      One of the best L4D2 campaigns I've ever seen 👍

      This campaign is a work of art. My favorite map is the second one. How can some people create such beautiful things? How can people be so different? Some campaigns are incredibly bad and I wonder why in "Map's" name would someone upload such pieces of --beep--. And then there are amazing campaigns like this one, with breathtaking graphics, that you have to move several steps and look around, take screenshots, move several more steps and be amazed by the scenes, and repeat these steps all over the map. I've seen a lot of great graphics in games and movies during the years, but there's something in the second map that makes it impressive and different. How can it amaze me after seeing lots of modern games and movies? I can probably feel the real talent of the artist/s who created this. Complex graphics and video effects are not everything that matters. The real artists can make you FEEL their creations. Looks and feelings are not the same thing. I see every day extremely complex graphics and effects in movies and games, but they usually lack any feeling. This is what's different in this campaign. I played with a continuous feeling of wonder, of beauty. How could someone or some people make ZOMBIE game maps be some of the most beautiful things I've ever seen? Very interesting and original finale, with traffic! Well... just a van, from time to time, but still. You have to watch for traffic in addition to zombies.😁 Another original idea that I love is about spikes. LOTS... Poor bots, I had to carefully lead them trough the area. 😄

      One of the best special melees.

      Do they have cactuses in the Egyptian desert? I didn't know, they seemed out of place lol. Very nice campaign, nice graphics, entertaining finale.
      I appreciate you not spawning a charger in every corner otherwise we would have probably died multiple times everywhere lol. The only thing I would add to this map is a bit more stuff around the first chapter beyond the initial cave. I like to scavenge and explore and check every corner, every door, every rock so it would be nice to find more stuff spread around and in odd spots. Also some secret door or rock block in the building that hides stuff, a few traps... I LOVED the special melee, absolutely one of my favourite melees ever, damn powerful, satisfying to kill jockeys with that. I like that you made it in 2 different colours, gold and silver and it would be nice to be able to pick a gold one if I already have a silver and viceversa but it didn't let me.
      I played all of your l4d2 campaigns and I think this is one of the best, bless you for still making l4d2 maps for the ones of us that still play this game consistently, good job!

      Awesome Campaign!!

      I played this campaign solo with Bots. Before the update there were issues that when I went and replayed after
      the update were corrected. The gas cans you fill to blow the wall were hard to set off. I did the usual and fired many
      rounds as well as used pipe bombs and molotovs (just because it was irritating me). On the 2nd play through I got up close and 
      personal and it caught fire. I ran like hell but Bots were all incapacitated when it blew up. Got them on their feet and finished that level. 
      Just because I wanted to try something else I played it a 3rd time after completing the campaign (minus 2 bots). 
      Found a much better way to set it off without any Bots going down. Involved standing on the large stone block. <G>.
      The finale map was corrected in the update and although hard there are enough supplies and you can take tactical advantage of
      the layout and that moving truck (toss a Bile bomb on the road and watch the mayhem <G>). That was fun!!
      
      Overall there are some unique things you'll encounter and some nicely done graphics instead of the usual cut and paste 
      "I've seen this interior before".
      So well done and folks will have fun playing it. Note that I always play new maps Solo so I can check everywhere and everything.
      I pause as needed to write notes on a pad for reviews. Bot navigation was good (sometimes too good as that ******* Ellis snatched the good weapons before I could <G>)
      
      Thanks for creating this as it's well worth the play!
      Dave

      Dayum, that was an intense experience! Definitely one of the more memorable recently made campaigns. The unique arid or desert aesthetic definitely distinguishes this campaign from a lot of the stock asset campaigns. The gameplay is fairly challenging, I bet this would be a lot of fun to run on expert, there's a lot of boss spawns and increased special frequency and limits, but it's not overtuned thankfully, it's perfectly manageable. Unless you are playing with a bot improvement mod, I would probably avoid playing this campaign with vanilla bots, they would no doubt be pretty bad at this one, but a bit of trail and error would probably still get ya through it. I was gonna say it's cool to see Dust2 in L4D2, but I just checked and there is a survival map unsurprisingly :P. In conclusion, if you're looking for a pretty fresh challenging campaign, I absolutely recommend you give this one a shot.
