mystrdat's Versus Team Tactics
http://forums.steampowered.com/forum...d.php?t=790030
I did a skim through of what he had to say and its pretty much a basic guide to some competitive concepts in playing versus which is useful whether you are playing for fun or to win (or both).
There are some mistakes in it, but mystrdat has taken a considerable amount of his time to troll the forums and post randomly wherever he can throw his 2 cents at, earning him a high reputation score in the forums. Though I do have to say, his weapon choices are terrible!

Re: mystrdat's Versus Team Tactics
2 shotguns and 2 assault rifles? What's wrong with that? I also agree with him that the hunting rifle is pretty useless in VS, but awesome in coop. Or maybe I just suck.

Re: mystrdat's Versus Team Tactics
what he said ^^^
I find myself doing too much FF with auto-shotties... plus they're useless at range (killing smoker, rescuing pounced survivor, hitting tank from safe distance, etc).

Re: mystrdat's Versus Team Tactics
A balance based on the team is usually more effective than generalizing all teams.
For instance, if I am in a group I often play Third-Man team defense (shotgun for areas not susceptible to boss infecteds, rifle for those that are, but I'm not one for the hunting rifle), and I am usually the one with the most 'protects'.
Some people can't play that way, and prefer the third man to simply cover the back and fourth man.

Re: mystrdat's Versus Team Tactics
Yeah, you just have to be careful. It is helps if your team mates don't run in front of you while you are in teh act of firing rapidly. Granted, this happens to me a lot no matter WHAT gun I'm using. Dumb team mates. It's NEVER my fault... nope!

Re: mystrdat's Versus Team Tactics
Assaut rifles are nice.. and NEEDED..but nothing erks me more then an Assault Junkie who blows through ammo..and then is pistol only.. At least with the Shotty you got enough Ammo to run the round... Now if they had a 1 or 3 round burst option on the Auto..well then.. we have a winneer...

Re: mystrdat's Versus Team Tactics
Yeah so I had disagreed with his weapon loadout because I believe only 1 assault rifle is needed (and that guy basically can take out any smoker/hunter/boomer at range) or save a teammate.
I also think the hunting rifle in versus is invaluable with someone who can guess the position of the opposing team.
As for the auto, you can always script that (though I rather not have to switch between full auto and burst).

Re: mystrdat's Versus Team Tactics
I use shottys almost always...
- Can still shot things when a normal zombie hits you
- Better for my usually high ping on US Servers
- Quick disposal of attached hunters
- Can alternate shots and melee swings better
I often intentionally friendly fire with the shotgun to free my teammates. If he´s getting hit by 10 zombies around him or by some of my pellets... won´t make a hugh difference but he can move around again and is free to help me.
