Creative and fun campaign.
I've played this campaign with my friends, it has only 3 chapters but chapter 2 and finale are really long but there has plenty of supplies in the campaign, especially throwables, players can use the molotovs in chapter 2 during panic events, or burn the tank at the last part.^^ In finale players must escape from facility, players can use pipe bombs and bile jars to attract zombies, which will make it easier to escape.^^ There also has some creative parts, such as player need to jump on the pipes to get to the next room in chapter 2, and the finale rescue is flying Jimmy Gibbs sports car, this is really surprising and interesting.XD The whole campaign have no glitches, and level design is really good.^^ Really a nice campaign.^^

Creative
Good The gritty dark atmosphere that you start in. Supplies were plenty in each map,even the finale had enough things to keep the horde off your back. Didn't find any errors. The horde spawn wasn't too much. Bad It's pretty confusing where to go. A lot of places just looked empty & bland. Parts were really dark & hard to see. The end gauntlet was really long,felt longer than any other campaign,but I liked the idea of the flying escape car at the end. I had fun & I will keep this in my folder,likely upload a run onto this site in the future.

Creative and thoughtful
This map succeeds where several custom campaigns falls short- atmosphere. It's easy to see the dev put a lot of work and a lot of love and a lot of thought into this campaign. I love the atypical pathing- I wish more campaigns featured the climbing up pipes and other workarounds for debris used in this campaign. The outro didn't bother me because I already had the DeLorean from Back to the Future mod, so it fit perfectly. Overall an excellent map, definitely keeping this one!

WELL DONE CAMPAIGN WITH NO MAJOR ISSUES. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
PROS - Has its own little story - Outro, hahaha - Supplies are everywhere if you explore, except on the finale which supplies are everywhere you look - Good direction, had mazes with no direction but thats the point, was fun :) - Long maps - Nice atmosphere - Maps well designed CONS - none OVERALL Great campaign, achievable on expert campaign with only one other player. Great for some fun and a bit of spookyness during that sewer part :) Highly recommended

Review
Nice long campaign, pretty enjoyable. However, it can be pretty confusing where to go at times. Other than that loved it. Plenty of supplies (lacking on the finale though) No glitches/bugs (however I got incapped by a jockey on top of a ladder and then the bots tried to climb the ladder but the jockey blocked it so I bled out.) No botnav errors. Nice map design very unique. And the flying car was hilarious. Nice work.

Conclusion:
Solid campaign- the cons are pretty minor.

Pros:
- Good weapon placement - Atmospheric - Not too linear - Simple yet effective - Dark in all the right areas - Smooth gameplay - Crazy ending
Cons:
- Lag spots - Over abundance of throwables - Dry opening - Short (3 maps) - Boring layout (Factory/facility) - Crazy ending
Conclusion:
The pros outweigh the cons on this map by a small margin. It was still a fun campaign to play and I recommend people at least give it a try but it did have some issues here and there. The opening seemed overly simple and could have at least used a scenic driving shot down a hallway instead of just going straight to character. As some other reviewers pointed out the excessive amount of Molotovs and pipebombs made the ending really simple. Lastly I encountered some major lag spots where there was excessive props laid out (the massive body pile in the screenshot above being one of them). But I'm not going to say these things made the game terrible by any means. I still had fun and might play it again sometime down the line. In fact it had some of the best weapon placement in any map I've ever played...not too spaced out but still a small risk of running out of ammo just before finding another ammo canteen. The amount of movement, climbing and twisting hallways made this a lot of fun to explore every spot I could find and the darkness felt just right that made me want to get to a lighted area as quickly as possible! Lastly on the subject of the ending...all I have to say is...WHAT!? No seriously that was my words exactly...WHAT!? I was so shocked by the ending that I can't quite state if it was good or bad...but I won't spoil it for others...play for yourself and form your own opinion there! Over all it was quick, fun and worth a try. Congrats on a above average campaign.

Pros:
-Very well structured -Neat design and scenery -The perfect amount of infected to accommodate the length of the maps -Great finale -Hilarious ending
Cons:
-The huge amount of pipe bombs at the finale made things a little TOO easy
Conclusion:
I personally had a lot of fun with this campaign, it felt really alive throughout the whole thing. I probably wouldn't mind playing this again someday.

Pros:
Really very well built Lot of good ideas The very large rooms (hangar, warehouse, tank, ...) The size of the rooms is disconcerting, i like it ! it's a great sensation ! The factory and the laboratory are no frills, juste well built Meticulous work Just 3 maps but very effective and long Undergrounds are awesome ! (glaucous, dark, bloody) Some good gory ideas ! Ambient sounds are nice The flying car is a fun idea ! I laugh a lot ! No bug !!!
Cons:
Cons ?! Hum ... no.
Conclusion:
For me : I really liked your work ! Conscientious work. This campaign is very interresting and not boring. Just play it !!!

