I Liked it
I liked it a lot, it's a really great campaign, but i didn't like the finale, and i didn't like the lack of direction, sure you can argue the fact that it makes it a little more realistic and challenging, but in video games where possibilities are literally limitless on what you have to do, or where you have to go, you need some kind of direction, especially the finale, that was very confusing and it left me with a message of rescue is here get aboard, and i didn't know where to go until i finally accidentally stumbled upon where to go. Also when i was on the finale the bots wouldn't step back into the room to activate it and continue to get to the end so i had to teleport them. other than that i wish all campaigns were as lengthy and challenging as this was when it came to having to actually search your surroundings for supplies and manage them when you actually did find them.

Pros:
-The last 3 maps had a neat art direction -The right amount of infected -Supply crates are a cool concept
Cons:
-EXTREMELY Long, like to a point where it's just obnoxious -Very large maps and lots of water DO NOT GO TOGETHER! -It's confusing where to go most of the time -Confusing finale -You say the campaign itself is difficult, but all we really found difficult was the finale after you finish surviving. -The art style is very very bland on most maps
Conclusion:
This campaign was looking good, especially with the supply crates. However, every time we went to a new chapter I kept noticing a pattern of walking enormous distances through water, which is quite boring and repetitive. I really can't stand campaigns where the maps are huge and its just nothing but walking, walking, and more walking with barely any infected in the way. Also there wasn't much of a clear indication of what to do after the finale survival period, and even when we found out where to go, we just had two tanks shoved in our faces.

Pros:
Excellent! Very good press this work. I even thought I was playing Half Life 2. Light campaign without lags. Perfect graphs. A perfect replica of Half Life 2.
Cons:
Nothing to contradict!
Conclusion:
I spent over 3 hours playing every new game and explored every corner of this whole campaign. Items such as weapons and health although they seem to be few are scattered all maps, causing them to explore the most of it. Just a tiny detail though without disparaging all this wonder is the lack of first aid at some points even in the absence of them could then have defibrillators, but it ended up leaving the game even more challenging. Congratulations!

Pros:
– A HL2 map/campaign; – HL2 tex pack; – Puzzles; – An inspiration to more hl2 maps =D
Cons:
– Too much water + 7 maps = boring; – Water + only melee or pistols (most of the time) + 4h campaign = frustrating;
Conclusion:
This is not fun. Not even close. There are very good places and ideas, as in HL2, but not well planned. Facing a tank with 10 shells in you tier 1 shotgun.... is frustrating. Walk long distances through sh...water and zombies... is boring. If you like HL2 campaigns for L4D2, as me, try this one. But have in mind that you will spend 3 to 4h on this... high level of stress and lack ammo. And if you plan playing with bots, they can get stuck unable to help you in many places.

Pros:
- Very fun - Different - Encourages you to look around, lots of items in crates - Very long (about 3-4 hours) - Most of the water can be avoided
Cons:
- Tons of water - The finale is very difficult (we usually play Advanced and finally beat it on Easy, though we might have managed on Normal with a little luck)
Conclusion:
Fun map, just be sure to have a lot of time or break it into a few nights. PS: BE SURE TO DOWNLOAD THE TEXTURE PACK!

Pros:
-Long campaign as the half-life 2. -Awesome textures. -Citizen, Rebel, medic and metrocop dead.
Cons:
-Too much water = too slowly. -Very few weapons at each location.
Conclusion:
I was always a big fan of Half-Life 2 and I'm impressed you were campaigning how are you, hope you corrigas my cons and hope for the next chapter: Ravenholm.

Pros:
Scenery was excellent, especially the part with the sunset Nice water reflections Indoor areas (tunnels) were very well done Outdoor areas were beautiful Lots of custom models Optimized well Layout was easy to defend from; open enough areas to pick off zombies from afar, but enough walls to back up against Not many bugs Bot nav was great Lots of supplies to compensate for length
Cons:
Excessively long Textures were sometimes repetitive Areas started to look all the same after the 4th or 5th chapter Easy Couldn't do speed runs because of water Got lost in a few areas Not enough health packs in finale Finale was a bit tricky to get out of
Conclusion:
This map is ridiculously long at 9 chapters, but is easy enough in gameplay to enjoy it until the end; it's balanced well, and is quite enjoyable as an end result. It's a very finished and thought out map, with few bugs, great layout, and lots of gorgeous scenery to keep attention. Great map, if you can sit through it to the end.
