      Great custom textures, boss fight... just laggyyy and too long

      PROS
      - Custom custom custom!
      - Map design
      - Boss fight
      - traps
      - Weapons
      - Pathways
      - quarantine area
      
      CONS
      - If you die during the boss battle you spawn in a closet behind a locked gate so no one can rescue you
      - Super laggy at the start (150 ping on a local server where i normally get 7). Ping settles to 80 later on and its more playable however
      - First part of map is too long if you're going to have a boss battle, should be split into two maps
      - Crashes near  the traps
      - Had trouble downloading this as it clashed with some of my other addons but once i disabled them it worked fine
      
      OVERALL
      I love this idea, the map design, fight.. .EVERYTHING! Such a pity its badly optimised with high pings.Definitely still worth a play, especially if you have 4 players. Boss fight is time consuming and has no health bar but just keep shooting and you'll be right! Only rating ita 3/5 due to bad optimisation, crashing ect but if you like custom stuff, definitely try this one

      Pros:

      1- custom boss
      2- custom skins
      3- cool traps
      4- nice maps
      5- cool soldier
      6- very good intro
      7- details
      

      Cons:

      1- very difficult boss
      2- a color bug, in which appears the pink and black in that printscreen where it says "danger" on the wall
      3- no safe rooms and only 1 map
      

      Conclusion:

      the map is very cool, but its really frustrating that it has no safe room before the boss fight, therefore its bad to play it on advanced or expert.

      7.1

      Pros:

      A fully working map
      Good use of lighting, weather and atmosphere
      Traps in the forest, dangerous if you tread on them
      Good helicopter boss, entertaining fight
      Boss has a variety of weapons 
      The Enemy npc's covering the boss and the friendly npc covering you as you make your way into the helicopter
      Great scripting events such as the exploding building and the NPC getting strangled by smoker
      A fair amount of weapons and supplies 
      Very treacherous map 
      Funny with friends
      Excellent intro
      Good use of the sounds from L4D
      The river takes you down stream 
      A lot of custom features 
      

      Cons:

      Missing textures in a few rooms, such as the gnome or the laser scanner room
      Boss does not have good animations
      Difficult to tell what to do once killing the boss
      If you die at the boss battle you respawn in a toilet room outside the gate, so you are stuck 
      Traps were funny, but instant killing traps can be annoying, try and make those ones more obvious
      Tank can punch you out of the helicopter at the end, managed to get my friend and killed him.
      Survivor skins were nice, but cheap
      Gnome event was cool but short lived
      
      EXTREME LAG, we ran a local server and the average ping was about 70 for me, from my usual 5 ping. So thats quite a lot. 

      Conclusion:

      Amazing map and one I would return to, we loved every second of it, especially the house explosion when we all went inside and did not know that the helicopter blew up the entire house and killed us. So great map and hope you continue patching it up. Especially the frame rate and missing textures and lag.

      7.5

      Pros:

      + creek takes you downstream
      + traps
      + map is well framed
      + intro there
      

      Cons:

      - it is not clear what to do in the end, when the helicopter attack survivors. apparently it necessary to shoot, but why there stalkers? it's too hard
      - map is too long, can be divided into two parts: in the bunker
      - not enough texture in the cell where you sprayed
      

      Conclusion:

      forward error correction, the author :)

      7.8

      Pros:

      + Nice introduction!
      + Design of the levels isn't that bad, I liked the idea of the traps
      + Golden Gnome :D
      + Cliffside was a great scare! Chargers gave me a heart attack
      + Scanner system was nice, and putting the gnome in the pedestal also played out well.
      + Custom Boss as well as custom side bosses + take was great! Another target to shoot at besides the tank.

      Cons:

      - Missing textures when you put the gnome in and on the device that scans you
      - If you die you're F*CKED because you have to start from the beginning.
      - If teammates die during the finale, they spawn in the outhouse, and then somehow the bot teleports over and helps them out, then teleports back
      - Need warning about the traps in the forest, wasn't obvious on my first playthrough. I died and raged. :(
      - Chopper (see conclusion)
      - The invisible wall at the beginning was sort of a let down because honestly the only thing that should block your path is a cliff wall. You should just take that out.

      Conclusion:

      Overall it played out to be a nice single map campaign. Though I'm not sure if I'd like a safehouse somewhere, because if you die in the finale, your F*CKED. The idea that the chopper was burning the more rounds you survived with it, but I didn't feel like I was accomplishing anything by shooting at it. The idea of having side targets (military men) was nice when the tank came, and the Golden Gnome and putting it in the pedistal was godly.
      
      For that part, I thought maybe it would be interesting if you had to find the gnome, and then put it in the pedistal, instead of having the gnome right there, but thats just a thought.
      
      OVERALL
      79/100
      Nice, but some errors, missing textures, as well as dying and having to start from the beginning, but I can see a lot more potential if you were to fix the errors. The gnome was nice, but the event happened too quickly and felt a little useless in my opinion.

      Conclusion:

      Ill give this a 100,because of the people that rated this 5 or 20...
      The idea is great,another realistic bossfight.The soldiers were a nice addition,and the blue chopper soldier at the end too.The gnome skin was good,also the killable chickens.There are so many custom stuff which make the map crash sometimes but whatever.
      
      Also,from what game did you get the soldiers?

      Pros:

      -Intro
      -Boat!!
      -Traps 
      -Soliders
      -Helicopter!!!!
      -Chompski
      -Chickens

      Cons:

      -Heli had too much health
      - Only one map
      - Room unaccessible
      -Razorback?

      Conclusion:

      This map has some serious potentional! This map has alot of customazation along with the awesome intro and bill. I dont know why everyones is crashing but my friends and I tried it out and had no crashes though it was sorta laggy even with me hosting but it was still able to play it. I also like the boat filled with ceda also with the neat helicopter boss with missles but the helicopter had so much health we nailed that thing for a while and still ended up dying over and over that we gave up but i still like to give this map another go. I also hope that this campaign gets better reviews and this is a pretty good map just make it have 2 saferooms because it is tedious to go through the entire campaign over and over and over again. Try to find a place to put a nice saferoom so we dont end up redoing the enitre campaign.  Also there was a room during the final had like 2 heath kits and some special ammo but we could not get them even after the shack exploded @[email protected] than that good job so far hope this map is improved!

      Decent Poster

      Cons:

      The new Survivor skins, while new and cool, do not mix well with their old outfits

      Crashes often IF you get past the intro.

      Conclusion:

      Looks very good and promising, but needs to be fixed.
