Terrific Update. I just read through the patch notes and download is in progress. Lotta Quality of life fixes that really bugged me like Tokyo-2 defense kits getting dropped with C4 because I always try to bring an automatic turret from the bridge to the final battle to guard the fence and kill that pesky lurker spawn there.

One thing that needs to be in the next update is NYC-2 final battle. This happens so much in Solo Queue on mutliplayer it's like an inside joke. Your team makes it all the way to the end of the level and do very well then one random jackass runs to button and starts the final battle before anyone touches the end game loot or sets up any defenses. I think in order to fix this to start the "Final Swarm" you all have to be inside the control room before it can be activated. I'd say about 60%-75% of my games on 3 star+ difficulty are lost on this level because of rushed button pushing at the end by one person and everyone is scrambling to kill the idle zombies, set up defenses, and etc. I know it's not an isolated just to me either. Alot of the times I'm in a group and NYC 2 comes up and people quit straight out.

It's a great map though I wouldn't change a single thing except that... and maybe in the chamber with the falling zombies you can push the button to close the door if people are incapacitated, but all standing member are in the next zone. Alot of the times people get downed on the bottom floor just from not having any meds after the poison room. New players didnt bring a chainsaw or super shotgun to blow through the mobs and even then your party takes damage. It's a great spot that need alot of teamwork to get through, but sometimes you look at your health bar and know your boned cause you gotta pickup and crawl through it.

Really though my biggest beef is with the final button, I'd keep the rest as is if that could just be changed to a team "assembly here" then button push. It's gotten to the point I've even started skipping the level when usually I'll replay it out till I win.

Edit: Ok Insane mode is pretty impossible now offline you guys kinda broke solo play... You get hit by so many special infected at once one person has no chance. 2 bulls, an infector, 2 gasbags and a lurker in the first mall swarm fight not even 5-10 seconds after the swarm triggers. How are you supposed to deal with that? Oh yeah i forgot about 15 seconds in a screamer joins in, so you have to solo kill two bulls, the infector, hope the AI kills the gas bags and somehow keep the pyramid contained I did pretty good a few time but then the special infected reset 20-30 seconds later... its just too much

Also the Infectors seem overpowered or bugged. It takes 2 full clips to bring one down and I tested them with one behind bars and put 3 revolver shells into its head and it still didnt go down. These things are absolute bullet sponges and the disinfect takes way toooooooo long. cut the disinfect time down from 25%-50%

I play on xbox btw. I think the idea of two Bulls at once is a bad idea. They are supposed to be the juggernaut of infected and they do a pretty darn good job on their own. Fighting two bulls almost garuntees one grabs someone on your team cause there is just not enough room to maneuver while your fighting swarms of zeek and 4 other special infected at once. Special infected appearance rate is way higher to the point i'd say its broken and they are more of common enemy then special. The constant lurker spawns were bad but this is way worst.

Final thought after playing the patch for 15-20 hours on 3-5 star difficulties:

Bulls need to go back to one at a time. Infector needs a nerf to disinfect time and improved weakness to headshots. Lurkers are fine now Two gasbags at once makes more sense even though it is annoying, keep it.

Rest seems fine. Alot of the level changes were good especially Jerusalem 3, final fight is alot better and challenging besides the wonky number of special infected running around. I cant tell you how many times my team gets destroyed by two bulls it pretty sad when your team is doing so good and two people get bull rushed, you might as well hit main menu button at that point or if your a fixer masking grenade to the next checkpoint cause it's almost impossible to get rez off and fight the hoard with two people and it's causing me to lose alot of people mid game from giving up and I really cant blame em.
