Pros:
Very nice starting point (The Church) Alive NPC's in the church. Lots of detail thoughout the whole campaign. The swimming pool on map 1 was awesome, especially when you have to fight a Tank in here. Lots of nice easter eggs. A Jamon to slap zombies with! Very long maps. Funny graffiti at some places. Custom Commons skin. Spain is different graffiti in one of the toilets, 2 in one room. Indeed. Creepy atmosphere, especially on a mutated body in the first map. The campaign poster is really the best I have seen. The first saferoom you come across, there isnt anyting in there, and there is graffiti saying that some guys took everything form there. Cue their bodies lying 1 feet from the saferoom. The holy M60 that is floating before the metrostation. It's probably a glitch, but it was kinda funny. The whole feeling of carnage and despair during the campaign. Barcelona is completely in ruins, the streets are deserted and full of left cars, most of the buildings later on are damaged or are on fire. And some of the greatest places are barren and aborted, driving really the point home. That zombie arcade cabinet. The swan in the sewer and the graffiti beside it are very funny, especially when you see who's in it. (Hint: You probably know him already) The helicopter that came at the finale with Npc's in it. It felt very climatic. The second saferoom has 2 graves in it, and a huge text on the walls, but it is in Spanish.... The room before the Finale has lots of Adraline, Chainsaws, and M60's in it, gives a hint on how hard the finale is.
Cons:
NPC's dont say anything at all. The Jambon isn't a melee weapon, but i heard it opens up a easter egg later on in the campaign.... Spanish graffiti I can't read. Shame too, because it looked like they told something important.... Lackluster Crescendo events. Non-stop hordes are waaaay to hard, especially map 3 and map 4. Late Tier 2 weapons (Halfway map 3) Would have liked a Bull skin for the Tank. The Bots seem dumber than usual. Especially during events. (Nick, get this Hunter off me, you are standing 1 feet away from me, dont walk the other $"£$ way!) One car in the metro killed us all when it fell from above. First it rolled over Nick and Coach, then rolled against Ellis, and then it rolled over me. Made no sense at all. Finale is very hard, even on Normal, and the Bots seem to have a lack of good nav inside the final building. Coach teleported some how to the chopper when I got there, we escaped, Coach somehow teleported back to get crushed by a Tank. Again, WTF. Oh, and there was a Tank at the very beginning of the finale. Apperently, you can die on the rescue chopper, and the bots won't go in sometimes.
Conclusion:
In short: Warcelona is one of the better campaigns out there, but it still has some problems there and there. I would give it some extra points if those problems were solved, but it is still very, very nicely made.
