I dont know about you but, The Boomer pisses me the hell off, out of all the Boss Zombies, he's the one that i have trouble with, just hearing his rancid belching from a mile away, to only find hes right next door, waiting for you to show up, and spawn a mad stack of zombies on your ass, damn, he makes you vigilant thats for sure. To make things worse the AI if being used have a hard time detecting him.

If he was all of a sudden gone from the game entirely, i wouldnt miss him. I would miss the Witch though, she makes multiple playthroughs really worth while.

So which Boss Zombie gets on your nerves? including versus if you like...

I like all the "bosses" ...they can all get on my nerves, but isn't that the point? I love them all and probably love the Boomer most of all.

Of course thats the point, who's to say its a bad thing. I Mean i love the Witch...because she can knock me down in one hit!! thats what i like! the more zombies the better! i love almost dying in this game, its what you're meant to do, but the Boomer...god damn i hate him. In the good way, in the "im playing on expert dont piss me off" way

I don't really dislike any of the boss zombies, but the AI Director has an uncanny talent for placing the Witch right in the center of narrow corridors--more often than not, corridors down which I have to travel.

As survivors, the boss I hate to encounter is the Boomer. I always misjudge the clean kill distance.

As infected, the boss I hate to play is the Hunter. The pounce always locks on to the wrong person (I'm really tired of trying to attack the last person standing and landing on the incapacitated person next to him, or stealing a kill from a smoker because I tried to jump over his target) and unless your team is working together or the enemy team really sucks, you're likely to die without doing much damage if any.

Yeah its those moments i love, you just end up bitching at the AI Director " WHY did you put that there!?""

I love to hate all the infected, but I guess I'll have to say the Smoker. You're working to fight off the zombies swarming around you and all the sudden you start getting pulled backwards and every time that happens I'm just thinking "Wait, WTF is happening?!" By that point I can no longer fight back and realize I'm getting dragged away.

I mean, I'll give the director it's due--it's a wonderful feature that I hope is implemented into more games in the future--but seeing the Witch cradling herself on the floor of this tiny hallway, when just past her I can see an open area apt enough for a full-scale battle, it's just heartbreaking. "

I hate playing as the Smoker. The tongue doesn't disable survivors quickly enough, and 99.999% of the time the only useful Function of the Smoker is to pick off some lone survivor, and then you still get killed 50% of the time after the tongue has latched on because the guy turns and blasts you with a shotty.

I Will say the Tank is a one said juggernaut, on expert he's a real monster, i wouldn't know about versus since thats not my kinda thing.

The tank, the only really dangerous zombie.

Apart from the Tank, they're all really easy to defeat if you stick together - even on Expert.

I actually have no idea what the Tank plays like in Versus mode.  I can't imagine it being as destructive as it's campaign counterpart, though."

I love playing as the smoker but I also hate going against it. I hate that sometimes it can be at places where you can even see it on a building and it will kill you because your teammates can't see it, but still, this game kicks ass.

I'll say that Smoker seems to show up at the worst possible moment, every time.

I honestly probably hate the tank more than any other boss...especially on Expert. Trying to kill that thing on Expert playing solo can be a bitch at times.

I've seen some footage of it in Versus and, although I'm not entirely sure the person playing was any good, it doesn't seem anyway near as much as a monster as it does in campaign. One survivor back-pedalling manages to kill it with an M16 while only getting hit once and not going down."

I'd say the biggest pain in the ass is the Smoker, but I love him all the same.

A tank on Versus in close quarters is still a recipe for doom.

That darn smoker... It just has to ruin everyone's fun. The other zombies are nice to him but... he doesnt really get invited to any parties...

I hate the smokers. They're pretty bad (as in worthless).

"That darn smoker... It just has to ruin everyone's fun. The other zombies are nice to him but... he doesnt really get invited to any parties..."

All the zombies are fun to play as in vs. if you have a team that works well together. The tank is a real asshole on expert.

Haha, so hes like the simulant from Red Dwarf series 7....

Ok i just totally nerded my self out there...whoa!"

The stupid hunters, they are overly fast and i always take damage from it.

I hate the tank. It does an unfair amount of damage indoors, and it's just not fun to kill.

The witch is hot. I'd do her.

"The witch is hot. I'd do her."

In VS mode, the damage dealt by infected is approximately equal to Normal difficulty. This means that tanks aren't that tough to take down, and you have to abso-fucking-lutely mow into the survivors to take them down for good.

Like, as a hunter, you pounce on someone, you have to swipe for a good 7-8 seconds uninterrupted to down them, then another 25 seconds uninterrupted to kill them for good.

you have to get someone alone for 35 seconds to kill them nine times out of ten. This is freakin' impossible most of the time.

The only way you can do it is if you get like a boomer to go in and vommit / explode on a bunch of them, then when they are fighting them, get the two hunters to pounce on two people, then the smoker to grab a third.

This usually allows you to down at least one or two of them, and you have to do this at least 3-4 times to take an average survivor team down.

It's possible to kill them in one swift blow, but only if the survivors are really really idiotic or the infected are extremely skilled.

The biggest problem with Vs mode is that everybody knows how to play as survivors, but very few people are actually skilled at playing as the infected, and they aren't that great on average at coordinating and finding weaknesses in the enemies. Likewise, when you get a team of 4 people who know each other together, they will usually wipe the floor in the game over and over again due to superior coordination.

This is not necessarily a design flaw, but it is immensely frustrating when you're stuck with incompetent team members who make the A-Team look like good shots and refuse to cooperate with you. It's also very awesome and extremely fun when YOU are the ones doing the dominating... until some crybabies from the other side start quitting.

Stopped watching when Kochanski came in and ruined it all."

There's downsides to all the bosses I think when both playing as or against them.

I dislike the hunter most. He always seems to target me for some reason. :(

She's hot when I throw a molotov on her.

The thing I don't get is how they know she's a zombie, there's plenty of girls nowerdays that sob all the time, are anerexic and wear pretty much nothing.

Exactly...how do they know she isn't just some MCR fan?"

I guess if I had to choose one it would have to be the witch. Only because there's always that one teammate who startles her. Then she always goes after me.

Well interms of playing one, I hate playing the Smoker.

And in terms of fighting I hate fighting the tank, too OP.

Hate Boomers in Versus, a halfway decent player can manage to slime at least one person in almost any situation.  He has the most potential to slow you down.

I hate the Boomer on expert difficulty, such a pain in the ass

I wonder if the movie Rec inspired the Witch at all?

The tank, he's pretty much a bigger zombie with more health, how is that a boss?  His only special ability is to throw stuff which almost ALWAYS misses.

The tank when you have only uzi's.

"The tank when you have only uzi's."

Not as being up against a tank with only your penis. Or the other way 'round for that matter.
