Wow, I've now played a few HoE games with people who really know what they're doing, and I've got to say that it is quite fun.

I notice also that, the less reliable a team is, the more likely it is that everyone will essentially "do their own thing" and go berserker. Either case yields reaally enjoyable games.

Thanks tripwire/beta testers

mhmm, there's honestly no room for error on HoE. One small mess-up, and you're squad's done. I'm avoiding it entirely atm, because the new players are still checking out all the difficulties and such, it'll only be a matter of time before they realize what the requirements of HoE are.

But how many of these berserkers actually know how to play the class? Are you left cleaning up 140 specimens because the other zerkers bring xbows to a FP fight? lol.

Oh completely, lol. Often 2 players left with around 250+ to take on. It's still a rush!

i've just got my berzerker levelled up after ages corner camping ( i'm generally an organised team-holds-one-spot kinda player anyway) and i thought i'd be abandoning the perk for a while after that.
However it's been fun to run with some proper mobile berzerkers and i've seen some skilled players - they seem to know in advance what's going to happen, even on new maps like the santa one.

Searching for survivors.
Hell on Earth is that difficulty I wish every zombie game had where winning was close to impossible. The only point is to see how many waves you can last, and to kill as many zeds as you can before dying. That is why I try to always carry one last grenade, so when I get surrounded with no escape route and zeds are starting to tear into my flesh I pull the pin and take them all with me.

More like take 2 clots with you. Specimens have too much health to do any real damage to them that way.

Not all of them that's for sure.

Yesterday my team wiped at wave 5 on HoE, and I took care of the remaining 89 zeds. It was awesome. Btw, on waterworks.

HoE sure is way hard, but awesome at the same time.

Now when scrakes or pounds show up, the others NEED TO provide a 1v1 suituation for the guy responsible to due with it. (berserkers or demo or sharpshooter)

You can no longer just spam xbow until you hit the head suddenly and kill that fleshpound. This is good. The game is improved a lot gameplay-wise. Some minor problem needed to address tough.
