Great
Pros: - Awesome design - Satisfying detail - Cutscenes! - The idea of neurotoxin is quite creative Cons: - Bots can get killed by the neurotoxin easily in the finale - An nav issue on map 2 made bots stop following me. Luckily I have Left 4 Bots installed. - Floating medkits on map 2 (check the screenshot) - CI incapacitated me during the cutscenes in the finale (all bots had been dead, so the game restarted)

awesome
an unique campaign with awesome mehanic (you can call airstrike) and challenging event (deliver the cola to the armored ambulance, the neurotoxin gas in tunnel plus some cutscene in finale) and nice npc dialogue

Lots of cool gameplay events, and excellent design
This campaign has extremely nice flow, fine supply balance, and outstanding visuals (the door-mattress-bath part is a small, miss-able, but such an amazing detail). The cola pickup was a bit too blatantly placed, but other than that every other supply placement makes sense. The voice acting is good, the custom music is great, the events are super original, from toxic tunnels to point defense. The biggest letdown can be the finale rush, mostly due to the bots' weird tactical decisions to run back to the saferoom and instantly die (the campaign really lives up to its title in the finale). There are some bombs, shots, and handy CEDA Infected with bile jars to help you on the run. Also, infected tend to spawn out of the ether in plain sight on the second map.

Excellent! *SPOILER ALERT*
This was an awesome experience! The ambulance escort was a neat add! I love the cutscenes as well. I thought the game was over when i finished the stadium showdown, then was surprised by the plot twist. I like how in exchange for an a finale event, you have to run through the city dodging hordes. This is a must play map! Extremely well done!!

Last Chapter problem
Played this campaign recently. Now what I can say? Interesting storyline, but not very good. Its challenging; but such challenge doesn't make sense. The last chapter is the biggest frustrating problem. No offense, but its shit and very unfair challenge and here are reasons I wanna point out. First, the neurotoxin gas instantly kills everyone. What the fug? If anything, the effect should have been applied using the same as 2nd chapter's neurotoxin damage effect in the sense they slowly hurt the survivors, rather than immediately choke them to death. That way, I don't have to keep restarting because almost all survivors gets killed along the way. Second, wouldn't it makes more sense when the infected horde run from behind rather than from in front? Not that I have complaint over 10,000s of them running towards me, but they are blocking my way and its why I keep dying thanks to that nonsense neurotoxin damage effect! Third, fix that goddamn bot navigation problem. One of the bots will always go back to the saferoom for some reason and then gets killed by that super neurotoxin. I have to keep using console command to fix this crap and I don't like it. Its considered cheating already. Finally, even if you want to purposely increase the neurotoxin damage whereby it chokes survivors to death immediately, at least provide some fuggin' medkits along the way? Dear mapper, I know you want to make skin on the teeth challenges. I like the map design, the storyline, new voice acting, new music, and especially 2nd and 3rd chapter where we had to defend the lines (I don't mind 3 tanks spawning simultaneously). The first 3 chapters are okay, but the last chapter is purely horrible and it kinda ruin the exciting storyline. I hate to say it, but the fact that I have to keep restarting over this horrible last chapter is the reason I don't recommend playing this campaign again unless the developer take the trouble to fix the last chapter. Other than that, still fun campaign to play.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. A MUST PLAY INTERACTIVE, UNIQUE EXPERIENCE. FINISHED ON EXPERT
PROS - toxin! - Achievable on expert - Airstrikes - Plenty of throwables around - Voice acting - Ambulance helper - Good directions and instructions - Awesome cinematics inbetween gameplay - Bucketload of tanks! But can kill them with well timed airstrikes - Fast paced CONS - No ammo pile near the airstrike part - In the finale I spawned under the map, but this was fixed by going idle and the bot teleporting back to the starting safe room A must play campaign. An interactive experience that I have not come across on other addon maps. Very well made and fun to play. The toxin spreads fast but the damage it does and the pace is challenging but definitely not unachievable as we finished on expert in 40 mins. Highly recommended.

Example of a campaign done right
If you're like me and put this one off based upon the mention of toxic gas, do yourself a favor and play this campaign. Easily one of my favorites and well worth a five star rating. The airstrike system was highly unique. Sitting back and listening for the sound of spawning tanks, blasting them into oblivion was a real treat. The added voice acting was pretty good. I've played a good thirty+ maps and I've seen some pretty bottom of the barrel attempts at voice acting. It was nice not to hear someone with a lisp wheezing into a microphone and sixteen times normal volume. Or in some cases, whispering inaudibly into a microphone necessary objectives. Being able to hear what you need to do is kind of important and this map hit the nail on the head. Fun for the whole family. I completed this map on advanced with two bots.

Awesome map
It seemed a wee bit short but it's still worth 5 stars. I loved the constant danger. And moving around in the final was awesome. I thought well done and punish those rushers and laggers (I don't mean those who are wounded and moving slowly, or bad connection) great map.

