One 4 Nine is a great map for artificially inflating your First Aid Kits/Pills/Adrenaline-Used stats.

It features a lot of interesting and well-made areas, cool ideas, and long levels.

It has lots and lots of Crescendos and Moderate/Hard Gauntlets throughout (too many to individually list).

It also has a couple of surprises in some area, such as extra Tanks (though these areas also have plenty of Molotovs, Gas Cans, Explosive Barrels, and mounted guns to help you deal with them).

However, One 4 Nine waters down the added difficulty from its lengthy levels, frequent horde events, and extra Tanks, by absolutely spattering the map with First Aid Kits, Defibrillators, Pain Pills/Adrenaline, explosives of every type, ammo, and weapons.

One 4 Nine is so generous on supplies, in fact, that even on Expert, it’s difficult to be on low Health for long, and skilled players will quickly get bored and start messing around and/or trolling due to the perceived lack of challenge provided by the map.

One 4 Nine’s Finale is also notably extremely annoying, as a result of the presence of bright and trippy monochromatic filters that it overlays on everyone’s screen, which periodically alternate between monochromatic white-and-black, sepia, and duochromatic red-and-green.

Besides the very distracting and obnoxious colour filters, One 4 Nine’s Finale is a relatively difficult Defend-Tank-Defend-Double Tank in a small area.

The twist of One 4 Nine’s story was interesting and iconic, but nothing mind-blowing or unforeseeable.

Ultimately, I would have rated One 4 Nine higher if it did a better job of balancing its added difficulty with a more reasonable and reduced amount of supplies. Because currently, the campaign becomes a bit of a joke as a result of its omnipresent Health Kits, Defibs, etc.
