How the hell do you handle the four-to-ten Smokers in a row that show up in the bronze-to-silver stretch?

You gotta have Moxie.

Moxie Lite!

At that point Doom, you just expect to have one-three people pulled, which makes it more important to have a responsabilabuddy at all times!

You have to just be super careful about lines of sight, and make smoker killing top priority.

Also have a second group of survivors around the corner for Time Lapse.

Everybody's got an individual stats page now! Turns out my most used level 1 weapon is the pistol, with 52% of my kills in that level. (My most used level 2 is the hunting rifle, no surprise there.)

It's pretty fascinating how my headshot percentage is higher with the uzi and assault rifle than with the other weapons. I really do consistently aim for center mass; most of my headshots are accidental and caused by these guns' wider spread at long range. Ehhh, still works for me.

So I'm trying it. The very first time I used a molotov I threw it up at a hole in the ceiling to take out whatever the hell was up there. It earned me some achievement called "101 Cremations". "Cool," I thought.

What the hell was up there?

How the fuck do you deal with those witches? Apparently you're supposed to Solid Snake your way past them but every time I see one it's in the middle of a 2-man wide hallway with no alternative routes.

Typically you're supposed to go around, but the Director isn't always good about placing 'em somewhere you can do that. However, a hunting rifle headshot will kill one on the lower difficulty levels without waking it up.

Scarmiglione · « **Reply #310 on:** May 01, 2009, 05:44:44 PM »

You can also kill them with a couple well placed shotgun shells before they turn around if you run up to them.

Brentai · « **Reply #312 on:** May 01, 2009, 06:20:25 PM »

I managed to bag one with the Witchhunter achievement, but that's because I had my autoshotty right up on its brain and it was going for some other damn fool. Every other time I tried to take it out cleanly it was like "*BA-You are incapacited!"

Doom · « **Reply #313 on:** May 01, 2009, 06:57:26 PM »

Conventional "Witch is in our way" protocol is to elect a runner (Must be over 35% health and have assault rifle/hunting rifle) who will startle the witch while your everyone-else(presumably with shotguns and assault rifles) tries to mow her down.

Kazz · « **Reply #314 on:** May 01, 2009, 07:02:24 PM »

My Left 4 Dead stats are completely, insanely inaccurate.

Catloaf · « **Reply #315 on:** May 01, 2009, 07:11:05 PM »

As are mine. They are accurate about the games I've played since they implemented the stats, but horribly inaccurate overall. In fact, it says Saturn and I have only played 8 games, and have never once survived the finally.

EDIT: wait, no they're inaccurate on everything. They think I have 100% pistol accuracy.

Saturn · « **Reply #316 on:** May 01, 2009, 09:13:32 PM »

i saw my brother trying to get into a survival match in something other than last stand, which appears to be as hard as getting into a versus match on something other than no mercy.

Bal · « **Reply #317 on:** May 01, 2009, 09:21:55 PM »

11/16 Gold medals. Last Stand is definitely the hardest map, with basically the only option being a series of risky retreats, haven't even managed a Silver there yet, and I've given it a good number of tries.

Kazz · « **Reply #318 on:** May 01, 2009, 09:28:47 PM »

No, we've earned 7 minutes there, but for whatever reason the game didn't give us the Silver we deserve.

I'll be home tomorrow. Hope to make good runs at the last 5.

Bal · « **Reply #319 on:** May 01, 2009, 09:30:15 PM »

Me too. That place in intense as hell, but some of those minute 3 deaths can be pretty dispiriting.

I had forgotten about that medal bug. Very irritating.
