Is it fun? Do you do it for a challenge? Just out of general curiosity...


I myself almost never solo.

When there's no free slots or populated servers with map I like, I often just join an empty server and attempt some wacky solo challenge. If people join and it becomes a normal game - great, if not - it's ok too :)

So far I did berserker knife only, SS 9mm only, cmdo M4 only, FB mac only... can't seem to finish demo + seeker 6 :D

I play solo games quite a lot. I do it with all perks on all maps at some stage or another. My rationale for this is

1) It's kind of fun.
2) It's a bit more challenging in some regards with nobody to bail you out.
3) I like to keep my solo skills sharp for when I have to close out a wave as last survivor.
4) Sometimes there is nobody online that I feel inclined to play with.

Not as much as I used to, although like Grail says above, it is more challenging..so if I'm feeling brave I'll dip my toe in those waters..:D

I mostly do a challange of not buying weapons and only picking up weapons from the ground. The Exceptions are the LAW Rocket Launcher for the Pattycake. But it's not the best demo weapon. And armor, but after buying it from the trader I throw extra 300 Pounds away and everytime I need to heal I throw away 200 Pounds.

I boot up solo occasionally to see if I'm improved as a player. I recently started playing suicidal finally and I decided to see how long I'd last by myself.

Multiple times a week sometimes I even solo for several hours. Why? It feels like a different game. You have no one who could cover you while reloading, no one to heal you. If you die, it's 100% your fault and there is no one else to blame :D (except those sh%$!#

I play solo only while testing new stuff I wrote. For me this game is all about teamplay.

I like to load a random (official, non official) map and start to find out spawners, their intensivity, camping spots, kiting routes, test weird loadouts. And most fun part for me - searching for glitches :D

When all the HoE servers below 60 ping are on a crappy map or full.

Every time I play. Even when playing with a team...it's like I'm playing solo because I'm just so good at this game (see: best) that I end up killing everything anyway and the other players are just good for increased health, spawn rate, and total zeds.

Can confirm, Tookey has carried me in his big, strong arms many many times over.

West London can be fun sometimes.
