. Author its been more than 2 years I hope you see this and work on it again. My score is based purely on the fun aspect and a no bot situation.

AmpliDUDEPosted this review
Pros:
---- In general ---- + Very nice campaign settings. + Great level designs. + Good amount of supplies and ammo. + Maze and trap levels. + Horde and tank events made sense. + AI navigation was working well in map 3 and 4. + Very long and especially creative campaign. + Gloomy perspectives everywhere. + Great atmosphere. + Very great fun in Multiplayer!
Cons:
---- Map 1 ---- - AI navigation was broken. - Elevator didn't respond so I had to skip map 1. - Horde events to open doors were exaggerated. ---- Map 2 ---- - Unaviodable traps caused death of AI. - Smokers and Boomers were awaiting me alone. - AI navigation faulty, Louis didn't get to saferoom. ---- Map 3 ---- - Unavoidable trap for AI near safespot. - AI didn't get aboard of the cart. - AI Louis got stuck again so I had to skip to map 4. ---- Map 4 ---- - Missing walkway textures. - Several restarts required for getting to know traps. ---- Finale ---- - Traps got hold of AI every time. - I had to go along all along without any help. - Almost no chance for me. ---- In general ---- - Very buggy AI. - Missing textures. - Several restarts were required to know the traps. - I often had to skip ends of maps because of AI. - Too hard in Singleplayer.
Conclusion:
(updated review 27.02.2012) Well I replayed the campaign and now I have found more Pros than before. I have to say that actually the biggest problem of this campaign are the wrong set AI parameters for the navigation. So I for instance had to skip ending of map 2,3 and 4 because Louis always got stuck and didn't get to the saferoom. But on the other side I found your concepts very interesting, truely interesting. The mechanisms also worked very well and caused no problems, except the elevator on map 1, it didn't respond because AI didn't get aboard. But summarinzingly it's worth a try ONLY in Mutiplayer!

Posted this review
Pros:
-Traps everywhere! -Dark atmosphere, meaning that special encounters get scarier -Lots of "WTF just happened???" moments -Lots of thinking involved -Large horde sizes
Cons:
-Several traps require multiple restarts before success -Certain safe rooms can put you into an infinite free-fall, requiring game restart -Traps often instant kill the AIs, making solo mode a real challange -The crushers on map 5 can be problematic for several players
Conclusion:
This map is a hell ova' lot of fun! Traps are well placed and well executed (and well executing!), atmosphere is perfect, and the map is fluent & linear. However, large horde spawns and many "insta-kill" traps can lead to multiple restarts and AI deaths. This is certainly one of those maps where a friend is required, unless you want to be restarting every few minutes. Overall, however, the map is very well designed and highly recommended. Just don't try it on anything but Normal or Easy, unless you have an elite team of 4 players with good ping. Overall rating is 85.

Pros:
TRAPS!!! tons of zombies cool idea fun challenging new textures were pretty cool good amount of items nice enviornments goes from night to day by the end using the traps to kill the bots=WIN!!!
Cons:
lack of ammo is some places TONS OF ZOMBIES haha fun but got tedious cart was messed up so we had to run. no biggie weird finale...wasnt sure how exactly we got saved? didnt save our game results. only the time it took. everything else was all 0's no intro... issue with saferoom on I think the 3rd map? bots that died on previous map fell into narnia when the map began. didnt die just disappeared into la la land
Conclusion:
all I can say is ROFLMAO. great campaign. sure there are some issues in it, but what campaign doesnt have them? we found ourselves knowing that we were going to die if we pressed the buttons, then doing it anyway simply for the lolz haha its a fun campaign and pretty dang challenging. has cool textures and all around is fun. I would definatly reccomend this but for the love of god, and I cant stress this enough, you are going to die. ALOT. have fun with it its really entertaining. Also, its fun to use the traps to kill off the bots :) DOWNLOAD THIS MAP!!!

Pros:
-The puzzles are amazing. -Quite a challenge. -Interesting ideas. -Very fun to play with friends.
Cons:
-Textures and details need some work. -A lot of bugs and glitches.
Conclusion:
Great map, very fun and challenging. The textures could use some work, and there are some kinks that need to be worked out. Nothing that stops game play. I highly recommend it. I also recommend you play it with a full group to get full satisfaction. 95

Pros:
Original final, and challanging way to the final area. Nice use of crescendo events(sometimes).
Cons:
Realy bad texture work, i sure hope this is not your final version of the map. The bots really got alot of problems going thru this map, the elevator on the first part is bugged, it stands "Wait for everyone to be ready first" and it wont start! EVEN WITH ONLY ONE PLAYER FFS! Some of the traps are way to sudden and can ruin gameplay really fast. Some of the areas the bots get stuck and you cant get back and help them (map 2 if i remember correctly, had some real problems with the NAV files. The bots got stuck a little back from the saferoom, i couldnt go back as of the rails which blocks you from returning, and the bots coulndt move nor get dmged by infected. A little bad lightning work on some places. And in the begining the bots could not move down and special infected spawned up there after the saferoom opend.
Conclusion:
Ok map, really needs some more work to be a good map, lots of bugs and glitches, annoying neverending crescendos, lasers going off with no warning at all and holes in the textures, but not in the map. Overall an 47, and being pretty generous now. Go back and re-work on this map and realese a new version with bug fixes.
