Two tactics I've found work really well:

1.) Scare the ~~~~~ out of them using your microphone; just as you're closing in for a sneaky kill, blurt some zombie noises down the microphone as you claw them to death - They turn around to not only see a zombie chomping away at their shoulder, but it's making a scary noise too! You might think "Who's gonna fall for that?" but I do it on every kill, and it almost ALWAYS knocks their aim well off.

2.) Scare Tactics; When they ask 'how many of us left'? Give them a false number! If you tell them there's 8 left, when there's really 1, he's gonna run around like a headless chicken trying to find safety in numbers, and in doing so is more-likely to hit a wall of zombies.

If you tell them there's only 3 left when there's about 10, you may run into the "No there isn't; we're all in a room together!" problem, but you may also make a few of the more impressionable survivors start to panic and act more rash.

With number 1, you have to make sure the server has alltalk on, because most of the servers I play on don't have it on...

Heh, nothing like distracting a group of humans as your zombie buddies circle around back and jump them from behind. :P That in my opinion is the ultimate scare.

The amount of people I've made go "OH ????! NO!! ????!!!" on mic because they turn around to see me go "CAAAAH? Muuuurhhh!!!" is priceless. Works everytime.

I mostly wait for humans in the dark, the white zombie eyes realy work well in the part when you move into the light.

Agreed. Scaring the s**t out of them is a nice tactic, waiting around the corner for the footsteps or the sign of a flashlight. When doing that they usually take 5 shots from magnum to kill me instead of one :D

Actually it does, especially if you're the carrier, he tends to be scarier for most people. Also, zombies' footsteps cannot be heard (well) by survivors so sneaking is pretty easy as long as you don't jump, lunge or attack.
