Simple architecture, lots of space to explore
The maps are built in a rather simplistic manner, but for the campaign's large open maps it's only for the better. Plenty of easter eggs, some nice events, good balance. And it's still getting updates.

Much needet update made this a must have
Well, played through it a couple of times after the update. Pros: + Unique ambience and atmosphere + Great level design, that is highly different to the usual "stuff" + Exceptionally well balanced in terms of supplies and overall difficulty + Lengthy campaign, with a great gameplay pacing + Big open areas that somehow are still fun to play through. Not many campaigns (if any) can do it so well. + Occasional survivor dialogue + Cool easter eggs and suprises + Visuals: Custom textures, sounds, assets, etc. Cons: - 4th chapter, last event before the saferoom with car alarm. Personally I don't mind it, but this chapter is rather difficult as is and punishing wounded survivors at the end like that, with an endless horde that needs to be ran through is unnecesary. It's either you have a green dude #yolo'ing or it's GG. Restarting at this point feels unfair. I'd at least consider to make the spawning horde non-endless. - While the update did wonders, the campaign still performes badly at times. Especially the 2nd chapter gate event and the 4th chapter castle event are still bad and cause high ping spikes amongst all players. - Still occasional fps drops here and there, albeit rather minor. Conclusion: This campaign is finally playable on a regular basis. Prior to the update, the fps drops and extreme lag spikes just killed the fun for me. But now it's great. While there are still issues in certain spots, there are not as many and they became less noticeable. Before somebody comes with the usual responses: No, it is not my system. i7 3770k@4,6 ghz & gtx980 can't have problems with this game. The unoptimized parts are simply more noticeable to me since I use 144hz monitor. Dropping down to 90 or even 70 fps at times just kills the mood, thus my rather explicit complaints in regards to the performance. I get that the amazing visuals and the engine limitation takes it's toll, but nonetheless... Anyway, this campaign is amazing and I highly recommend to try it out. Thanks a lot for making it, mr. hypnocyst. I am sure the small community still left playing is appreciating your effort immensely.

Fantastic! *Spoilers*
This is an amazing campaign! One of the best ones I've played. I love what you did with the lore and atmosphere such as -The plane, helicopter and car crash. -the charger knocking over the crate I also love the idea for the finale with burning the coffin and the custom rescuer voice definitely added to the idea that you are in England. The ending song was really cool as if it was a dramatic ending to a movie! I have no cons to give about this map at all except the maze was definitely a troll lol. Incredible map, will definitely keep this one!

5/5
Almost everything's perfectly done. The map design's obviously been given enormous attention to detail, from ground to skyboxes. Supplies are generously scattered if you know where to look. The crescendo events are not like those in some other maps that are just ridiculous (Just so they can be labeled as 'difficult'). No bugs, no glitches and the game instructor pop-ups tell exactly what needs to be done - on the right time. The only thing that can do some more work is the scarcity of melee weapons and optimization in some areas. Still giving this great and outstanding map a 5 out of 5 for the developer's working on it.

Thanks for your glowing review. I'm glad you like it so much. There's a big optimisation update coming soon (was meant to be before new year but there was more to do than i thought) so any optimisation issues you had will (hopefully) be much improved soon.

Thanks for your review. Much appreciated. I've spent the last four months working on a big update to the campaign and one of the things it aims to do is increase FPS in most areas. It's just about done and still need to test if the changes I've made have a noticeable effect on overall FPS but hopefully it works out and there'll be a better optimised version for you and everyone else to play before the new year.

Professional map with lots of replay value
Didn't expect this one to stand out from other well built campaigns, but the creator has achieved some something unique which i cant quite identify. In the end, its one great map, well balanced, great attention to detail with lots of replay value.

Amazing campaign. The absurd amount of tanks in the finale was unnecessary.

Amazing
This was an amazing campaign. The mapping was very high quality, it had some high quality (and amusing) easter eggs, and a great finale. Among the best custom campaigns I've played!

Really good experience!
Fun map with a lot of technique. Good job man! The evacuation is quite a revolution in matter of gameplay and was really challenging. One and only thing: the lack of details that breaks the immersion, but i guess that's a lot of work for a not so big result...

