Looks great in some ways, plays mediocre, voice narrative hit and miss
This is a different looking campaign. It has a lot of voice acting and a lose narrative, and while that in itself is unique, the act gets tiresome. The locations are very polished and professional looking, but for many of the outdoor environments, there is something about them that makes them look and feel small, like you are on a movie set on a soundstage. The paths and playability are about average, so it wasn't enough of a satisfying experience for me to want to replay it.

Review
Perfect campaign. Great map design. Nice custom music. Nice voice acting. No botnav errors. however, for some reason the 2nd tank on the finale suicided. But anyways, nice work.

None.

Pros:
A story! Reasonable story at that, with logic to each step along the way Its very own one-off Man On The Edge (each day gets closer to losing his head) Some nice touches with the suicides Huge area not just a tube A witch in a dark maze of twisty little passages, all different, part of my suggestion for how to make a scary campaign! A visible helicopter arrival and highlighted access route Resupply just when I was starting to worry about it Long without repetition or grind
Cons:
Glowing golden desert with incandescent milk river in the bottom of the canyon Bullet-proof air, particularly in the open-sided jeep Ladder to helicopter is partially underground and the glow shows it One place where I felt like I could be there an hour waiting for a moment to climb out of the hole, which I could have chanced with human team-mates but not with bots Lost all three bot team-mates because the one place I didn't expect the pick-up was the helipad that already had a burning heli on it, we were at the supply room and they stayed there to fight rather than running with me when I saw where the heli went.
Conclusion:
Beautifully done. Highly recommended. Just be sure to leave the supply room and head for the helipad before you kill the second tank in the finale.

Pros:
- Desert envornment like Mad Max XD that brings you an apocalyptic feeling - Highly detailed and huge map - I like the quote "staring Tom Savini" :D
Cons:
- Lack of more weaponry, in fact i thought i was playing l4d1 with the "toy" weapons - The cave was too dark to be a daylight environment
Conclusion:
- One of the most interesting maps here, the only problems i found were these minor ones. Good job

Pros:
- Custom radio acting - Custom graffiti - Difficulty is alright - Lots of guns - Acceptable number of tanks - Well designed - I like how the ladder is highlighted at the finale so that we can find the helicopter as the area is very big
Cons:
- Not enough molotovs / pipebombs / bile jar etc - Not enough ammo caches - Quality of the voice is bad, almost unable to hear what is the guy trying to say - Too many jockeys and chargers (won't deduct) - Finale was a little bit too easy (won't deduct)
Conclusion:
This is actually a good map even with bots. Difficult part is where there's only 2 molotovs and a pipebomb through out the whole campaign. This is worth the time.

Pros:
- generally very well made - very detailed maps - gorgeous environment there are very few daylight and desert climate campaigns - has a story to it -
Cons:
- not enough ammo caches(-1) - second level on advanced is impossible with bots because of too few health packs(-1) - finale too easy because of large area to manouevre - lack of ammo caches forces the player to devolve to smgs and pump actions in the bunker level and few other places - The narrative is pretty cool feature however the voice on the radio is very weak and it is almost impossible to hear what he is saying. This takes away from the experience and immersion (-1)
Conclusion:
I strongly recommend this custom campaign to anyone. You should definately try it. I will be eagerly expecting the next update. I hope the author will continue working on it as it has an enormous potential.

Pros:
- west theme !!! - desert theme !!! - "based on upcoming film Mary Doe" (the movie is never coming???) - some interesting moments (the voice in the safe room, some dialogues) - custom music which is really great (i mean the whole soundtrack) - bright light, good visual field - nice underground cave (dark, with underground stream) - there are so many common infected standing everywhere (so you can not rush through the whole map easily) - good view and great atmosphere (the sands, the sunlight, west-style houses) - lots of good place to camp in the finale - another nice research institute - good place to use all kinds weapons - not so difficult one but can be really attractive, awesome experience playing in Hard Eight mode, never get bored through out the whole journey - no repetitive and many different elements - guidence is good, never get lost (e.g. you can see the trigger point from a great distance) - nearly no bug - on some places, attacks from SI could be really threaten which is nice
Cons:
- "85% completed" "beta" ???? - the whole journey is a little short - need more horde events especially on finale, it's a so easy finale even playing in Hard Eight mode - the custom postlude is too short
Conclusion:
awesome map, lots of interesting and creative ideas here, no repetitive with different elements, decent layout design and solid gameplay, never get bored, just a little easy for finale and a little short, maybe it's so great that i can never get too much of it, strong recommended

