Oldie but still a goodie
For a map made over 9 years ago, one should temper their expectations when it comes to level design and overall "feel" of the map. Difficulty is easy with the panic events being your typical hordes of zombies. Armed with a katana and an AK-47, it was easy to go through the hordes. The finale reminded me of Among Us, where I had to accomplish tasks in order for us to complete the level. Overall good map, but there are better (and newer) campaigns out there.

the best map i ever played
this map was fun and I enjoy every part of it. there were a few times I wasn't sure what to do or where to go but the good heavily outweighs the bad. I give this a 5 out of 5 stars while this map has a few flaws every good thing about it makes up for this. Recommended Difficulty: normal/advance. play with friends or by yourself

Dark, plain, empty
Panic events feel very streamlined and uninspired. The ending gauntlet is somewhat nice, however, maybe it's because there's at least some action finally going on, instead of walking through repetitive spacious areas. Also, there is no indication on that you have to "use" the crates to pass the truck in the first map.

Cool and fun but under-supplied and difficult map
PROS - Beautifully designed map: Really got impressed by how nice the view of the map was, and how the appearance and atmosphere it creates - I'll never forget the last map with all the fog around after stepping out from the cable car - Cool lighting: Very nice lighting used especially on map 2 - Maps are not very short: Maps will not make you feel too short and are progressively getting harder - Interesting finale: Felt like gauntlet it's more than gauntlet CONS - Very under supplied especially map 3: Map 3 is extremely difficult 'cause of the lengthy map and the supplies are very scarce, including the ammo piles - There's one bad event in map 3 (activating gate) that caused the maximum zombies breaking maximum number spawn and making the map very lag - Lack of melee and magnum in the first 3 maps: You literally couldn't find any magnums in the first 3 maps, and only one spot of unlimited melee on map 3, other than that you only can pick up tonfa from the cops infected - Tanks often get stucked - Count on the game instructor a lot Overall is pretty fun. Completed this in expert realism with friends but restarted 10 times, most of them were in map 3 due to the extremely limited supplies and ammos, and the long length of the map. Can see how the 750 hours were spent creating a bunch of really nice views and design. Great atmosphere. The reason of it not getting more than 4 stars are mostly because of the under-supplied map and extremely difficult map 3 with the bad event (opening the gate). If this map is well-supplied, and more melee and magnum, I'd definitely consider playing it again.

Pros:
- Nice scenery - Unique environments - Interesting ending
Cons:
- Limited ammo cans - Hardly any melee weapons - Second pistol only in safe room? - Dizzying Finale - Change of atmosphere
Conclusion:
My review is pretty close to that of my fellow critics. It has its good points here and there and its still by far not the worse map I've ever played...but it does need some work. Lack of ammo dumps and melee weapons made it an undesired challenge and the finale had me confused on all the running down then all the way back up? It could have been constructed a little better on that point. But to be fair there are some parts I found rather fun such as the sunken park and safe tent zones with the sneak passage out of the bathroom. Very clever! Its a map that I do recommend people at least try once and form their own opinion.

Pros:
-Nice design -It's always clear where to go and what to do next -Good Finale -Hilarious and unexpected ending
Cons:
-There is not nearly enough supplies, especially on Map 3 -The fence event on Map 3 is ridiculously hard -A few missing textures in some areas -Ammo piles are in stupid spots, like 10 feet from the safe room, and then nowhere else on the whole map.
Conclusion:
This campaign honestly wasn't too bad, however, we were getting frustrated with the placement of supplies, as there really was not that many, I never even found a melee weapon until the finale, and map 3 had barely anything throughout the whole thing. And the first event on map 3 is very poorly designed, as there's an enormous nonstop horde, and theres no supplies other than weapons, making it pretty hard to survive. The finale was pretty good though, even with the large amount of stairs, the amount of infected make it fun.

Pros:
+ Detailed + Instructions provided + Challenging + Creative + Mountains + Awesome Finale + Love the rocket in Finale + Bots Navigation
Cons:
+ Bots fall and die in Map 2 + No Dialogue + No opening intro + Not enough supplies + Hardly any melees until Map 3
Conclusion:
Overall, this is a long route map but I am glad you gave enough directions and why no melee weapons for the first 2 maps? It's hard to fight with hordes of zombies using double pistols and if I knew that I rather play with Mutation mode instead but still is a good campaign and one last thing to point out is I love the auto escape in this game.

Pros:
Detailed Great atmosphere Fun gameplay Awesome finale Creative Mountains! Pretty cool ending cutscene
Cons:
Missing textures in some maps Fairly short Auto-escape in finale No dialogue No opening cutscene Weird looking fog It doesn't really make sense at all. You start out in a modern night-time city, then you go into a tunnel and get into a daytime mountain area? Doesn't matter that much though.
Conclusion:
In general, it's a really good campaign - Detailed, good atmosphere, proper lighting and good gameplay. Anyhow, there's no dialogue and no opening cutscene, and you're automatically teleported into the rocket when it's ready. Other than that, it's a really creative and fun campaign that's definitely worth a download.

Pros:
- Creative finale - Easy to follow - Map length - Decent amount of witches and tanks - Outside lighting, mainly in map 3 - Guiding arrows - Instructions for events - Outro
Cons:
- Pink textures in map 1 - Glitchy ladder at the beginning of map 2, bots fall down - No dialogue - Hardly any melee or magnums until the finale when it is still rare - Survivors escape and don't have to get in the rocket, it's on a time limit?
Conclusion:
Obviously a lot of effort has gone into this campaign and it shows!

Pros:
Nice detailing and enviroments Finale was fun! Many, many hordes. Decent length
Cons:
Map One Missing glow texture on the boxes in the truck to raise the back of the truck.( Took me half an hour to figure out where the heck to touch.) When you break down the door next to the " Give Blood" billlboard by the bus stop the room behind it isn't fully rendered. Theres a good chunk of it missing, and I can walk around inside it to the back of the alleys.( Not sure if this was intentional.) The non rendered areas will make you fall through and die. Missing textures on the stacks of pallets inside the building after the cresendo event.Conclusion:
Despite some minor issues I really enoyed myself. The Bot Navigation was fine. The events were fun and the amount of hordes to kill were satsifying. The finale was something new and refreshing and challenging. I enjoyed the campaign as a whole( aside from the half hour spent in map one trying to figue out what to click), no dumb bots, and it gave me a challenge. Aside from the asthetic problems mentioned in the "Cons" the only other thing that bugged me a tad was the lack of melee weapons in the campaign.( I found a golf club and a nightstick the whole campaign.) ( No points taken off.) Final Conclusion: A great map well worth the download. Keep on makin' more like this! Keep up the great work.

Pros:
-INTERESTING ENVIRONMENTS. -well balanced, not too hard, not too easy -Good Length, (Took me and 1 friend 52 minutes) -Epic Finale (SPACE!)
Cons:
-melee weapons are too scarce on the beginning levels, I had to use a nightstick until about level 3 which is my least favorite melee weapon.
Conclusion:
This is the best campaign I've played in a while. And definitely deserves an overall rating in the 9's