Best Custom Campaign I've played.
The setting was very realistic and fun. By the way, what was the ending song?

Terrible
The bots get stuck at the bottom of the ladder on the beginning of the first map, won't climb and follow, get killed by the endless swarms of infected, and then the tank and endless swarms of infected around the bin kill you. The end. IMO, not worth playing. Others have played it and will disagree, but that's okay. Perhaps with an all-human team the gameplay might be different because at least you're not at the mercy of the bots getting swarmed by endless infected and not following up the ladder at the beginning of the first map (that right there is an ill omen of the aggravation in store playing this terribly made map, although I suspect if the beginning of the first map is this bad, the rest of the campaign is equally pathetic). Fortunately, there are far better campaigns to download on here, such as Daybreak, or Splash Mountain, and I recommend investing your time in those (and, your data usage, if you're on a fixed amount of data usage per month).

You gave it a bad review because they bot did something stupid? They do that even on the normal maps! Dude if you don't want to be at the mercy of the bots make the session public so others join, THEN come back honestly review the campaign. Just because you don't know how to play the Campaign, it doesn't mean that the campaign is bad.

Comment all you want witchywitch, i'll remove anything else you say. Call it censoring if you want but as long as you're trolling i'll keep deleting.

I honestly don't mind bad reviews; they're good if constructive to help me improve. But when your review is "one ladder on the first map had some nav issues in a specific scenario i was in, at the mercy of the director, and therefore the whole campaign must be bad. i know this in my heart......but i didn't play it"..........just wow. Your opinion means f*** all and loses all legitimacy when that's the extent of your playing of this campaign.

Pros:
Lots of small events keep things from getting dull in the long maps. Event in map 2 is awesome Great design Surprise events Great finale Big, but still easy to navigate Enough supplies The areas with lots of witches
Cons:
Got really low FPS in some events, particularly on Map 2. A few places specials would get stuck, or sometimes hide in plain sight (once in map 1 or 2, a boomer just stood in the street doing nothing). Jockey started event in map 1.
Conclusion:
This campaign is hard. It seemed like once I found Tier 2 weapons in a saferoom, the maps got twice as long and twice as difficult. I'm not sure if some of the cons were the fault of my connection or l4d2 being l4d2, but regardless, this is a fantastic campaign.

Pros:
Custom voice for finale Map runs smooth Nice detail Cool events Everything works Good idea for finale
Cons:
Maps are just way too long Nav points for A.I are really crap
Conclusion:
I found this map fun, but not only are the maps long just a lot big areas too them, I think the maps could be shorter I found myself getting bored with the campaign because the maps just dragged on, I also had to play with 3 A.I which did not go to well, they did not like getting in the boat on the 3rd map and if they did they jump right back out it was impossible to start the boat because all of them kept bouncing in & outta of it, also a couple more areas they had issues in but other then that the map was good. nice job!

Pros:
- Definitely a difficult one - Long campaign - Improved FPS - Hordes number - Based on a real park - Large area with some details - Easy to find the way - Well designed final - Texture - BGM
Cons:
- Lots repetitive scenes in level three and four - Some open areas need more details and changes - FPS is still an issue - Get bored at level three and four
Conclusion:
I believe i have played this campaign for over ten times and i really like it. The huge hordes are really challenging. Besides this, some parts of level three and four are difficult, because basically i can not find enough places to hold the hordes. Since there are lots of wide open areas, teammates are easy to be seperated and be surrounded by hordes. However,sometimes i can start to get really bored and frustrated at level three or level four, not only because they are hard but also because most scenes need more details and intereting elements. I mean without some changes, it's just running through trees and getting ambushed by SI and surrounded by hordes. Generally speaking, level one, two, some parts in level three and four, also the final are really great. With improved FPS, i can add more custom elements to it. However, if you got some fresh and interesting ideas for level three and four, then the campaign would be perfect. Anyway, thanks for updating the campaign and trying to improve the fps issue. Please keep your good work up.
