    If you light the tank on fire, just run away, he dies after 30 seconds of fire regardless of health.

    Otherwise run AND shoot. Preferably a shotgun. Use your speed to your advantage and turn a lot. Also don't get hit by normal zombies, or it's over.

    In Advanced it's 40 seconds. Or maybe Expert.

    I think it's 40 seconds all around, since fire deals damage based on % of health. It deals 1/40th of the lifebar every second.

    According to whatever file deals with stats and such, it's different for each difficulty.

    Yes, that's exactly what happens. Seizes up for a few seconds at a time. It's rather bad when, say, a hunter has just pounced or a horde has just spawned. It's also just really obnoxious.

    I get it probably 10-15 times during any given campaign on average. I was trying to play No Mercy yesterday and froze maybe 6 times in the first level, so I gave up.

    If you set your resolution to Borderless Window and set it to your desktop res, it should fix the stuttering. It didn't do anything to my framerate, makes alt-tabbing easier, and I actually forgot I even used the setting until the other day.

    I looked up IMDB out of boredom and found out some cool shizz about the voice actors. As everyone knows, the voice of Zoey is also the voice of Cortana in Halo 3, but let's talk about the others.

    Bill is Father Grigori. This is unexciting, so let's move on.

    The guy who does the Helecopter Pilot is the same voice for Pyro and Spy.

    Houseboat Radio guy is Sniper.

    Airplane guy is Heavy/Demo

    Church guy is Scout!

    Actually I watched that before, but I think Jerry Miculek was better. Revolver, 6 shots, reload and 6 shots again in under 3 seconds. (Speedloader was used, of course, but STILL)

    That's a spy I want on my team.

    So I'm playing No Mercy with a bunch of pubbies right? We start off infected. Awesome. But the other team is pro. They aren't going to waltz through the door like normal people; they're going to drop through the skylight like badasses.

    Unfortunately for them, Bill is getting a little slow in his old age. I nab him with the smoker tongue before he can jump through, and my boomer buddy vomits right on him. Perfect. By the time the survivors get back, Bill is nearly incapped. The boomer is recharged, so he vomits on them while our hunters jump in and take a couple distracting swipes at the rest of the group.

    And that's when my foot hit the surge protector.

    That's awesome. i wish there was an option to make them speak in TF2 voices.

    Or if Valve had thrown a BONK! in when you open the door to the saferoom. Seems like something they would do, but I guess they didn't want to mess with the atmosphere.

    Your guide to getting certain achievements easily:

    1. If you want the achievement where you use no healthpacks at all, but get incapp'd mysteriously and against your will, all you have to do is get a health pack, go idle, let the bot heal, then come back. Voila! You still get the achievement! This was proved by the 3rd law of Roland, on the 13th of December.

    2. If you want to get through a finale without taking any damage, easy is the way to go, but good friggin luck. There are many very small variables that make this extremely difficult. You take no damage from Friendly Fire, so it looks like you've taken no damage at all, but this is a lie, I'm pretty sure that is what made us fail today, as proved by the 6th law of c r y o h a z a r d, on the 13th of December.

    3. If you want to get through a campaign with no incaps, be friggin aware of ladders. A slight mis-step, and you'll fall 5 feet, getting incap'd. This has been proved by the 2nd law of Roland, on the 13th of December.

    4. For pistols only, just turn it on easy, and go with others who already have it, they can use weapons, so just hang behind them. If a tank comes, let them deal with it. No problem. This was proved by the 1st law of Icemopper, on the 13th of December.

    There were multiple times we got through the entire finale with next to no damage, or no discernible damage, and we still didn't get this achievement. It could be thanks to custom servers, or something like that, but the first time I was still doing pistols only, and only one guy got hit twice...

    Oh well, maybe another time.

    Okay, sorry if this has already been discussed to death, but I haven't been able to follow this thread as much as I'd like. I was originally going to get this on Steam, but my gaming PC died back at the end of September, and I have no idea when I'll be able to revive it (dead AGP slot, which pretty much means I'd bee foolish not to just overhaul the whole thing).

    As such, I've been contemplating getting it on the 360, but I'd rather not play with pubbies. So how is the 360 version's following here? And will I just be wishing I were playing it on PC, or does the console version do it justice? The previews I've seen so far have me cautiously optimistic.

    I don't have either of those things set. Like I said, I set up the server with no password or anything, just as a exclusive server for the Steam group. I haven't touched those settings since I set them up. Then one day my server (and several others) magically stopped showing up.
