Pretty much the rest of this season was recorded all on the same day... this being the last one I played... so I am going to blame fatigue on any performance issues I made during this play through... don't give me that look... it is the only excuse I can think of...
Pros
+ Well deisgn
+ Well made in all other non-design department
+ Completely unique and clever events
+ Unique finale
+ Dynamic pathing
+ DYNAMIC EVENTS AND ESCAPE VEHICLES (see conclusion for explanation)
+ Great cinema
+ Good voice acting
Cons
- Just like Yama was a tad on the easy side... Back to School was a tad on the hard side
Final Verdict
100/100
I can't give you an exact date as to when this project was started... mainly because I am too lazy to do the research at the moment... but back in L4D1... Death Abroad showed me the custom community... while this was the map that got me started in mapping... and it definitely delivered more than what I would have expected from it...
There was truly not one thing I can seriously rat on... everything was well made in terms of both aesthesis and game balance... and it even managed to make many unique events that didn't feel like a last minute after thought... and the finale was fantastic...
Now for the dynamic element of the campaign... it was even better than I thought... I have played this through at least six times before the day of recording... and that newspaper-burning sequence was the first time I have seen it... I also notice the route changed quite a few times form the other times I have played... There are much dynamic elements... and I must say it impresses me that they did this too... and the finale's chance of having two endings... As far as I know this is the first time it has ever happened... the only thing that comes close is Dark Carnivals helicopter switching sides...
And because I can't just ignore the minor faults it has... The map does have a tendency to be on the difficult side... and with all the detail... it is taxing at times... other than that I can't think of any other complaints...
