Sorry these have been few are far between lately... not much time to do much of anything anymore... but I will continue to try and at least have a semi-regular uploading schedule...

Legion4Death v.3

Pros
+Interesting/Unique mechanics
+Zoey bot for your assistance
+Survivor dialogue and good intro
+Well made aesthetics

Cons
-Navigation issues
-Intro can slow down the action if a players dies often and fast
-Barricade mechanics gimmicky

Final Verdict
93/100

Jack of all trades... master of none...

This is a great map... don't me me wrong... it does a lot of interesting mechanics, but none of them are fully fleshed out... a couple barricades that don't actually help to much... the ability to mass produce only fire... a single AI companion...

All are interesting concepts and mechanics... and map features any of these fully realized is excellent... but instead of one Perfect system... you have several average ones...

Going Nowhere

Pros
+Nostalgia
+Fairly accurate
+Event starter... EPIC

Cons
-Supplies felt limited
-Kind of small (could have done more)
-Relies on Nostaglia

Final Verdict
91/100

What can I say... it is a map based off of the farm house in Courage the Cowardly Dog... and is fairly accurate is I recall correctly... but is still has the same problem many maps like this has...

For someone like me, who has watch all the episodes and love the show... this is great... but for someone who has never seen the show before... this is just a empty-ish farm house... I preach this every time it comes up... and I will again... if you are basing your map off of something like this... it has to be a good map regardless of its fan-service nature...

For the map itself... kind of empty, but plays and runs well... with out courage... average map...

Moon Research Lab 2023

Pros
+Moon setting
+Low gravity
+Plenty of supplies

Cons
-Small area
-Moon feeling is "incomplete"

Final Verdict
89/100

It is nice to see a space-themed map every now and then... not that common for L4D2... this is a good map... but is also not a great map (or bad map)... gameplay is average... frame-rate seemed to hiccup every now and then... but that might have just been on my end...

Not much to say... an average map with a cool theme...

Cornered

Pros
+Great aesthetics
+Big area
+Multiple radios (THANK YOU)
+Good amount of supplies

Cons
-Not many "good" holdout spots... but also encourages holdout gameplay
-Not too memorable...

Final Verdict
90/100

This is a great map... plays and well great... has multiple radios so you can decide where you want to go and not have to worry about the path there and back... there is not much bad with this map... I think... and that is the problem...

I think... I don't know... I don't know because I don't fully remember the map... despite being a good map... it is very generic... nothing really stands out... this is the same problem Downtown Dine had... it might be good, but does that matter if the player is going to immediately forget about you?...

Frost Stand

Pros
+Hold the Line gameplay (End of the Line should be a hint that I LOVE this type of survival gameplay)...
+Good aesthetics
+Great snow (same stuff used in authors previous snow map)
+Good amount of supplies

Cons
-Kind of small

Final Verdict
95/100

My favorite out of this set... just saying... :3

"Hold the Line" type of gameplays have always been my personal favorite... and it was executed very well here... small, and with a single spawn point... which creates some very hectic moments trying to survive the onslaught of SI's increasing numbers... I have little complaints here... so yeah... great map...

Love it...
