[#1] Rusty Review - Freezing Point
I am currently playing this map as I write this review, so I can be accurate as possible.


Chapter One - BELOW ZERO

The custom wall writings in the cabin saferoom is good detail, and the mechanics like breaking the wall with an axe, and finding the lockpicking tools, which to my surprise was easier then I thought, and wasn't frustrating.

My main issue was the AI was a big buggy, I saw special infected in an idle animation sliding down the manor's wall, and at the final stretch to the safe room the bots I am playing with kept running back and forth down the alley way, even when I was stood in the safe room, another issue was the map was very short, only taking me about 3 minutes to fully complete on a retry.


Chapter Two - OLD MANSION

This map was alright but not perfect, it looks good, and the starting safe room was very funny, I like the sketch of the charger. The mansion interior also looks nice, and I once again found myself laughing at the wall writing, and was caught off guard by the.. measuring one.

Some cons were that I didn't feel the generators being lit up wasn't a good choice, as It took away the need to explore the area. I also had some issues with the lighting in the flooded basement, which started to hurt my eyes after I had to fight a horde, which was also an issue as it seemed every boomer and smoke kept catching me, as the map is very tightly pact, so a shotgun was the only gun I would use.

It was a very short map, but did take me an enjoyable 20 minutes to finish and wasn't too hard.


Chapter Three - SECRET LAB

Keeping this short, same issues as the second map, its narrow and small, and kept getting me boomed and smoked the tank attack was fun and provided a good challenge and exploring the lab was very cool.
The wall text, again, was very funny.


Chapter Final - GAUNTLET FINALE

I followed your twitter, the wall text was funny, yet again, the run to the end was a very well made mad dash for the exit, and I don't really have any cons besides the fact it was a little easy, but that's a common with campaign endings.

I need to mention the stupid robot AI voice, it was AMAZING, I was playing as Francis and it was amazing, I loudly laughed multiple times and It has stuck itself in my mind, and has single handedly made this map in my personal top ten! :cure:


Final Thoughts

This map come across to me like a passion project, being made over a year, I cannot help but enjoy it greatly, and although I have been critical in my points, its good to keep in mind its easier to note down negatives then positives, but overall, the map IS very good, and I had fun throughout, and it even made me laugh outloud at times.

Thanks for the review! I'm sorry you had issues with the Survivor bots, the A.I. gets a little busted after a death reset and I guess for some people it affects a first try as well. Glad you still enjoyed it though.

Just in case anyone comes to this review in the future, the A.I. glitches should be fixed now!
