Tactics Don't shoot burning weaklings!

So you're going to shoot those little specimen on fire on the other side of the room just because they may hit you if you get near? lol

Nice straw man.

This is why you play on suicidal. Idiots that kill whore die fast, leaving you a disproportionate number of zeds to kill. If its an idiot camping WITH you, just be ready to leg it along a predefined escape route the moment the **** hits the fan. Save yourself, let the idiots die.

You're screwed as a firebug on suicidal with a disproportionate number of zeds to kill and no more teammates to back you up though.
The less room the map has, the more screwed you are.

I do have to say that burning/decaped zeds often are a threat. On most official maps you dont have much space to move one and then one grab by a clot, crawler attack can be devastating. And it's only crawlers that really burn out fast. It has happened a couple of times that I kill of the last gorefast with a fast knife cut. And straight after it's been decaped I often write something in the chat, and a couple of times that walking body have killed me in 2 attacks.

I can say that I've got only bad experience of not shooting burning/decaped bodies^^
So on suicidal I often think that extra bullet is worth it, but on everything below it doesn't really matter.

True, hence I don't play firebug . Though on the other hand if your whole team has died there are probably plenty of guns lying around on the floor.

I usually can't save myself =( Even 50 ZEDs by myself on Suicidal is too much in over-run situations, where the horde has already swarmed in and there's nowhere to run to. If it's farm/London, it's easier, but overall I find it insanely difficult to finish a round myself as anything other than medic. Crawlers and Gores are just way too fast on Suicidal for the classes without bonus speed.
