Beat it to death with a frying pan. I did that to a Tank in L4D2. On expert. Yes, I'm just that awesome.

You see, I always want to play hero. I usually charge the tank and get a few melee attacks in for style. Usually when he's preoccupied battering someone else to a pulp, though; I'm not completely stupid.

1) Divert it's attention onto a team mate (easy enough).
2) Hide round corner as team mate runs past screaming (closely followed by Tank).
3) Cock Benelli.
4) Step out.
5) Introduce tank to noisy end of Benelli.
6) Stand in triumph as team mate calls you a sneaky c##t.

Works fine on anything but expert, where Tank merely turns round and swats you.

Seeing as myself and my team can handle a tank with ease, we'll just ensure we can run at max speed and kite him around laughing at how useless tanks are.

Depending on my health, mood and equipment, I will chose either 1, 2, or 3.

I do a silent verion of option 4. I scream in my head, but normally I'm using a 360 controller on my PC (which keeps disconnecting (wireless) in that game and that game only, and it's not the batteries) I can't remember the button for molotov and end up selecting a med-kit or pain pills, neither of which I probably have.

I can normally hear the tank long before I see him, my regular team never seem to hear him and have learned the hard way to listen to me when i say the tank is ahead. We get a molotov ready then throw it and run while firing widly, we can normally pull it off.

Depends. If it is Versus, I have some confidence that I can dodge a few blows, letting my trusted auto-shottie do its thang. If it is campain, I run around like crazy and try to make it get stuck in windows and narrow points.

Molly then run backwards. Depending if anyone is good on my team I'll let them decide what to do otherwise say over hither or something.

If it runs past me, I ignore it. If it's comming at me, I'll run and shoot.

Most of the time I fire at it while running backwards, but if I have a molotov, I'll throw it at the tank.

I turn to my bloodstained comrades and yell "I'm done for anyway, get the hell out of here!"
As they protest, I pull the molotov cocktail from my waist, and light the rag.
"Trust me, you don't want to be around for this." With a last cheeky wink at my comrades, I dash towards the behemoth screaming "Alright you fucker, its time to burn!".

As the beast hurtles towards me, I ready my throwing arm, and smash the bottle at our feet as our bodies collide.

In less dramatic terms, I sometimes like to suicide molo them to buy my team an extra few seconds to leg it :p

Not as awesome as my response to the Witch. Once we spot it, my team usually try to figure out how to avoid it. While they are doing this, from the back of the group (ie where I have positioned myself) a flaming bottle of love will go flying over there heads, sailing into the distance, and coating the Witch in spicy spicy hugs. Then its off for a spot of jogging, as if its expert mode, its gonna take quite a while for her to settle down.

I'd run away screaming, even if all my mates died. Then I'd hide in one of the respawn cupboards...then the tank smashed down the door and punched my head off.

This was in the Beta, when it was brand new. I still kick myself for never buying that game (never got round to it)

Gonna correct that with this, though *hands Steam a briefcase of money, who subtly hands over L4D2 like it was cocaine or something*

Run and shoot. If he knocks anyone down, I run right up to him and empty my Shotgun clip into his face as he's pounding the guy into the ground; sometimes I end up taking off 2/3 of his health just by myself.

None of the above. I usually don't fire at all, for some reason the punches take 'em down fast, so I do that.

I use one of 3 options

1. Run/Shoot/Molotov

2. Safe Room - Safe Room - SAFE ROOM!

3. Rock, Paper, Scissors. Ok, you fight the Tank. Bye!
