Right. Second mission completed and now I can use bayonets. Thank ****ing god.
So, eleven of us went up against about 30 zombies. They lined the top of a steep ridge that we had to assault. At the top was an item that would cause an end to the mission if grabbed. After some rather pointless maneuvering (one zombie got behind us and did **** all) I got a little irritated and so started shooting up the hill with my Nitefinder, hitting one, maybe two. After more pointless maneuvering, I eventually just started walking up the hill with a friend, on their left side, forcing the rest of the humans to start stringing up the hill. After seven of us got to the top, they charged, most angling down the hill. I, again, simply rushed through them, killing two and not coming close to being tagged, though an ambush did cut me off from the others. I also unknowingly ran right past the mission goal, which seems to have potentially got a lot of people killed. From there, skirmishing ensued. Apparently, the remaining humans split into two groups of five, one heading back down the hill. All five that went down the hill died. The other five at the top apparently survived. While that was happening, I was basically loading my one-shot, running up right behind zombies and shooting them, then retreating to the relative safety of an open field. After the third zombie dispatched in this manner, I saw the goal object and ran for it, grabbing it about a second before being tagged. Since the mission ended when the object was retrieved and a 20 minute safe-zone was immediately in place, I was ruled safe, as were the last five humans.
End result: Six humans may now use melee weapons, five of the more active humans were killed, and we could be in deep ****. One of the humans killed was an integral part of our group. He knows where we go, what classes we have, when we leave for clubs, how we enter and exit our dorm, etc. He was also one of the people I'd counted on to survive to the end, and he will make a good zombie. He also lives one door down from me.
The game got really interesting, in my opinion.
