3 in 1. Boomer dies in the beginning, no one spawns and you get 3 hunters 1 smoker. Your ratios are way off. For the tank, it is advisable to throw rocks on a very high area. If you look at Death Toll the final chapter, what people do is climb the house and throw rocks at the survivors, if they try to light you on fire than you just jump in the water and get your special infected to distract them. Boomer, do rocket boom and that's when you jump in between the survivors and puke on all of them
Wall pouncing as the hunter is best to control when you actually pounce, do not spam pounce as he has suggested, it offers a lot more control and acuracy when done correctly. With the scratch damage patch the hunter does 6 damage and the smoker and the boomer do 4. Throwing rocks as the tank is heavily advisable because if they do not have molotovs, point blank rocks can hold a survivor down and since there is no delay between throw and punch.
You need to learn to do the barf+die, get as many with the barf, then if any left make them come to you and let them kill you. You also need to do a handy trick I call "The Blending Boomer" in maps where the boomer is often very hard to stop like Dead Harvest or whatever you can stalk and wait for re-barf
One thing about the tank control meter though - It drains whenever you cannot see the survivors. When you keep survivors in sight and don't attack, the gauge will stop where it is. When you attack, the gauge refills.
now and days people are able to kill the tank easy, i actualy advise that u throw a rock, once thrown u can easly down that surviver (unless missed) but it is a hard thing to do so be carful
"Kiting" is not from WoW. Kiting has been done in RPGs, shooters, RTS, and many other kinds of games for a long time. Why are you talking like a robot?
to make this clear, the sniper rifle is not useful in many ways at all. it is very situational and 95% of the time you would much rather have an AS or an AR rather than a hunting rifle.. this game is more so a run and gun type of game and long range weapons dont come to that great of use especially since boomers (the base of every attack) spawn very close to you pretty much making the sniper ineffective. unless you plan on moving extremely slow, a sniper is highly unadvisable.
towards the end he states that he does not advise anybody to throw rocks with the tank.. he is wrong.. in order to play a tank successfully, you need to think about what will deal the most damage to the survivors without getting yourself killed and running into the survivors bullets flailiing the air sometimes is not the best way to go.. in open areas, stay back and throw rocks, wait for support from your other SI's and wait for your moment to attack.
No, it won't. I have been playing this game since the demo and that is pure bullshit. However, if your health as a survivor goes down to less than 40 you will start limping, then the tank will run faster then you. But if hes on fire or not dont affect his running speed.
can anyone explain to me in detail about the boomers' vomit, i mean the range and the effect, cuz it's really stressful when u know u vomit on them, but they don't get infected, and other boomer vomits from an extremely long distance and gets them
Yea I know what you mean. Today a kid vomited on me from 50'+ away (seriously) and i was like WTF! Then I missed a 20 ft vomit on a dude standing still. I really hope l4d2 addresses a lot of these issues.
One comment - it's a common misconception to think that vertical height gives Hunter pounces more damage. What actually gives you more damage when pouncing is the horizontal distance: the further away you are from a Survivor when you pounce them, the more damage you deal (up to 25 that is.)
also a good idea is to melee a witch in the back as she is getting up she will not turn around to scratch you but blood will fly, you will not take damage. then just do anything except punching her because you will stumble and she will kill you.
well now when we can play verusus in death toll and dead air at the last levle of death toll when playing as the tank, if u are on fire jump in the lake LOL hope it comes in the DLC soon
About auto-shotty ammo, if you ever do waste your clip (Lose all 10 shots) reload once in the long animation, click so you cock it, then continue reloading. As long as one shell is in the clip, the game will allow the fast animation.
This is a great tutorial vid, i mean, not just with the information and clarifications, but also with presentation. I especially appreciate that the creator didn't resort to heavy metal music like everyone else.
I actually recommend throwing rocks as a tank. It's incredibly useful from places where the survivors can't see you. Like the cornfield in Blood Harvest. Search for tank sniping on youtube.
I didnt phrase it properly, if you can avoid damage throwing rocks, by all means. But if your taking damage, people can easily stand behind trees and stuff and wait you out.
The Tank does still die 30 seconds after being set on fire. The only thing that changed in the latest patch is that it lowers his health each second he's on fire.
You're probably correct as I never played EQ. It's just like the term 'woot' came from quakeworld and most people think its from counter-strike or something.
how do u change infected? btw *gives cookie* GREEEAT VID MUCH THANKS
