Thread: The war

Here's my rant:

If you can't stand corner camping, LEARN a strategy against it. It may be a crappy one, but it should suffice a good amount of total damage dealt by the time they leave the corner.

Also, if you're playing versus, corner camp yourself. You have no reason to bitch, and the opposing team has no reason to bitch.

I thought Valve was going to try and eliminate closet camping in L4D2... don't know how they're really going to do that, but we'll see.

Also, if there was a zombie apocalypse, do you really see yourself sensibly standing out in the open getting attacked from all corners, or do you see yourself standing in formation with your team against a wall as a better tactic against sneak attacks and giant hordes?


To me, seeing people corner camping is decent opportunity for attacks, especially if they're in one cell.

Boomer can easily drop down in the middle of cross fire to blow them up with slime, or turn a quick corner and barf bag them all.

Hunter can run up and scratch them mid-horde and stay alive for a decent amount of time if you know what you're doing, or if the survivors are all in one cell, they can pounce one of them and stay on for a few seconds before the survivors actually moves to shoot or punt them away.

Smoker can also run up and scratch them, or from the right angle, he can pull one of the survivors all the way to them and scratch them up, causing the other survivors to get up and save him.

And Tank, well... you really can't complain about it with this one, unless you run up on them head on like a fool where they can just focus their fire on you. Throw rocks or sneak up on them from a corner or above and rock their shit while they're all bunched up.


It's really not a reason to complain, really.

But the only time I'll ever corner camp is when the horde is alerted, but it's not smart to do that in all levels.

As far as camping goes: I camp, and I kill people who camp regularly. It isn't very hard to deal with survivors who camp and like everyone else said if you can't attack them in the corner force or wait for them to move.

Personally when I play survivors I occupy myself with moving from safe spot to safe spot. I usually only get attacked in the process of saving someone else. If the entire team would stick to me like glue we'd rarely get attacked.
