SO its been over a month with Left 4 Dead, and some thing have definitely changed. Here's the long awaited update to the tactic section.

But first let me get out my soapbox and mention a new kind of L4D player I have encountered.

SCORE WHORES

Come on, admit it you have seen them, maybe you are one? If so, I have a few choice words for you. Why in the world would you run away from your downed team just to "score" a few more points? Are you so number fixated and competition bound that getting 100 more points is more important than saving a team member? You cannot survive on your own and that Hunter is waiting around the corner to pounce your ass, so whats the deal? I know what the deal is your a coward, and someone that does not understand CO-OP play. Next round, I'll be duty bound to save your butt, because thats the person I am, but you will be the last on I help. Rest assured, when I am an infected you'll be the first to go. You really should go back to playing counter strike, you will be happier there.

BOOM (PoP goes the boomer)

This is still my favorite infected in versus mode. This flabby shambling pile of pus, is very close to my heart. So here's a few tips. This guy is ready to pop. So stay behind cover (no kidding right?) But try this. IF you can get up high, it turns out that vomit is gravity dependent , so you can vomit further. ( IF you vomiting downward!) Also, when the survivors have holed up in a small area, join the party, They will TRY to melee you back but in a tight spot they may not be able to corral your fat butt out the door, then someone panics and BOOM , they are awash with your entrails Corners are you friend also, but remember that many guns can shoot through those flimsy walls, so choose a strong cover. It is really best to vomit on all the survivors if you can. Hitting just one is OK. as long as you get away to puke another day. It's fairly easy to defend against a horde if they are only focused on 1 survivor. Here's another tip, if a survivor is down, be sure to puke on him, it will finish him off and make it really difficult for anyone to revive him. I only wish the sound emanating from the gelatinous mass didn't make me sick to my stomach.

The TANK (part 2)

I have become sort of an expert on this over-steroid filled , rotten muscled, hulk impersonator. He actually is not that hard to deal with so long as you have 3 team members. It is critical that 2 team members use the auto shotty when on a finale. The auto shotty at close range can bring down the tank in 2 clips. (head shots). Before you start to deal with him, make sure to burn him, A cooking tank will go down much faster. If you happen to have a play who can use the hunting rifle well, then this guy does not stand a chance. When the tank is computer controlled you have another advantage. If the tank is punding away at your team mate , run up behind him and melee his back, he will drop what he's smashing and come after you!. (I know what you saying, why the HELL would I want to do THAT?) Well, it takes 4 to really win this game, you need that guy that the tank is beating to death in order to survive to the finish. Plus its the honorable thing to do.
