Your running away from a horde of zombies, you've lost one fellow survivor, all of you are low on health, You dont have time stop and think, While running through an apartment building, the survivor behind you gets caught by more than a couple of infected, The other survivor splits, trying to save his own skin from the horde and maybe get to the near by checkpoint. You only have a split second to choose, would you take the time to run away, while infected rip him to shreds, or would you try to defeat the horde,save your friend, and try to catch up to the survivor, all against the impossible odds?

(Dunno if this would be a common scenario in L4D, You think players would really leave eachother behind if they knew the checkpoint was near? I'd for sure be panicing though!)

In most situations, you want to save the team mate because you can bet that that player will be saving you in return. However, given that all dead players respawn at checkpoints, if you see the door it might be a good time to get in and shut that door. Just remember to open it if the player actually manages to get away :). It might not be the bravest move, but it works.

I'm generally a nutcase in these situations and would try to save him, but honestly, if you're near the checkpoint and he dies, he comes back when you reach it anyway.

=o

And Do not PANIC! sounds like it has inspirations from PANIC! At the disco. <_<

Since the other team mate is allready running to the checkpoint id go and try to save our other guy, cos if i died and he did make it to the checkpoint id respawn with half health n e way XD

Yeah, thats true! Kinda forgot lol :D


Anyway, Im sure moments like these, and other panic moments in the game, are going to be crazy! I cant wait for them. Shocking...

DnP sounds pretty cool, are you recruiting? I'd love to join!

save the other guy, hopefully it buys time for the curr also, either way we either all die, or respawn at check.

If it were me, ill probably take care of the situation rambo style. Just blast everything I see even if its the person I'm trying to save. :P

Me? I'd help my fallen comrade up and tell him to go ahead. I would shut the door after him and look at the hordes of infected looking at me... drooling. I will cock my m16 and go nuts.. ala: Hudson from Aliens until my death.

to find out you have no ammo left :D

Yeah that is a great plan, unload your M16. You'll look just like someone in CS:S. *BANGBANGBANGBANG* reload faster!!!, Dead

If it were me, I would run. I figure the other guy may think he knows where the next checkpoint is, for that I am sure he does. But if a Hunter/Smoker takes out the other idiot that decided to split up, Even though the testers of the game ADVISE you to STAY together, then you will have to be with him to stop the boss infected from screwing the whole plan up

Besides, why did the 3rd survivor be so stupid as to get caught :P

Because he's actually a spy, relaying survivor information to the Infected general leaders to the secret base in the North Carolina Badlands.

hmm i think i would do the &quot;stand and fight&quot; kinda thing, stand still on same spot and shot every zombie u see,why? cuz then i would hope that the dude who ran away gotta atleast have a clue where the checkpoint is so i would hold back the zombies,cuz then i might hold em back til i know what to do next. and if i would get beaten to death,i had given the runner a chance to get to Checkpoint and we all respawn ^^ like sacrifice my selfe for the other guys :) (sorry for my bad english.)

I honestly think it's a better idea to just run for your life. If the other guy got separated, good luck to him, but there's better off being one missing survivor than two. Unless all three of us agreed to go after him, I wouldn't be risking the whole team on a senseless &quot;Raaambo!&quot; situation.

Unless he stole my wallet before he ran off, because then it'd be &quot;Zombie Hunter&quot; hunting time.

I'd probably try to help the guy and get him up.
Who knows, maybe next time you're the one lying on the ground crying for help and he is standing next to you.

i'de first try to save the guy, but if that seems useless ide just run after the other guy. then swear at him for being a pussy and running ^^

haha great awsners!


For me, I'd die of a anxiety attack from all of the panic flowing in me :D!

Just kidding.

It really would depend on the size of the horde, Id take a quick look around, try to get a general idea of infected in the area, HUGE horde = OMFG RUN!, Tiny horde= Its worth a try, chaaarge!

Yes, because we all know that the term 'Panic' is the legal property of some band we've never heard of.

Like, totally.
