Zombie unit help/tutorial
Posted: Wed Feb 16, 2011 6:29 pm
Hi!
I just recently started playing Left4DoD, and i must say, it was one of the more fun games i've played in a very long time! Playing as the allied survivors is a great time, and i just recently playing as zombies; which is very fun, but i'm having a very hard time figuring out how to use the zombie units. For example:
Emo: is he invisible when he spawns until you right-click? When i try to blow up, many times it says: "too many allied soldiers around"... wouldn't that be the point to take out as many soldiers as possible with his primary weapon, or is it talking about spawning? i am confuz.. =)
Grey Dude: i LOVE playing as this guy, spawning zombies on unsuspecting players. Do you get kills for the zombies you spawn that kill? sometimes my regen time seems faster as well, do you get a regenerative bonus when you or your spawns make a kill?
The guy that throws exploding skulls: As an ally, i get killed by these damn exploding skulls ALL THE TIME... However, no matter how long i play him, i don't seem to EVER get kills by using these weapons.. what am i doing wrong?
I think it would be great when you're picking your class for zombies, it would tell you descriptions of each class, and have the right names(emo, anarchist, etc) listed.
To sum up, i would love it if there was a unit tutorial for zombies and allies alike. Something that describes their abilities, powerups(like zombie blood and hooch), and even some general unit strategies.. Does anything like this exist on the site?
BTW as a sidenote, i'm a GoldSrc/Source mapper for the last few years, and i'd love to help out if anyone needs help on custom maps or whatev. I can map and model static props, but my specialty is adding small detail to maps, as well building elaborate world props.
Thanks for a great game, and many thanks in advance for any help with my noob!
