Run in and out of trees and melee people. Pounce on isolated people. Jump off of tall buildings and fail at hitting the survivor you were aiming at.
Also, distract. Also, pounce when nearby survivors are RIGHT on a ledge. If you land on a different survivor, the nearby survivors will stagger and might fall off a ledge, or so I'd like to think.

Spawn anywhere on higher ground and hope the Smoker drags one and you are fast enough to jump the rescuer before Smoky gets shot.
Enough unsolicited advice; this game has soul. It is truly the best multiplayer zombie-blasting game in existence. So good I have it for 360 as an early Christmas present, and for the PC which I had to buy because it's even better. I keep forgetting that I made my PC to run Crysis, so I can actually get many PC games to run like butter on it.

Nearby survivors won't fall off entirely, but they will hang on for dear life. I've disabled two people like that once (completely by accident) after I pounced on someone, while the remaining guy was being strangled by a Smoker after that. :]Blizzard said:
LOL. After the Steam servers were down for a while and came back up, I logged into L4D. I hit "Play Versus" and it asks me if I'm sure. Playing Versus assumed you've mastered Campaign. Are you sure you wanna play Versus? Then I checked my achievement and 0 of 51. I could only imagine the angry e-mails if those were permanent resets.

It's possible to knock them off without having them grab onto the ledge as well.MicVlaD said:
Figures, last campaign to do on expert and I just can't do it. 
Blood Harvest was a breeze until the finale, but the level itself(even just getting to the radio) is really hard. I tried in the bathroom a few times, in the Nursery room once, and once in the barn but every time the Tank just demolished the whole team. I have no idea why everything falls apart so much on this level, but I haven't managed to even get to the second Tank yet.
Also, I REALLY hope they patch the stupid generator thing on No Mercy VS. It seems like everyone does it now...and I still don't see the point, blocking all 4 survivors together so the special Infected can barely damage them, wow!

Ganhyun, we ended up beating it around 12:30 EST last night. After you left Kur0yume joined us to fill your spot.
Damn those tanks! Only 2 of us survived, excited to play more campaigns on expert now

Darn! I wanted to keep on, but I had to work this morning. Glad u guys got past it though. We almost had it that one time, until the deadly trio showed up and ruined it. (That try where I was leading the flaming tank around so you guys could get downed memebrs up and I got boomed on, pounced, tanked, and then to boot there was a smoker and another hunter waiting on you guys.)

How about that one time the Tank entered the safe room?!?! Explanation for everyone here, we were on Dead Air chapter 4 (I think, the one with the van you have to start) and when we exited the safe room, a tank showed up in the very next room, so we all just booked it back to the safe room and shot at him through the door. This actually happened 3 times, but one time the tank threw concrete at the door which busted it open! He ran in and proceeded to maul us to high heaven. it was just wild seeing a tank IN a safe room!

Something weird is going on right now with the servers. Me and a bunch of other folks can't seem to find a game. (PC version)
LAME.

can anyone confirm my suspicion?
If a hunter pounces on someone, I suspect that the person is immune to friendly fire until the hunter is off. I always carry shotguns and when firing on hunters who pounced on survivors, I never see a message that says I shot the person, I only see the message that says I saved the person

Man, im really having trouble beating No Mercy. I've only been playing with randoms but after taking down the first tank in the last chapter shit just gets too real. Game is fucking awesome though, never played a game with so many "oh shit" moments.
Also co-op experience of the forever, first real co-op game maybe????

My friends and I beat Blood Harvest on Expert last night 
Goddamn director gave us NOTHING. Oh wait -- he gave us two green canisters. That's it. No molotovs, no pipe bombs, no red fuel canisters or white propane tanks. Two of us made it into the truck at the end, a hunter pounced me on the ramp into it but my friend knocked him away right quick :lol
Also, anybody else use the "if you're red, shoot 'em" strategy? We'd get into the farmhouse where the radio is, and if anybody was red, we'd just shoot them to get them to respawn with more health in the closet :lol

I only have trouble with it on Expert, and that's just at the final run to the helicopter.chriskun said:
On any lesser difficulty, I really think the map is just plain boring. If everyone crouches down in the four corners of the room below the turret, nothing can really happen. Smokers can't pull you out of the room, Hunters can't land on anyone without someone else stopping it immediately, and Boomers just wastefully die as the zombies come in and just get punched and shot to death without hitting anyone. You have unlimited ammo on the best weapons, and you start with four health packs in the safe room and get four more in the ammo room. (I really think the map would be excellent if there were no additional health packs.)
We jump out when a tank arrives to fight them in the open, and run back to our spots when he's dead. I've done it at least a few dozen times now, the same way every time, without ever having a problem except on Expert.

-One player tried to help him up, but was pounced on by a hunter.
-The other dude was forced close to the edge, got the hunter off his friend, and backed up over the ledge by mistake.
-A smoker pulled the last guy over.
