My friend Luckie came up with this tactic
(Yes this has already been used on No mercy lvl 4 etc etc) but I tried Luckie's tactic on a Versus game

And it worked out perfect !
(except for 2 of my teammates that got .. owned)

Haha I try to do the same thing but in versus people seem to think that they cannot win without being in the usual spot. =/

I like how the shotty sounds like an M16 when it is sped up!

Great video.

Yeah, its actually really hard to win on the minigun platform. There are so much better places to do it. I will definetly give that strategy a go.

That, BTW, is awesome for a couple of reasons.

#1 Seeing the "double punt" in slow mo off the roof. :D
#2 That you did not give up and STILL won the scenario w/ two characters. :)

And a GOOD tactic.

Is that tank getting knocked off the building? I cant see with the explosion. I guess he would have to be since a propane tank isnt going to instakill a tank by itself. Cool find though!

Pretty win tactic I must say, only problem is if you don't get any propane tanks ;P (50% chance), not to mention if one of your teammates wastes them. Other than that, good strategy :3.

Kiwi, why do you jump off the roof on No Mercy final?
Is it because you lost of a team with 2 bots ?
Or because you had to play survivors?

Either way, you suck Kiwi and you're deleted of my friends list :D

Holy crap, man. Awesomeness aside, you must have been playing against an incredibly shitty team.

I don't recall having you on my friends list? I haven't jumped off the roof in no mercy since a couple days back when I was bill and we were kicking the other teams ass o.o.

Then there was another time when I jumped off the roof with a tank when I was messing around, killed one person, they were getting owned pretty badly, so I wanted to insult them by not even wasting my time with them, plus they were ass holes lol.

So really, you must be thinking of another Kiwi o.o.

Got a guy on my friendslist with the exact same picture, and name Kiwi and sometimes Kiwilol, so it's you or someone that just has the same love for kiwi's as you do

I have a friend named Kiwi. But he has no obsessions for the fruit (http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&um=1&sa=1&q=Kiwi+Bird&btnG=Search+Images&aq=f&oq=) >_>

My name is never Kiwilol, so it's not me, sorry. My steamID is Ryan017.

Another one of my friends told me that there's a guy named Kiwi who has the same picture as me and I didn't believe it either, but now I do. :3
Hope this is all cleared up ;D.

Ontopic, I tried this earlier, it's pretty win lol, made the other team rage quit lol.

nice find. there's one problem: just gotta make sure the tank is on the tank. it seems that way because it kinda just vanished out of nowhere.

No.

Awesome tactic. That wasn't versus was it? What difficulty?
I'm thinking that might be hard to pull off on expert once you need to make a run for the copter...

EDIT: Wow.. that was versus? Not a great team you were playing there.. lol

Wow, I'm surprised that this hasn't been posted yet. This is old as shit. We don't do it anymore, because everyone in versus seems to know what happens when you shoot a tank near the tank, eh you know.

And you can avoid being pushed down by the tank as a tank, because the explosion doesn't effect you when you throw a stone near the tank!

Well it looks kind of fun, but it seems to me to be a surefire way to get the other team to ragequit (if they haven't already just left after their turn on infected *sigh*), and you have a pretty high chance of being launched off the roof - as demonstrated by the awesome double-punch.

Seems impractical to me tbh.

No you can't
I've seen a tank throw a rock and right when the propanetank exploded he just stopped the animation and fell down

The sounds of super speed L4D are amusing.
And nice strat BTW, worth trying.

Nice method. I took about 3 games before my teammates would actually listen and STOP blowing up the propane tanks before the tanks even spawned but when we were able to save ONE it worked well - the other teams was like 'wtf - that's some hax' and ended up rage quitting. I couldn't stop laughing.

Thanks for the tip!

Then he made something wrong, because we experienced the opposite!

Looks pretty good to me.

If I was a tank, I'd be looking out for those propane tanks, and avoid them like the plague.

Nice tactic. I've used a few propanes on tanks before but that is a pretty damn good spot, even for dealing with the regular infected during the finale too. Nice find.
