did you tested the "hard" mode?
i think the amount of enemies that spawn is bigger than the space on the map (round 8)
edit: error, the round 10 in hard mode is barely possible to past, the amount of entities is enough for partial stop the game when the round start, even with smoke grenades, is hard to work with that amount.
if is needed, i could make a video.
I've managed to beat hard, you have the right idea with the smoke grenades. Over the coming rounds leading to round 10 pile up a bunch of smoke grenades in the center of the map and on the round time between the switching of waves 9-10 toss them into all spawn locations and pray. This works sometimes because as the waves go on the amount of time it takes for the infecteds to spawn in goes down exponentially. If you happen to miss some infecteds and you're getting piled on, run towards a rapidly inflating infected and sandwich it and you against a wall to trigger the game to spawn you in a set location as a failsafe to get you unstuck, this can help or hurt you, so make sure there are no infecteds in that area before you preform this. If done correctly it can give you some breathing room and get you away from a horde.
Best of luck!
I have a feeling you managed to do that on the bank map, if not, you found a good spot on the bus stop map.
I was trying to beat hard, on the bus stop map with a shotgun (which I used like a Winchester), my problem usually comes with killing the blimp fast enough,
The game slows down before I finish my task.
I tried to use smoke grenades, but with the amount of enemies, i lost accuracy and missed some spots.
Thanks for your advice!
edit: In the end, I finally manage to get it.
In some parts of the wave 10, I got a constant 4 fps...
My strategy was the same one used in Doom. Run around the object.
That is correct! I did it on the bank! It's useful to have 2 exits lead to the same area so you can cover the area with just a single well placed smoke grenade. I'm sorry I failed to add that I used the AR, congratulations on completing hard! If you ever attempt this again, I highly recommend the AR since it can pop infecteds in only a few seconds and eliminate them (that is, make them float and no longer damage you) with only one dart of the 50 it spews in a single given second, by waving your cursor back and forth at a large cluster of infecteds it can eliminate them all with ease.
