      8.3

      Pros:

      plenty of supplies  
      good map for running outs

      Cons:

      some of the supplies should be outside, throwables and ammo boxes
      bots randomly run off  on their own, thats usually when i die
      buildings are way to dark inside
      can only juggle guns on half of the map, other half they disappear if you try

      Conclusion:

      overall, a very nice map, i give it an 8.3 now, fix those few shortcommings and this will be in the nines.

      8.7

      Pros:

      - Nice idea, well executed
      - Great idea
      - Lots of places to camp
      - Lots of potential
      - Tons of supplies
      - AI pathing works very well

      Cons:

      - The buildings were too dark on the inside, even for a ghost town
      - Maybe a bit too much open space, but that's just a matter of personal taste.
      - The buildings seemed too big and empty

      Conclusion:

      Nice job on your second map! The idea is great, the AI is smooth, and it's great fun with a bunch of friends. Again, I'm not much of a survival fan, but with a bunch of friends this is a really fun map. Keep up the good work!

      8.5

      Pros:

      +Nice Introduction
      +Large maps with detailed environmental design
      +Ghost town you say? You did a great job realising it in this map
      +Detailed and suitable custom textures and props placement
      +Good amount of supplies provided
      +Well made nav for a large map. Everything goes smoothly; the bots, infected etc.
      +Nice skybox xD

      Cons:

      -Map is large and have too many safe camp spots for players (IMO)
      -It took awhile for the tanks to get to players
      -Infected spawn/attack area can be predicted due to the map large size. They're killed as they were running from the roads and few reaches to attack players
      -Rooms are kind of dark to me
      -Certain area lacks detail or blurry textures

      Conclusion:

      This map has the looks and feel of a ghost town however in my opinion, you can change the soundscape to match the map title and also I agree with Robo's conclusion. If this map is based on a real place and resembles the Midwest theme, I do agree that your buildings design and textures need to be change. Also, even if it's a ghost town, it shouldn't be quite empty; add more props in the buildings, a little on the roads etc. Above all, this map is fun to play and I'll wait for the next update

      8.1

      Pros:

      - Everything as far as the .vpk goes was in working order, no missing images or errors (although I thought the loading poster could have been a bit more creative).
      - Navigational mesh seemed to be mostly error free, although sometimes it would take tanks a while to arrive. 
      - Fair amount of supplies, just search the buildings!
      - The map was extremely large, making it both easy to survive and fun to explore, aha. 

      Cons:

      - Overall the map was a bit buggy, some lighting in certain areas would flicker in and out of black, and the lighting seemed awkward in certain places, too bright or too dark. 
      - Certain brushwork all throughout the map was abnormally large, not proportional. 
      - Mainly just a lack of detail, even the bushes/shrub props weren't even rotated to at least make them appear to be different.
      - I don't really know, but the soundscape/ambient background sounded like an ocean in the beginning, which doesn't match the map theme at all. 
      - Sometimes after all the survivors died, the map would crash with an engine error reading 'ED_Alloc: no free edicts'. It could be from just the shear size of the map, but it sure was an inconvenience. 

      Conclusion:

      - The map is titled 'Ghost Town' and you say its based off a real on in the Midwest, but I just don't understand the concept, is it supposed to look classic/1700/1800's theme, or more modern? It seems to be a combination of both. I feel this could be so much more enjoyable with just simple touch ups and changes, but right now it's just so buggy and not all that attractive. I probably wouldn't recommend this map, it's just not polished enough, you would have more fun putting your time into a better map... but I look forward to future updates!

      8.4

      Pros:

      Intro
      Based on a real location
      Nice idea
      Enough supplies
      Alot of camping locations

      Cons:

      Really open and quite empty - easy to survive
      Spitt bug - on the yellow barricades
      Lack of details
      
      (Neutral opinion)
      
      Maybe add a jukebox?
      No radio talking

      Conclusion:

      A decent map. Its not hard to survive for a long time and to be honest, it wasn't that intresting or fun to explore the map becasue of the empty, huge locations. Thought, its a beta so hopefully it will be some more details and bug fixing in the future.
