All I see in here is people crying about the FP. I have stated before that Zerkers have other threats, such as the Crawler, Siren, Husk, and to an extent the Scrake, Zerkers die from Sirens and Husks more than any other zed. The FP may be a threat to the gun toting players, but that is about the only threat since the servers are now filled with mainly Support and SS. Gun using classes do not have to worry about any of the zeds that Zerkers do, you see 4 to 6 Crawlers, 1 shotgun round and they are all dead, Husk or Siren, SS HS's it and the threat is gone, Scrake, SS HS it, stuns it, then the Support guys blast it, FP, SS gets at least 1 or 2 HS's on it, then the Support guys throw about 4 nades each and then unload on it with AA12', and there goes the FP, where as a Zerker has to expose himself to kill any of them, not to mention that normaly the gun classes do this while safe in a room, or area with only 1 entry, which IMO is as much an exploit as kiting a FP.
Maybe the welding should be nerfed, make it so that a door can only be welded once, or that the welder runs out of fuel.
As others have said, the zerker is overpowered in the hands of a player that knows what he is doing, whereas IMO the Support is overpowered in just about any players hands. The Support class can carry 11 nades, and has 3 shotguns to choose from, all of which that can kill multiple zeds with a single shot, the only other wepon that can do that is the X-bow (Excluding Demo), but at least it has very limited ammo, is a single shot weapon, and is expensive. A Support spec however can afford to buy extra shotguns and drop them at the camp site for when his other one is empty, maybe the price should be raised making it more difficult to do this, or limit how many Zeds can be killed with a single shotgun round.
Only a handfull of zerkers can do what people here are complaining about, and even those people can't do it every time.
Seems to me that a lot of people in here are having to deal with the whole ''Zerker being the last man standing'' thing often. If this is happening so often, then perhaps your time would be better spent figuring out just what it is that is causing you all to die so much, 1 person off by themselves should not be causing the team to wipe, after all, the lone Zerker off by himself is distarcting and killing a fair amount of Zeds thereby taking some of the pressure off of the rest of the team, which means that it is something that you guys are doing wrong, not the Zerker.
