Kind of long journey but fun campaign, with some escape events
I took about 1 hour & 20 minutes because I tried to solve the puzzle on map 3 first although I already failed. I'll explain the puzzle later (edit: I can't solve the puzzle, & even this is much harder than RE or Silent Hill puzzles. New record for the hardest puzzle in L4D2 in my opinion, I guess). This campaign is good, but some areas put survivors under pressure, like having a kind of countdown. Bot navigation is fine though. Supplies are good, though in the beginning of map 1, survivors need to walk for awhile to get primary weapons. Directions are good, though some areas are still confusing & need more thorough observation to figure out where to go. . Map 1 is still a warming up. Survivors only need to follow the paths & do the highlighted objectives. However, there's a bugged place on the river near the ladder leading to the surface. There's a deep area where survivors will get stuck in the water & can't get out unless using noclip. So, just watch your steps near the ladder. . Map 2 is the introduction of under-pressure events. Survivors mostly go through burning houses. Though there are directional arrows inside the burning houses, the paths are still rather confusing. In my play, I just moved slowly while looking around every few seconds to look for the arrows. There's a place with a gas leak, but I don't know what will happen if the gas pipe gets shot by accident, because in my case, I played safe not to shoot carelessly in the burning houses. The under-pressure event happens near the end of the map. There's a hint to run, & survivors keep yelling, while the fire is chasing behind. I also don't know what will happen if the fire chasing behind hits the survivors, as I also played safe by keeping running after looking back few times. . Map 3 has an annoying puzzle trap. Survivors are given a time limit like 4 minutes to solve the puzzle. There are 6 buttons including the confirmation button to open the gate. Each button except the confirmation button has a special infected painting on the wall or floor. I failed to figure out so the trap came out: a tank. Even after failing, the button still worked so I tested until I figured out the code. Actually there's a hint about special infected, but players may still be confused, because it's not only about special infected. More exactly, it's about the order of special infected, from the small to big number. However, as far as I know, the order of special infected is random on each play, so literally it's kind of pure luck to solve the puzzle in one play. So, it's better just to camp somewhere safe until the time's out, rather than get frustrated in solving the puzzle, because even the hints come rather late, like when almost 1 minute is wasted, & by the time the last hint appears, you'll only have less than 2 minutes to solve. . Map 4 is very long journey from the road with many cars to a factory. There are some flying car traps, but there's a warning so they're avoidable. There are also paths that the flying cars can't reach. The main event takes place in front of the called elevator. While waiting the elevator, a tank will come one by one for 2 waves after the normal incoming waves. . Map 5 is kind of unexpected. Survivors are inside the spaceship!! The objective is simply to open a door leading to escape location, but during waiting the door to open, there's a holdout event. After the door opens, there's the last under-pressure event. The spaceship somehow is about to explode, so survivors need to keep running. The warning pops up again near the end of the map where the escape plane is. There's a tank guarding the escape plane. I don't know what will happen when the time runs out, because in my play I just baited the tank around & then got into the plane with the bots. . In short, it's a long but playable campaign, with a puzzle & some under-pressure events. Just ignore the puzzle on map 3, ok, & just see it as a normal holdout event. Good to play with bots or friends.

Edited my review because the puzzle on map 3 is really impossible to solve, as it has random code generator on each play.

Have some little problems but still fun.
This is a campaign to escape to outer space. Although there are problems in the map, in the chapter 2, I shot the zombie in a house but suddenly the whole town burned up, and there has the puzzle I couldn't solve in chapter 3. But I think the overall map design is not bad, I like the design around the square house in chapter 1, the rocket launch center in chapter 4 and the escape section in the finale. It's still fun to play.^^

Pretty Good, More Improvements Would be Good
Interesting map, not the best but not the worst + Alot of chapters + Pop up hints are well made, and pretty clear + Code puzzle + SPAAAACE, love the finale, always loved space themed stuff + Low grav on final map, adding more manuverability and dodge incoming attacks - Too many open and empty spaces - Many rooms are left too empty, leading to lackness of storytelling and purpose of the room before the event started - Alot objects are misplaced / not well arranged, crooked chair, mailbox attached to the back of Military Truck? - Landscaping could use some work - No heads up for the code puzzle (?) or perhaps i missed it (?) and it kind of confusing, i don't think by putting SI spray next to the number would ease up the puzzle difficulty on figuring the number sequence, + but thanks to the hints in that certain area you'll know the code All in all not the best map you'll ever play, but certainly not the worst, i'm guessing this is the very first work made? if yes then this is pretty well done, in my opinion, but there's still alot of rooms for improvements.

Do not play it
pros: + the last two maps are more or less good + only the ending of the original and good cons: - disgusting level design, texture, lack of logic in the passage, as well as the placement of objects - it was very boring to the end, only the ending of the original

@sophia hapgood My opinion does not necessarily coincide with yours and may vary.

