Hi, No offence I just want to share my mind (with you) on this!
I totaly agree this you can lern best by going solo (on 6palyer) also by doing this you master the map you know which zeds usualy spawn where and where they drop from above and where you can escape best or what you can do when you're surrounded.
Very very important point your pointing out here! I noticed even expierienced players (those who win on Suicidal) don't know this. Very important point (can't be repeated often enuf). I give you an example: Scrake Husk Sirens incoming what happens? I tell you: The pros take out their xbow and hs the scrake and then run away from Husk shoting on them. They have the habit to drops Scraks and they not in a trillion years realise that they should have focused on the Husk and (then) the Sirens first befor droping the harmless Scrake haveing a peaceful walk towards you while it has a lot of health it isnt charing you.
True, Yes it is boring but sometimes camping and shooting in 1 direction is a good change but for me: I need the adrenaline I never follow my team I always go where my team doesn't even on suicidal. I'm a complet loner not a good teamplayer but at least I heal my teammates when I cross em which alot of so called "teamplayers" don't they are like: **** we are going to die damn I heal myself but the otehr guy is dieing too so heal that guy and that guy heals you (should be).
It depends on the situation the Fp attacks you if he has you in his sight for too long so either find a wall to hide and heal like you said but if you CAN get a clear shot to the head in order to drop a more dangarous zed like husk or even MAYBE sirens ****ing do it even if you take dmg from crawler or stalker or even a ****ing clot because if you dont the big one will rape you sooner or later.
like
said. Agreed again.
I realise lot ppl spawning m14 so on m14 I agree its not a tactic its a weapon to go solo. But by saying xbow is not a valid tactic you made yourself a noob.
What you should know about m14: You can play more effective with m14 if you don't spawn it but aim with it which you can read out on my screenshot I posted in ss/video section (I post here again). Me lvl 6 ss and other guy lvl 6 ss too both m14 he spawned and I aimed. I had by far more kills then him and I joined late he was already ingame before me. He called me stupid rambo and then came out of his camping spot because I was taking the zeds all on my own then he realised that I was getting more kills and soon he dropped to place 2 on statistics then he tryed the same like I did: going alone. But he spawned his m14 and got raped maybe cuz he had to reload in a bad moment and he was too stupid to switch to his pistol because I never saw him take out his pistol when the zeds came close to him he just took the dmg while reloadeing his mighty m14 and then killed the zeds attacking him after he got raped he left the game. It was this screenshot:

Oh and one more word about the camping thing: You don't develop skill by camping in one place and defending it (you dont even develope the essential teamplay healing others covering others back). To increase your skill put yourself in the most dangerous situation you can think of get as many zeds around you as you can and try to deal with it that way you get better the otehr way you might win maps but talking about skill... not.
I'm sure English isn't your native language, so i'll try and help.
It isn't "spawning" an M14, it's "spamming" an M14.
This may seem like nitpicking, but i was genuinely confused as to what you meant.
Also, nice work on using the M14 the way it was intended to be used.
