Well seeing as L4D2 is OUT- all us vets are going back to L4D to brush up. Thought this might be fun.

So what do you do?

Personally I either run at the tank screaming hysterically or RUN AWAY! - depends on my mood tbh...


-----------

So this is kinda search bar approved- but my forum-fu is weak; and I'm almost certain there must be an old thread like this- but I think it's time for a fresh view on the topic now that it's been out a while.

EDIT: Other option removed... tis boring
Ed:Ed: New option added which I forgot

Call it out to everyone else on my team and open up the assault; running backwards if I'm using the assault rifle and running forward if I'm using a shotgun.

Yell "OH SHI-" Down my mic, often being punched and flying of a rooftop, in the game OFC.

Hide behind my teamates and shoot him at a far away distance. That is if i'm able. I'm usually in the back anyway, so I don't really have to worry about tanks all that much :p

This may seem cowardly but I just run away and let the AI deal with it. As soon as I see that it's not coming for me then I'll start shooting at it.

I try to get some distance between me and the tank, and let my team be the meatshield while I fire on him. But if it's too close, I'll try to dodge around it while firing.

Other: Run away firing if its coming at me, then run away if its to close. When my other team mates get its attention, run at it screaming "YOU LITTLE ***** WHY DID YOU GO FOR ME FIRST THEN CHANGE YOUR MIND?! IM NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?!"

I tend to set him on fire first if I get the chance, then comes the "Run or shoot? Run or shoot!?" part, where then I have to answer "BOTH!"

Who voted for "ignore the Tank"? When would that ever work? :p

I'd do what everyone else does online: run away and perforate the hulking beast with bullets.

I fell into a routine after a few weeks. Hell, the whole horror aspect was lost on me after I'd played long enough to be more like a soldier than a random hoo-ha off the street.

Yahtzee might be able to ignore the tank to death.
