Roon's Dark Wood (Extended) Review
First of all, you may remember my past review. This time I've tested with Left 4 Bots and some cvars from Competitive-Bots+(Without infected tweaks), and with Game Instructor turned on.

Maybe around 2020 I reviewed this map and I rated this as worst campaign (I couldn't even complete this campaign at that date). However, there is many bot improvement scripts and I decided to play and review this campaign again, as of Nov 2, 2021.

The main problems of this campaigns:
- There is still problem that maps are so long, and there is some confusion for each chapter's design. So, many attempts are required to complete this campaign especially if you are new to this campaign or haven't played this campaign for long time. According to FAQ, map author says it is intended so I will not go deeper with this problem.

- There is the bug which you fall and die after going chapter 4 and spawn point needs to be fixed.

However each chapter's details are awesome and well optimized. I loved the cave, secret labs, and sewers and dark atmosphere of this campaign.

Maybe I will rate this as 3/5 (It was 2/10 in the past review but you could say the rating has been increased).

If you want more challenging experience, this map is right for you, Just like title "For Super Players".

Actually the error in chapter 4 is due to a script that you are using, I saw recent gameplays of this campaign and in chapter 3 a cinematic occurs where the laboratory explodes and the elevator goes up, and there is precisely a script that prevents this, which What the cinematic does is to fix the spawn point inside the elevator and since there is a script that prevents it, it causes this error, the recent videos do not have this error.
