  • Pros:

    - Played extremely well with friends
    - Excellent exterior, fits the "under construction" theme of the mall (I can't stress this one enough--you did an amazing job here)
    - In general, great detail on the outer perimeter (streets etc.)
    - Great distribution of interiors, the Care Clinic is awesome
    - Great clip job, couldn't find any map exploits
    - Loved the new models
    - Attention to detail with a "local story" i.e. the pile of bodies behind the fence
    - Funny story (Ellis, c'mon!)

    Cons:

    - Could texture the high mall rooftops and add ladders for great Hunter pounces or rocket Boomers
    - Nav mesh for the cars in general only have a back and front connection for Commons to get up, and for many of these the backside one isn't connected--Commons do stumble around trying to find the front of cars
    - Beginning env_instructor_hints for subtitles seemed out of place, but dialog choices were good
    - Even though harmless, the reuse of the "JUST FOR KIDZ" sign isn't architecturally relative to the spot in the mall you actually visit the store--I'd recommend using a model players have seen less of
    - Doors along the warehouse side and inside Care Clinic are prop_door_rotating--change these to prop_static and visually barricade them to prevent players from trying to open them and wasting their time
    - It is a small area and it's less necessary, but could use some optimization with portals and fades because everything rendered for me at all times (mat_wireframe 1)
    - With exception of the tent with the pile of bodies, the green fence along most of the perimeter blocks Survivor visibility to the detailed perimeter along the streets with cars, signs, gateway, and police barricade, especially at the warehouse side--if left as is remove a bunch of those cars keeping only the ones potentially visible by Survivors, or preferably make some fences see-through (also optimizing where needed)

    Conclusion:

    Overall I think this is a fantastic map with the right look and attention to detail, its story feels canon and everything--besides a few little nitpicking things--is Valvesque.
