It's a bugfix/exploit/balancing patch. Makes the game a lot better already.
I hear the content stuff is coming a bit later as they plan on doing a simultaneous release of added content on PC and X360 - and as usual, X360 stuff needs to go through the MS approval process. |

Fixed Smoker tongue tolerance.
Smoker now has to be killed or the tongue destroyed for the tongue to break.
Survivor's cannot bash someone off the tongue until the Survivor being pulled is paralyzed or hanging
Smoker tongue does damage every second while dragging paralyzed Survivors.
Nice
Reduced autoshotgun damage against Tanks.

Yeah, and that's the problem! 
Definitely makes those last stages a LOT harder... assuming you're not playing on 'normal' or something... |

Did u finally start playing vs? Hope so. That is really where the fun is, imo. Granted, u started late, and the infecteds learning curve is higher, but the competition between the 2 sides is so fun when capable players are on both sides |

It's fun - especially if you get to be the tank and take out 3 survivors with a car (heh heh). I've done very well with the Hunter and Tank and even cause some mayhem with the boomer (luck permitting), but I can't get to grips with the smoker - I've done really badly with him. |

Neither the smoker or boomer (at least imo) are meant as damage dealers. Granted, in the right situation, they can both cause a considerable amount of damage, but against a good team, they are better thought of as a mayhem dealer. For the smoker, look for situations where you can set up the boomer (1st forest lvl, smkr/bmr up in trees). Whoever u drag, someone will likely run up after, they kill u but boomer gets em both... They are tied up with the oncoming horde while the 2 hunters take out the guys still on the path. Neither the boomer of smoker did much damage in that situation, but by tieing up 2 survivord, hopefully , with good teamwork the other two are now incapped or nearly so.
At worse, the other team now has 2 less health packs at the start of the map.
The smoker is best used to pull someone down and make them have to start over going through the horde or in seperating them so the hunter or boomer can wreak havoc on the rest. The smoker is extremely effective on the upper hospital section... Look for angles to pull a survivor off the building (there are 3 really good spots)... That is an instant incap.
Really though, it is best when you are dead to watch what good players on ur team do with the boomer and smoker, as the spots where they are most effectively used are well known, and with patience u will find them and effectively use them too. |
