do yourself a favor and beat all the campaigns on advanced with friends or bots, don't play on normal or easy, it'll give you bad habits and make advanced, experts, and vs impossible for you, just beat all the campaigns a few times, learn the maps, do some experts, you'll get decent real quick

not calling out when you're hunter, smoked, boomed. also, putting blinders on when you see a smoker and crouching there and trying to shoot it while your team advances

1) Wandering too far away from your team, either leading or trailing
2) Slowing down too often and not advancing forward as soon as reasonably possible

What he said


Hey It was late or I would have played with you last night B33r

We will have to play some Dead air and Toll on advanced or Expert I need a group of friends to do expert as the Dummies out there get me killed too much

OH one other thing to add to the list is Jumping or walking in front of some one all ready shooting at a Target and taking friendly fire or not watching the targets and causing Friendly fire by shooting your team mate.

Oh yea and being close to some one being hunted and trying to shoot the hunter off and not meelaying it off and causing more damage that had you meelayed

Watch for me Beer I will be playing L4D soon well get a game up and going.

if you are just moving from A to B, try and stay in the middle of the path, as it makes shooting horde/hunter/smoker off of you much easier.

dont, i repeat DON'T go hunting for a hurt smoker or hunter unless your team knows and will wait. i have incapped and ultimately made teams lose because a player decides to come by himself after the smoker.

get to know the levels well (Both in versus and in Campaign, as some have helpful tricks in each game mode) , if you haven't played a map, it will be a huge disadvantage

Avoid the witch if possible, and try to avoid shooting boomers. it may seem like they are far away, but sometimes the bile can go really far

Just attack with your team, both a survivors and infected.

Getting too far away from your team is the biggest mistake.
Out of sight = too far away to help quickly. More than 10 feet usually means that too.

Attacking survivors on your own. Wait for a few other zombies to provide a reasonable distraction or set up an ambush. Going straight in doesnt do much and will just get you killed.

See, that was a trick question. Experience players make those same mistakes as well :wink:
