This really takes the piss out of people who got the Expert achievements legitimately. Bummer, sort of.

Speaking as someone who's survived Expert on all 6 campaigns and one on Expert Realism, not really. That accomplishment is still mine! :3

Does the M60 mutation really count towards expert? I beat the mall campaign and checked the achievement list and still have 0/6 complete.

Yeah, I finished up 3 tonight. Dark Carnival fails to load the 5th map though, and someone fucked us over on Parish :(

Wait, is Midnight Ride supposed to always play during the Dark Carnival finale? Because I've never heard it play before. I only noticed the difference watching a youtube video a minute ago.

Alright, thought so :)

Gonna try for the expert achievements too. Last, Dark Carnivale Finale wouldn't load, and I received a car to my face on the Parish bridge... >_<

Yeah, just a heads up: loading the finale map in Dark Carnival in Gib Mode appears to be broken for most people so I wouldn't bother trying that for now.

Yeah, I figured it out, my music volume was too low, I couldn't hear it over the fireworks, zombies, and guns. Though it was the same volume as the sounds, I guess it has to be much higher.

When you use the special ammo does it run out?

You get a full M60 clip of it, 150 rounds. It will tell you how many are left and then it reverts back to a constant 150 normal rounds in the counter when you run out.

It's probably not possible to beat it up to that point, then quit and continue it later (on normal Expert) is it?

Nope, we tried just selecting the map on it's own and starting from there and it just kicked us back to the menu. It also appears you have to do the entire campaign in one go anyways.

And I was wondering why the game crashed upon loading the concert map.

The thread on Steampowered seems to suggest that the finale works if you host a local listen server.

I checked this out and I can confirm that the map loads in properly if you select local host instead of a dedicated server.

4/5 campaigns down, I'm gonna try to roll through Dark Carnival tonight to wrap it up.

Will it still give you the achievements if you choose local?

Gibfest is fun and way to over-powered :p

It works even with 3 bots. Play on Gib-Fest, easy. Open the airplane door to start the event, then quickly run back, the way you came, until you reach the outhouse. Hide in the outhouse with the bots outside and then all you have to do is wait for the bots to kill all of the hordes.

Thanks, that worked perfectly :D

Goddamn bot idiots! >_< I gave up on the Passing finale after 7+ tries. I wish bots could collect gas cans, then it'd be a cinch (not really). Even with M60's they're still stupid :( I'm never gonna get any expert achievements...

Okay, even in Gibfest trying to win Dark Carnival in expert is ridiculous. IT SPAWNED A FREAKING WITCH IN THE SAFE ROOM AT THE END OF BARNS. Right at the entrance. I died in the freaking safe room at the end of the level.

I've noticed the game spawning bot special infected in the safe room a lot recently. I think it's meant to deter rushing without your teammates. Me and my friends always rush versus matches and when one of us makes it to the safe room first and the other team has a bot special infected from missing a player(rage!) that often happens. It has killed one of us once.

GO TO HELL VALVE. It didn't count my DK as finished because I got incapped as the helicoptor was taking off. Are you serious, Valve? Yet another reason why DK is the worst campaign ever.

If Dark Carnival finale is giving you trouble and you really want that achievement then just glitch it. You can use a construction machine to jump on slabs of wood. And as long as every player remains on those slabs nothing will spawn not even tanks.

It's definately the hardest part of the game.
And yeah it often spawns a witch or a tank in the 'safe' room there.

Gibfest does really make all the difference there because you can keep running forward while shooting non-stop. Without Gibfest you'll have to reload halfway through, and then you get surrounded and murdered by the normal infected.

The finale of Dark Carnival is a piece of cake anyway compared to the map before it. The only real danger is getting knocked down and then getting left behind by your teammates.

Sometimes at the end the the tank spawns next to the helicopter. The same shit happens at the hard rain finale where as you're waiting for the boat to come a tank spawns near the dock. In expert mode all it takes is one hit from the tank from his rocks(which in expert mode are like homing missiles if you're out in the open) or punches.

You don't need to do The Passing on Expert.

Yeah, I beat it on the second run. The witch spawned in the safe room at the end of Barns again, but this time I knew the director's tricks and let Rochelle bot eat it. :lol

Anyone up for the escape chapter of Dead Center (gibfest) on extreme? I've managed to retrieve and use 10 fuel cans but stupid AI isn't helping me much when the Tank spawns.

EDIT: Never mind, I completed it after a few tries. AI is still stupid though.

By the way, I forgot to point that over half of the people in the last vote chose the correct answer for who or what to have on a deserted island -- bringing back Zoey!

I don't mind Ellis TOO much but we could get rid of the guy in the white suit or something.

:lol Right! Counting is NOT fun.

Died twice on Parish finale. Even when 3/4 players were idling, we still get owned (the fourth guy had already done it, and he's the one who made it to the chopper >_<)

I think it's easiest to do these things with the bots. Just plow straight ahead and kill everything in your path.

As for Parish finale, you are saving a stim shot for the ending, right?

Sure, but someone seem to be bound to screw up in some fashion :S Of course, I've only tried gib-fest in PUGs with no mics.
