Why is there no wrench?  Seriously, one sentry could fix half this zombie problem.

The AK with the laser sight is number one death machine. AK and fire ax for life.

, though I like the machete more. It feels snappier. The slower rate of fire on the AK is actually kind of a bonus; if you're careful with how you sweep your line of fire you get way more carnage per magazine than with the other assault rifles, even without taking into account the AK's innate punch. And the extra control is more than worth the accuracy loss, which is almost negligible with the laser sight. It's good for everything except special infected at extreme range.

Doom says a lot of stuff here.

I got Bridge Over Trebled Slaughter with one other human on easy. When the tank spawns (it'll happen as you are passing an 18-wheeler type truck with an ammo dump) you can just run past it. If you do this, there won't be a 2nd tank (this is my experience, at least). If someone gets incapped, leave them. Everyone gets it as long as the finale ends in less than three minutes. This finale doesn't require much teamwork anyway, as special infected don't happen very often. You should try to stay together just in case, but under no circumstances should you turn around to help someone.

If you're trying to do Wing and a Prayer on the wing of the airplane, then you're insane. Stay inside the passenger area after opening the door. There's a seating aisle that you can get into and just crouch down. Have someone that already has the achievement (Hello) standing in front of you with a melee weapon. While you're doing this, make yourself useful by shooting out the window behind you to get infected coming in on the wing.

I can help with Beat the Rush, but you pretty much have that one down- take turns. The important thing is not to get incapped, since you'll probably accidentally fire your magical pistol as you go down.

I know how ironic it is that I'm giving you advice here, but I have all these achievements and these methods are what worked for me. I'd be happy to help get any of them (and any others) as long as I'm not, like, doing schoolwork (so, not tonight).

On a related note, I'd be glad to help anyone who needs to get Guardin' Gnome. I can carry it around since that'd be more useful than me trying to help fight. Find me on steam when I'm not busy and we'll set this up.

Also, I don't know how any of you use the sniper rifles ever. Auto-Shotgun in L4D1 (although I still go M16 because it's more satisfying to spray bullets everywhere), FN SCAR (I don't know what the in-game name of it is) in L4D2. The SCAR (aka burst rifle) is accurate enough to pull off 100% headshots at non-insane (and yet safe) distances while running, and is my favorite weapon to use across The Bridge. I've never used the Magnum, because when the horde comes I want something that is going to either be fast or kill a lot of things at once. Dual pistols are fast, and the melee weapons are both.

It was Easy Difficulty + I only got tapped by common infected twice because I let them get me from out of line of sight.

I guess I am too used to 4 humans squatting in the actual plane and getting immediately Spitter + Charger'd and oops I guess somebody threw a molotov into the middle of us, I hope the one guy that isn't incapped has perfect accuracy.

See, I wouldn't know about that, because I don't play on the higher difficulties. Nothing like it has ever happened to me on easy or normal, though.

Level a Charge seems to be impossible bullshit or reserved for the impossibly lucky. I've never actually seen a charger batted out of his charge. I assume you side-step and hit him in a 90 degree turn ala Niku-Face-Stabbing-Spy.

I got entirely lucky when I got at as the AI had JUST hit the charge button when I stuck it down with the crowbar.

Got Level A Charge by crouching next to a doorway, channeling my ancestor's fury into my Ninja Sword, and swinging when I heard him bellow because naturally he was aiming for Niku. Yeaaaaaah.

I made it a quarter of the way solo through Dark Carnival stage four on Expert with nary a scratch after killing the three dead weight losers who had been holding me back.

then i ran around a corner into a tank.

I have to wonder what compels me to just charge a tank with my melee weapon each time, especially when one shows up in Hard Rain when you're crossing the vat-things.

So I got to play some Left 4 Friend today!  It is lots of fun!  Then on Dark Carnival my game started going all glitchy, so we had to call it a night.

I know why, too.  Turns out I have backups scheduled at 12:30!  ha ha.. oohh..

Even though it took us an hour to get through the gauntlet, it felt good to be the first one in the saferoom when we finally made it, being black and white with like 15 health left.

That particular gauntlet is one of the most intense video game experiences I have ever had. Every. Single. Time.
