As simple as it is, you're just trying to get more points than the other guys. Stall tactics work well - you're doing your job if you're an annoying and pestering infected player. Making the game interesting for survivors is a good way of putting it.
I really enjoy playing as both the Infected and Survivors in Versus matches. The groups play very differently and that adds replay value, especially if they tie achievements into new abilities similar to TF2. Playing as a Survivor is much more hectic, confusing, and nerve racking. Playing the Infected requires more accurate coordination, timing, and communication.
The only thing that gets me in Versus mode is when people quit as soon as they enter the lobby. It seems that if the infected has already been selected, and someone joins, they quit. So sometimes it takes a while to get a team going. I love playing as both in Versus because it's just so different.
Wall jumping seems to be a key part of the Hunter strategy. If you manage to land from a high place the unfortunate survivor loses more health than if the Hunter was at ground level. Yay gravity!!!
Put your steam name in your profile, or send a friend invite to shortmediaprime (me) and I'll get you in the IC group so you can play on our private server.

...wrong system
taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank!
Haha. I wanted to. A couple other games came out, and I spent my self-set gaming allowance on them.
I'm grabbing it after work. w00t!
Thanks, IS. That was an amazing video. The more I play L4D, the more the versus mode, its variety, and challenges appeal to me.
Gross.
