Taaaaaaank!!! is unbalanced.

The tanks spawn an inch away from you, and can almost always hit you if they attack right away. Why?? Aside from that, the game mode is extremely enjoyable and I urge everyone to check it out.

Tanks never spawn an inch away from you.... You can actually hear them way before you ever see them. Whats probably happening is that they're spawning around corners and you walk right into them.

[Rusty]

That's not possible. The tanks spawn right in front of the furthest survivor. I have on several occasions noticed the tanks swarm the person in front.

Update: I was right.

[Aquatic]

I don't know what to tell you... I've played hunderds of times and you ALWAYS hear a tank before you see it. And tanks never just spawn.. when you hear them you know they're already spawned in somewhere. It's just a matter of finding it or walking around a corner and having it slap yo across the room.

Agreed with deadly, tanks usually spawn at certain points in campaigns, and randomly in others. But they'll never spawn in front of you, usually at least 5 yards behind.

[Rusty]

It must have been a modded server. I'll check it out later and update then.

Lol.... it is a mutation... find it under the mutation list on your main menu... and yeah the new guys are kinda right but that's only normal games...
In taaannnkkk it just best to all leave at once, run like ♥♥♥♥ and sprinkle ketchup on the other survivors xD
Deadly may of played a couple hundred times but obv not in this mutation... they do spawn on you.
It never was meant to be even but use mollies and bile on tanks AMAP

[Aquatic]

OOOOooohhh... so Taaaank is a mutation not a catchy thread title...
in that case i withdraw all my comments... This whole time i thought this guy was attacking the game in general.

[Espio.]

The mutation is not meant for being balanced, its meant for fun, nothing else.

[Rusty]

And fun it is.

[dHeX ⛤]

Mutations are not meant to be balanced, derp!

Gib Fest.

I wish more people played TANK.

[yesskillch]

The tank is so unfair in survival :P

[Merc1less]

think, it has been changed since the last update. I played on some servers too and the tanks spawn in front of you and in (closed) safe rooms now. (Think, valve use a kind of "z_spawn tank" now WITHOUT the "AUTO" param / changed the director in that way (just in mutation19)). - Sorry, i'm not a native speaker.

Confirmed, the TANNNK mutation is broken with the last major l4d2 update, the spawn points its broken, tanks spawn now inside the survivors, in the saferoom... it is a complete disaster.

Valve please fix it!!!! we cant play TANNNK mutation now, there are a huge community that play this mode and now we cant!!
