Great up until map 4.

Exceptionally good atmosphere and worldbuilding. Legit creeped me out a few times, without resorting to shitty jumpscares. Despite the overwhelming country darkness, the lighting is good enough that it's not bland. I did find it a bit odd that there were always conspicuous flares or abandoned left-on flashlights to guide your path though. ;) 

Even with the forced tanks, gameplay is fun, balance is decent, though I felt at times supplies were a tiny bit scarce - particularly in the fourth map. Features some amusing unique melee weapons and some great panic events.

I love the concept, theme and the fact that you even have a promotional website. 

I have to talk about map 4 though. The entire campaign is phenomenal, with the exception of this one level. I suppose it's some sort of easter-egg reference, but the transition is so sudden and the whole map is confusing, and a dreadfully long slog. It's not particularly scary if that was the intent, and it just doesn't lend itself to fun gameplay.

People I play with dislike the fourth map so strongly that it actually does prevent us from replaying the campaign, and for that, I can't give this a full five stars.

Stellar campaign, Valve quality.

Simply one of the best custom campaigns out there - if you have any interest in playing custom maps at all, this is one you should have.

Well thought out and executed map design, a degree of interactivity and storytelling that goes a step beyond, without becoming too much. A must have vanilla-y experience, with just enough quirks to make it memorable and unique.

Supplies are adequate, gameplay is fun and overall well balanced. Good solo with bots or with friends. Even after half a dozen playthroughs, I still come back to it.

My only minor gripe is that you spend a fair bit of time without a primary weapon in the first map, which is frankly something done to death by custom campaigns.

Classic, but does show it's age a bit.

A classic. Some of the level design, particularly the later maps is astonishing and memorable, even now. Such a unique rescue in the finale too. I kind of wish the L4D2 version kept the night time atmosphere though - I don't feel like the campaign has quite the same impact or feel set in the daytime.

Shows it's age a bit: Not as flashy or as well polished as newer maps. I remember playing an earlier version of the original in L4D1 years ago - one of the first full campaigns released.

Absolutely recommended, even being a decade old now, it's still quite good.

Barren, empty, aimless. Needs work.

Good example of how recreating real world locations doesn't translate into good gameplay. I salute your dedication to recreating these locations. But the campaign just didn't feel well fleshed out. 

Picture this: Imagine playing a whole campaign in the cordoned off areas of No Mercy or Dead Air that you can only noclip or glitch into. That's what it's like to play this campaign. Barren, empty, with low quality textures and models, save for the recreated real world buildings, which feel out of place and imported; as well as largely untouched by the zombie apocalypse.

Long, empty directionless maps, felted very disjointed at times with unnecessary forks. There are some glaring quality issues, with shortcuts taken in places it shouldn't have been. The hotel in map 1 for example: Every single hotel room entirely lacks a floor plan: No kitchens, no baths, no bedroom, no common area. Just an open room. With basically nothing in it. Copied and pasted a few times. Multiplied by the number of floors, 5 or 6...

Map 3 has a panic event in a town hall that, for some reason, enables multiple special infected to spawn. At one point, I had two smokers, a hunter, a charger and a spitter all up at the same time, and had just killed a jockey and boomer not long before. I have no mods that modify special spawn rates.

Common infected pathing is all but entirely broken in map 4. After the panic event, I kept getting hordes with incoming attack warnings in captions, but only a tiny handful of infected would ever make their way to us. Speaking of, this is by far the most egregious map - wandering and nearly perfectly aimless if it wasn't for a sparing arrow or two to point the way. There's also no ammo piles(I believe?) and no respawn rooms after the panic event, which is the longest part of the map.

The finale is easily the best map of the whole campaign. Great layout, fun to play. I'd log hours into it in Survival mode if it had more supplies. And yet, this is the only map that isn't available in Survival. This to me, is mind boggling.

Overall I'd rate this a 2/5. It feels unfinished, and very unpolished. It could be good if you worked on lighting, better textures and added more props to make the maps feel more alive and lived in. Good level making should tell you a story of what happened to the place, the people. As is now, it's just... here's a real world location. Here, have another. And another. There's no context, and no little to no indication of what happened after the start of the infection.

You should cordon off unnecessary paths (or let the director control forked paths). And add some voice lines triggers to indicate you're even going the right way/indicate directionality. Or at least more arrows. I felt so incredibly lost at times, particularly in maps 2 through 4.

No one I played it with particularly enjoyed it, and we had someone get so annoyed that they left during the second playthrough. As is, I'm uninstalling, unfortunately.
