Awful. Not even the remaster's rebalancing could save this one. I'm baffled anyone even calls this good because this quite literally has some of the worst level and encounter design I've ever seen in an official id software campaign/expansion.
Do you like base shotgunning bulletsponge enemies that take 5 SHOTS EACH to kill? Because the first unit of this campaign has you do it again. and again. and again. You don't even get the SSG until halfway through the third unit, and you're almost done with the campaign by that point. This campaign too is so stingy with powerups and ammo it's not even funny.
New weapons are also flat out useless and become redundant quick. The Ion Ripper becomes useless the moment you find the Hyperblaster again, The Phalanx is a worse rocket launcher that you'll only use once or twice before the final boss when you just run out of rockets, and the traps are just there.
If you're gonna play this for the remaster achievements, either play on easy or do this in Coop with a friend or two. Other then that, stay FAR away from this one. Never touching this again.
