WANT TO PLAY!

Damn, that might be worth picking up then. It got kinda boring with just the 3 specials

A great combo is Smoker pulls, Boomer vomits on team trying to save pulled survivor, charger plows through the group picking up one survivor and slamming him into an obstacle, while disorienting the group briefly, then jockey mounts one boomed dude and runs really far away, and spitter waits for someone to go down and melts them. Hunters just crowd control now. High pouncing is still epic though.

Oh, and I forgot the most important new feature:

Weather!

Daytime scenes (before, it used to just be night scenes)
Fog (seriously dense fog, you can't see 5 feet in front of you)
Rain (seriously heavy rain, with lightning, thunder, and wind... best implementation I've seen in an FPS to date)
etc...

They're very well executed effects too. Can't wait to see what else it brings. I'd like to see snow effects (though it's been overdone in other games).

The AI is also far superior. Tanks no longer beat on a downed survivor like a mindless drone, they move onto the other survivors like a normal player on Versus. This makes for no easy way to deal with tanks anymore, except with fire.

To those that have played multiplayer, can the Jockey and Charger special infected run survivors off of cliffs?

Or are there not many cliffs in the newer maps anyway?


Edit: Also, are the squeaky clown zombies playable at all?

12/28/2009 7:26:54 PM

Got this for christmas but haven't played yet since I went skiing right after.

^^^^ Jockeys can steer survivors off ledges, Chargers can charge survivors off ledges, Smokers can pull off ledges, and the stun effect from Boomer explosions and Hunter pounces can push off ledges.

You cannot play any of the campaign specific special zombies including the clown.

^correct. Also, the stun effect from chargers on the people standing nearby a successful charge can push them off ledges/into water.

picked this game up recently and have loved every minute of it. The new weapons are awesome...cracking a zombie open with a crowbar is quite satisfying. My only complaint is the fact that they added a cinematic "preview" of the game at the beginning, but that was all. It would have been nice to see some during the actual gameplay, especially since the opening one was 100% bad ass.

to people still play Scavenge? i played a couple games today and it was a blast. is there still a large community who play it?

12/30/2009 3:33:19 PM

1/2/2010 4:47:15 PM

1/2/2010 6:36:33 PM

1/3/2010 9:43:59 AM

so... any ideas?

1/3/2010 2:53:46 PM

I can't find a god damn server anywhere that is worth a fuck, anyone playing tonight?

1/5/2010 9:21:36 PM

I really enjoy survival mode, but having a mic is a MUST... I am really curious as to how some teams have lasted like 5000 minutes the way the zombies/tanks just keep coming. exploit?

2/22/2010 8:19:36 PM

considering 5000 minutes is just a hair under three and a half days, I think it's fair to say it's a glitch
