AI that goes crazy when you're in the lead....

My friend and I struggled back in the day to play through NBA Hangtime.

I've also heard stories of playing a Total War game on higher difficulties with an AI faction materializing full stacks out of nowhere.

This bullshit, L4D2 does the same fucking thing, Your doing fine on expert/realism in L4D2 until...

you clear the room out so you stand in the door way, when suddenly 3 zombies hit you from behind and knock you down.

Bullshit Valve fix the god damn game, its not realistic to spawn zombies out of my ass!!!

 

Zombies in L4D2 spawn in hordes. The AI director never just spawns 2 or 3. You probably missed them when you thought you cleared the room. Besides, if there are a couple running towards you, they should be easy to hear if there are no other distractions.

Expert Realism can be a lot of fun though, even if the AI director is a douche at times.
