The next great campaign. This one is another I enjoy. The Crane & The Terminal are the hardest levels in this campaign (for me).

If you are not aware, to heal quickly after a level, if you close the door then use a medkit, you will heal instantly as the level goes to the loading screen.

Things to Do:
At the beginning of The Greenhouse, just throw Pipebombs if you want to get rid of the horde quickly. Then pick up a pipe bomb. Pick a Molotov if you don't think you'll find one later to deal with a Tank. Preferably find magnum, you don't really need a melee weapon until you get to the terminal. Since you can use it defensively if you go down (which you probably will if you are playing with bots and you want to protect them at the cost of your health).

For The Crane, outside the saferoom, get rid of the infected. If you have extra medkits, it's not a big deal if people go down since you can't return for medkits once you hop the fence.
Sometimes witches spawn at the top of the ladder or sometimes a tank spawns as soon as you hop the fence too.
For the Crescendo, you want to activate it, then jump back into the building after using a pipe bomb or a boomer bile. Look into the rooms afterwards, so you can find throwables to stock up on. Alternatively, you can activate the crane, and then go into the corner on the far side of the wire fence (near the building where the fuel cans spawn).
Afterwards, this building area seems like final level difficulty. If you can get through this, you can get through level 3. You slowly through the cubicles, no point in rushing here. If a tank spawns here, run back to the outside. since it's not idea to traverse here.
You can exit the building through the back door which makes the hordes much easier to deal with.

At the beginning of the Construction Site, exit left from the saferoom. Then hop the fence. When you get the crescendo, get your weapons ready and shoot the fuel can and run back to the fence. alternatively, you could also hang out at the stairway (next to the generator where I picked up boomer bile, or you could also hang out in the spawn closet. Either way is fine.
Make your way slowly to the ammo room. If a Tank spawns, just make your way back to the beginning while you shoot him. Otherwise, once you get to the ammo room Pick up your gun. Possibly a rifle or shotgun if a Tank still hasn't spawned. Otherwise, I prefer sniper just to clear out the infected in the next areas. You can also throw your boomer bile if you want to get through this spot faster, but I wouldn't recommend it since a bile makes The Terminal Crescendo consistently easier.
In the open plane/car area, hug the walls while you make your way into the parking structure. Once you get in here a tank can possibly spawn here, but go through it slowly. This part is easier than the rest of the level, but it just has lots of dark corners.

The Terminal is the most difficult level in this campaign just because of the infinite crescendo at the end.
For the 1st van crescendo, activate it, then run either:
1) back upstairs into a room or safetoom
2) run below the escalator in the dark area
3) run to the bathroom to the left of the van you activated
4) I also haven't seen if it's a good idea, but you could also potentially run past the gate that the van crashes into.
For the aiport luggage area, sometimes the Tank spawns here, just ran back to the beginning.
For the final crescendo, you ideally want a bile to throw once you get up the escalator. Preferably, throw it to the left area in front of you. Otherwise, if you don't, you hopefully have Sniper / Melee / Pipebomb in order to not get overrun. If this does happen, you want to go very slowly and make your way up. Sometimes after killing enough of the horde (at least on Xbox360), the horde will stop for a second so you can run forward for a couple of seconds before beginning again. This sucks without a bile. If you get a tank like I did in the video, it's going to be impossible unless you run past the Tank.

In the Runway Finale, you can either go to the far area I show in the video, but it kind of makes the Tank a pain to deal with, or you can go hang out in the front of the plane. Just shoot the horde and play merry go round with the Tank until it dies. This is an easy finale, but sometimes the special infected make it a pain in the ass, so be aware of your surrounding and try to protect bots from getting overrun. You want to prioritize special infected since the bots will be too busy to help. If you see a spitter, you want to try to run backwards to minimize damage to the bots.
