Subject: RE: ITT we discuss how to play infected in versus

Regarding playing the specials:

Aiming high works for most of the infected.

The boomer will get better range by aiming about 45 degrees.

The jockey will jump farther by aiming 45 degrees up. If you aim at the person, you get about 3 feet of distance. You can jump fences and jump onto trailers with the jockey.

The hunter also jumps farther with a 45 angle. The hunter can also bounce off walls if you do it right. Google videos to see this. I can never manage it.

The death charge is great, but even better is if you can manage to bowl someone else over. The mall finale, the stairs to the third floor, if you charge them from the top to the half-level below and hit a second person, they will probably fly over the edge and land down next to the car: instant kill. Escalators are great for this too. Try to get more than one person on the escalator.

The real trick to this game is to figure out how to spawn as close to them as possible and the last possible moment. One funny place to do this is in the concert level, about 10 feet away from the door to the safe room is a 4 inch wide pole. Try spawning here with a charger. They see you pop in, but if you charge immediately, they can't really do anything about it. Its more for shits and giggles though. The rest of this level forces you spawn ridiculously far away.
