Some infected simply make easy points, while doing easy things. Other don't.
EXAMPLE: Take a duo hunter / spitter. The hunter does well, lands on a surviror, aimed for him and gets on his victim. At the same time, spitters spawn (quite easy...) aims for the person the hunter is hugging (quite easy...) and spits (press left click... quite easy). The other team kills quickly the hunter, leaving the survivor in the spit.

Result : Hunter will have maybe 5 to 10 points for this, and the spitter: a few damage points from when the survivor was downed by the hunter + a lot of other points from when the survivor is trying to escape the spit (In the end, 20 minimum) and it can be a lot more if the survivor has commons on him. So the hunters gets at the most half of the spitter's points, whereas he has probably done a better job.


No need to give the example of the tank, hitting a car and doing 5000 points does obviously not make you 10 times better than someone who has 500 points for playing the game normally, no matter how good of a car thrower you are.

It is also clear when you and your team create a strategy: Dead center, second map, attack from the roof, at the right of the safe room. A jockey goes first, as a diversion, and has an important role. But in the end even if boomer does well and others too thanks to him, he'll get barely anything because killed in a few seconds.

Another one is the fact of spitting on gas cans on the last map of dead center. You get 0 points by setting a can on fire (whereas you need to know when you should spit on which can, not always easy), and if you're really good and that you stay alive for long, you may have set a lot of cans on fire and in the end still have 0 points !

The Boomer can be the best infected, puking on the whole team, making them blind and making a horde appear, while all other infected get them easily because they're stuck / blind and make lots of points. The Boomer made the hardest and the most determining part of the job and gets maybe 60/70 points max for doing an awesome puke, and other get hundreds.

But simply vomiting on survivor down, simple as hell, and you get hundreds of points because each zombie hit is = 10 points.

Here were a few examples, but I'm sure we all can imagine hundreds of more.

Once again this not meant to be a guide. If you disagree, and I know a lot do try to leave a constructive comment and not a useless "All im hearing is that his pu*sy hurts". The fact is that for now no one proved me that I was wrong.

If you really want to judge other players, if you like so much calling others noobs, then do it, be an ♥♥♥♥. But please don't refer to those stupid points, they don't mean anything. The only way to know the skills of a player is by watching him/her play, if he/she can use the infected in the right way, if he/her is able to attack with others, take initiatives etc... So stop calling other noobs and start giving advices instead.

And if you're only interested into your own points, skills and results, L4D2 is simply not made for you anyway. Call of duty is.
