Campaign Description...
“The survivors find themselves on a riverbed and follow a road to the town. Then they must fight to the top of the office building where the rescue helicopter awaits.
”
One of my all time favorite maps... I remember watching the forum thread of it WIP... I remember playing the very first version of this map... And even now, it remains one of my favorites...
Also FYI... This was recorded quite a while ago... So mod discrepancies will happen with newer footage...

Final Verdict
Highly Recommended
It was good back that then... it remains great now, standing the test of time and remaining one of the best campaigns I've played...
Visuals are unique in there own way... Very much borrowing from The Passing, it is consistent and feels like the same area as you progress through the campaign... and it even gets away with having very little actual detail, but it actuallys works with the setup here...
Gameplay is also great, giving the player enough supplies to survive on any difficulty, and giving the needed supplies before events and even during... It never really felt like it was getting to hard, and the player leading combined with the minimal detailing made the intended path very clear... There are a few nav bugs, but it would be hard to find a map that did have a few of those...
The finale while I still love it... I will admit is not perfect... it is a gauntlet in close quarters with the infected always spawning ahead of you... While not inherently bad, it does have a lot of bottlenecking, so anyone without a melee is going to have a rough time in those stair wells... The supplies are rather few and far between, while there are some, it is not enough for a nigh difficulty team... How to start, how to escape, and how to progress through the office labyrinth is at least clear, so if you are fast enough, you can bypass these issues...
Overall... Still one of my favs... A great campaign that stands the test of time... and a must grab for anyone who likes custom maps...
