I've just about had it with folks who don't do their job per their perk.
Trying to be a zerker just because they have a Katana, or not keeping the small stuff away from a zerker while he/she is tanking a Scrake drives me up the damn wall.
I have ran into this situation countless times.
I'm Commando, one Zerker in the front, a medic here a support/sharpshooter there. Everyone killing shooting, doing just fine in the first waves. Waves 4 and above, Zerker starts to get more in his face, but is able to deal with them, a few more gored fast and clots, no problem, but sharpshooter starts concentrating on the stuff in front of the Zerker, same as the Support Specialist. More crawlers/sirens/bloats slip by because people keep trying to kill the things in front of the zerker. A Scrake enters, Zerker is dealing with scrake, then a all of the sudden everyone concentrates fire on the scrake, totally disregarding the crawlers and sirens that are getting too close/or everyone who has a katana tries to kill the scrake also leading to crawlers and other trash slip by. Leaving me (the Commando) the only person who is actually doing what they are supposed to do, keep the trash in check. The medic is doing an ok job of healing the zerker, but starts using the damn katana more often than actually healing. We slip by wave 6, zerker is almost dead but is alive. Wave 7, almost everyone ignores their role on the field and tries to kill everything instead of making strategic choices when firing their weapon, support wasting shells on single clots, sharpshooter doing the same wasting bolts on single clots. More scrakes come in, again everyone tries to kill the scrake instead of keeping the trash off of the zerker. Before first FP comes, zerker dies, everyone else is low on ammo and nades because they wasted them on the scrakes, then everyone gets killed by the first damn FP that shows up, usually leaving me as the last one then I get killed. Then everyone complains that their zerker sucks because he died early and say that I suck because I couldn't hold kill the 75 or so specimens off by myself/ or if i do, we all wipe wave 8 because of the same damn tactics that they used wave 7.
I cannot stress this enough, please play the role of the perk you choose.
People look at the kill count too much and try to be on the top versus trying to make through the waves.
Completing a map is way better than trying to level up then wiping out.
