      Nice

      Well done and I would look forward to a continuation (Skipping Class 2)  or more cards.

      Review

      Nice short fun campaign. However there are numerous annoying problems all on the finale. Bots sometimes may jump off of the ladder. Getting the gas to the van on single player is extremely tedious. If you through the gas out of bounds by the van (which I did not knowing where to go) they are stuck there and there is no way to get them making you have to go ALL the way back for the gas. However, thanks for not spawning infected after killing the two tanks, otherwise this would've been a nightmare. Overall, I'd say if you didn't make it a gas mission but waiting for the rescue veichle mission, I would've gave it 4 stars (minus 1 for being short.)

      Short, Fun, Difficult... nearly impossible when play with bots

      - There are only 2 maps as described.
      - The first part seemed to be glitchy when I played it. The frame rate dropped (very not smooth movements), no music or cue of the SIs, SFX on and off (OFF all the time). The quietest map I've ever played (lol).
      - The second part was fine, as for the frame rates. It is fun and challenging to play with friends, but very difficult if play with bot(s).
      - As the finale requires gas collection, bot will never carry them, so if playing solo, good luck fighting all the hordes, endless Tank per wave), and carry and fill the gas.
      - Very limited supplies.
      
      This is a suggestion, why not make survivors carry the gas like Hard Rain to ease players' task in the finale? Either that, or reduce the amount of Tank, or give some more time in between waves!

      Pros
      -good map design
      -lots of areas to explore
      -unusual finale concept
      
      Cons
      -rather limited supplies
      -finale enters "escape mode"  with permanent tanks too early when playing single-player (because it takes a long time to carry back the gascans).

      8.9

      Pros:

      - Intro
      - Dialogue
      - Decent layout
      - Flooding was well textured and realistic
      - Scattered items throughout both maps
      - Actually represented a school environment
      - Custom voice
      - Easy to navigate
      - Wooden planks barricading the safety area which could then be removed, added to the realistic effect
      - Tanks/ witches well placed
      

      Cons:

      - In map 1, sounds lagged? 
      - In map 2 there was no horde after the barrel exploded despite it saying 'here they come'
      - Lacking ammo piles in map 2
      - Lacking originality (Although this is your first attempt at a L4D2 campaign so this is expected and it is still a great achievement)
      

      Conclusion:

      I'm not sure why people are complaining that it's short, since it does say in the description that it is a 'short 2 map backtracking campaign', however, I quite enjoyed the length and despite having to run back it didn't have a repetitive feel to it, which is rare with this style of campaign. 
      It's a bit difficult to play on expert with only one person carrying the fuel cans and such, but it was still achievable in the end without having to lower the difficulty.  A few more added details to create a unique experience could  be beneficial, yet it is still a great campaign and I would recommend it especially if you're looking only for a short campaign.

      Pros:

      I must say I really liked the environment, maps are not really large, but feel big for some reason.

      Cons:

      Well, it's short.

      Conclusion:

      I must say short campaign is much better then when quthor tries to artificially prolong it or puts a lot of boring stuff in.

      Pros:

      - the school has a really scary atmosphere
      - good layout

      Cons:

      - some areas are lacking detail
      - finale is more or less impossible in single player if played on harder difficulty and still annoying on easy/normal
      

      Conclusion:

      Despite its short length I really enjoyed this map. I love the slow pace in the school level, the atmosphere is really creepy. For a long time nothing happens and often you only hear the 'knock door' sound of the zombies and the screams of the special infected lurking somewhere. Probably the most scary atmosphere in any L4D map I've played so far. On the other hand the school level is quite easy to beat, the map is short (which is not a bad thing per se) and the finale is annoying if played with bots due to the long distance you need to carry the four cans (something bots can't do). Some areas have rather low detail and could be improved. 
      
      If played online with human players this map is certainly a lot of fun though and I can only recommend it.

      Pros:

      -Very in depth story line
      -Good detail
      -Nice and long for good game-play
      -Gets players thinking on strategy (Advanced/Expert)

      Cons:

      Conclusion:

      The ending could have been better, but overall a great campaign.

      9.4

      Pros:

      Fun interesting environments
      decent fog
      not overly propped
      nice geometry (i love the curves in the pavement and street)
      realistic while surreal in some aspects
      interesting events (finale was very creative and innovative)
      custom voices
      well placed exploding barrels (wall event in particular)
      back tracking through the finale was interesting
      well placed vehicles
      nice custom textures, subtly custom but i noticed
      areas that looked detailed enough i wanted to explore        but surprisingly couldnt
      

      Cons:

      -.1 consistent witch in finale map
      -.2 nav errors with bots in finale map
      -.3 bots can shoot through the bushes in the finale preventing infected from spawning there (im talking about the bushes in the lot by the finale door between the door and the bus)
      

      Conclusion:

      a well done map with obvious time and consideration put into things. People may think map sections are empty but i say that they are realistically empty, can you honestly think that every 10 feet there should be something? i think the patches of emptiness made the fog creepier. (by patches of emptiness im talking about the area post ladder at the start of finale map) the consistent witch was the main drawback to the finale map, 6 of 6 times i launched the map there was a witch. the ability for bots to shoot through the bushes by the finale area (not sure if intentional) but it is a drawback as it removes a cover spot for infected which makes it more uni directional, while the bushes themselves were low they were high enough to potentially block bot LoS. The few nav errors in the finale were noticeable but not cataclysmic, mostly bot teleportations here and there as well as the bots taking long routes to close places. The custom dialogue was very interesting and took the map to a whole new level of customization which i found fresh and the backtracking through the finale area was also a decent blast. Theres alot of other commendations i can give your campaign paz but i need to cut the review short.
      
      a good map paz, needs only touching up here and there then i say its a 9.9 (no map is ever perfect)

      Pros:

      ========= In general ========
      + Good try for a first start.
      + Good lighting.
      + Design of school was pretty detailed.
      + Laggy parts have been fixed.
      + Design in general feels rather experienced.
      + Use of survivor dialogues.
      + Length of map 1 was average.
      + Well done.

      Cons:

      ========= In general =========
      - So short.
      - Too many locked doors in the last floor of the school.
      - Why not more maps?  :)

      Conclusion:

      Well cool campaign for a first try. Good lighting and use of dialogues, also the designing is well done. Just one big con is the campaigns length, but yeah, next time will be longer I hope. Normally I list more Pros, but well the Pros don't all show up here because of the length.
