      Good map, I just have a few small gripes.

      It's a good map. Solid theme, fairly well optimized, and really fun to play. Me and my friends had a blast! The only possible improvements to me are:
      
      1# In the first campaign, on the right side of the bridge and tunnel right outside the safe area, you are allowed to backtrack behind the buses and cars which leads to a dead end. I personally think it should either be blocked off, or you should hide a little secret back there.
      2# L4D2 weapons don't spawn in the saferooms
      3# In the third level, it wasn't very apparent where to go. I think the orange arrows guiding you should be larger and more abundant.
      4#In the last level there are death triggers in-bounds, which can be easily walked into.
      
      Aside from that the campaign is great. Keep up the good work

      Perfect campaign. Great map design. No botnav errors. No glitches/bugs. Plenty of supplies. Nice work.

      Pros:

      Great level design- very dark and creepy.
      Custom tasks (opening doors, draining water)
      Supplies changed with the terrain (fallen survivors in the woods, hazmat guys with bile in the lab)
      Lots of dialogue.

      Cons:

      Sometimes the lab got confusing
      In the tunnel in Map 2, you can fall down a ledge and die, without catching the ledge to be helped up.
      Bots didn't use ammo pile in finale always.
      Not much variety on weapon choices.

      Conclusion:

      Epic

      + Decent intro
      + Decent mapping
      + Decent amount of mobs witches tanks

      Cons:

      - Fire at the finale

      Conclusion:

      Mapping: 9/10

      Experience: 10/10
      TOTAL: 9.3
      EXTRA: 1/1
      I don't have too much time to give a detailed review but generally you can tell that I had a good time simply by checking out my rating. Yes, with bots, expert. Tried a few times all's fine except the finale, finale layout wasn't very good for killing tanks.

      Pros:

      ======= In general =======
      + Long campaign.
      + Nice amount of enemies.
      + Nice design of the forrest.
      + Finale was nicely designed as well.
      + Custom content.
      + Survivor dialogues and hints of them.
      + Sometimes very wide opened maps.

      Cons:

      ======= Map 2 =======
      - Jockey and Charger pounced Zoey at once, and she suddenly spawned in the floor.
      - AI Mates didn't want to get supplies in the tower.
      - AI navigation needs improvement.
      ===================
      
      ======= Map 3 =======
      - More supplies please.
      ===================
      
      ======= Map 4 =======
      - One of the AI mates fell through the elevator floor and died.
      - AI navigations needs a fix here as well.
      ===================
      
      ======= Map 5 =======
      - Tank hit Zoey and she fell onto a burning truck on the left side- how to help her?
      - AI NAV fix please.
      ===================
      
      ======= Miscellaneous =======
      - No Desert Eagle.
      - No L4D2 weapons, except the Military Sniper Rifle.
      - AI navigation could be better.
      =======================

      Conclusion:

      Played this campaign, quite often, but now, here's my final review. The campaign was nice and long, had a few nice surprises, the AI was mediocre, but not too bad. Fix these Cons and it's gonna be epic! For help, ask me.
      Review changed if campaign is updated.

      Pros:

      -The thing works. 
      -No noticeable nav problems.
      -This is tough, Playing it a few times you can see the engine doing its work. One time one tank on the second map to second time the map delivering a special infected epic onslaught.
      -unique maps and other new signs and textures.
      -It’s long.
      -Rewarded for exploring.
      -Many spawn closets

      Cons:

      Some of the same glitichs as in L4D campaign but I’m not a programmer but nothing that makes it unplayable.
      
      Seemed unfinished open areas in map 1 and others.
      
      It’s just a BETA, not finished.

      Conclusion:

      My review is similar to my L4D review of the map.
      
      Many improvement have been made sense version 2 and 3 of original L4D campaign. Little or no bugs.
      
      One of the most complete campaigns made. With a final polish will take over the top.  I'm also rating as a BETA not finish. When complete this number could fall My rating is as high as it is because there are campaigns that are incomplete, broken, and missing textures with ratings in the 90’s if they can get that this deserves higher.
      
      I hope the final will address open areas and play choices for better campaign. Also using more of the object and items available for L4D2.
      
      Other note to some other the other comments I'm not punishing developer for the texture problems mentioned because of the tools and what builders have to work with.

      5.5

      Pros:

      *Maps one to three are actually pretty good with three receiving the most improvement in L4D2.
      
      *Dark atmosphere that fits in with the Left 4 Dead survivors.
      
      *Maps are more balanced for infected than the Left 4 Dead version.

      Cons:

      Now this is where points will get taken off so please fix them if you want a higher score.
      
      *No Left 4 Dead 2 weapons, or they never spawned . Seriously heading towards a military base and no FN Scar or AKM in sight? - 10
      *No Desert Eagles -5
      *Very few melee weapons -10
      Map four is a let down and the lowest point of the whole campaign, the cartoony looking crates really killed it for me . Some parts such as the mine also look really bad, Map three could also use some flickering lights instead of total darkness for a more creepier feel.
      .-10
      *Bots don't grab med kits at the finale, even while their injured and I'm not going to heal them while dealing with a horde or tank. -5
      
      *Fortunato inflated the score due to fanboyism and ignored the fact that this campaign needs a lot of work on to make it better. -5
      

      Conclusion:

      This could have been a great campaign in Left 4 Dead 2 but the lack of features and repetitiveness kills it, on top of that melee weapons hardly spawn and it only uses weapons from the first game.
      Also cording to some comments this campaign is quite buggy.
      
      The transition between games should have been much smoother and more polished than this but players are obvious are  better off playing the Left 4 Dead version, but neither Dead Gateway release is much of a stand out campaign. So I would suggest players look for something better until these issues are fixed.

      Pros:

      >Custom intro
      >Good gameplay
      >Bots don't get stuck
      >Crescendo events
      >Nice design of areas
      >Original
      >Challenging
      >Uncommon Infecteds
      >Path signals guides you - you don't get lost

      Cons:

      >There's a serious lack of ammo, weapons and health items 
      >In map 1 you can't see Hunters or Jockeys because of the water.
      >Some crescendos don't display the incoming attack message
      >Some areas in map 3 are empty of items and zombies, and the search in rooms for nothing becomes boring
      >Bots don't grab the Medkits in the finale.

      Conclusion:

      Nice campaign to play, but save your ammo for hordes and special infected, or you're going to run out of bullets soon.
      Needs work but is playable.

      -Great story line
      -Awesome secret lab!
      -Dark and scary caves+shaft
      -Valve turning door
      -Many panic events

      Cons:

      -Too much throwable
      -Some shiny surfaces
      -Forest doesn't look like a forest but I still like it though
      -The water reflects!
      -Bots are kind of dumb

      Conclusion:

End of results.