Loved it
Unlike a lot of reviewers I had no trouble navigating the level. The mapping quality was good, the campaign was long with a fair difficulty curve, and the finale was really interesting. If I'm being overly critical the only nit I would pick would be that I found the sunlight on the first (beach) map to be a little over saturated. Still would peg this a "must play" though

Good Idea but bad design
PROS Good idea, fight zombies in NASA rockets and space station. Huge maps, such as Rockets base. Excellent gravitation simulation, makes Jockeies and Hunters hard to attack, it's funny. CONS Textures of entironment are simple, but the hardware load is high. Road is hard to find, always getting lost or wasting time in unnecessary buildings. Lack of first aid, ammo, molotov and bile, especially melee weapons. Got stuck in trash boxes for several times. Anyway, it's a good map but not great. The last 2 scenes is worth playing, the formers are wasting of time. If you are busy, just start from rocket base.

ZOMBIES IN SPACE!!!
pros -long campaign -interesting scenario -SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!!!! (lol) -awesome outro cons -houses aren't that well designed -neighborhoods are kind of confusing and a little repetitive (in my opinion at least) -not a lot of weapons, ammo and equipment (recommend keeping a melee weapon) overall, like with most of my review, i always try to see the positives of things. Despite the not so good designs of some areas, it's a pretty fun campaign, depends on the persons personal preferences.

Pros:
- Extreme large maps - Interesting Events - Good placement for supplies
Cons:
- Continous Server crashes on map 2 & 4 (Linux Dedicated/Vanilla/No other add-ons) - Part very poorly detailed - Some missing Textures (Map 3) - Some cloned houses and empty passageways
Conclusion:
This could be a really great campaign if it gets more detailed someday. The maps are large but most of the time look and feel just dull like the creator wanted to extend the time to play through it.... in a bad or incomplete way. However, if you like large maps with wide open space and like to explore maybe a little longer and don't care too much for detail i recommend you to play this. Anyone else maybe should take a look at it but shouldn't expect too much except for the brilliant events, if you ever get there and don't experience one of the many crashes that happen.

Pros:
-The Fourth Map is nice up to where you are in the launch bad and trying to get in the rocket -The finale for me was just really cool. -The map design and pathing is nice..
Cons:
...but i'd have to agree with Erdamon, the quality of the textures is really sad -The puzzle in the third map was indeed hard, again agreeing with Erdamon
Conclusion:
Overall, this is really nice, and i would reccomend playing it, if you aren't picky with texture quality, then you'd probably want to replay the campaign, and oh man, the SPACE FINALE?? We need more campaigns like that, atleast some part that includes space. The texture quality though, it's kinda bad, i'd like to see you improve in map making and more maps from you. This map has real potential

ErdamonPosted this review
Pros:
- Interesting ideas - Gives some fresh ideas - Finale happening IN SPACE - SPACE - Map design is nice...
Cons:
-...but quality of textures is just a joke - The puzzle in third map was too hard
Conclusion:
Simply: You must play it! It's really fun to play this campaign, but seriously, those textures were really, really terrible! They need some serious adjustment, but aside from that, it's really great to see that L4D2 campaigns are taking onto new level, we need more campaigns taking place in space!

Pros:
Some interesting horde events (burning buildings, generator restarts to activate lifts) Space shuttle themed for last 2 maps Interesting finale(you can bounce around and float just like in space)
Cons:
Poor detail Poor planning of routes...makes no sense why the path is as such (random ladders everywhere) Fps lag in many areas Error textures and purple missing textures in many areas...there was 1 house that was entirely purple @@
Conclusion:
I only wanted to play it once...no more than that. I deleted it after 1 playthrough.

Pros:
- Unique styled campaign from start to finish, lots of custom events (I highly doubt it's NOT custom. Big plus) - Hilarious scribbling. The witch and the Star Trek reference are gold - The second last map looked like a secondary finale, so it was like two finale in one campaign - Helluva finale. Survival and Gauntlet at the same map, with two Tanks at the last phase
Cons:
- The maps look blocky at most point - At second last map in the elevator, a witch incapped and somehow teleported a bot. The other bot somehow got itself hanging on a ledge at the middle of nowhere. The last bot randomly teleports back and forth from trying to save the downed teammates to sticking up with me. As a side note, bots clipped through the floor - The finale is kinda confusing with the UFO (which I thought was the escape pod), but I guess that's just me - Needs more weapons and health packs on the first phase of the finale - The puzzle on Crowd Control is confusing. I got a Tank for not completing it on time (no deduction, but still...)
Conclusion:
A must play, if you like different things, which I do Left 4 Dead... in space!
