The game is very easy when you rush, so of course it will be different when the game forces you into staying in the same place for a while like a stand-off would.

When human players can control the Infected bosses though, I’m sure they will come up with devious ways to counter the rush strategy.

A few pro tips:
1. When using the pipebomb to draw a mob away from a puked-on survivor, don’t lob it AT the survivor.
2. Cars with red blinking lights, when shot, set off an alarm and attract a horde of zombies. So don’t shoot it if your team is half dead…. unless you are far enough away that the mob will bypass you.
3. Zombie mobs can, and will attack from the area you just cleared. take note of this and be sure to check your sectors.
4. Avoid throwing molotovs into your only path of escape. That’s when the horde will come from the opposite direction.

@the RPSchappies – which is why I specified expert on the demo as not being too tough, I (and Mike) fully expect it to be much more of a challenge further along that campaign, let alone in the other ones. No macho-nes here, just our experience of playing it with our various forum friends, the only time we get in trouble is usually when a tank shows up – and this is with plenty of dicking around.

I have noticed that this game is reasonably moron proof. They don’t really know what to do with themselves and generally have a hard time griefing others and if they do try it on their own they can’t really take it very far. Hopefully Valve’s anti-dick system will eleviate the rest of them.

@GenuineEntropy:
Hehe. I had a similar situation the other night, when I suddenly realized I was playing with three AI guys, and probably had been for the last couple of attempts. The original 3 humans and I had been getting completely destroyed and they’d obviously got fed up and left. I thought they’d just become cowardly and despondent but no, they were robots. Quite creepy, actually.

I’m so torn between getting this on the 360 or the PC. On one hand, the 360 will have Live support and very little, if any, lag as a result of processor capability, graphics card, etc. On the other hand, I firmly believe that FPS games play better on the PC and I just like playing with WASD and my mouse much better but I’m worried that I won’t have that player base to tap when I want to play Co-Op. WHAT TO DO??!! Plus, I’m not running a KILLER machine right now. I mean, it’s an XPS laptop that was amazing in May of ‘07, but no amazing anymore. Maybe just good. Kinda really good. Sorta.
