      Thank You!

      Such a nice work made by you. Enjoyed playing the entire campaign and had fun along all 5 chapters. Only issue was with the first chapter as one wonders why it is mostly without Health kits and sometimes even without primary weapons. I finished this campaign in only 1 hour & 56 minutes with 2 Restarts on Expert Single Player Mode. I restarted first chapter once and the 3rd chapter once too. 
      ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      First chapter included a tank with 2 panic events while there was no primary weapon before that spot when we meet tank and no Health Kits which is totally unfair and lame. However, i survived the 2 panic events and fought tank alone as i was so lucky when smoker grabbed me, but his tongue was stuck and that was during tank's chase i went here and there and kept shooting with the only sniper rifle i found after all died. Was so close to safe room, but didn't know that because it was my first time so while waiting for the right time to move down the manhole, a nasty boomer and spitter hit me with their spits and goo and a dirty smoker incapacitated me from up there from an unexpected spot and was killed. 
      ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      2nd Chapter was good and little bit short as i didn't expect it to end like that in no time after that broken bridge or road although there was a panic event.
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3rd Chapter was in swamps and we got attacked miserably from everywhere and was more careful on next time and passed it and its length was pretty decent. and loved that long tunnel where we fought a tank once and the other time it was a witch. 
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      4th Chapter was the apartments and it was a little bit filled with hordes and there was a navigation error by the elevator as i had to push bots into it plus the gas cans that i thought i will have to bring them all to the generator or that spot while it was only 1 gas can needed to explode the wall not all cans. No hordes came and it was a piece of cake for me. 
      ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Finale was not bad except for a lame bot navigation error that made Rochelle stuck somewhere before we jump down the high fence and it was killed once i started the panic event. Some special infected got stuck behind that concrete wall and it was a nice spot to stand in the center between two separate ways to shoot from both sides with bots and when tank came we were moving while it was on fire. Thankfully all special infected were stuck behind that wall and it was an easy fight without Rochelle. When rescue came no hordes attacked us on spot and there was time to run to Helicopter as i used my bile. Haven't checked your new edited campaign The Return: Escape from Louisianna. Wish it is better not in a hard lame wayXD thanks again!

      Pretty standard custom. My only critique would be I think the maps drag on a bit too much, and it can be a tad confusing on where to go sometimes, but overall, not a big deal, your standard L4D style campaign here, zombie killin' fun!

      Decent map with plenty of events / tanks

      PROS
      - Events / tanks
      - Challenging difficulty for expert (except map 3 - see cons)
      - Plenty of throwables
      - Alternate paths
      - Limited ammo piles / guns made players conserve ammo but there was always ammo ahead
      - Map design
      
      CONS
      - Ladders in map 4 going down on the scaffolding are super difficult to descend!! Always fall off the damn railing -__ have to like crouch up to it
      - Tank in map 3 in the swamp area is way too difficult on expert. Replayed it four times and had  tank there every time with too many zombies
      - Bot nav is terrible in entering the safe room on map 1/2. Bot would not enter the door ... took waay too long trying to get him in
      
      OVERALL
      -  Decent map, lengthy campaign riddled with events. Recommended!

      not good not bad

      7.5

      Pros:

      -Nice basic maps with some cool features.
      -Cool tank spawns.
      -Level 4 had a bit of a scavenge feel.
      -Ending had some nice camping spots and weapons.
      -Multiple ways to go on some levels.
      -Small download size for 5 maps

      Cons:

      -No custom dialogue.
      -Bots fail to enter the safe room in the first level
      -Tanks seem to spawn same place everytime
      -Level 4 should have had more cans to put in for fuel (My opinion)
      -Glitched ladders killed me my first try
      -Not many melee weapons

      Conclusion:

      Its a fun campaign especially since the download size is small. People should defiantly check this map out

      3.5

      Pros:

      + Simple, yet mazelike, level design is great.
      + Smaller campaign makes for quick runs with friends who don't want to spend two hours playing.
      + Swamp looks better than Valve's.

      Cons:

      - Lack of ammo piles.
      - Lack of melee weapons.
      - Last map was short, so we wondered why it was even added.
      - Breezy finale. 
      - Infinite bile bombs at the finale.
      - Had pretty much every tank spawn outside the game zone.

      Conclusion:

      I get that this is still a work in progress, but some issues are just... Too big to go unnoticed. This campaign has potential, but in it's current state it is too buggy for there to be an open beta. 
      
      Good luck!

      4.5

      Pros:

      It looks good.
      An M2 that isn't completely useless at the finale.

      Cons:

      No health kits at the start.
      Bots are stupid, they lag behind a lot.
      Bots don't get into the chopper and you have to shoot them so you can win.
      Most areas are cramped and small, and all maps past the third poor hints to to reach the safe room.
      Lack of Melee weapons and ammo pick ups.
      M60 only appears at the finale. 
      Feels like it created for L4D and compiled for L4D2 at the last minute. Most Left 4 Dead 2 features look like afterthoughts.
      Tank got stuck in the sewer, making for an easy kill from above.

      Conclusion:

      What could have been a good campaign turned out to be pretty average due to bugs and poor path finding for players.

      7.5

      Pros:

      Nice map design, lots of choices
      Loved the long grass in map 2
      Nice landscape in map 2.
      Enjoyed the finale.

      Cons:

      Lack of meele weapons
      Lack of health kits + ammo throughout the map 
      Far too dark!
      Pointless emergency door before entering sewer, can just jump over tent (1st map)
      Seemed quite repetitive a lot of the time, in and out of sewers.
      Quite buggy in swamps, friend got stuck in a tree and couldn't come down. (3rd map)

      Conclusion:

      Just fix a few of the bugs and turn the lights on and you have a great campaign that could be really enjoyable.
      Good job.

      Pros:

      Fairly solid
      Not boring
      Has potential

      Cons:

      Some low res issues, specifically on the far side of the broken bridge where you first enter the sewer tunnels.
      Glitch on the map with the fire, for some reason it started my friend and the bots in the finishing safe room instead of the beginning one, they all died on the previous level maybe that's why?

      Conclusion:

      Like has been said before, a little optimization and some little fixes and I think you got a good campaign. Oh, one other thing the map with the fire in the building was really short, maybe incorporate that into the previous or following map and make it a 4 map campaign.  The final map had issues too with the sky just being black and flickering and gray blobs.  Also the finale was real easy.  Maybe do something different with the ladder to the copter, change it to be a "fuel up the chopper" type finale like the finale of Dead Air.  Overall I'd say it's a solid C~C+.

      6.4

      Pros:

      - Decent level design
      - Maps aren't short
      - Much improved weapon/ammo/health placement over previous versions

      Cons:

      - Map 4 ladders leading down from building are very glitchy and easy to fall off building from
      - map 4 bots won't follow you down ladders off building

      Conclusion:

      Told you I'd come back and change my rating. Still some work to be down. I'm increasing my rating and giving you extra points for releasing updates so promptly.
