    Since a few people around have this game now, and its about to be officially released for the people in the uk tomorrow, I was interested in seeing how many people would like to join for a game of versus.

    My aim to get get a nice 4v4 going on within the clan, with maybe some outside help from friends if we don't have the members. I haven't picked a date or time for this yet, I'm just trying to get an idea of how many people would be interested in partaking in the idea.

    Boomer is useless by itself, but really not.

    we do have a steam usergroup, which would make finding who all is online much easier ;P if anyone needs an invite, I'm pretty much always on just poke me and I'll toss an invite if I am at the comp at the time. Name is the same as I always use

    Boomer bile effects have been increased in two. You can't see ANYTHING this time around. So you can use it to both stall the team while the others are respawning or blind the whole team so a jokey/smoker can pull teammates apart without them knowing for a good 5 seconds.

    Though the puke is still a bit buggy and misses point blank a lot.

    It doesn't seem like the boomer bile attracts as big of a horde as before. However, I don't think that's the point with the boomer now. They definitely made it much more disorienting when you get hit by the bile (can't see anything at all). Follow that up with a good spit, smoker pull, charge, or jockey and you can split the survivors up really well.


    I still think that the boomer is essential to a good ambush.

    Btw, the hunter is the most tactically gimped of all the infected.

    Charger FTW - Even though I most of the time miss the charge and pummel, nothing beats bitch slapping somebody in submission and then charge away to freedom!

    And I absolutly hate the Jockey - looks like some scottish football trainer gone awol or something.

    People tend to think to use the charger from long range and they always miss. Spawn really close to the survivors and charge them away from the squad. Just have it lined up for the most open area so you just keep going and going. Also the charger only stuns people who he charges through once he has someone in his grab so lining up the first player in the team and slamming through the rest of them is also a good idea.

    Yer, I find charger and jockey are a really good combo, you charge one away, and while the others are stunned you grab another and go the other way. They'll have to pick who to go over and the other one will take even more dmg ^^

    We'll have to see about that!

    I personally don't think any one person can be good in this game, its a team effort really. If you're good but your team is crap, then you're crap :p

    But still, its nice to see another person interested in this.
