Honestly, I just thought I'd share my thoughts on this since I disagree. I mean no offense, but I think way2g00 is being a bit harsh. (And yes, I know the thread's a bit old.)

1. When he/she kills my zombies that I am trying to make points of. I don't care if its an untouched zombie but if it's something that I used my pistol ammo to get hit marker points and then I want to melee them for a perfect 250point kill they just steal it.

I agree with this, but only on early Rounds.

2. When he/she gets a drop without announcing. But this is a very common case.

Max ammo: You can save a clip. True.

2x: If end of the round, I would save it and use it next round whenever possible. True.

instant-kill: same as x True.

Nuke: wait till end of round I disagree. At the early Rounds, okay, if you can. But late Rounds, just get it whenever there's a full spawn to get 24 free kills.

Fire sale: wait until you inform da player and he is at a good box position True.

Carpenter: Make sure to avoid those for quicker spawn I disagree. If you're in the really high Rounds and your strategy depends on this, I could understand. But if you are on any Round below 20, I think that it's just petty. Other players might need that extra time since they aren't as skilled.

3. When I go for the box, I don't like being followed or when someone boxes right after I do. I always ask them to either go first or wait until I am finished using box. This really pisses me off. Because I give up my good guns trying to get a gun that I need to so we don't have to wait until the gun is back in the box. I normally pick up what it gives me. But when other players use the box they waste so much time and to wait until they get weapon of their choice. I understand sometimes if you don't have enough time its inevitable to wait until you get a right gun. This is something more particular to you than everyone, but I can see your point.

4. Some people just don't get the color priorities. No matter how much I explain them they don't care. For example I tell them to please hold the crawler away from me because I am white labelled player and would have priority of being attracted by zombies than any other colored player. It's simple, white, blue, yellow and green with Green player getting least attraction that he/she is pretty vulnerable to zombies thus can take up difficult positions which white or blue player cannot. "Color priorities" are nothing but wishful thinking.

5. When I tell them something from experience they just think I am commanding them, and they start telling me stories about how far they made it to and what their high rounds are, and that they are better player than I am. This just makes me wanna troll them.

Also when I ask white labelled player to train they often ignore it. They are too worried about shooting zombies and making points instead of training them. Some green player get offended when I have white /blue players training and they simply tell the color priority is nothing but bs. I let them do what they want to and once they get double back by zombies, they get it. I would be offended too. The decision of who runs circles, if such a decision needs to be made, should be determined by skill level of the players, not some false predetermined notion of superiority of certain players by color.

6. Reviving: Okay its simple, when you come to revive me try not kill any zombies. I know you want to take revenge but your priority is to get the other player up before. Even after reviving they have no sense of holding the zombies until the other player waits to get his/her perks and get set up. True.

7. Leaving crawlers at end of round: I only ask for crawlers when its end of round. Call me whatever but you don't need a crawler to hit the box at end of each round or to unlock pap room in ascension. If you are half decent at this game and don't care about hogging box for good guns right away when game starts this should be piece of cake. Be a team player. I don't see what the big deal is. The PAP can only be unlocked once. Players can only go to the box by as much points as they have.

8. Rage Quit: No.1 on my list is this. People often leave the game when they go down in middle of challenges. Yes, this happens to most good people and they rage quit, I ask their friends why they did that, and they simply tell me it's "Game over for him", they went down. Really? What about rest? What about the 4player challenge? Some People are so clever to unplug their modem or source of internet to trick their friends into thinking that there is a connection interruption or they got kicked out. I hate it when people do that.

9. Lag: I understand every time you host you have good connection than other players in lobby. But people fail to realize that even the host himself CAN lag IF other players in the lobby have shitty/unstable internet. Yes even on 4 bars. Another misconception that most people have is 4 bar connection is flawless, NO. A 4 bar can lag you to death if it is unstable meaning switching from 3-4. Even a solid 3 bar can give you insane lag sometimes. This happens mostly when non-host players have too much load on their connection or if they are using a wireless. It's not always host's fault. It's not really ANYONE's fault. It may not be fun for you to play with laggy people, but what are they supposed to do? If they could fix it, they would've. But they don't have the resources or knowledge. You shouldn't hate them for that.

