  • Pros:

    Creative ideas with heaps and heaps and heaps of engaging details (e.g. the old brit cars, bathroom mat, phone box adverts and Dead Snow - 10/10!!
    Plenty of zombies
    Weretanks! And Trevor!
    New melee weapons.
    The TV broadcast
    Accurate moorland and building modeling
    Evocative lighting and atmospherics
    Brilliant campaign ending finale
    Very good bot behavior (mostly)
    Flawless download and installation - plug and play
    Potentially right up there with Blood Tracks, I Hate Mountains and Dead Vacation as top-shelf aftermarket campaigns that match or beat Valve's originals.
    Excellent music.
    Loved the new voice talents!
    Broken bottle melee weapon - classic UK.

    Cons:

    Game crashed every time at the end of each map and once partway thru Map 2.
    Bot refused to enter the elevator but went back down the acid house building.
    (Other camps run fine on my gear, these problems have to be campaign specific.)
    Uses the L4D2 characters instead of the Real McCoy's of L4D - that's just me tho! :P
    

    Conclusion:

    A highly attractive campaign that (perhaps) needs some tweaking to run right.  
    Map 4 (the underground mine sequence) felt unfinished and lacked creativity compared to the other maps and the sections bookending it.
    8.5 rating for the above factors.
    All in all a darn fine effort that with some technical polish would be an easy contender for one of the Top 10 aftermarket campaigns.  Bravo!