Easy to play but don't know how at first
Chapter 1,2,4 is quite easy, but sometime have to restart. At chapter 3, I fell in strange hall, it is creak after the event. I didn't took a picture, but it need little bit of hand. 처음하시는 분들에게 있어서 이맵은 어려우실 수 있습니다. 구간중에 간간히 가스가 나와서 피가 닳는곳이 있어요. 지하통로, 챕터3의 탱크들을 다 잡고, 맵이동후에도 가스가 나옵니다. 그리고, 탱크는 계속나와요. 화염병 아끼시고 기름통 찾아서 쓰시길. 고급으로 플레이하실경우 맵 자체는 짧아도 1시간 정도 걸리지 않으실까 싶습니다. 한번쯤 하시기에 좋아요.

또한, 챕터4에서 세이프룸밖에서 캐릭터가 나오는 경우가 있어요. 그땐 세이프룸 지나면 죽게됩니다. 그냥 버리시거나 재시작하세요.

Great campaign but needs a little modification.
This campaign is very good. Very good indeed. However in chapter bridge and the final chapter is very hard to pass! It would be nice if the author of this campaign to reduce the hordes of zombies that appear everywhere, there's no time to kill and run the smoke of fire. If playing with Bots gets worse as they die soon and further complicated. This campaign deserves full marks but needs a little easier at the end.

Pros:
- Airstrike on one stage - Good Voice Acting - Well directed story - Stage 3
Cons:
- Stage 3 lack of ammunition - AI is not well driven on the campaign - Poison Gas tunnel requires tiny but more adrenaline/pills on higher levels
Conclusion:
A very good map. My party pretty much had to retry 3rd and finale stages twice due to the maps challenge but it was fun.

pros -cool intro and outdo -alternative choices (just one, though) -beautiful level designs -interesting final level (recommend playing with friends in order to reach full potential) cons -bots have hick-ups (duh!) overall, fun campaign and would love to play over and over again in single player but i mostly recommend playing with friends because the bots can be stupid at times

Pros:
Some good new ideas for map making (the 28 Weeks Later toxic gas idea work with the Left 4 Dead theme). Overall design of the map, as well as believable voice actors. Cutscenes are fun to watch as well.
Cons:
Well, the bots can be stupid at times, but it isn't enough to make the map a total fail. The toxic gas is a great idea (hope that Left 4 Dead 3 doesn't steal your idea), I would have like to see a little more saturation in its color, though. And definitely would like to hear/see more about how the toxic gas was more of a fail in killing zombies, and more of a win in killing humans (perhaps that's what the government wanted). Your Overkill loading screen does not work at all being so blinding white. Perhaps you were trying to convey a sterilized environment (bio warfare sort of thing), but it doesn't work. It is a minor flaw, but worth mentioning since it is annoying.
Conclusion:
It is an enjoyable map, with new and refreshing idea to set it apart from other map. You can't go wrong having this map as part of your Left 4 Dead collection.

Pros:
- Neurotoxine is a good idea (but.. look at cons) - Ambulance is cool - Safe houses are cool. - Dialogues - cutscenes - Nice slow motion (but..) - Good level design
Cons:
- Light is not always that good. - Video start, good idea but not really well done. (camera shakes and crosses elements) - Flooded parking is cool but nothing happens. - Ambulance guy should end somewhere logical (like in a garage) - Should have an automatic recorded voice in map 3 saying "Sector B under attack" - Bad spawn map 4 - Nice slow motion but too long (should keep one shot for slowmotion, one on the chopper and one for the result of the rocket) - Some small parts of the campaign seems unfinished (the finale). NEUROTOXINE : - Neurotoxine should be more understandable and logical in the world of your campaign : several propositions : 1) coloured fog (green, purple, orange) to be visually toxic. 2) Signs with "military uses neurotoxine, danger of death"; "Poison"; "Toxic" 3) Written in capital letters on walls before tunnels : "Neurotoxine doesn''t kill zombies, just us" - "Don't go in there : Neurotoxine and zombies !" 4) reaction on the player (coughs, "get out of that shit !", effects on the screen)
Conclusion:
This campaign has a lot of good ideas but needs to get some changes. Neurotoxine needs to have some custom stuffs to be believable and understandable. Your map definitely tells some stories and this is very cool, it's quite fun to play too even if during first tests you die several times cause you dont understand what is going on. You can die but you have to understand why you died in the world you're telling. In my opinion, those are the problems you need to solve to offer a great campaign. I hope you will continue to work on this. Thank you.

Pros:
-Neurotoxin escape finalle -Textures and detail -Control missle air strike -Intro, And special effects -Custom voice
Cons:
-A spitter can kill you dureing the cutscene in the finalle when you go inside the subway -The ambulance guy says "I cant go any further" And just stays in his ambulance and gives up, he doesnt explode or anything couragous to help us any further -Some laggy areas -The air strike map is really long and easy
Conclusion:
Really fun running away from the neurtoxins competing sometimes to get to the end and survive. The ambulance guy you meet is pretty cool if you give him some cola but he just stays in his amublance once you get to the end he isnt a real help and he just gives up i guess inside his truck. All around a good detailed fun intresting map to play with your friends.
