Same here. I've always stuck with my groups going back to the days of
R6, CS.

I heard a strategy is one person to get his attention and that person
constantly run away or around, whatever while everyone else shoots at
the tank.

I think you mean Smoker. Hunter is the one that lands on you.
Also before you are completely strangled, you have a couple seconds to
see where the tongue is and to shoot at it or at the hunter and you
can free yourself.

Good stuff! Definitely kneel. It also increases your accuracy. Again,
agree about decreasing the horde attack points. When the horde rushes
don't stand out in the open. Get on top of something or get in a
corner.
Pipe bombs FTW.

Yup, need more discussion about it!
Some of my thoughts:
If the Boomer has vomited on you, and you are surrounded by horde -
KNEEL! So your friends can kill the zombies without hurting you. And
you can just aim up at the zombies heads.
Also, go find a corner when you've been vomited on. Don't let your
friends suffer from the horde attack plus it will lessen the number of
aways horde can attack you, i.e. they can't surround you.
Always try to get on high ground! It slows down the zombies, boomer,
whatever, as they try to climb to you giving you more time to shoot
them before they reach you.
You don't have to shoot and kill EVERY zombie. Some are very content
with staring at a wall. Rush into a room look for pills, ammo, if
nothing, leave. Zombies will probably not even know you were there.
MELEE, MELEE, MELEE the Hunter when he is on top of your friend! And
MELEE almost always anyway to keep multiple zombies off you and during
reloads. You can start a reload, then melee, then finish reload and
shoot before zombie finishes attacking you. Also MELEE when in close
quarters to get zombies off your friends so you dont shoot zombie AND
your friends.
I've only been playing for like 3 days now but am still learning the
maps and, where ammo is, etc.
