wow... I absolutely love versus.
Tank isn't OP... \0= If you have a decent team you can knock him down in 30 seconds or less. I usually find myself unable to get more than one or two hits in on the survivors jumping around me blasting away before I die. (maybe that's the difference between a clan-based team and a pub team {no this is not a shot at anyone's skill level})
Hunter is still great... I spawn as a hunter 85 times out of 100 so I've gotten pretty good with him pretty fast. Wall jumping leads to hilarity and actually knowing when to pounce is the key. Stalking the limping guy almost always equals victory. And if you don't crouch until the last second the hunter makes no noise whatsoever so its always a surprise. I don't really understand what you mean by saying he cant do normal jumps to get out of the way, if I miss a leap I just keep holding crouch and froggy jump my ass outta there. Also, 4 hunters = instawin.
Boomer is fun just for the sheer hilarity. Camp the top of a building and skydive your fat ass on top of the survivors, trust me, someone will shoot you. Boomer is a good hit and run kinda guy... team up with a smoker or even a hunter... wait until the hunter pounces or smoker snags someone, run your fatty self up and barf all over them. I think I managed a x160 assist on a server that (unfortunately) was set on easy using this tactic. Also hiding just around a doorway, while not exactly inconspicuous, also lets you take a step out, barf and then blow up in a blaze of glory. Usually you manage to get one or two like this
Smoker is smoker... I find him to be a hit or miss kinda guy. I rarely if ever spawn as one even playing multiple campaigns. I try to team up with a hunter and snag someone as he pounces on another so he can maybe get one or two more hits in during the confusion.
And no, I don't think a one-shot maniac should be computer controlled. d0=
