      Pros:

      - Good idea, i love the fact you have to build to defend yourself
      - every kind of supplies
      - good design, the building is really interesting and funny to play

      Cons:

      - i really hate the fact i only can build my fortress while i have to fight at the same time it makes it really difficult to play, i can´t even heal myself, so obviously i can´t do anything else
      - The bots are horrible, for some reason they love staying outside to get killed by the zombies

      Conclusion:

      - I hate the idea of building while i´m fighting or rather staying alive while i can i´d say but well the map is great and i liked the idea i hope you could update it to make it more playable or at least a new version

      Pros:

      A great challenge with friends
      Great defensive positions
      Interesting features like the big gun on the tower and the cage.
      

      Cons:

      Needs to be made so bots are not useless
      No chance unless you have players
      Gets laggy sometimes

      Conclusion:

      Overall, I really enjoyed this map. I thought that it was a great challenge with my group of friends and it took a lot of time to work out a suitable tactic between the four of us. It's something you'll replay and replay until you get the building complete. I would strongly suggest for you to get this maps. Very good!

      Pros:

      + A lot of things to build, and all things seem to be working.
      + Interesting "Big Daddy" gun, though, as you have mentioned, can not focus on anything else than specials or tanks... It makes life a little easy.
      + Noted as a barricading map, but more of a building map? It's still rather unique for actually building the fort from scratch.
      + Very fun with other players, as you can organise your team to take care of different floors and assign different people to build.
      + Challenging, however, may be too challenging, but I'll note it down that, at least it's challenging, than easy.
      + To balance the (almost) impossible horde, the players are given M60s and grenade launchers. (Yay!)
      + The game does not get any more difficult, through time. This is a positive thing, as the map is difficult as it is.

      Cons:

      - Bots are completely useless, and this map is only playable online, with other players.
      - Way too many tanks, but you have already noticed this.
      - The players are only given enough time to build one wall. Which is not going to hold me and three other players from a screaming zombie armada. As a result, there should be more time to build the walls, at the very least.
      - The fort's first level is incredibly cramped, and that a single tank can destroy the entire team once inside the fort, thanks to the cramped conditions.
      - After calling the radio, there is no actual dialogue from the radio, and no actual survival. But I won't deduct points because of this.
      - As the fort's first floor is too cramped, I can only imagine that explains why the stairs to the second floor is outside of the fort... I do not see the logic in having a stair case... Outside of the fort?...
      - There is no time between hordes, though this is realistic, it makes the tank appearances that much worse, as players do not get a break from the tanks.
      - Zombies, and especially tanks will be glitched through the gate-like feature, and can be killed by players when trapped.
      - Zombies will get to the second floor, and not even touch the first floor. No points deducted, as this is the fault of the path system for the AI, but this can be fixed by increasing the space between the ground, to the second floor, making the second floor unreachable to the zombies.

      Conclusion:

      As a conclusion, this map is my first, and last barricade map I will play; it's very good, don't get me wrong, the map had me and my friends hooked for hours on end. But there are many problems with the map that made it rather unplayable. We can get the first floor all set, but after the gate is on a recharge, we're just sitting ducks. By the time one tank is killed, another will come by only to destroy us.
      7/10, may not be an amazing score, but I believe with a few tweaks, this could be a flawless map.
      
      P.S. The developer of "Blood tunnel" was able to increase the amount of tanks after a certain amount of time. If this is the case, then you should be able reduce the amount of tanks. You could check with that developer for some hints and tips.

      Pros:

      great idea
      challenging
      special weapons strewn around the area
      different from the other building maps

      Cons:

      no grace periods
      impossible with bots
      tanks spawn too often
      needs tier one weapons at start for the difficulty regardless

      Conclusion:

      Great idea that needs expansion and work but problems are abound. Grace periods absolutely need to be added, as it's difficult to build things or heal when under constant attack by common infected. At the current moment, bots are just useless, while tanks spawn a little too often than most other maps. Brilliant idea, but these problems need to be remedied and fixed. Keep working and I'm sure this will be a great survival map.

      7.5

      Pros:

      -Fun!!
      -Original
      -Hard but not impossible
      -Replayable
      

      Cons:

      -Spelling and grammar issues
      -Pointless tunnels on far edges of map?
      -Needs more detail (In-game and non-game) Some Examples: 
      *This page needs a better description
      *Addon itself needs pictures (Loading Art, Addon pic)
      

      Conclusion:

      I really like this map. The original gameplay and difficulty really appeals to me. It has a high replay level due to the building mechanic. However, you need to fix the grammar and spelling issues in it, as well as add more detail. (Specified above)
