Sadly, they don't do that, but it is pretty funny to see 20 zombies run after him and start killing him... |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 351 Joined: 13 Oct 2008     | Where's the option for dancing around the tank blasting it with ammo at 4 feet while it rediculously attempts to kill you? |

Exactly this. Except half the time I get smokered/huntered and think to myself "man I really should see this coming considering this happens so many times..."
Bile bombs are more of a double edged sword. After its effects wear off the horde again realizes how tasty you all are, and now they are all formed up on the tank ready to swarm/smash you down. |

Press Junketeer  Posts: 463 Joined: 15 Aug 2009     | I molotov my team and then run in like RAMBO! |
Beat Writer  Posts: 207 Joined: 2 Sep 2009    | You forgot the option, Game lags so you don't know it's there untill it smacks you in the face.(While at the same time yell "OH SHIT" in you microphone) |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 386 Joined: 10 Sep 2008    | Whe I first saw hi with my firend mark, we looked at eachother and just said "H@x" |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 78 Joined: 18 Oct 2009   | Sit there and laugh because my Teletubby mod just makes this game 20% more fun, never gets old hearing "Time for Teletubbies, time for Teletubbies!" when the Tank appears, then just laughing my ass off as he screams EH OH at me. |
Muckraker  Posts: 285 Joined: 14 May 2009   | Definitely bait the tank to climb stuff. It is especially useful on expert mode where a Tank can down you in 1-2 hits. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 356 Joined: 24 Apr 2008  | I invariably flame him up, and run for my life. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1151 Joined: 19 Mar 2009   | A combination of 1 and 3. I'd throw the molotov silently (I don't have a mic) and run like hell. |
On the Record  Posts: 6153 Joined: 12 Feb 2009   | Usally I would chuck a molotov at him and start spraying at him backwords, but I'm also the only person on my friends list who refers to the Tank as "Two Tons of Fun!" |

I know you |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1766 Joined: 27 Jul 2009   | I slowly type "There is a tank behind you, friend!" but by the time I actually send the message my teammate has been hurled 50 feet across the map. Curse my not-having-a-mic. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 797 Joined: 18 Feb 2009   | Set him on fire and hide, if your teammates are dumb enough to fire at an Expert tank that has been set on fire they deserve to die. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 718 Joined: 26 Mar 2008   | I plan for 3, usually end up with 4, then go to plan 8. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1165 Joined: 9 Jan 2009    | BACKPEDAL! Backpedal for your life! While shooting it of course. And bitching about how the entire magazine didn't kill it. |

Muckraker  Posts: 330 Joined: 29 Sep 2009    | Shotgun his face open, of course! Its just a game, so I'd have the most fun I can. And I say suicidal actions = fun |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 850 Joined: 6 Jan 2009 | Option three, then option two. Not as effective if you have a shotgun though... Unless I'm right behind him and he hasn't notice the chunks of health I've been tearing away from him. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1055 Joined: 17 Jul 2008 | Voted Rambo. If I have the auto-shotty, I try to get as point-blank to him as possible while unloading my entire clip into him. I won't get as close with the AR, but I still try to get close so that I can unload and deal the most damage as possible. Most of the time it doesn't turn out well for me, but I go down knowing I did the most I could. Usually, if it isn't me dying in a blaze of glory, then some one else just dies. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1159 Joined: 1 Apr 2009   | I remember its a game and that there is no consequence and then I shoot at it like it was a kitten, although L4D kinda sucks a lot so I don't play it too much anymore, like at all. |
Muckraker  Posts: 277 Joined: 20 Sep 2008 | I always just yell something along the lines of "OH MY GOD" or "HOLY CRAP" right before I immediately back pedal and shoot. If it's a particularly narrow corridor I may just run until I can get to a good spot to engage. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 639 Joined: 27 Oct 2009  | ROFL at the newest addition to the poll: "Jump while the tank hits you in the hope he'll send you to safety". I've never done that, but I do have a habit of jumping too much while playing. One time I jumped as a Hunter pounced me, somehow the physics engine decided to throw me halfway across the map with the Hunter on me. I died :( |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1728 Joined: 23 Jan 2009  | I have very recently gotten into the whole - make the tank go for my buddy, and then just pass off the tank always going for him as : "Aw he must like you!" |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 418 Joined: 18 Oct 2008  | Run backwards and shoot the motherfucker best plan so far seeing as your teammates will help you (unless they're dicks) |
Nobel Laureate  Posts: 24490 Joined: 24 Aug 2009    | I take it on like a man...HEADFIRST!!!! |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 770 Joined: 16 Apr 2009  | Every time I've come across a Tank online, my team and I crouch a good distance away and pummel the bitch with the Assault Rifle, it's dead by the time we finish our first clips. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 766 Joined: 29 Mar 2009  | Depends primarily on where the tanks spawns - if it's on say BH4 down by the warehouse, set up in there with gas cans/mollies/petrol tanks ready to whack him if he goes for the forklift and wait him out until he swaps to AI. If he goes in, maneuver around the tables while hammering 'im. In levels where you can easily and safely retreat, like BH3 trainyard (run back to the stairs, run up the stairs and even farther back until tank dies) that is certainly the best option. Finally sometimes you just have to kite him around outside while hammering him and using cover (BH Finale, DT finale, NM finale, actually all the finales, as well as parts of DA2, DA3, DT3 and DT4). |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 112 Joined: 10 Sep 2009   | I usually throw my molotov i've been saving for just that very occasion, miss, run away and laugh my ass off as my friends facepalm (i have no proof of this, but they always let out a big sigh afterwards, so that's like a verbal facepalm). |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1728 Joined: 23 Jan 2009 |
L4D can be competitive? Is it in any leagues? edit: also what do the acronyms mean? BH..DT etc. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 369 Joined: 15 Apr 2009  | woooo Molotov! |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 750 Joined: 4 Jan 2008  | I play expert only, so I always have a molotov ready. On another note, I'm probably one of the few people not getting L4D2 apparently. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1552 Joined: 6 Oct 2008   | Molotov that fucker! Why? Everything's better when it's on fire. |

Yaeh usually mess up the molotov so...
usually run backwards and then get trapped in a corner and beaten to death.
