Left 4 Dead

[Monk]

As a hunter I miss all the time on NM 4 after the elevator and fall to my death. I actually hate being hunter the most, and reserve myself to either just running up and meleeing for 10 pts of damage if I can't find some fire to light myself aflame. Occassionally I'll get a 25 pt pounce, even better when im on fire, but 90% of the time I miss. I also like to play distraction and ping pong hop between walls and canyons, I'm actually better at that than landing a pounce, that way the other infected can hit them while they are trying to shoot me out of the sky

Hunter is the twitch class of the infected. Half the challenge is flipping around and pouncing in a seperate direction if you miss them the frst time. Take me for example, I rarely hit on the first pounce but as long as I wasn't hit with a melee I can bounce around and severely confuse a survivor.

While I am repositioning and essentially pouncing circles around him, maybe he panics shoots a teammate while trying to hit me. Hunter is my favorite right up there with boomer. As the boomer you're the architect of the ambush, nail them with bile and watch your teammates capitalize. That is insanely gratifying to me.

Still haven't mastered the Smoker, getting better though.

Just had a very narrow escape on Death Toll - we were all bleeding to death, but we got to the dock early so we all made it on to the boat. There was a brief moment where things looked doubtful for the guy playing as Louis when he got pounced by a hunter and mobbed by about 8 zombies, but we shot them off of him and so he ended up being OK.

This was only on normal, but I tend to have a lot of trouble surviving the endings so it was an accomplishment for me at least.

PS - this was also one of the first times that I was on a team that actually used the explosives well. Propane tanks, gas tanks, etc. They make everything a lot easier, not to mention more fun...

How weird, I joined a friends normal death toll game and a third player said he had never been on a team that used explosives. I don't remember his name because I was drunk, ziggy or ziglar or something.

Alright. I got a custom spray and a working mic.

My steam ID is the same as my Org name, FYI.

Double post, sorry.

Anyways, I just finished a very exciting Death Toll campaign on advanced. It was all going swimmingly until the finale, when the first tank killed one of us. We survived and the second tank came. We were all crammed in the downstairs bathroom. I decided to get out and go upstairs. The tank and a horde came in. I shot at the tank, but it went for my teammates, still hunkered in the bathroom. The horde was killed but the tank incapped them. I ran up behind the tank with the autoshotty and started blasting, but to no avail. They were killed. And the tank was still alive. So I ran.

I was running back past the covered picnic area and I noticed a gas tank lying on the ground. So I crouched with my pistols and waited for the tank to come. It came, I shot and the gas tank exploded. Then I ran some more, around the other side of the picnic building to the shore. The tank was still coming at me, on fire. I unloaded into it and it went down.

I breathed a sigh of relief and made for the dock like a bat out of hell. I crouched at the end and saw the horde come. I could hear hunters and smokers and knew I was doomed if they got me. I got one hunter with my pistol, then used my shotgun to clear the dock as the horde ran towards me. But there were more right behind them. Right as the first zombies reached me, the boat had arrived and I lept on.

My adrenaline was up and I breathed a deep sigh of relief.

The most exciting game I've played so far.

Going solo is the most exhilarating experience to be had in l4d. Everyone's dead and it's you vs horde. Toss a molotov and pray you can snipe down any smokers or hunters if they get you...
