Live and let die. your wothless teammates that is

[MegaMan]

First of all if your the let no man be left behind uptight soilder type this isn't for you.

#1 Newbies are easy to spot just from the behavior of walking around as if they are lost in a abyess. Let them be espically in a moment where you are in danger. They make perfect bait and even traps for zombies.

#2 Friendship with skilled players is important. Watch each others backs even give them ammo or a gun if you have some to spare. You will be amazed how much even just one freind can help you against the odds.

#3 If you ever find yourself with out any good weapons and only the pistol try to attract zombies to the people that have them. If they slaughter the zombie then good. If they fail and die even better take what they have and take care of the remaining zombies.

#4 CAMP ON SOME MAPS! Such as tower. or that map that looks like the labs in resident evil 2. You won't believe how many times I have won the game by zombies rushing in with out a plan. Tower for example if you block the way to the roof with a few good men beside you that ladder will never be good enough for the zombies.

#5 Adviod zombie spawns. PERIOD! (except for club zombo)

#6 Always and I mean Always drop empty weapons in a situation when zombies are after you. Not only will you be faster but some newbie is more likely to run to it and die for you.

#7 I may seem heartless but this proves otherwise. Many servers accept way to many player for ZP. 12 should be the max however admins seem to not think so. DO NOT let to many people die on over crowded servers! The zombie lives and population of zombie players will be to overwhelming and it impossible.

#8 If you have to choose any 2 weapons choose the shotgun and m4. Shotgun has the power and m4 has the rate of fire to take down many zombies at once.
If you ever get yourself stuck espically in a room with only one entrance this is a way to live. I have literally taken down 9 zombies rushing me at the same time in a small cramped room because they ALWAYS line up. Most zombie players are afraid of dying and want a human shield (or rather zombie sheild) and for the smart ones that don't... use the shotgun.

#9 Most missons with objectives for humans to live are worthless. Only one map has made it simple enough and even then most players are to ignorant to even try it. So just screw it unless you have a few buddys with you that you can rely on.

#10 Never ever take the magnum if your not good at it. If you can't hit a moving target in the head atleast 2/3rds of the time then it shouldn't be in your hands. You will end up using 3-4 shots to take a single zombie down and that my friends is worthless.

Good points. The biggest problem I have is finding some good, consistent players. I usually see 4 different people arguing on 'where we should meet' and 'what to do', and most of the team doesnt listen to any of them in any case, and just end up running around, getting killed with all the ammo and guns in the worst possible place.

It's hard to find good people (But when you do, holy crap is it fun!!!)

What if you got good team mates? But you want their gun?

[Hastings]

If they are good then why do you want their guns? Let other players keep their guns if they are good with em. Team work conquers all.

Ya but an overwhelming amount is fun to play against it just gives you more atmosphere knowing there are fifteen zombies out there....

Here are my problems with the following:

1.) your really suppost to accept everyone, and avoid using them. simply using a player to do a trap operation is for what really corrupts teamwork and the face of leadership on ZP. which is one reason why no one wants to use it anymore.

Newbie = A new player WILLING TO LEARN.
Noob = idiot player that can't tell the difference from the hole in the ground from his own ###hole.

2.)This is true, but that doesn't mean you should let him/her do all the work.

3.) i see alot of things wrong with this one;
+As the Human team, your suppost to Survive, not attract Zombies
+If you draw there attenion and if you are followed to your friends, your friends will run out of ammo after the 2nd or 3rd wave of attacks.(Wave = 3-6 zombies) As a team your really suppost to survive 10 waves of attacks (If i was able to pull it off then you guys can)
+And finally "Pick up for what he droped and finshed off the remaining zombies," This is the black and white truth, if your attacked, yes if you can get his stuff, but dont stick around if the team is broken up. try and meet somewhere else, but dont stay in the same place that one guy died in. Basiclly get what you can and then get out.

and with number 8. You are right, you should try and get the shotgun or the m4, BUT NOT BOTH at the same time; why? becuase if you die, not only will you of lost one major weapon, but it is in a area at which your friends cannot go into becuase they will die trying to get the shotgun or the M4. (AK47 for me)

The rest are good, keep it up. ;)

if you die you dont really wanna leave a good weapon for a human to pick up cause then you'll be a zombie and you want the humans to be weaker...
