Map by: smasher248

The Basics: After the events of Kino Der Toten, scientists came across the old, abandoned theater years later to research the hidden secrets inside it. What they didn't realize was that there was an evil lurking inside that building...An evil that had almost been forgotten...Element 115. Days after their initial arrival, all of the scientists were dead, turned into zombies. A group of courageous men are sent in to secure the laboratory and kill the undead. 

Pros: This map looks GREAT. I was so excited when it was released, because I was looking forward to a cool Kino remake, something that we haven't seen in a while. I got what I wished. The level of detail was amazing, and it really gave you the feel of being alone in a laboratory overwhelmed by zombies. The guns felt smooth, and I especially like the G36C, the gun that replaced the MP40 in this map. There were the traditional perks, plus BO perks which was nice, and Electric Cherry, although I would have liked to have seen some more BO 2 perks. Furthermore, the intro with the helicopter was really cool and very well done.

Cons: Although I really enjoyed the map, I feel there are a few things it is lacking. I know a lot of people will disagree with this, but personally, I wasn't crazy about the sunset. It made the map an odd color which I didn't like at all. Also, the inside of the mystery box was all the same color, and was not very detailed. I thought that it could use a little more detail. The addition of Electric Cherry was nice, but I thought that maybe some more BO 2 perks could have been added to spice up the map just a tad bit more. The last thing, is the Pentagon Thief. I hated him in Five, and I hated him even more in this map. In Five he works with map in a good way by giving the player more time to kill him and teleporting to different areas of the map. In this map however, he just runs a circle around the map and then jumps into the teleporter, not really giving the player enough time to kill him. I just felt as though he wasn't necessary in this map, and another boss would have been better.

Conclusion: Overall, a REALLY good map. I really enjoyed it, and even though the Pentagon Thief didn't fit in with the map, the detail and the feel of the map was great. Like I said, I didn't really like the sunset, but it wasn't something that greatly altered the maps appearance.

good review mate.

There was absolutely no need to quote the whole review just to say "good review mate". Can you please refrain from quoting the entire OP just to reply with something so short in future please? Thank you.

It won't let me edit hence the reason why I just quoted you instead. If I could have I would have just edited it and left it at that but it gives me an error so thought it was best to just mention it to you instead.
