Forum:Tank Parking

I've seen a few instances of it on youtube. I was wondering what everyone's views are on this, and also, if it is still possible or not.

For those who don't know, Tank Parking is when, on Versus, the players who gain control of the Tank find a place a distance away from the survivors that you know they are going to pass by, like around a corner. Then when the computer takes over, it doesn't see any survivors, and so it doesn't move until it does see them (like it would on campaign).

I've always wanted to see it happen, but I'm sure that if it happened to a lot of others they'd be pissed off.

For instance, one video showed players park a tank at the top of Mercy Hospital after the ladder, in the far right corner. It beat the players quickly parked there, and I have to admit it seemed kind of mean. When I have the chance I'll link the vids.

So to reiterate the questions,

Is it still possible to do?

Do you think Tank Parking is wrong?

Or is it just another tool the advanced players use to beat the opponents?

I didn't mind it. It's sort of like playing chess with a Tank. Only now the "piece" can beat the ever loving crap out of you. And no, it cannot be done anymore. It was patched. So now after being denied by two Survivors, it'll automatically be controlled by the AI. Jo the Marten ♠  ( Shriek )  ಠ_ಠ  17:54, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Here's a couple of vids of Tank Parking

The action doesn't officially start until just after 2:30 for this one. Krishna d 18:58, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
