So the devs are trolling us by putting a "Solo" on the main menu?
I'm always for a new zed as long as it respect a few of my personal criteria:
- Has it's own clear role, otherwise it's kind of pointless (check)
- It gives gameplay variety without making it harder/more frustrating. New players have enough to worry about learning to kill the zeds we have already. Also, each difficulty has its audience, so if you think the game is too easy then I would prefer they make a new difficulty level instead of ruining normal for "normal" guys.
- It doesn't eliminate an aspect of the game that isn't already considered cheap. Kiting to me is as much a part of the game as camping, and sometimes things go wrong and you have to just leg it. If it eliminates Zerks ditching the team and surviving without a problem, then by all means, do it.
- It has to be solo-able by at least one perk or two, on a 6-man, given the right conditions. Not so easily, mind you. When they introduced 2-shoting the Flesh Pound with the M99, that was a bit overboard. Support soloing the Flesh Pound, that I like, because if anything goes wrong during your maneuver, you're dead. When the team has been scattered and you're clutching the last few zeds, it's nice to know your team isn't boned because if the guy is good he can still save it.
Also, I personally don't find the skin fitting of the game, I'd prefer it be modified.
