Cool! Maybe I could finally get some campaigns done on Expert! I don't understand how I find Advanced too easy yet Expert is too hard.

I find that expert has a lot more to do with your teammates. FF is a killer in expert, literally.

The lobbies were a little buggy last night. I guess I was showing up in a lobby even half way through a game. Maybe tonight will be easier. I'm in the same boat as Whiskey, 3/4 to the achievement but as far as I know I've finished them all... so I have to do them all again (and again, and again).

I think it's because I'm used to the Infected hitting me. 10 damage per swipe is a little steep.

**WhiskeySix** · 04-17-2009, 09:09 PM

it's actually 20dmg per swipe to the front and 10/swipe out of your field of vision

I'm around and looking for an expert run... hit me up on steam.

Oh, and I've beat at least 2 expert camps and have nothing to show for it as far as the achievements say. =(

That's why I don't last in Expert.

I'm really used to getting damaged and compensating my aim, a bad place to be.

yeah, expert's played a different way - you gotta be super tight, and go slow. if you stop in one place for too long you get hordes from the director, so you do have to keep moving, but you end up progressing room-by-room, or at a walking pace way more than full run.

here's the formation we tried to use on BH.. particularly the first level where there's tons of blind attacks out of the trees:

It's just too hard for all 4 guys to keep 360 awareness AND not shoot each other, so basically we setup with two point men, each with a 90-degree area of responsibility. Then, each of those point-men has a 'body guard' in the back. They shoot over the shoulder and protect the side/rear.

Anyone online want to do an expert camp? I'm bored and waiting.

steamid is "thepensivepoet"

**.tritone.** · 04-18-2009, 03:10 AM

good game, guys

**WhiskeySix** · 04-18-2009, 03:43 AM

yeah gg's

Right after you guys left, namebot, avs, and jb4 jumped in to help me finish it, which we did. unfortunately that didn't give me all 4 campaigns either. So I've done them all twice except death toll, which I did finish the one time. Guess I'll try that next - if that doesn't work, I guess I'm just SOL

Wait, I thought we all crashed out. You started over, or you didn't crash?

Steam is getting stoopider. I think it's infected.

You and Eleven crashed, and tritone had to go.

Belated Gratz to Whiskey, he finally got his "What Are You Trying to Prove?" last night on Death Toll.

thanks, and GG

it was a bit unexpected: I actually completed them all before, but for some reason it glitched out and didn't give me the achievement. The latest update, where you can see the sub-goals for achievements didn't help! hahaha, it said "3/4" in the progress bar, but then in the expanded view only showed checkmarks beside no mercy and blood harvest
