I remember reading a user's comment here in the wiki critiquing the same party back in 2013. That user is Joeyx something (I forgot his full username) and he said that he disliked it because it was too dark, and long.

I also remember reading another user's comment here not too long ago in a blog post demonstrating his dislike towards the same party because it was dark too and that party reminded him/her of World War II.

Frankly, I find some of these reasons to dislike the party partly ridiculous. Personally, I have to say it's my favorite party of CP. I didn't get tired of the party. In fact, I enjoyed it very much I didn't want CP to end the party even in its last few days; the last time I felt something like that towards a party was the 10th Anniversary Party. I really enjoyed the storyline, the rooms, the items, music, everything.

Let's not forget that, despite not occurring in 2012, we're having lots of parties lasting longer than Operation: Blackout. Just look at the Zootopia Party, Finding Dory Party, Puffle Party 2016 and apparently, the Frozen Party 2016 will be the longest party of 2016 and overall, the 2nd longest parties of CP History, preceded by Operation: Crustacean.

As for Operation: Blackout being dark, CP did a really good job with the environment; fitting the storyline in the rooms; that's something truly scarce nowadays. It was still expected that Herbert would fail, but either way, it was perfect.
