Solid Campaign, with plenty of unique elements.

Not sure what's up with the overly negative comments and reviews. This campaign isn't half as bad as some make it out to be. Not perfect. But absolutely above average.


Pros:
-Unique environments and overall great atmosphere.
-Sufficient supplies, spread out nicely.
-Difficulty feels just right.
-Good directions and mostly great level design.
-A couple of unique events.
-No Performance issues since the last update. @bazrael I also have a gtx 970 and it runs absolutely fine. Besides, the CPU is most likely the bottleneck in l4d anyway. 
Regardless, no issues in any chapter on my end in terms of fps.


Cons:
-3rd chapter is a little too dark at times and can be frustrating with the many car alarms. Also, some props make little sense, for example the bumper cars. Which are alarmed btw. lmao 
-3rd chapter saferoom could use a couple supplies. At least an ammo pile would be nice.
-The finale is long and tedious. You have to run around a lot because of the spread out objectives. I get that runways are supposed to be huge, but in terms of gameplay it's mostly just annoying.
-The finale has a weird bug which prevents bot survivors from respawning, should you not make it on the first try. Rescue closets don't help on realism either unfortunately . 


Conclusion:
Overall definately worth a playthrough. The lack of melees is a positive aspect to me, or rather I haven't noticed it. I play all maps with a no melees config because I feel like commons are otherwise a joke. I think it's great someone decided to leave them out of a campaign. Be it by an accident or on purpose.
Big thanks to the author for making this. It's a fun map a deserves some recognition.

Great fix.

Works nicely.

Thank you!

Good fun, solid campaign.

Pros:
+great visuals
+alright optimization (overall)
+easter eggs
+nice environments. Some of them very unique.

Cons:
-finale can be a little frustrating with unorganized players. Lot's of props to get stuck on. Plays a little clunky.
-easy. Like...goddamn it's really freaking easy (except the finale perhaps. Which is more frustrating than hard honestly)
-Hilariously oversupplied. I mean, come on...the amount of throwalbles and healing items is just off the charts. Some 5 map campaigns have less healing items than there are in the first chapter of Day Break. 

Conclusion:
Great campaign. One can see the immense amount of work there has been put into it. It plays nicely with a good pacing. But I can't give it 5 stars because it's simply too oversupplied. I like to have at least a bit of a challenge playing l4d and this doesn't provide it. At all.

Nonetheless I recommend everyone to play it. Definately one of the better campaigns that were made.

Much needet update made this a must have

Well, played through it a couple of times after the update.

Pros:
+ Unique ambience and atmosphere
+ Great level design, that is highly different to the usual "stuff"
+ Exceptionally well balanced in terms of supplies and overall difficulty
+ Lengthy campaign, with a great gameplay pacing
+ Big open areas that somehow are still fun to play through. Not many campaigns (if any) can do it so well.
+ Occasional survivor dialogue
+ Cool easter eggs and suprises
+ Visuals: Custom textures, sounds, assets, etc.

Cons:
- 4th chapter, last event before the saferoom with car alarm. Personally I don't mind it, but this chapter is rather difficult as is and punishing wounded survivors at the end like that, with an endless horde that needs to be ran through is unnecesary. It's either you have a green dude #yolo'ing or it's GG. Restarting at this point feels unfair. I'd at least consider to make the spawning horde non-endless.
- While the update did wonders, the campaign still performes badly at times. Especially the 2nd chapter gate event and the 4th chapter castle event are still bad and cause high ping spikes amongst all players. 
- Still occasional fps drops here and there, albeit rather minor. 

Conclusion:
This campaign is finally playable on a regular basis. Prior to the update, the fps drops and extreme lag spikes just killed the fun for me.
But now it's great. While there are still issues in certain spots, there are not as many and they became less noticeable.

Before somebody comes with the usual responses: No, it is not my system. i7 3770k@4,6 ghz & gtx980 can't have problems with this game. The unoptimized parts are simply more noticeable to me since I use 144hz monitor. Dropping down to 90 or even 70 fps at times just kills the mood, thus my rather explicit complaints in regards to the performance. I get that the amazing visuals and the engine limitation takes it's toll, but nonetheless...

Anyway, this campaign is amazing and I highly recommend to try it out.

Thanks a lot for making it, mr. hypnocyst. I am sure the small community still left playing is appreciating your effort immensely.

A true must have!

Somehow didn't review this, despite using is for a long time now.
Amazing work.
