One enemy to hate. Only one. Witches. Katanas can fix those, though.

The tactics have changed for sure with the addition of “more” of everything. I’ve found a guy with the chainsaw can run full tilt through a zombie rush or spin 360 degrees and mow down anything trying to touch you. It now gives people specific jobs to help get all through the map.

I love Ellis and Coach’s personality that they have created, so I understand those that like to play them. They just aren’t for me.

Guess I’m more for the gambler/slick-devil type then the Talkactive, gun-crazy and munching-types? :)

You’re right about so many people wanting to be Ellis or Coach. I love playing as Ellis. I think it’s because I relate to him trying to tell a story and then somebody– “Jerry, can we talk about this later?”

Okay…

I like the SCAR, but find the AK to be more effective on Adv. and Exp. modes. Due to the considerable high damage, and reasonable accuracy, it can pin-point attack people from far away, aswell work as a Tunnel-sweeper instead of a Shotgun.

The Reload on the SCAR (to me) is too long, and the burst-shooting isn’t for me. Sure is nice if you’re uncertain on your aim (and goes for center-mass aiming), but with a 80-100% Accuracy the AK or M16 are swifter. Aim for the head. :)

The AK is a Tank/Charger-killer in Versus/Campaign, the SCAR is more of a Support-gun in that sense. Very nice with Explosive Bullets, but that’s about it IMHO.

You don’t care for the combat rifle (SCAR)? I found it to be pretty accurate, and it cuts through everything.

Agreed on all aspects except one, the last part. :D
I ain’t giving up Nick for either of the others, no chance.

If you want to feel the Action-sense tingling, with a haunting feeling with you, play Hard Rain. Lovely map, absolutely lovely. I hate to play it, but it’s a wonderful map of itty-bitty notions, sounds, areas and scenes that will keep you on your toes all the way thru it.

Weapons… Find yourself an AK-47 and a Laser Sight, or the Sniper Rifle (Not Hunting) and you’re golden. Tunnel-sweepers with a damage in average to single-handedly kill Tanks on (up to) Advanced.
The new Infected are fun, incl the “Special Non-Special”, or “Uncommon Common Infected”. Some being bullet-proof, others fire-proof, and others still being there as Atteniont-seekers (Clowns, “It” is back!). Might see a strip of you guys making some minor fun of it?

The game is overal harder due to the slightly odd parts of the game. Lasting Crescendo-Events (Alarm-Events), Collection-Getaway’s and the change in SI’s (Special Infected, Charger/Jockey/Spitter), will make Versus a painstaking thrill. You’re bound to loose as a Survivor, and I’d like to see those that do against a well coordinated Infected-Group.
