Bored at work so these are the things I can suggest to you all who are having a hard time surviving.
1. Learn the maps solo- This is probably the most important, if you're ever the last one alive and it round depends on you, your going to know how to play with no help, also you'll learn loops on your own and if you get 4 good solo players in a room, each can hold their own in different corners of the map, thinning out the horde.
2. Run not revive- I know it sounds harsh, but if you feel the least bit uncomfortable about picking someone up, leave them. Would you rather bleed out and come back the next round or end the game because you have a friggin ray gun?
3. Perks>Box: Screw that box, focus on knifing and learn how many bullets it takes into earlier rounds to get the final knife kill, get your juggernog, then sickle. Own with that until round 11 and you can go mad on a box if you like. Most shotguns are one hit kills well into round 11 too in case you find yourself cornered.
4. No ammo, no problem- Many times I see people going down and complaining they didnt have ammo, ditch whatever weapon you have and get a wall weapon, most SMGs pay for themselves and then some, get a weapon with rapid fire, and you'll have enough to get through those doors and hit a box if your lucky.
5.Get a mic- I hear people say you can function without one, but not nearly as well just get a mic. If you go down and dont have a mic, how many zombies are at your position? Where did the run off from? I never understood how you can have all the map packs and no mic...stop being cheap lol
agree with most of this.
1. that or co op with a good friend. don't search for serious groups on forums, when u've never been passed round 10.
2. to true. if u can get to them n they are all clear then yeah get them. if u have pap'd balistics knife, or something to really help them (maybe monkey bombs or gersch) then get them. if u see a big cloud near them, don't play the hero. it's hard for teammates to get back on there feet, but a lot more possible then a total game over.
3. If you can't rock with a wall gun no perks to round 25 (ascension/kno) and maybe round 15 on cotd, then u need more practice. I don't even touch jug till round maybe 18 cotd on average. With wall guns it's all about headshots. if you are one of those "aim at the chest" or even "aim at the pelvis" players, u will still get plenty of points, but u won't kill them fast enough.
4. kinda agree and disagree. on ascension/kino aboslutely. on cotd, a lot of times u can't stop running from the horde, to get a smg, depending on where u are. mp4 might get you trapped, and in later rounds they spawn so much, that running to the drop off point from the mp40, can get you cornered. So it mainly depends what part of the map you are on. bottom line tho. if u have 0/0 in both guns, especially on cotd, then u need to buy a gun somehow. on ascension/kino at least theres traps.
5. i'm not a mic user. i've got far on all maps (cept 5 i never really played that). would it be better, sure. but guess what, i'm "a mute" so i can't use one even if i wanted to. whatever reason, plenty of people don't have mics. maybe they are grown up with bills and don't have there mommy/daddy to buy mics. maybe they are grown up, with a job, but have priorities (bills, family, food, water, etc) that they think are more important then a video game. sure a mic is only about 15 bucks, but to some, 15 bucks is what 1000$ is to others. unemployment is up, most jobs are minimum wage, etc. You can't claim that even 1% of zombie players are 100k a year salary workers.
on this point tho. if you are going to revive someone especially in cotd, almost anywhere that they are, you can decide if it's worth it or not. if they are on the other side of the map, by the time u get to them, zombies will be clear from taht area. it's mainly the zombies on you/coming to you that you have to worry about. everyone usually runs the entire map, so just do that, if u run into them, so be it. Most areas u can actually see how many are near them. begin area u can see from the lighthouse, the ship with the catapult, the area u land with the catapult, etc. yeah u can't see it everywhere, but u usually don't stick around in one place anyways. ultimately a mic HELPS, but is not necissary. and if u do think it's completely neccissary, ask the dozens of players WITH mics, that I (non mic user) have had to carry. In my experience about 80% of mic users only use it to ***** n moan like "guys rvive me for the 50th time" 15% of it also ***** n moan but in a more demanding way, things like "oh you guys are such **** cause u let me die rather then getting us all killed" only 5% (and i'm being generous, might be more like 2%) actually use it as team work. things like "behind you" or "stay here i'll take the mass amount with me" etc.
