Pros:

*Everything

Cons:

*Nothing

Conclusion:

Everything is perfect about this map, the pacing of weapons, heath, etc. ; the spawn times, horde events including lengths, the custom weapons, the custom tanks, and custom scenery. Absolutely perfect in every way, I can't think of any thing that would make this better.

Pros:

*Overall level design and aesthetic
*Perfect  pacing of weapons, pills, bombs, etc.
*Good witch and tank placements 
*Great finale with interesting set-up
*Rescue vehicle

Cons:

*A bit too dark at times 
*Occasional overkill on environmental effects

Conclusion:

A really solid map with no real negative besides the nit-piking of it being a bit too dark for the whole map. Maybe an alternative would be to have some levels darker than others? But again that's just nit-piking and doesn't mitigate the overall experience. This is a must download! 

Pros:

*Epic feel - most survival maps you just sort of well survive, but this you sorta feel like you are actually serving a bigger purpose as well
*Lots of weapons, which is a must
*Good balance on spawns and everything
*Added help from 3 of the 4 L4D1 survivors 
*Custom sounds and music 

Cons:

*While the music definitely adds to the "Epic" feel of the map, it is a bit on the loud side. It would maybe be better to have it loud in the beginning and then tone it down later. I'm not sure if that's possible. 

Conclusion:

Adding a new spin from a older map makes this one of the more enjoyable survival maps out there. Well Done! 

Pros:

*Custom Everything - weapons, traps, items, voice overs, visuals, anything you can think of its in here
*2nd level is awesome and could be almost a stand alone campaign 

Cons:

*Way too many weapons, throwables, health-kits
*A non-challenging finale 
*Uneventful first level 

Conclusion:

The author of this map is obviously very talented. Some of the traps and set pieces on some of the levels were just amazing. However, the end result for some reason made it feel a little unsatisfied. The best way to describe this is like watching a Michael Bay film; sparing no expense for special effects, explosions, scenery, etc., but the overall feel of this wasn't as satisfying as simpler maps. There were way too many guns, ammo, throwables, kits, pills, etc. I never felt like I was trying to survive but trying to waste all the stuff. This was playing with all real people so everyone I was playing with was also trying use as much stuff.  It makes sense that there is so much ammo since it's at a military complex, but doesn't excuse the fact it just wasn't challenging at all. I would like to try future maps from this author, but hopefully toned down a bit. 

Pros:

* No Bugs
* Good spacing of weapons of ammo, bombs, etc
* Well timed horde events

Cons:

* Super loud weather effects
* Escape vehicle moves unusually slow
* For some reason it seemed like there were endless jockeys

Conclusion:

Okay, yes it's too dark.  I know pro-players will have no problem with it but the first level is just too dark and some of the other parts as well;  It's close to crossing the line from fun to annoying.  Overall, I have no idea what this place is suppose to be or where. At one point you're in a sewer, then in airport, and then in some sort of stadium or training facility. It's a well made map as far as being bugged free and I realize it's no easy task, but it's just not that fun.

Pros:

* Huge levels
* Traps
* Mazes
* lots of possible death falls
* interesting gas can reward system

Cons:

* None

Conclusion:

This is a great campaign, lots of traps and interesting crescendo events. Never really a dull moment and you will never really feel like you're safe. It's rare to find a map that has so many tricks up it's sleeve and not feel punishing. It's no walk in the park, but I never felt like the campaign was just being mean for the sake of being mean like other custom maps I've played. This is slightly reminiscent to the movie "The Cube" which is a good thing. Valve should get on board and sponsor this immediately. This is a must download! 

Pros:

* custom effects, environment 
* pacing of special infected and placements of tanks

Cons:

* Way too hard - with bots or real people
* Too big 
* Too many weapons, bombs, and not enough bad  
    guys to use it on
* Sometimes it can be confusing on what you are suppose  
    to do to get to the next point
* Special Infected often will get stuck in walls or elevators
* Electrified Floor is a game ender

Conclusion:

I understand that creator of this map put a lot of work into paying respects to Metal Gear, but unfortunately this map is more work than it is fun.

Pros:

* Atmosphere - including custom paintings, sounds,  
   visuals, and interactive environments
* Pacing of special infected, tanks, witches
* Weapon placement, I always prefer maps that make 
   you manage your ammunition supply
* overall map length - each level is long enough to justify   
   the 3 map campaign 

Cons:

* A bit overboard on the end finale with common infected, 
   I like the endless horde up to a point.  If there we just 
   a couple of breaks in-between waves it would make it a   
   little less stressful and little more fun
* one small bug - you can stuck on a ladder on the third  
   level

Conclusion:

Overall a very fun campaign map; would be a little too difficult to play a versus, but I don't believe that was the creator's intent.  Highly recommend playing this with some friends and going through each level at a slow pace so you can enjoy all eye candy. 

Pros:

- Superior level design, doesn't feel like it was just made with textures found on the editior.
- Custom audio, and it's actually good!
- Love the Tank in a bottle!
- Overall just good atmosphere (no pun intended)

Cons:

The Cons listed are what I observed in my first go at the level and I understand this is not 100% yet so it didn't really didn't effect my final scoring. 

- Survival is a bit easy, I was able to get 12 minutes on first try by myself, the gun room seems like an obvious place to hold out, lots of guns and only two points for the infected to get you

- Tanks would get caught on certain spots, like railings

Conclusion:

Love the map, hope it wins! The level feels like a cross between the spaceship from "Ailen" and the ship from "Space Odyessey". Very clean, nicely detailed without going overboard. I would like to see this author make a camp (i know easier said than done). Keep up the good work!

