Good start but needs some polishing

I have mixed feelings about this campaign On one hand I am a Stargate fan and !Really! like the overall level design. The fact that it has so many scripted events and voice-overs is really impressive and showcases how much work went into creating it. On the other hand there is so much built in trolling that it completely breaks the immersion of the campaign. I will admit I loved the portal Easter egg and some of the pop culture references however at the end o the day it all boils down to the fact that immersion needs to be maintained especially if your going for a story driven narrative campaign with a strong theme. Easter eggs and other pop references shouldn't be too obvious or out of place and there needs to be some moderation so that it fits in with the overall theme of the campaign. The only truly negative aspect of the campaign were the full screen screamer images. Aside from messing up your ability to aim, I don't really think it fits in at all unless there is some narrative explaining why they are there. Things like this are a major turnoff for some players myself included. Who knows there might be an explanation for the screamers but I will admit I didn't finish the campaign because they became too frequent and annoying. As much as I really want to love this campaign and slap on a 5 star review on it, the overall quality is being dragged down by the random screamers. (Although being a beta I am actually starting to wonder if these are just placeholders for some event that hasn't been scripted yet ?)

Pros:

Good level design
Custom Tank (werewolf) I liked this it is a nice touch that keeps with the overall theme
the campaign is a good long one that keeps you occupied for quite some time
 

Cons:

Poorly dispersed health items 

Campaign really needs more safe rooms you could split all the maps in half and have a much more segmented and playable campaign

long ? i like the long ones but this might be an issue for some people 

cave levels could use some more arrows and safe house icons on the wall otherwise you end up going in circles 

Conclusion:

I love the level designs i love the game play and i love the overall theme of the campaign. 

however the individual maps need to be split up with more safe rooms or there need to be more health items otherwise the grind makes this agonizingly difficult even on the easiest setting unless you pick your team carefully. quick matching... forget it.

but good job 

Pros:

one of my favorite campaigns well designed and challenging 

Cons:

no l4d2 port :P

Conclusion:

for gods sake man port this to l4d2 XD