10. Console/ Frame lag vs Internet Lag: Most people that don't play co-op with more than 2 players just don't believe that there is any such thing as frame lag. Last time I told someone that it is hard to get past 30+ because of frame lag they laughed at me and said no, there is no such thing. They told me it's the internet lag and they have never seen anything like this before. Okay so console lag is something that you face when there is too much going on in the game, let's say someone is shooting raygun, thundergun, someone throwing grenades, someone throwing gersches, using traps, 100's of stacked claymores....etc this can pretty much give us frame lag/console lag and also terminate the game with "g-spawn error". Most times when there is frame/console lag you go down before you know you were hit, just like internet lag. So is your problem people not understanding that? I've never had such a discussion personally.

Bonus: When I ask people what they want to play, they always say anything really. And some people say regular game or a high round game. No, please tell me a target round so at least if you want to do a "for laugh game", I know I am not wasting my time here. Most people don't realise that other player are only there to spend limited time with them and to see if they socialize/click with them. They are not going to do an all-nighter if they don't want to. It's always good to know or plan something ahead before you start a game. If you want to a high round game inform ahead what round you like to reach so they can reserve time. True.

More Bonuses (Last one): Sometimes When I play zombies, I am too tired from work and daily crap so I just wanna kick it and not use mic, if I don't pay attention to your personal stories, may be its time to stop talking. You don't need to ask me who I would choose between Scarlett Johanssen or Jessica Alba to date unless you are Jay. I'd say Both. Just tell them no. I've stood up to many a player who wanted to talk about something that I would have no part of.

Note: Please note that I did not mean to point fingers at anyone by making this thread. I thought this would bring some proper zombie slaying etiquette but keep in mind that these are just my opinions.

One thing I hate though is when players try to do glitches. I refuse to partake in it, and they get all mad. Sometimes they go as far as saying I've ruined the game for them by not doing it. It always ends the same: they die and I live on until one of them ends the game.

Happy Slaying.

Cool story bro, but this thread is about things we dislike about random games. not bag on way2g00's opinions. take it somewhere else please.

D A N G, i m going to give this a try soon Tess, perhaps tonight.

I'll be there to watch! It'll be the first time i'v ever seen anyone else try it. Get ready for a racing heart man, it gets hectic and extremely fun up there at the top of the tower xD

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Great work guys, wonderful strategy :D

Uploaded a recent game, I think this is the place to post it

EVERYTHING Way2g00 said! Pinpointed a lot of annoying things in random games that i'm sure all of us have experienced at some point or another :/

But even if I find the most annoying people to play with in the world who do a majority of these things on a daily basis, I still play respectfully. I still go for revives like a bat outta hell, I still keep that crawler at the end of the round, I still escort downed players to their perks even after being trash talked for 25 rounds. This is for a few reasons:

#1 - Because it's simply the right thing to do. Trolling people back and holding grudges isn't worth the effort for the couple hours that game will last.

#2 - Because I like to think that playing the way I do will teach others how to play the same. Monkey see, monkey do.

#3 - Because players like us who understand the game in ways that average everyday randoms don't can probably play the game to any situation. (I.E. - letting the other players decide which doors to open and what spots to train won't affect the way we play our game.)

While a lot of these things are annoying, they don't make the game impossible to play. Think about it, if every single game you played went exactly the way you wanted it, how much variation and fun would you have in it? I think of little things like players taking my kills and opening up the wrong doors as small challenges that keep the game fun

I guess my message here is even though there are frustrating people out there to play with, we should still be calm and courteous :)

Either that, or this means we're looking too hard into things in this map that we think would hold significance, and that we need to look into less obvious things.

I agree with this, I think were looking too hard into it.

This is indeed the fastest I have ever seen Shino Numa run, good work. Definitely going to use this if I try shino anytime soon ;)

Brilliantly put as always Eye! I don't think this topic could have been phrased any better :D

I've never seen a glitch like that happen before xD Good job on the record btw

I'm down :)

For me, RelaxingEnd was my first real mentor.

