Thread: Bill Gates last day...

Who hates when you melee a Hunter and you still get slashed by it? I don't mind it but on Expert, its cheap. He might as well just pounce you if a single slash does that much damage. Once you melee, they should be stunned completely, no BS slash. I cannot tell you enough how many times my teammates are dead and I survive long enough for them to respawn, then seeing a Hunter, meleeing the said Hunter, and the bastard incaps me thanks to his slash.

Ninja Tanks. Is the AI Director really so ruthless that he sometimes doesn't give warning of a Tank? Or is it just me who has this problem? Often times I walk by a door or passage and there's a Tank standing right there silently yelling at himself. I have often see them cheaply placed in saferooms and you open the door and BAM, you dead, bro. I remember playing Hard 8 yesterday and all the specials spawned in the saferoom. Its BS that WE can't spawn in a saferoom in Versus yet they can. It can be pretty beneficial in Versus where a Boomer can spawn in a saferoom after the group leaves (like say, No Mercy 2), and the other 3 infected placed elsewhere.

I absolutely agree with you on everything you just said here.

The Director just loves to throw that melee hunter in or ninja boomer in right before you earn "nothing Special" or "stomach upset".

Like shotgun mentioned, i also get a lot of those meleeing chargers, those guys are annoying.

The AI director is exceptionally well tuned to the survivors' gameplay and intentionally pulls stunts to catch players out. I observed this on more than one occasion today when I was trying (just to test myself really) to see how far I could get on No Mercy Solo. Now, I was playing on EASY, and the game was still absolutely raping me. I'd die in the level, and when I retried, the director would spawn SI and/or tanks in locations where I'd struggled with previously, or, the favourite trick that it loves playing on me, spawning a tank in amongst a shitload of common infected. (Whoever says that the director gets rid of commons when it spawns a tank is blatantly wrong, as I get caught in a crowd of commons at least 50/50 when fighting a tank). Not only that, but once when I managed to kill the tank solo, the director spawned another later in the map! I have to say it does give me a bit of respect for the game, and even more respect for people who can do solo on expert and make it look easy.
