Nobody has recounted it yet so I will!
Me Bal Sieg and Wiseman embarked upon truly epic Advanced Campaigns last night.
Highlight Reel:
-In No Mercy, a Tank spawned near the gas station/lift and was behind a Police Car. As we all worked at zombies and got ready to fall back, he punted the car... and just watched it go. Seriously, he idled.
As the thing gracefully spun twice in the air, crushed two of us on impact, slid along the wall and landed on the other two. A perfect strike.
-In a later level, I believe from Safe Room to Alley to Pizza Parlor(Or the same level?!), a tank spawned and chased us back out the Pizza Parlor into the alley.
He punted a dumpster down the alley and Incapacitated three of us. This left Bal to be thoroughly thrashed, alone.
-The finale of No Mercy. By this point(my second day of owning the game), I am seriously growing to dread No Mercy's Finale. This was the third time I was Smokered off the Roof into a horde, freed of the Smoker, pinned by a Hunter and finished off.
But to up the ante, everybody pulled through on three men, survived both tanks and the entire finale.. until the copter landed.
They rushed.
The first thing to happen was a hunter grabbing Wiseman. He was pulled under and there were so many zombies that Bal couldn't auto-shotgun the Hunter at all, and he was in bad shape as is. Limpin'!
Sieg is following and trying to help, but there's just TOO MANY GOD DAMN! Bal and Sieg head up the ramp, Bal limping away with all his gritty Bill resolve.. when he's smokered to a lower level. He's ten feet from the copter and he's smokered. Tragically, he could've saved himself but he was locked in the auto-shotty's insanely long reload check.
Sieg was the only survivor. In Memory of Wiseman, doomykins and Bal.
-We headed off to Dead Air and at that finale, guess what happened. A tank!
He threw a stone at the minigun, knocking me away.
He punted a trailer, which flew OVER the minigun and KO'd Bal as he tried to hop off the fuel truck.
He threw a second stone at the minigun, KOing me!
And then he just beat everybody to death...
Christ. Over the course of two tries as I held the minigun, I got hunter'd at least five times. Those fuckers really had the mini locked down.
I love this game so much.
