Pros:
*Each map presents a unique and distinguishable type of environment in terms of layout and scenery (though mostly set in an urban environment, which is also very well done aesthetically on the whole in terms of choice of texturing and what not) *All the maps are very challenging with some quite impressive hordes (at least in versus), making it a very fun and rigorous campaign to play! *Optimized very well as far as I can tell, runs perfectly on my computer, even with all the water, very impressive. *Very unique event with the fire triggering the boat to cross the bridge. Very creative. *Any bugs that I noticed in previous versions seem to have been cleared up with version 3, it works perfect, and I mean perfect from beginning to end, which is rare for a custom campaign. *A unique finale that separates itself from parish as a running event, particularly with the football player melee weapons and tanks. Navs and scoring are in order too, which is always nice to see. *Balanced very well in terms of versus spawns, ladders, etc. Never once found myself in a position where I couldn't find a spawn.
Cons:
*The custom voice audio for the train guy and the radio incom was very scratchy, I realise this was on purpose, but it seems a little overdone and just makes it sound like bad recording. But this honestly is such a small issue that I wouldn't worry too much about it. It's the only thing I could think of.
Conclusion:
Overall, this is the funnest versus campaign I've ever played yet. I simply love the amount of detail and work that has gone into this to make it just as good as a campaign, if not better than the original Valve maps. It beats cold stream to the ground in my opinion (though that's not really fair, I realize, since cold stream is still in beta, but I digress). The one con mentioned is so little an issue it's barely worth mentioning. I'm glad you fixed up the bug on map 2 with bots not picking up weapons and ammo, and I haven't had any trouble with the finale since the new version. I'm not one to give campaigns 100/100 (this is the first campaign I've rated 100), but honestly, this is as solid and perfect a map as you can get. It even has scavenge and survival! I've got a lot of people I know to download it, so we're going to be playing it a lot! Brilliant job! I sincerely hope Valve picks up on this.