Pros:

- 3 Immersive Levels
- No bugs for me (except the oonly 1 listed in Cons)
- Items & Weapons seemed well placed
- Every event seemed well thought out
- Multiple Witches, located in interesting locations
- Overall superior design 

Cons:

With the exception that my friends and I also were blown off the helipad area by some strange force at the finale thus never actually completing the level; there are not real complaints with this map. The only things I would say would maybe prevent some replay value is that the majority of the time is spent indoors in tight corners. I know that is more or less the point of the map, however it can get a bit claustrophic and would make things a little limited for the special infected in versus mode.

Conclusion:

Overall one of the better custom maps made for L4D2. The length is just right for a custom map. This map is not pretenious or overally simple. It's a good solid map that was not only made with skill but more importantly forethought. 

Pros:

- Lots of rooms to explore
- Variety of weapons - (didn't see a magnum though)
- Multiple Witches
- Multple Panic Events in a level
- Subtle but believable voice acting

Cons:

- A bit confusing on some events, in paticular the train event, your lead you are going to be saved by a train (which if you want to see a train in L4D play "Cit 17") however after the event is over you don't actually see the train crash but you do see the wreckage so I wasn't sure if we were suppose to wait to move on.

- Second stage isn't fun at all. Mostly because of the constant mobs of zombies that come at you for no reason. 

- Two tanks at 2nd wave of finale is a bit overkill, but that's probably just me

- Overall just too long and big. 

Conclusion:

Bigger isn't always better as you will notice in this level. There are plenty high points with a variety of events in each level. The 2nd level is a bit of unfun situation, the streets are too wide open and too much space and too many random mobs of zombies. I like this map but I don't love it.

Pros:

- Clean and Unpretenious
- Bug Free

Cons:

- Lack of variety of weapons
- Bigger than it needs to be

Conclusion:

Obviously a test map by the author and most likely not intended for serious gameplay. This would be a great map for someone that has never played survival before to play because of the very one-dimensional design. 

Pros:

Overall pretty big map
Nice detail, it really feels like some sort of winter resort 
Lots of weapons, bombs, health kits, etc.
Plenty of areas to set up camp

Cons:

Close to too many weapons and ammo piles makes it a bit easier than most other survival maps

Some very obvious camp areas are better than others

Conclusion:

Overall really good. I haven't played it on scavenge yet and I probably wont because none of my friends like custom maps for the most part, however survival was a lot of fun. It bit too easy in some regards I was able to get 6 minutes on my 2nd try by myself and I know if I had friends with me it would have gone past 15-20 minute mark no problem because the dock area with ammo pile seem like the obvious choice to stake out. If you just took out a small amount of weapons and ammo piles it would be a bit more challenging, but thats just nitpicking. Overall really good job and very possible winner of winter contenst!

Pros:

Pretty Scenery and Design
Survival mode starts like a scavenge which is a cool change of pace, prevents the "lets stockpile all the crap" before the event thinking, making more survival like 

Cons:

No Tier 2? 
No bombs that I could fine
if you play with bots it seems that the infected go after them first, it took over 4 minutes for me to take my first hit of damage, might just be a random fluke
Why it's pretty there really isn't a lot of place to go it seems

Conclusion:

Overall pretty fun even though a bit one-dimenisonal - I think the creator has real props just put a little more flair into the next map and it would be awesome. No Bugs that I found. 

Pros:

Lots of Zombies, a lot

Lots of Witches

Lots of Good Boomer Spots

Good Amount of twists and turns so it doesn't feel like a simple point A to B map.
 
Finale is similar to No Mercy  but  bigger

I like the spacing of health kits, bombs, etc. Some custom maps have too much stuff but this one will make you pace yourself a bit

New Audio bits including a creepy Silent Hillish type song on the 3rd map is a nice touch.

I like the song references on the wall.

Cons:

The 2nd map's event feels a bit off, I don't quite understand why every 3 minutes or so another panic event happens. 

If you play with bots they get really really stupid on the finale leaving you far behind if you decide you want to go a differnt point, but I'm not sure there is anything that can be done about that. 

A bit heavy on the hunting rifles and I guess the lack of auto shottys is because it's suppose to be miltary like? 

Conclusion:

Fort Noesis delivers the goods; it feels like you arrived at a military outpost a few days too late.  I prefer quality over quanity and this map has it for sure. I belive the 5 levels in a camp is overdone, pretenious,  and simply too long for the casual gamer. So this is a breath a fresh air.  I can't really believe this is a beta version since its  already feels so polished. Just a couple small fixes (by couple I really mean like 1 or 2) and this truly feels like a Valve made map. It's not just bunch of random crap thrown together.  Please make this for L4D2, no one plays L4D1 and this would be an awesome versus map. 

Pros:

Feels like Silent Hill
Awesome Fog 
Great Music
Ambience as a whole is great

Cons:

Feels like Silent Hill
Very hard finding saferooms especially if you haven't played Silent Hill before
Lack of guns
Very easy to get lost but that's kinda what the games are like though

Conclusion:

I like it but couldn't get passed the 2nd level. I understand the puzzle and I compelted most of the puzzles but couldn't find the saferoom. I've played almost every Silent Hill before except the first one so I was at a big disadvatage here but overall very well done. I do like the puzzle hunting aspect. Too bad Valve can't be this creative in making maps. All they know is point A to point B in mapmaking.
