Left 4 Dead 2

Left 4 Dead 2

Timesplitters campaign
Thoughts on map
Difficulty: 1.5/5 (1 easiest, 5 hardest)
Length: ~15 minutes
Attention To Detail: 2/5 (1 no detail, 5 max detail)

^ note: This is based on a PS2 game, so the map is going to be empty regardless and that's ok.

Criticism:
  • #1 Make all stairs have an invisible part to make it a slope, commons will randomly start to climb the air due to them thinking the stairs are a wall. Common + Special pathing has a hard time going up and down

  • #2 For the hold-out event in the first level, add infected ladders to the windows to add some difficulty to the hold-out section. Since the zombies got stuck pathing on the stairs since it's not a slope. It's really easy to defend during the hold-out section.

  • #3 For the portal after the hold-out section, I'm sure you can change that into an actual teleporter, falling through the floor was a bit immersion breaking and felt out of place. It can also lead to some pretty weird results, in the video a smoker is able to grab me without being able to see him, and coach falling on-top of a witch could've ended in an unfair game result.

  • #4 Put supplies around the 2nd map for the finale to encourage players to play outside of the safe room. The safe room makes the finale super easy due to it having 2 main choke-points where commons come through. It's easy to handle tanks too since they get stuck on the tables
Additional thoughts: The map is fun, it was silly running around and just looking over some random play station game that I've never seen before. I'll post my run under here in case you want to see how we ran through the map.

p.s I am no professional map rater, I found this and I thought it would be fun to give my thoughts on a personal level and just give some random insight. Take what I say with a grain of salt :P

Chapter 2 is too small and overall the map itself is nice but too short. There is a bug when me and my friends at the portal we jump in a on chapter 1 make some of my friends stuck outside and walk below the map. Not trying to be rude but im gonna give this map a 6.9/10 (Need improve and more chapter tbh).

Thank you for the great feedback, I released an update that addresses points #2-4 but I couldn't find a stair that didn't already have a clip slope. Will continue looking.