Pros:
-3 Big maps -Many details -Subsurface is glaucous -Very good architecture -Immersive campaign
Cons:
-None
Conclusion:
Only 3 maps, but three big quality maps. Decors immerse us perfectly in different atmospheres. No bug (or so I have not seen them, very discreet ! ^^), no lag, bots are not stupid. Large rooms are really well done. The subsurface is glaucous as hell, cool ! :o) Overall, the architecture is very well done, textures are carefully chosen, the path is well thought. The final is quite surprising but effective. Personally, I loved the ending video. Hard work and excellent results. Congratulations ! :o)

Pros:
Nice details and textures Levels are long Very creepy (especially at the sewers) Glow in the dark suits for the commons at dark areas Rescue vehicle (Jimmy's stock car) flies
Cons:
Very difficult especially in Single Player/Expert Too many Jockeys and Hunters Chargers become a problem especially at narrow spaces Very difficult to navigate the map
Conclusion:
One of the most difficult map I've ever played! (Hadn't realized I had to go through an air vent on the ceiling just to pass the map.) Great map! You'll want this to play over and over again!

Pros:
Beautifully designed Wonderful setting Highly detailed Very difficult (This could be a con if you like easy maps, but I like a good challenge) Hilarious ending Tricky and challenging Darkness of the lab breaks into light of the outside, very balanced Creepy Plenty of surprises (like 2 Tanks ._.)
Cons:
Easily lost Gets even more difficult to play with bots Too many special infected (I don't really like getting continuously pounced on) If you don't turn on Game Instructions, you have no idea what to do next.
Conclusion:
It's a very wonderful map with plenty of surprises, both good and bad. But if you play this on Advanced or Expert, it's going to be REALLY difficult, almost impossible. I've already tried this on Advanced and it was Hell for me, so Expert will probably be impossible. I really love the ending, it's different and really funny and just brings back memories of Dead Center. I was initially surprised to find that there were only 3 levels, but each was long and fun to play through. Would be nicer if there were 4 or 5 slightly shorter maps, than 3 incredibly long ones. I also personally think that the setting outside the lab (in daylight) would be better if it's split into 2 levels and a bit more elaborated on since I think that final level's a bit rushed (Then again it could be just me. I ran through the entire thing in a panic) Overall, I really love this map. I love the concept, the texture, the detail, the shooting and the puzzles. Very good map.

Pros:
HARD. Little claustrophobic scaring is great. The dead people all chopped up scared me multiple times. So many glorious rooms to navigate. It´s a maze in its own right. Dark.
Cons:
Impossible on expert. You either kill each other to fast or the hordes insta-gib you. And the finale is literally impossible on expert, you cannot even get out the door. The bots don´t follow me... I think I got hit by at least 20 jockeys and hunters in THE FIRST MAP ALONE.
Conclusion:
Really good, just tone down some things and bug fix a few others and it will be an amazing map. We had lots of fun playing this one...even though we may have executed each other a few times in the tight corridors.... lolz.

Pros:
Excelente mapa, muito divertido e desafiador. Basta jogar mais de 1 vez que fica mais fácil.
Cons:
Nada contra.
Conclusion:
Na primeira instalação tive uns probleminhas com texturas e as vezes o jogo fechava nessa campanha. Mas o problema estava na atualização do meu L4D2 e não nesta campanha. Obrigado e parabéns!

Pros:
Pretty long After all very detailed (see cons for explanation) Surprisingly well worked with bots Wisely placed weapons and ammo on first two maps Finale map in Cold Stream style (whole map is one big gauntlet), but not as next-to-impossible to do as in said campaign Small size of file (it's important for me as... well, I am trying to get new hard drive and I can't force myself to do so :D)
Cons:
If there wouldn't be any description here, I wouldn't have any idea what Survivors are doing in that complex Definitely too much explosive barrels + one glitched in finale (released twice as much fire as it should and I almost burned to death) and only one was placed in helpful place (the last one - shooting it blocks one path entirely, giving some time to Survivors) Second map was too long, at the end it was just plain boring, also I got lost on it (it turned out I had to go into ventilation shaft in ceiling) I would place some pistols in second map (I don't remember even one pickup of neither Glock or Magnum) I don't have any idea what caused Crescendo Event on 1st map - some alarm or sth would do the trick (I disabled music, if this could be a reason) No ammo in finale (I don't know how the hell I passed it on Advanced with only pistols) Flying car... I forgot when I felt so disappointed after finishing any campaign in L4D
Conclusion:
I played it for about 80 minutes and I didn't waste even one second - very cool campaign, enjoyable, playable with bots and even finale was... huh, fully positive - except for rescue vehicle. So easy to fix: make some gate behind car and spin it 180 degrees, so it will face that gate. Maybe it will look too much like Dead Center, but at least it won't be weird. EDIT: OK, it seems that ERROR signs was due to last update, also graphics somehow changed on my PC, so I edited review a little. Maybe +0.1 as those errors wasn't author's fault.

Pros:
Long Campaign design & crafting excellent Bots behaved themselves Expectant atmosphere and good horde events Sparsley placed ammo and goodies makes a challenging task and introduces a bit of tension
Cons:
Not impressed with flying car finale....... tends to spoil it. simple helicopter would have done
Conclusion:
This is an excellent campaign, and an obvious lot of hard work has gone into it. It is without doubt one of my favourites. The replay value alone is worth a 10. P.S. I just cant believe this........At the time of writing this, the campaign was playing perfectly well. Valve then decides to 'Update' L4D2 and now there are big red ERROR blocks all over the place. It's totally screwed with your campaign. What a firm!!!
