Pros:
+ Very creative contents. + Very large maps. + Good map layout and design. + Good AI NAv but see Cons. + Good horde and tank events. + Various tasks to do. + Custom sounds and textures. + Mechanisms that can heal you in lvl 3. + Acceptable difficulty, no doubt.
Cons:
- Switch said, I have to turn on 3 generators, although I did so already. - Bots had no chance on the 'elevator' down to the generators in map 3. - AI NAV was still buggy sometimes. - Bots didn't get on the elevator in map 3, so I had to activate the generators all alone. Then they fell and I had no chance to help them up while I was fighting down there. This somehow ruined the gameplay for me. - Lack of medkits and throwables. - Detailes and creativity somehow decreased on the progress.
Conclusion:
Well I really enjoyed playing this. But as I said, it was really terrible to fight my way to the generators without the help of the AI. All died, me fighting, when suddenly a Hunter got me, and I was playing 30 minutes without my team mates. But still I think the custom music and textures cover this one thing. I also like the 'laser-mechanism' that healed us. Well done on the whole!

Pros:
This map is long and fun! Challenging in a way I love it, it's one of my favorites but.....
Cons:
The map has some serious lag issues especially then the train falls from the track bridge in one of the maps...
Conclusion:
This map is fun, it is very well done except some laggy areas, one of my friends hate playing it because the lag gets pretty bad for him, but it happens.... As much as I like the map gotta rate it a 75 because of the lag.

Pros:
- the '4' decal is an effective way of simplifying supply location - Decent enough bot AI (their nav-pathing and rescuing ability leaves a lot to be desired though) - Minigun placement has nice and wide range at finale - Nice touch on map 3 with the train falling through. - Pretty good degree of challenge throughout the maps - Some maps feature interesting lighting shifts - The half-life 2 model was neat (but really noticeably polygonal…)
Cons:
Cons: - Is it just me or do the credits not seem to roll? - Map 3's elevator needs a call button on the bottom, not just on the elevator. Had to save a surv-bot who was hanging, so sent the elevator up with the other bots on it; only to realise I couldn't get it back down because the bots teleport… Even without bots, a team can accidentally trap themselves. Highly unlikely but the possibility remains. - During map 2, the normal rendering of the map blipped out to being a uniform blue at some points, depending on what angle one looked and where on the map one was - The first time i played map 3, the custom props loaded fine; second time, they came up as a errors. With Dead Run the only map set to load in the extras… I didn't get it. - In the map 2-3 safehouse, there are tier 2's available if you start from map 3. But if you start from the finale map, you have tier 1's available. And no medkits. What's with that? Map 4 - A fair amount of the design seems really blocky and unnatural for being outdoors; it does create nice killing corridor but it is very same-ish. This makes some of the SI spawn spots really easy to counter. - The rescue trigger doesn't have a courtesy warning/prep-period when you push it. Not bad per se but some warning, like a floating tag, that we'd cut straight to the battle would be nice.
Conclusion:
The level design was good but the overall visual design seemed somewhat lacking in some regards, particularly towards the end where the lighting became more or less static. The bots can be somewhat reliable but don't depend on them to save someone in your team; they're more than likely to fail that task when it really counts in the heat of battle. It is still, however, a fun campaign with some interesting ideas and features. Some design elements seem to let it down.

A Rampant OstrichPosted this review
Pros:
- The campaign was very innovative with plenty of creative events. - The HL2 music worked perfectly with it. - Map designs were very good and creative. - Great panic events.
Cons:
- Level detail decreased as the campaign progressed. - Countless areas where the bots had nav issues. - Tier 1 weapons throughout the entirety of the campaign with the only tier 2 weapon being the hunting rifle. - No first aid kits at the beginning of the 3rd and 4th levels. - The 3rd level was ridiculously LONG. Cut it in half and make it a 5 map campaign. - The stairs in the prison of level 3 slowed you down way to much when you went up them. - The bots fell off the train very easily in the 3rd level. - A general lack of survivor closets. - The finale level was very bland and could use a lot more detail.
Conclusion:
Overall, this campaign is pretty good. It's level design and creative events were very enjoyable, however there was a great decrease in quality as the campaign progressed. Level 3 was just ridiculous. When the bots died at the train I had to fight my way through the last part of the level alone, which included taking down a tank with nothing but a hunting rifle. I really think this campaign is great, it just needs more work and I hope to see it more polished in the future.

Pros:
- Half Life 2 music implemented nicely. - Ambient sound. - Amazing level design variety. - Cinematic Physics??! - Interesting events. - Good use of colour correction. - Secret Location.
Cons:
- A bit lacking in details. - A lot seems to be copied from Valve's maps. - AI Navigation issues. - A bit too difficult.
Conclusion:
Despite the fundamental issues, I still found myself enjoying the experience a lot. The pathway you follow feels really varied and atmospheric. Great campaign! Hope to see more from you in the future.

Pros:
Campaign looks good
Cons:
hords are a joke. You can't even enjoy all your hard work.
Conclusion:
Played the campaign by myself. The bots just got there butts kicked and of course it was a matter of time before the extreme over sized hords did me in as well. Maybe better luck with other players.
