Expert and Realism. On their own, they are both pretty solid. Together, it is IMPOSSIBLE. 99.9% of the people who DO have Real Deal must have used the exploit. Some of the SI do INSANE amounts of damage, especially the Jockey, who can incap you as quick as an advanced Hunter. IMO, the commons should do 10 damage to the front and 5 to the back.

It's not really the Expert part that bothers me though. The Realism part gives me nightmares. First of all, no glow. OK with bots. Not OK when a no micer goes Rambo and then you have to play search as he is incapped on the ground. Plus the items barely glow so you could miss something vital to your success.

Next up, Zombies take less damage. This is probably the worst of the lot. On normal Expert, they have more health than the Boomer and almost the Spitter anyway. On Realism, it's like every Common is a Hunter or Smoker and only headshots can really take them down at all. But the head is such a miniscule target, and since the zombies run so fast, it's impossible to get an accurate shot.

Now only respawns in safe rooms. Not a bad idea, but if a Tank spawns early in the level and kills three survivors, unless you have a defib, you're fucked. On most levels, the saferoom is a fair bit away so isn't this a bit harsh? Why not allow survivors to spawn every three minutes instead of one?

And finally, the Witch can kill you instantly. Fair enough I suppose, they are easy to dodge when they are walking, but when they are in your way, sitting down, guess what? One of you is screwed (unless you can slip pass VERY stealthly or crown it succesfully)

Pile all these in an expert game and what do you get? Abosolute madness. I swear Special Infected spawn twice as much as well and if you get a Tank (which are common), you're dead. Not big suprise, because Expert Realism is just too damn hard. It doesn't matter if you play with pubs, forumers or bots, either way, you're just gonna rage more and more.

If you have completed Realism Expert legitly (and you have to PROVE it as well), my hat's off to you, sir or madam.

Also, what would you say is the easiet campaign to complete this impossible task?
