Guys, congratulations. IHateMountains is one of the (if not THE) best campaings made for L4D1 (out-of-the-box-shitty-valve-campaings included). It has a darker setting, have a great realistic feel, VERY detailed, lots of multiple paths... everything that I love on a good FPS.

Map 1 - Great beginning with an original feel to it, very imerssive, with the correct lenght, not too hard, a nice, smooth introduction to the general campaing setting, good coop gameplay. 9/10

Map 2 - There is a very good (albeit short) gameplay progression on this map up to the top of the manor, and the atmosphere is fantastic. The crescendo is a bit confusing at first (especially because the radio message isn't that clear) but the concept is excellent. 9/10

Map 3 - By far my favorite! Maze like, huge, dark, claustrophobic, lots of Tanks, I love it! But I feel it's not as hard as it deserve to be (yeah, on Expert). It's easy to hold hordes on the narrow corridors or on the side rooms and the SI particularly have a bad time trying to do something on our group, although this changes a bit for the better on the 2nd (caverns) part of the map. 9.5/10

Map 4 - The 2nd best map of the campaing. The whole sawmill area, I mean... it's just amazing, very, VERY well executed. I really enjoyed that particular blue container "thing", if you know what I mean... a nice surprise 9/10

Map 5 - Good finale, wich gives a fair amount of variation as to where to hold out the hordes. I feel that the MG on the balcony could go away tough (a.k.a. Blood Harvest finale). 8.5/10

Basically I loved the whole campaing, the setting, the mood, etc... but found it to be "somewhat" easier than your average campaing on Expert, but maybe (almost sure) that's just me wanting this great campaing to be even more challenging.

Also take notice that I'am in no way criticizing ANYTHING on this campaing, because for all the dedication and effort that you guys have put on this work have earned you my respect. I just wanted to give the general thoughts I had while playing and enjoying IHateMountains.
