I like the finale of The Parish as well, good ol' fashioned zerging.

Except for when you get charged off (or smoked, or jocky'd)

Fact: playing The Parish finale is 86% more likely to get you to shout obscenities than any other campaign.

Actually, unless I'm playing Versus, I find the Parish finale easy. Too easy, in fact. As long as I don't get pounced by a Hunter, Jockey, or Smoker in the first thirty seconds, I can zergrush my way to the helicopter in under three minutes (required for one achievement) solo. And by solo, I mean I kill every other survivor and then run alone. The trick is to completely avoid the Tanks. Don't even stop to shoot at them, just run past them. The level is laid out so that they aren't even going to catch up by the time you get to da choppah.

That's an interesting strategy. I wonder how well that goes down with your team members -or are you talking about single player?

Probably singleplayer. It's surprisingly effective if you're a sure-shot. It's all about avoiding the one unlucky pounce.

I've yet to complete it on Versus. The tank dodge method is effective in Campaign mode, but in Versus a good tank can deal with that too easily.

Not only that, but Chargers can one-hit kill you by charging you over the side, unlike smokers or jockies who simply incap you, Chargers full on kill you since they carry you into the water below. If the team you're facing is good by consistently setting up their charges you will never make it to the 50% mark. I've gotten to within spitting distance of the chopper once only to get downed by common infected.

[White_eyes:D]

My friend just bought this when it came out(360 version).....I played the first but didn't get into mutiplayer too much....

I must say...my favorite infected to play as is...."The Jockey"

I have ruined a few team efforts with that guy....but "The Jockey" is more like a Vulture, which made me hate it at first.

But after that crazed laugh and stopping a player from reaching the exit chopper on "Dark Carnival"...making a narrow win for my team.....I must say I was hooked

I hate the "Charger" though....I feel it's a bit cheap to charge people off the dock/bridge/rooftop areas....and I always miss when it matters most

I don't use that tactic in MP... unless I want to be a complete

[Crazed Rabbit]

Well, I just finished a movie and don't have to be up early tomorrow...

And hes offline already.

Quitter.

Everything is nicely balanced. I like how the game feels, but I yearn for Francis, Bill, Zoey and pills here!

It was good to see you ingame pever, I can't quite remember if you left after the first failed attempt over the bridge, but we made it on the second -er, after you and another guy left. We made more of a run for it than the zombie death crawler approach we'd followed before.

I'm still very new to L4D2 and I've spent most of my time playing the Parish (as the first 2 levels were in the Demo). But that last level really is tricky, it seems mostly down to an attrition factor. You have to strike a (fine) balance between advancing methodicaly and keeping some forward momentum. Were there a health drop half way it would be a lot easier, too easy probably!

[pevergreen]

The fickle drops of randomness rarely provide when you need it.

I've had two healthpacks drop at the military jeep at a high point when we didnt need them, and none drop when we do.

As always guys, hit me up if you need an extra player. Always happy to play with orgahs.

Edit: If theres a way im playing you'd like to have changed (eg im going too fast, not exploring enough, too slow etc etc) let me know and I'll change. I'd rather I changed so you could have fun, than me ruin your fun.

I didn't take any.

I tend to go fast in areas I know, unless I know the people I'm playing with have a certain pace or other things.

It annoys quite a few people. (Non members of the org, thankfully)

LOL me and pever played scavenge with a 12 year old girl who shouted orders and had some jacked up strategy of getting the farthest gas can first !!!!! and when it didn't work out she chided us WHY DID YOU GUYS NOT FOLLOW MY COMMANDS? In a very authoritative manner

great finish on parish. love the run and gun finale, especially because rescuing stricken buddies is such a dicey business when you need to keep moving.
