Left 4 Dead 2

Fall in Death part 1 of 2
Falling Into Insanity: "Fall in Death" - 1/10
1/10 . This is a troll map disguising itself as a promising campaign.

Without looking at the page and seeing the reviews, this campaign looked like it would be a must-install, but this campaign suffers from bugs/broken parts, unfriendly navigation, and confusing chance-based elements.

To highlight my issues with the campaign, I will only be speaking about my experience with chapter 1 and the beginning of chapter 2.



In the beginning, you are temporarily stuck and bugging out due to the broken intro. From my experience, a few things can happen: you can be greeted by a few CI running at you, a horde, or a Tank.

It doesn't get any better, because then we have the piss poor navigation to deal with. (Game Instructor was enabled.) The map layout on its own is terrible, and is worsened by the overuse of the storm, and random pathing.

The storm reduces the visibility of everything and makes it impossible to hear the Survivors' directions.

On the note of the pathing, in the intro, for example, the random pathing dictates what path you have to go down in order to progress. This can be great when done right, but this campaign fails. Due to the pathing, you'll either have to navigate a tight sewer with Witches everywhere with only T1 weapons to fend them and other infected off or try to locate a warehouse in who knows where.

These are the main problems I encountered in the first map. The problems only get worse as you go on.



To end my criticisms with a positive note, when it works, the opening cinematic is very nice, and the campaign is detailed. I can see the effort went into making it a sight to see.
