HAY GUYS

Despite my lack of familiarity with FPS games it's been fairly easy to pick up and play, though I seem to have a knack for setting off Witches.

"There's a witch nearby"
"What where"
*points flashlight*
*incapped*
*killed*
"lol"

Although the best one seriously was when I saw the witch, ran past it to higher elevation to try something out, and then you ran right behind me and triggered her somehow.

I have only done Dead Air and Blood Harvest. The Director is a total hater since the only time I did Dead Air, Taco + a friend got to safety while another friend + I got hit with a crate to the face by a Tank, which blocked the exit so we ended up dying. The initial run of Blood Harvest with Taco and his roomie went smoothly, then later when I tried it with a full team (Saka the Witch Startler included) it was nothing but wipe after wipe after wipe. The best wipe being my knee-jerk reaction to seeing a tank = throw a molotov. Except it was our brilliant strategy to all hole up in the restroom, with the tank. So we all just kind of lit up all pretty like

I really wish Saka would stop shooting me though. The black man is NOT A ZOMBIE.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've had mixed experiences with rushing. Then again the few times I play versus I sometimes end up with a mix of friends + pubbies.

If you rush and pause to kill special infected, you should be just fine until they spawn again. There are certain points where you have to move as one unit though or you'll get picked off by a smoker or hunter and you can't be saved.

Probably the biggest problem I experience are people who kind of take their sweet time when we're moving. It's not campaign so we don't have the luxury of exploring every nook and cranny; at least not if you are up against competent Infected players.

Hunter swipe damage went down from 10 to 6, while the Boomer and Smoker went up to 4. Auto-targeting still sucks ass but it's better than it was before.

A few exploits on No Mercy were fixed, some were left alone but they made little changes to things here and there that even if you're exploiting fast melee you can still get pounced, just not smoked.

Witches still don't consistently spawn in your way, but it's only in some maps where she does not, so you should still be able to organize something around her as Infected. The set spawns kind of ruin what some players wanted. Then again they did provide what people complained about not having: Equal Opportunity.

Like the witch though, there are still moments where you do not get a Tank at all during the round. At least both sides won't have a tank though, since the set spawn only occurs if it spawns for the first team.

Versus should hopefully be less heavily biased towards the Survivors now, but time will tell.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