I used to be an average player, getting to the mid 20's and feeling accomplished. I didn't care about records or leaderboards, all I cared about was having fun. I never in my wildest dreams thought it was even possible to get past round 40 until moon came out.

Everybody in random lobbies were going crazy because there was a new solo leaderboards on it so I took a look at them. I saw the scores and thought to myself "I can do that." so I hopped my happy ass on over to solo and gave it a couple tries and after 30 games I went back to the leaderboards to find that I was rank 44 with a measly 37 kills out of all the people who had bought moon. I felt so proud, so happy. I wanted to go brag about it to everyone I met, but my rank started going down as other people got higher and higher kills. Soon I was rank 100, 200, 500. I had to question just how these people were getting so many kills, and that's when started looking for NML videos and stumbled into RelaxingEnd.

Watching the way he played the game AMAZED me and I thought to myself "....why can't I do that?" so I started analyzing his videos and trying to mimic the way he played. Soon enough I started to understand the way that the zombies moved, and all the different ways I could move around them. I started looking at the game from a strategical standpoint and wondered just how far I could take it. After a week of practice, I had gotten my score back into the top 100 and was satisfied with it for the time being, and that's when I wanted to start getting all of my scores that high. If I could do it on one board, why not all the others? I started looking all over the internet for strategies on all of the different maps, techniques, information on the different guns and perks and eventually ended up here on Codz.

I had stumbled onto The Master Strategy guide here and was amazed and overwhelmed with not only the content of the guide, but the people who had written it. So many awesome players coming together to write a whole world of information on the game.

That guide and this community are my second mentor. With the knowledge from these forums, I turned from a mid 20's player to a round 50 player, and I'm still getting better and better everyday.

Jugg is essential, therefore I don't really consider it like a "Perk". A perk in my eyes is something extra that adds to the game, not something you practically can't live without.

With that said, Stamin-up is my favorite. It's always the perk I buy right after Jugg. It just makes the entire game play more smooth, especially in Co-op or with a team of randoms that constantly go down while hitting the box when its in the farthest corner of the map... >.>"

I also personally like Deadshot. Everybody has their own play-style, and mine involves tight trains and a lot of close quarters with the zombies. I don't always have that much time to shoot at my train, so when turning around for a quick shot I like to make the most of them. With reduced spray, it makes hip-firing MUCH more effective and as for zooming into the zombies heads, its another one of those things that just makes the game a little more smooth and enjoyable.

However, Stamin-up and Deadshot arent on all of the maps, so when not available, I'd choose Speed-cola to replace stamin-up as my favorite, and double tap to replace deadshot :)

I don't know really, Id say it's pretty hard to quantify what I do as its entirely situational.

^This.

Personally I love fishtailing. Its like screen shaking, except with MASSIVE left and right turns to the point where your facing and moving sideways most of the time. Instead of wiggling my way through a horde, id rather twirl like a ballerina :D

Nice run man! I updated the leaderboard.

And are you seriously running a train of zombies in the god damn power room of Ascension? That's some pretty impressive skill I gotta say.

Very nice once again! [brains]

Thank you very much And why yes, yes I am running a train in the god damn power room I was also running one at the sickle as well. still trying to figure out the area next to mule kick though :/ THAT will be impressive... x)

Great run dude. I died like this on my first attempt at 96. Then I never hit the box in between rounds.

Thanks man I only hit the box midround to speed the game up. Went to round 100 in about 12 1/2 - 13 hours of straight playing! That and i love the rush of close quarters with a full pack xD

Hey guys, I'd like to post up my most recent run at Ascension here

a6JoWoN8iBo

Sooo, im not very good at introductions, but here goes nothing.

My name is Gus, i'm 18, and I live in San Diego, California. I'm an Xbox gamer & I absolutely LOVE zombie. It's somewhat of an addiction xD I found this site months ago and have been lurking around looking at strategies and techniques and just gawking at the amount of great players that are on here im amazed at this site, and at all of you who contribute to it i can't really be of any help, it seems that almost everything to say about zombies has already been said on here about 5 times each, so what i guess i really wanted to do was say thank you to all of you for sharing your knowledge to better the games of everyone. I know that my own game has greatly improved in the last month, and i know that its because of you guys, so thank you :)
