Left4Dead survival mode

[Sandman]

Anyone had a go at this yet!

 

It rocks!

[Reaper]

Just how difficult is this? How many people here play Left 4 Dead?

[ICT_GUY]

All the time,

[Bigape]

Got fed up with it after a few weeks - went back to TF2

[Reaper]

I think if I played it solidly I'd get bored but I drop in and out with some friends of mine so keeps it fun. That and the hunt for achievements

[Sandman]

The new mode is good.

 

But it's not available single player with AI buddies with is a bit of a let down.

[gshaw]

It's a good game but needs more map updates... unless there's some already I've missed?

[Sandman]

Think yesterdays update added 2 more campaigns... don't quote me on that tho

[ZeroHour]

Ahh its finally out now then. Will boot steam tonight as it sounds good.

[Chris_Jones]

Good Fun, but very intense

 

Got 12 mins on Blood Harvest Finale last night,

 

Only managed 8 on Lighthouse though - anyone got over 10 on this yet? is so what is your secret?

[Arcath]

I think its brilliant, Ive only managed to get 8 on the light house, seen a couple of people with records of 11mins and they said that the room with the stairs is your best bet

[CAM]

Re-installing it to check this out.

 

Don't forget to join the EduGeek Steam Group!

It was a couple of days ago but I think I achieved over 13 minutes on the lighthouse with a full group of players. The room with the stairs didn't work for us, there's a room in the house that worked great. I wouldn't be able to describe it, but I'll post a screenshot later when I get home.

 

Most people head straight for the top of the lighthouse, thinking that high ground is best. There are a lot of molotovs and pipebombs up there, but if the Tank gets up he knocks you for six, and you get an instant death.

yep my corpse has ended up far out to sea because of this a few times

[Reaper]

Managed 4 minutes on the three attempts at this so far.

 

The Lighthouse is fairly useful but you're right about the tank.... Absolutely stuffed when he appears.

[Stevenw]

Lasted 10 mins on a few of the maps.

 

Trick for the tank is for everyone to have auto shotguns tank will not last more than 20 seconds with 4 people shooting it.

 

Have to organise a game at some point.

[Chris_Jones]

I've found there are a few tactics that can be used to get 10 mins+

 

Basically do one of these 3 things

 

1. Camp near the Ammo. If Possible I always try to defend near to the ammo - it means you can use your primary weapon indiscriminatly and not have to worry too much about co-ordinated ammo runs, just turn round and grab some. Ditto rather than re-load you can just grab a fresh weapon from the table which massively increases your rate of fire.

 

2. Camp the Minigun. On maps with a minigun, one person uses it the others keep close and watch his back. A good minigunner can clear out masses of zombies, and put a serious ammount of Hurt on the Tanks.

 

3. Hide in a corner. If theres no Minigun and/or the ammo is in an exposed spot, the final tactic I have used is to find a good spot with your back to a wall - this can be anywhere on the map. Use pistols exclusively against the regular zombies, and try to save primary ammo for tanks. You may be able to make a few runs for ammo and med packs in the lulls (normally about 2-3 mins, 6mins and 9mins 30secs)

 

of the 3 strategies number one is deffinatly my favourite, and I got over 20 mins with it on the Bridge.

 

If anyone wants a game of this, drop me a message on steam (Elvis in the Edugeek Group)