Pros:
-Desert-themed map. -Reminds me of the later Resident Evil movies, very nice. -Jake added some nice atmosphere in my opinion. -Custom grafitti, objects, etc. -Custom music bits. -The Tank music. Sweet mother the Tank music.
Cons:
-The orange filter is a bit strong, makes things hard to see sometimes. -Little bit too much static and such Jake's and the rescue's voices.
Conclusion:
Overall excellent map. Jake giving instructions and some slightly crazy ranting added a lot of atmosphere, and I think it to be a very nice idea. Easily one of my favorite maps.

Pros:
+ Custom Texture/models/ambient sound + Perfect mapping + Tanks/witches placing + Enough mobs/events/tanks + Jake's instruction
Cons:
- Lack of dialogues, especially concerning Jake's requests - Bad special infected spawn position - Excessive weapon spawns - Jake
Conclusion:
Mapping: 10 Events: 6 Experience: 7 Extra: mapping(2)+custom materials(2) Total: 9 Jake should've watched his language if he knew there was a pretty young lady like Zoey in the "team"

Pros:
-Expansive. -Unique desert theme. -Entertaining finale. -custom skins.
Cons:
-Over modulated voice (tone it down!) -Very...yellow -Hazy/dusty areas overdone
Conclusion:
Overall not a terrible map, it has a very unique theme (desert, not often used), the between houses were fun to explore and it made for a good challenge throughout. But there are some glaring downsides. For example, yes its a desert, we get that but my god I don't think I have ever seen a desert this ugly of a yellow before...it looks a Jarate stained filter was covering the screen half the time. Secondly, its cool you decided to add the custom dialogue and all but it was painfully loud and half the time you could not hear what the guy was saying. Tone down the modulation on the voice if you ever get around to editing the map, lastly it was a desert I know, but the parts with the sandy or dusty clogged areas were a bit to much and had to tell at times where to go. Yes I'm being a little nit-picky about it all but some one had to say something. Its a great map, don't get me wrong I had fun, but its not a map I'm holding onto (also I can't seem to find any server thats not modded to hell with it, had to play off my personal internet connection). Easily I would recommend people to at least try it, its good and worth at least one play through.

Pros:
- Very detailed enviroments. - Nice story. - Nice chapter length. - Optional voice acting disabler. - From bright sunny areas to pitch dark caves and facilities and viceversa. - Well-placed weapons and goodies. - Custom music, and well-placed too.
Cons:
- The sand is too bright and sometimes it's annoying. - Final chapter with no ammo piles. - Tanks in final chapter can get stuck in the windows of the building where the medkits are. - Voice acting is a little too loud. - Could do with more uncommon common infected variety.
Conclusion:
Needs some polishing, but it's very good campaing. The contrast of sunny bright areas and pitch dark caves is a nice feature. Good story. Kinda reminded me some Black Mesa chapters. Can't wait for the final version.

Pros:
very well made great length detailed from sunny desert to dark and creepy areas desert theme is unique and well done not buggy some extra paths music nice finale bots were fine weapon and item distribution
Cons:
played without the voice guy, im guessing it wouldve made it worse data download part was confusing. saved a lot of time because someone i played with had done it before no ak47s?
Conclusion:
i didnt expect this campaign to be much to be honest, but it was extremely fun and well made. one of the top campaigns, obviously put alot of effort into it. i had fun, would probably play it again

End of results.
