Unfortunately my favorite CoD4 server has been hit with lots of lag over the past few months, causing me to switch games for the moment until they fix the problem. Hence this Tales From the Battlefield!
It's been a while since I played L4D2, but I can say it really is satisfying to smash a zombies head off with a frying pan, or simply lay into a running group of 20 or more zombies with the AK-47.
This time around I was playing with my brother and a couple of friends. None of us had played within recent memory so we were all a tad rusty. To add to the fun, we set the difficulty on advanced. That was dumb. Surprisingly we did well for the first four-ish chapters (the campaign was The Parish). What started to kill us however, were the special infected that started spawning (tanks, witches, etc). During a specific part, when the other three guys were using all melee weapons, I was using the Combat Shotgun (semi-automatic if I remember correctly).
We were up on a second story floor and while the rest of my team was inside bashing zombie brains I was on the second story porch (I don't know what else to call it). Over the noise of spilling guts and crunching bones, I heard a sort of "crying" noise. I immediately recognized this as the tell-tale sign of a witch. As of yet, I couldn't see where she was, but it was daytime, so she would be standing and wandering around. I fortunately remembered to wait for my friends before heading down to find her. Now the bright side to my friends weaponry was that they wouldn't have a stray shot that just might startle the witch (after all, they were using melee weapons). I however, was using a shotgun and I immediately remembered that one shot to the back of a witch SHOULD kill her immediately. As we moved on from the porch and across the top of a bus, the witch grew louder. We were getting close. I stayed to the back and simply waited for my friends to kill the zombies ahead while I tried to locate the witch. I did. In a walkthrough shed, she was standing. I walked behind her and put three blasts into her back. AND SHE DIED. I don't think I even needed the other two shells, but I've been on the wrong end of that exchange before and I didn't want it to happen again. When the Witch-Hunter screen came around in the safe-house, I had dealt over 800 damage by myself while my friends had dealt 0.
Arcones: 1
Witch: 0
Dead Island is way better.
Is it really? I hadn't heard that many good reports on it (maybe you really can't trust the media these days (total sarcasm :D ))
Hey Arcones, can I ask you a question; Does Moddb tell you when other members you're tracking make blog posts?
Because there's a lot of content on your profile that I miss out on reading, and I don't actually know if it's a bug, or a weird glitch or something. :(
I don't get updated on Arc's blogs either. Only his images and music/videos. I don't think it does :P
@Salsa - ModDB does tell me when others post blogs (in fact, if they even post a review I get told), so I think it might be a glitch, but I dunno. Also, I usually only get told when it's in relation to a group... So, I really don't know :P
I'll ask one of the Head Honchos around here when I get a moment :)
In the meantime I'll add something to my videos or pictures or something that updates you :D
So I guess I'm not the only one :), thanks Arcones :D
My pleasure my friend!
I'll tell you something strange; I just got an update from one of the users I'm tracking, it was an article that they posted back in 2009 :P so, what the hell Moddb?
Oh man XD
Thank you ModDB, for your supreme glitchiness. You never cease to amaze us.
haha, nice story bro....but what difficulty do you play on lol? In the games I jammed a witch is much tougher than that ><
And yeah blogs updates are dodgy...I mean I updated mine...but no1 noticed =\
It was on Advanced or some such craziness :D
But apparently it's like the weakspot or something... Same thing for the Hunters in Halo (shoot 'em in the back)
