      If you're familiar with the White Forest campaign, or even Half Life 2: Episode 2, this campaign is basically the White Forest campaign with some minor additions and two new chapters to play through, which I believe are original designs. Both of the new chapters are fine, really nothing to talk about, I believe there's a surprise on the finale that I unfortunately didn't get to see because my server setup didn't play nice with the finale. Yeah it's pretty good, worth a play. Took me around 50 minutes I think.

      Finished on Expert within an hour. Basically you can think of it as an extended version of White Forest, with a different atmosphere and some changes worth noting. Most changes just increase your play time or reduce your fps, which isn't worth talking about, but the changes to the second map reduce the difficulty greatly... That's not good. Overall, the changes to the previous four maps can't bring you much more fun, but they're acceptable. Then let's talk about the two new maps. To be honest, I don't like them. The fifth map is way too short and easy, and the event is just boring because there're only 5 gas to collect and the hordes are completely not a problem. The sixth map is quite large, and it requires you to run around, touch this, touch that, kick tanks' asses, run back and press a lot of buttons. Yeah, that's not fun for me, because I never liked to run through very large areas or to do repetitive tasks in L4D2. What's more, the fps was only about 30~40 for me, which makes the experience even more unpleasant. I give it 4 stars, for it is a HL2 campaign and nothing more.
      And there's another problem: the author of White Forest is Missed, not mixmedia, I think.

End of results.
