Zombie Panic: Source training

[crazyrockets]

Hello everyone! One of my friends forced me to install Zombie Panic:Source recently, and it is a pretty fun game. One problem that I've been having, though, is I am having trouble getting used to the gameplay style, as my main FPS is TF2, and they really are quite different (What do you mean, I can't W+M1 pyro?).
I am wondering if any of you that have the (free) mod installed would like to work out times to practice gameplay. Post if you would be interested!

A big thing with ZP:S gameplay is accuracy. If you can head shot, you'll go as far as you possibly can until you get mobbed. If you're out of ammo or multiple zombies are closing in on you, P key (Panic button) is your friend (sure you drop everything except what you're wielding but its better than death).

Staying in a group is imperative unless you're a very good player and even then it doesn't always save you. Survivability always goes up with more people unless they're all completely incompetent and can't aim.

In certain maps like Harvest where barricading is key, knowing how to position and utilize obstacles like furniture and barricade combos will save you and many of the idiots that you will be teamed with.

To move furniture, press H to holster your weapon and then r-click the piece to push it.

With barricades, you want to find a piece of wall or doorway that isn't obstructed by people and/or furniture or w/e else and then press R until it rotates to the desired angle and then l-click to set it. When utilized correctly, you can really buy a lot of time.

Your friend forced you? Like at gunpoint or something?

Just kidding, Zombie Panic: Source is my favorite mod. I enjoy it and I'll agree with what Orange Kun said. Beyond his advice, the best way to get better is just playing.

I'd be more than happy to roll with you. Feel free to add me on STEAM too and if you catch me online let's do it!
