Advanced headshot training

I am thinking of a challenge

... its to encourage headshots

single pistol only

second pistol = not allowed (don't even pick it up)
tier 2 weapons = not allowed (don't even pick it up)
ammo resupply points = allowed (but useless as single pistol has infinite ammo)
molitov = allowed
pipe bomb = not allowed (don't even pick it up)
health pack in safe room = allowed
health pack found during level = not allowed (don't even pick it up)
pills found during level = allowed
respawn during level = allowed
difficulty level = advanced
flashlight = allowed
music = not allowed (that is turned off in options, makes the tank more of a surprise etc)

I am looking at tweeking these rules in the next week and then next weekend (31st Jan & 1st Feb) during all 4 campaigns in euro hrs

who is interested ?
what rule tweeks ?

the game is who gets the most headshots at end of campaign

PS
by the way are the TG coop servers down ? I cant see them in the steam group or on game-monitor or connect though IP

Fantastic idea!! I'm definitely interested, though I can't guarantee availability.

Indeed they are - we're doing a massive server restructuring (to address some lag issues we've been seeing and better leverage our massive steamgroup) The servers and a new server-guide should be up later today!

NTY.

Edit: And by no thank you I mean that will result in horrific death for the survivors if an even semi-competent infected gets the tank.
Edit2: Oh, Co-op. Nevermind!

I'd love to do it - I still don't have a pistols only achievement!

Cool Re: Advanced headshot training

Nice idea.

I have had music off on my end since I loaded the game. I wanted to get a better grip on hordes and such...it's paid off.

Avs told me he did the same so he could listen to his Miley Cyrus Itunes -

This is true. She is related to my cousin, so not only do I support her in this fashion, I am also a big fan! Plus this gives me something to start a conversation with my nieces.

This event will be on the new Steam group coop server, where we can control who joins, ie steam group people

Might want to consider this:


Headshot only mode (enforces headshots to kill zombies)

Re: Advanced headshot training

I'd love to do this. It'd be fun. Plus it would be fun to see how hard it would be to do it haha. Always up for a challenge.
