-Amazing attention to detail and the lighting is just perfect.
-Lots of things to explore
-The story tellling of back to school has always been one of the most interesting to me, it really fits in the whole zombie apocalypse thing.
-The color corrections in certain areas are very good.
-Custom tank skins <3
-the custom train at the station looks really cool.
-Lots of randomized events, which always makes me play this over and over again.
-6 maps, holy shit. I love lenghty campaigns.

Well, I'm sorry I can't be as specific as valvola. There weren't really any huge cons for me. (I'm very easily entertained.) and if there were cons, then valvola's review is alot more helpful to you than mine, I'm just here to tell how much I love this campaign.

This is truly a must-have for anyone who plays custom campaigns. This is one of the most fun and challenging campaigns for l4d2.

Also, yes, everyone should play this.

- The most graphically appealing campaign ever
- Great variety of situations
- A real cinematic experience

- Gameflow is slow paced
- Level design is uninspired on the gameplay side
- Most of the deaths are caused by unforgiving level design (example: the fight in the cinema or the chargers on the roofs)
- Most of the time you fight in small spaces, stuffed of tons of details that hinder you in any possibile way
- Comments hidden around? mmhhh....
- A lot of dead end paths (expecially at the beginning)

This campaign is a masterpiace on the visual dep. but it lacks of what is really important to me in a campaign: the subtle ability to keep you playing no matter the difficulties.

I think the author put a most of the attention in making everything pleasent to see, instead on focus on what is funny to play.

The thing that most I missed here is a balance between situations where you really struggle to survive and situations where you make your way straight. Most of the time is just a dull avarage, with no peaks and breaks.

Anyway, everyone should play this campaign. Expecially maps creators.

my all time favorite map i love this map best campaign ever hands down!!! great job

no way

of all the maps this is the best one period i love this map there is so much to brag about just wanted to let you guys know awesome!!

Fun
Long
Explorable
L4D Survivors

Got lost a lot

Fun campaign for sure. It was decently challenging, rewarded exploration(which I love btw), and I definitely appreciated seeing the original L4D cast. Unfortunately, all the different potential paths got me so incredibly lost at times, which got to be a little tiresome. Overall good work though.

Long Campaign; it really adds the concept of exploring
Different Environments

Sticks with original weapons

As the cons states, I have a long add-on list for weapons. Though this is a great campaign, it doesn't allow me to use them. It will appear for a second or two, but the regular "holding" positions will display the default weps. I would have given this a perfect 10/10, but the inability to use weapon mods bugs the hell out of me. Great campaign, just fix that issue.

The way you could interact with stuff was interesting
A long campaign

Really none

I'm giving this a 9.9 because this is a long campaign and also you could interact with some stuff and it's also better than Suicide Blitz 2 in my opinion.

- great detailing
-nice, long campaign
-perfect difficulty
-custom sounds

-in a truck scene, the truck accelerated rapidly, then stopped, almost instantly
-long finally
-glitchy AI in the sewer area

its a good campaign, but AI flaws and illogical physics leave room for improvement

-Ranges from basically every time of Left 4 Dead map possible.
-Forest
-City
-Sewers
-Rooftops
-Custom Events
-Never thought of custom events.
-Super detailed city, (I swear it felt real)
-Difficult but not to difficult
-Custom Audio
-Custom Writing
-A story of what happened in the environment around you.
-Lighting is so perfect. (Fangasm)
-Finale is so detailed with water flow.
-Survivor dialogue.
-Feels like a real 10 days later setting.

-AI has a bit of problems with the sewer area.
-Finale level is kinda long, so I suggest playing on lower difficulty.

This is by far the best campaign I think I've ever played, this thing shot far beyond Suicide Blitz 2, and I Hate Mountains. The creator treated this campaign as if it was a real event in a real city. The ammo stashes are very near each other giving the sense of feeling that it really is ten days into the end of the world where everything has yet to be looted completely.

The train station first was the major big thing for me, it showed that the world created was trying to escape the zombie infestation but was then robbed of all life because of it. Next would be the 'chaos events' in which I call them which shows of other forms of life in this world. There's a part where a truck comes blazing down the road and crashes clearing a path, and causing a blazing fire. The 2nd one would be when a building blows up sending a survivor flying through a window falling 20 stories to his death. Then there's the event with the truck driver in which you ACTUALLY ride in a vehicle while being chased by zombies, then you go and collect things for the guy to proceed. And my favorite one is where the helicopter crashes.

The 3rd level was actually my favorite, it gave a sense of freedom because of the area you could explore, even in the sewers. It allowed for new openings, with the Gun Shop, the Construction Site, and so on.

Over all it's almost the perfect campaign other than like one or two things. 9.9 for me.

*Beautiful scenery
*Amazing variety
*It's quite long
*There's something of a story
*Locations look like actual places that I can define
*Difficulty is just right, with resources and challenge well-balanced
*Survivor dialogue has them give each other instructions and respond to the environment

*AI nav issues and a number of small bugs are pretty evident
*It's a bit TOO long, clocking my run at shy under 3 hours
*I faced severe framerate loss for the majority of map two since the large train station.
*The finale map is incredibly long and tedious to repeat if you fail the finale.
*The finale is confusing and can be frustrating.

Overall, I REALLY like this campaign. It's a bit too long, sure, the last map especially, but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, even if I am very drained as I write this. It's beautiful beyond description, every location looks like a real place that I can identify at a glance. This is a police station. This is a train station. This is a construction yard. I love it! All too many campaigns fall into the trap of creating "buildings" made up of "rooms" that might as well be a Wolfenstein 3D level for all you know about them, but I learned A LOT about the world of Back to School. This is precisely what the high level of detail here is best used for.

More than that, however, I had a definitive idea of where I was at all times, where I was going and why I was going there. From the first radio broadcast I heard, the looping message was telling me to get to the stadium for evacuation. All of my efforts, then, were spent first getting TO the city, then getting INTO the city, then getting AROUND in the city, then finally finding the school and finding a way to the stadium. Sure, the campaign might not have had a specific story, but it had the kind of flow which never made me feel lost or question where I was and how I ended up there.

I feel there are a few too many panic events, but since the zombies they call eventually end, this isn't that bad. Plus, they all make sense. Gas cans spark a huge fire which naturally attracts zombies. Makes sense. I detonate a large bomb to clear a rock slide and the noise attracts zombies. Again, it makes sense. I think the only part that didn't make sense to me was the finale because... Who is this man? How does he know about the vaccine? Who's he going to sell it to? And why do we collect only enough for the four of us? Won't he want some for himself AND some to sell?

Length aside, I think my only real complaints are technical. Pathing - and I keep saying that because it's paramout - needs work and I feel the finale could stand to be revised. I definitely want to see a safe room closer to the end because doing that marathon twice if you die at the finale just isn't reasonable. But again, those are technical complaints, and technical complaints can be fixed. None of these made the game impossible to play for me, like some campaigns have, nothing was stupid or pointless or gaudy, nothing was cheap or unfair. To me, this is a campaign that I can recommend to my friends, just so long as it doesn't cause problems with being able to host local servers.
