INCENDIARY vs EXPLOSIVE

[Maur0]

Which of these special ammunition do you like most and why?

[Kurotaro]

Incendiary, it allows DOT on anything that doesn't die right away/runs away.

[Zombie Tsunami]

i like them both, but i hate it when players shoot all the common infected with incendiary rounds up close...restricts vision and is a waste..

[↑↑↓↓←→←→BASelect]

Frags, cause i like watching the body parts fly around.

[Blaquicat]

I personally dont like incendiary much, to much fire blocks sight, besides explosive rounds stun special infected, meaning 1 shot can save a pinned friend.

[Stark Raven]

Incendiary, because some survivors just want to watch the world burn. That and I have problems with the splash damage on the frangible rounds.

Frag ammo with military sniper is pretty OP. It can take out several common at once (useful in realism) and is pretty nice when having to rush somewhere.

I perfer incindiary. Explosive ammo causes too much friendly fire due to the splash damage. Most people on public games do not understand this & repeatedly damage teammates because of it. This leads to me doing vote kicks against people. Explosive ammo seems to cause negativity in my experiences.

[Mod Sloth]

I hate 'em both. I nearly always play with at least one inexperienced player. Friendly-fire is pretty much guaranteed.

Frags, cus then i got a good excuse to kill my friends

Explosive is more useful, but may also be devastating for the team in higher campaign/realism difficulties. Each shot guarantees you a temporarily stunned SI, including the witch, which is even more valuable if you have high ammo capacity per clip (i.e. 50 in Uzi). And, as has already been mentioned, 1 shot saves a pinned teammate + stuns SI. Also, if you pick up explosives while wielding any shotgun, it magically transforms into a Railgun from Q3, and you're able to score distant and highly accurate shots, which is ridiculous, if you ask me. x)

Speaking about its devastating effect: a lot of people (myself included, but I don't do that anymore) forget they have explosive ammo on, and they shoot any infected in close combat, which deals (huge) damage (on Realism Expert), and stuns the survivor as well, which may get you pinned by SI, while you're helplessly recovering (shotgun only, as I've recently found out). So just watch your fire and you'll be good.

Incendiary just lights up infected, 1 shot kills commons/special commons (not CEDA hazmats), Tank & SI start burning for 5 seconds, with exception of the Witch, 1 hit sets her on fire until she dies, which saves you a molly.
As has already been mentioned, if you set a horde on fire, your view will be reduced by all the fire, so you can occasionally get pinned by SI. If you play on low violence, however, you won't see any fire.

Incendiary.
Because setting on fire a tank with an upgraded grenade launcher and watching him hide and wait for the fire to go off is the highest level of trolling in the game.

Is there anything you DON'T votekick for?

But seriously I like them both, incendiary ammo is my favourite for hordes and tanks as one shot will insta kill common infected and the DOT can take out a hunter or smoker if they run away before you've finished shooting them.
Explosive ammo is nice but seems rarer than incendiary rounds. Freindly fire is also kind of inevitable with it so I don't really save it unless I know there's a tricky part coming up.

Is funny.. certain peeps votekicks for w/e reason and then comes to the forum and advocate that everybody should play the game they want.

Hypocrazy or just a contradiction?

All I ask in games is :

- Do not shoot / damage teammates.
- Do not cause a negative environment. To troll / grief the game , A.F.K too much , A.F.K too long & ANYTHING verbal that causes players to be angry , frustrated and / or disrespect each other are things that cause negativity.

So it's simple really. Common sense is the only thing you need so I won't have to vote kick you out.

There are reasons to vote kick. Just not 1 or 2.

I don't mind freedom. But there HAS to be some control. Otherwise the trolling / griefing would be worst.

I could have left out certain details of what my expectations were.

Incendiary i don't really like because many times you can't see a thing firing. I rarely pick it up. Love explosive, does a great job but kinda dangerous depending the team mates.
