Did you just ask how realistic the damage modeling on zombies/mutants is?

You can kill them with shots to center mass (how many depends on the gun), it's even fairly effective. Headshots are certainly much easier though.

And furniture is not movable (except when the tank's around, if it's not nailed down, it might get you squished).

Hah, sounds about like the conversations my friends and I have with this game. Though with less screaming and ranting, and more resignation about the fact that some rear end in a top hat is gonna wing the witch with his over-eager cock-spray, and we're gonna have to deal with it.

This game encourages teamwork to a degree many other games just can't touch, it's awesome

I'm a huge Gears enjoyable human being, but usually just Horde. Though I sometimes drag my team down in Wingman when I drink too much and it seems like a good idea.

And I buy 95% of my poo poo for the 360, and I bought L4D for my PC. Definitely a good call.

Easier to pounce a Survivor who is meleeing

This is the best part.

Gtab posted:

Tank frustration timer is only reset by hitting Survivors with rocks or fists

This seems like a bad idea. If you're finally getting to the Survivors, near frustration, and you announce yourself with a rock throw and take a swing and miss...the AI could still decide it was time to take over. That would be the worst blue-balls ever. Though this

quote:

Made the Tank and Witch spawn directly on the escape route

seems to address that, to some extent.

Nice to see "Smoker" is not a punishment anymore, too.

# ¿ Jan 15, 2009 02:47

Revolvyerom: Nov 12, 2005; Hell yes, tell him we're plenty front right now.

Right, but the whole point of the Survivors is they need to stick together to survive. Miss a shot on the smoker who grabbed you? Gotta have a friend save you. Miss your shot on the hunter coming at you? You should have to have a friend save you.

Mashing the melee button was kind of an overpowered way to stop a hunter from ever getting to you in the first place.

It was all about Rabbit mode in Tribes 1. The pile of mods for that game could get downright silly at times. In a heavy with a mortar and a custom reticle script for the mortar, I could las you for range, and hammer you with accuracy. Or just eyeball the range and let rip.

I've got a cheap $5 mic that came with a lovely plastic stand, and it works great for me. If you want something on the headphones themselves for super-tactical, then look elsewhere, but I don't see a reason to splurge on a mic unless you really really have to have it on the headset.

If you play SWAT4, getting the SSF mod (Sheriff's special forces) is essential.

The SSF mod is good for single-player, improves the AI a lot. They're more aggressive with the non-lethals, get out of the way faster in room clearing, escalate faster against a dude with a gun, etc.

For multiplayer, and multiplayer coop though, you just CANNOT beat H.S.M.E. 3.0

SWAT 4 Gold comes with TSS built in. There is a non-TSS version of the mod floating around, by why would you refuse to play SWAT 4 Gold when it's like $20? Who hates grenade launchers?
