This campaign is still a work in progress, I have all of the parts playable but some bugs still have to be worked out. The maps need to be play tested a little more as well. Just ignore the nav map error message, the boards will still be playable

I really liked this campaign. There are the obvious glitches and I didn't finish it because it crashed during map 5.

I would greatly appreciate this campaign being completed!

Nice work!

Blue Baron,

I appreciate your work with this campaign but there are simply some severe problems which don't make me play it again:

- a lot of violet brick textures
- map 1 and 4 navig. error message at the beginning
- solid fences which you can pass through
- too many streets with the same structures

From my view: If you fix these things I'll surely start the campaign again.

Right off, I didn't finish this campaign. I will later but after a crash. I feel the need to take a break so I'll leave you the data that I have gathered so far. I really enjoyed the open-ended and non-linear style. I am an explorer and when I find all sorts of rooms an tunnels off the beaten path, I am going to look inside.

I did like that I didn't find a bunch of scripted hordes, that can be OK but so many people over use that feature to the point of a grind. What I don't like, lots of missing textures. That's found in most WIP's but if you make a full series of maps it would be best to at least finish the textures in a couple.

Many of the special infected spawned in places where they were ineffective. Regardless of difficulty they should at lease post some threat. On the second map many common infected spawned behind the metal gates, they are easy to kill quickly that way. I disliked the poison gas down, to me I didn't understand the point of it being on every level of that damned building.

Also, the holes in the floor where more annoying than a challenge. I think a feature like that may piss more people off than it's worth. The event on that map was a nice idea but the common infected were often stuck in the train car. Even the tank fell off in front of the engine and was glitched inside of it the entire event!

Third map, the events were very easy. The spawn points for the infected would allow for players to just outrun the common. I camped the first of the events in the corner of the metal borders in the parking lot. All the infected ran virtually in line to us. Looked sort of like a average day at the DMV.

Overall, I enjoyed the map and can't wait till I see more.
