Pat Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I've done all four campaigns on Expert, and I had the easiest time on No Mercy. Blood Harvest was second, Death Toll was third, Dead Air was hardest. No Mercy and Death Toll have the easiest finales, by the way (Jesus Room and Jesus Rock). Blood Harvest, there are techniques for the barn that work well, and Dead Air, there's a glitch to trick the tank. Before it comes, though, you really don't have much in the way of hiding places.

Guybrush Threepwood Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Blood Harvest, there are techniques for the barn that work well Primarily sitting on the stack of hay while somebody else tags the tank. I hate tanks so much, even more than smokers. I've started to like boomers, whenever you get one, you know there's gonna be an free-for-all turkey shoot. Just pray you're not in the center of it. Game needs some new content though, I'm really sick of the current campaigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 The best idea for Blood Harvest is to get two people who already have it completed on Expert. They can grab a molotov (if you can find one, they only spawn on the table in the barn half the time), light up the tank, and lure it to the other side of the house. It takes forty five seconds for it to burn to death, so by the time it gets back, it'll be dead. The decoy will be, as well, but that's why you bring two. You can also trap it behind one of the tables by going to a certain spot on the rafters, but that's a little risky (easy to fall off, easy to get hit by one of his rocks, and sometimes he finds his way out of the glitch). For Dead Air, we went to the crashed plane at the back, on the other side of the rescue plane. Piled up against it, killed smokers/meleed teammates being smokered, and then when the tank comes, you just have to be on the opposite side of the plane. It won't come around, unless one of your teammates is a bot (which will go around and try to kill it). No Mercy, we used the Jesus Room (recently, too; I could've sworn it had been patched, but I guess not). Death Toll, we used the Jesus Rock. You go over to the dock, then when facing the water on the dock, look to your right. There'll be a rock on the edge of the map. You can jump on to it where the rock meets the wall, and from there, you just need two people to watch the water under the house (that's where smokers always go). The tank won't come anywhere f*cking near you, and it's easy to get to the boat if one of you saves a pipe bomb. Also, be prepared for "special hordes" (boomer, smoker, and hunter all at once) when you manage to kill a tank. They always come directly after the tank dies. And yes, the current campaigns are getting old. Versus was fun, but now I'm noticing that after Expert, it's way too god damn easy. Survival mode should be a blast, though.

Pat Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 ...it's way too god damn easy. You wouldn't dare say that if you've ever played a game with me I would ask if that was a challenge, but I doubt I would win with only 612MB of RAM. ...assuming you're playing the PC version. If you're on the Xbox 360 version, bring it awwwnnnnnnnn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guybrush Threepwood Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 PC all the way hombre. Suffice to say, I am so obnoxious in versus games, people leave before a tank has even spawned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manofpeace Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 God f*cking damnit. I played a Versus today, and did pretty well, then we got to the helicopter pad, and I spawned under the stairs as a smoker. I couldn't even move. Then, just as the helicopter picks up the survivors, I spawn as the tank when the game ends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tchuck Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 He should run faster when on fire, otherwise people would just set him on fire and run around. Which is lame, real men get up and close with the shotgun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethal Nizzle Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I saw it on the Main Menu for the 360 version, and ignored it, thinking it was a DLC you would have to pay for.. I will be sure to D/L it sometime tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxxSIDESH0Wxxx Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 played the new survival DLC today, got mauled to death by THREE Tanks, not just one or two, but THREE, all clobberin' me at the same time, while i lay on the ground shooting a pistol at them. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbSoLuTiOn Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I've played one very short game of Survival, and the people i were playing it with were useless, they ran off trying to go Rambo, then they got raped by a Hunter or Smoker, then an almost unkillable Tank appeared. It was crazy, i'll most likely try it again a bit later but i have to give the game back to my friend tomorrow, i hope i can find a cheap copy of the game soon.

looloolooigotsomeapples Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Oh man... This is f*cking killer! I haven't tried the Versus very much but I played The Last Stand for the first time and got to 10 minutes and 6 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus'En'Hitler420 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Wow? 10 minutes... My team of 4 could barely reach 6minutes and 30 w/o. So many smokers spawn, it's insane. The best thing we've come up with is chilling up on top of the catwalk of the lighthouse and pass gas cans down to eachother to light the ground on fire. A smoker always ends up pulling somebody off after the railings break. There's so many special infected at any given point that it pretty much requires every member of the team to go rescue one guy. Often someone will get pulled and another smoker will be right there for the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Murders Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Played a game of Survival on last stand and only lasted around 4 min. That sh*t is intense. I played Dead Air in versus but the server sucked and my game was lagging like a son of a bitch, so I ducked out early. I'm going to give the game a few days for the DLC hype to wear off so I can actually play a game without problems from the servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OysterBarron Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) Well i had a game last night and after coming to terms with the learning curve with survival, i Can report this is a good piece of dlc. There are 5 survival scenarios 1 of witch is the new light house map, By the looks of it the other 4 scenarios have multiple clinch point maps maybe 3 per scenario. The new Versus levels opened up are great! allthough in one run i managed to run strait to the truck press it and run back to the safe room before the others had even left the safe room, with only a small swarm of zombies on my tail! I have a seriously annoying clan member who just mess's around in this game, The first time on lighthouse he shoots the petrol cans so you cant get weapons or anything, then continually picks up and throws the explosive barrels into the fire blowing us up in the blast, so were like doomed from the start. My times on that map are rubbish at the moment! ive been downed in like 35secs a few times allready very dissapointed. By the way what do you guys think of the recharge limit on being able to melee now. also i think they have slowed the fire rate down of the pistols in survival.

manofpeace Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Limited Melee is a bunch of bullsh*t. I was killed by about 3 smokers at once because I couldn't melee them fast enough, then not to mention the hordes and their magical ability to make you stop dead in your tracks if you get swiped once. Oh, and Last Stand is getting annoying because no matter where you go, a Tank will either A. Corner you and pummel you to death, or B. Smack you into the ocean. I am not pleased.

Yes that is pretty sh*tty with the limited melee. Then a hunter or a smoker grabs you and 40 zombies rape you then a tank comes out of nowhere and f*cking lames you in a corner. I only played it a few times on the no mercy one by myself (private game with just me and bots cause it was really early and I was tired and didnt want to deal with anyone.) I my best score was like almost 4 minutes I got killed when there was like 7 seconds to the 4 minute mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus'En'Hitler420 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) @ Pat: Campaign mode isn't affected by the melee cooldown, thank god... but the new survival mode is, which f*cking pisses me off. My team and I now just run around like f*cking crazy in Last Stand and we always get to 6 minutes but can't get much further than that due to just such overwhelming numbers. We're going to try going room to room tomorrow and finally going up to the lighthouse. The abundance of mollys and pipes in each area should guarantee atleast one minute in each room. Resource managing with gas cans and propane tanks has been helping a lot. When we get to the lighthouse, we have someone get all the way on top with all the propane and gas cans laying up there and he just keeps tossing sh*t down and blowing it up. Glad that theres 4 mollys and pipes up on top. Edited April 23, 2009 by Jesus'En'Hitler420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, Expert... with limited melee... holly sh*t. Melee fatigue is only in Versus and Survival mode, last time I checked. You can still melee spam in Campaign. And yeah, it's a bit of a pain to get used to but with some good teamwork, it shouldn't be that much of a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
