I am terrible at this game. Seriously. Awful. Miserable.

It's pretty fun though.

Alright I'm getting better at this game.

For those wondering, the gameplay is a mix of Left 4 Dead and Gears of War, with some of its own flavors thrown in. Pretty fun stuff.

I am not on the last level of hard difficulty  baddood;

those little infection bugs are a pain if someone actually gets infected.

I am playing my teams medic and have the healing gun and everything so I am pretty good at it.

I am level 17 now.

I also got my team fortress 2 hat  :3

Well first time: chose medic, ran around shot some things, fell into a hole, sat out the WHOLE round, which was long as fuck. Why is there not any respawn points or something like in L4D2? Played on Easy.

Second time, mission required a tech something, chose that guy because NO ONE switched classes. Then someone turned the difficulty up out of nowhere, and I died as soon as we started. Then the mission ended and they all screamed at me for dying although I'm level 1 and it was my first time.

Regardless: booted up TF2 got my Alien hat, put it on my Pyro. everything went better than expected

Practicing offline until I know what I'm doing then hopping in people's games since it's very popular.

Once you get up to level 7 I think and get the tesla gun you'll do great.

It has a massive amount of ammo and can kill things pretty nicely.

Then you will get your med gun and it is awesome. Though the med gun runs out of ammo FAST.

Seriously it's like oh there's something behind me I think I'll turn around and melee it. OH NO BITCH DIDN'T MOVE YOUR MOUSE FAR ENOUGH NOW YOU'RE FUCKED.

Still fun. I like playing the tech.

The tesla gun got nerfed if anybody rememebrs the game.

Or cares.

The fifth level is made easier by having the precision rifle. You can shoot the parasite eggs through the door, meaning you don't need to waste time at all on that part cracking it open.
