Thread: Steam Friends

i like it!.......this could help many people.

Good list for the most part. I think the mic thing is quite necessary for a good game but for the sake of not derailing the thread, I'll continue forward in the thread in the Rant section.

As for 8 and 6, I think there are definitely exceptions to this rule, specifically number 6, so long as you follow 8.

To clarify - often if my team is up against a good team, people who watch rooftops and are ready for a 25 damage pounce, my team will have a smoker stand on the opposite building of me, smoke a survivor and then once the survivor gets to the smoker, I'll pounce that survivor for 25 damage. And if you do it soon enough, sometimes the smoker won't have the longer reload timer.

I think it's a case by case sort of rule - some times it's better for the hunter to steal the kill, so the smoker can go for another important pull (like going across the roof in NM3)

Pretty solid list. But like many people, I disagree with 4. It's situational. Nothing pissed me off than we I'm sitting there, smokered or huntered, and some idiot stands there trying to shoot the infected (often your aim sucks if your being hit by commons) and I'm like, if you just melee'd, I wouldn't have taken 15 - 20 damage.

I also think number 6 is situational. I think that if you're far enough away or the person being smoked is on a different level, either above or below, then the hunter should take over. The reason being is that a hunter can do more damage quicker than a smoker can, it could mean the difference between incapped and yellow.

On public, NEVER steal smoker pulls, they're unlikely to realise that it was tactical, and will probably just kick you. But yeh I'm guessing in scrims it can be a pretty useful thing to do.

Just thought of an obvious one, probably too obvious to mention; if you go off on your own, or the rest of the team abandons you, you will be killed.

Like I say, too obvious to mention; you know it, I know it, everyone knows it. So why do they still do it...?

I always say, "Don't be a hero." I played with this one guy trying to do just that. He ran off alone, trying to crown the witch (while we looked for fire), got smoker pulled into her and died.
