Thanks to my friends, I’ve gotten four more golds last week! Survival mode definitely emphasizes team work. This is a continuation from part one and part two.
Dead Air: The Terminal
Death Toll: The Boathouse
No Mercy: The Gas Station
Blood Harvest: The Warehouse
Dead Air: The Terminal
This map is pretty easy - you can see the zombies and special infected from far away. I was able to do this with two other friends and a CPU. Three of us had shotguns, and one person grabbed the M-16 (for the specials). First, we all grabbed pipe bombs or molotovs near the bathrooms. Then we stood on top of these newsstands and trash can.

A continuation from part 1, I’ve gotten gold in 4 more maps.
Dead Air: The Runway
No Mercy: The Generator Room
No Mercy: The Hospital
No Mercy: The Rooftop
Dead Air: The Runway
For this one, grab the M-16 or hunting rifle. This is to take care of the smokers and some of the tanks. This one has little instructions - you want to run behind the rescue plane, up the hill, and jump on a pile of suitcases.

Who’s addicted to Left 4 Dead? I am! I am! *raises her hand* I have been for the last half year. I love the game because co-op is done very well. I’m not a competitive person (hence I tend to stay away from versus games). So when they released Survival Mode, I was excited because that meant more chances for co-op. You have unlimited time to prepare a spot to defend, but once you trigger the event, waves upon waves of zombies, special infected, and tanks will come for you. Sometimes there are 4 smokers or hunters at once! And two tanks at the same time! So it’s really exciting, and the goal is to survive for at least 10 minutes in each map.
Here are some sweet spots for some of the maps that helped me get gold. I’ve also included screenshots because sometimes a description doesn’t quite help. Some of the screenshots I’ve also marked some letters on to illustrate the most common places special infected will show up. Green S for smoker, Red H for hunter, Red T for tank, and blue Z for regular zombies.

To me, Second Life is a 3D version of the internet - a place to socialize, a place for creating and building, and a place for social studies. Ultimately these different aspects come together to form the next natural step - a place for business. I’ve touched upon part of the basics of Second Life in my post A Cursory Look at Second Life.
As I described previously, you can meet up with your friend across the world and go virtual-clubbing. But wait - what shall you do about your avatar’s clothes? What about your avatar’s hair? Interestingly, most people are emotionally attached to their avatar because it represents them. Take Sheado’s comment “when my pants don’t render fast enough I do feel a tinge of embarassment =D”. I agree with that - I feel my avatar is an extension of me.
