wow 7 seconds into the video and i already see the satanic source spaghetti light flickering in the sfm bit that lazypurple talked about

This gamemode is so oddly balanced Scout is given every single tweak possible in order to make him viable, and Zombie Demo is not given anything in order to be viable

I love how the Demoknight mention is as simple as ' Don't melee the melee-locked Enemies, Play the Zombie shooter properly'

I'm impressed with the infallible and impeccable apexes of alliteration you achieve. The continuation of your coloquial capability could carry your content alone.

While the heavy is frozen in place after activating his enzyme, he takes increased melee damage - allowing for humans to sometimes one-shot him if he's taken enough damage prior.

Your animating skills just keep getting better and better, holy moly.

One thing that people forget about sentries is that zombies can surf with them if they're not placed properly. If you're a lone zombie, pass the sentry, then jump+crouch as the sentry boosts you _towards the humans._ It doesn't work with a crowd of zombies and your teammates usually kill sentries whenever they see one, but it catches people out if they're focusing on retreating.

Medic on the zombie escape server I play is usually used to counter non-instant kill stage hazards. Some maps are more dangerous than the actual zombies.

Zombie soldier used to be op when the whip was still enabled. Demo was an absolute terror when they could trimp on slopes and respawn with full charge.

the pvz ost sprinkled during the whole video just made my day a whole lot better. nothing like a little nostalgia to get me doing my homework a little quicker.

I love seeing Zombie Escape getting more love in TF2, it's a really underrated gamemode

SPY DOES BETTER THAN SNIPER IN A GAMEMODE? I never thought i’d see the day…

A rarity for any TF2 player to say: the red tape recorder is good. But this gamemode has done it, the red tape recorder is no longer useless!

I saw that flashing demon light there in the intro. This seems like it xould be such a cool game mode and a fun time, but I have had nothing but bad experiences with it. Maybe I'm just unlucky? Mainly because of the crappy infuriating maps and the fact that i'll just die randomly for no reason. I would add getting stripped to melee basically making you a free kill, but i think thats only on blackwonder from what i understand thankfully.

i recommend a custom gamemode called "Super Zombie Fortress". It's basically left 4 dead but in tf2.

Love the dialogue in this video it’s very well written

The only issue I have is where you overemphasis how useless damage is when on maps with bosses its essential since if you fail the DPS check then thats game over.

I love these videos about different "obscure" community TF2 gamemodes! They make me really nostalgic ngl.

Medic is much more of a crutch class to keep bad players from getting themselves one clapped. The crit boost doesn’t provide much of a knockback upgrade from the buff banner and Uber is really situational and is entirely useless on boss fights.

The alliteration is making me smile so much I can't explain how goofy it makes me feel but I'm happy and full of epic clap balls

When I played on Skial, I noticed that seems to be your account, so I commented that if you're recording for the Zombie Escape tier list, And it turns out I'm right lol. Although I had a hate and love relationship with the game mode, can't deny that it's where most playtime goes and it's fun as hell when everything works

the rough animation ( which is getting a lot better with each video and is good right now ) actually works really well for them zombie mercs! Great video, mate

As always, you adore your alliterations. This nocturnal insect of a gamer must admit that it is an admirable action.

Heavies mid-enzyme actually can't swing their melee after the full freeze starts, and they also get guaranteed insta-killed by melee weapons. It could be better. Still S tier.

Holy alliteration batman

Idea: for demo's enzyme ability, he can suck up anything within a range, and after 3 seconds, he will blast them all back, like an airblast. This works like airblast in relation to projectiles and allies, reflecting all projectiles and extinguishing teammates, and knocking back sentries too.

Always appreciate the witty humor alongside the geniue helpful tips you provide. Not much of a player of TF2 or its gamemodes, but I feel like turning on the game whenever a new video comes out. Keep up the good work my man 👍

the alliteration went from interesting at the start, to incredible annoying at the end, to moderatly amusing at the end... very interesting

Holy shit, how long did it take you to write this? The alliteration is simply amazing, and I didn’t expect to see such skillful speaking remain simply spectacular throughout. Great work!

It feels nice to see people talking about a pretty underrated gamemode.

love this video! the sfm, the humor, the alliteration, and useless knowledge i’ll probably never need but want to know make for a great video

Loved seeing you on the server, man. This is nearly the only server I play nowadays.

Just go all heavy it works

the dedication to the alliteration is commedable.

Hey there, i do agree on Spy being honestly selfish most of the time, but that's just how people play him, i often play him when we're too crowded on heavies and any major classes, providing distraction for those who fall behind. The same goes with Scout too, but i find scout particularly hard to avoid zombies....

49:37 Payday Bulldozer reference. Well done.

I like that zombie escape is so popular in CS:S, CS 1.6 & CSGO that it got ported over to Tf2 and is now a strong game mode in tf2 still.

about Survivor Scout, you forgot to mention his melees because unlike most of the other classes he has two melees that could still be of use in Zombie Escape: the Sandman and Wrap Assassin, the Sandman has a stunning alt-fire while the Wrap Assassin has an AoE Bleeding alt-fire

Damn i never play on skial server ZE (mostly on otaku server? It's been a while since i play any ZE) and boy did the meta really different. I might reconsider to try on skial server and learn again as a noob considering how different it is, i swear that feeling of discovery is always never old

Just to let you know Skial has managed to increase the player count from 32 to 60, at least on Skial Zombie Escape US. Though there are some bugs and crashes have been common earlier when trying to get the max amount of people. If all the problems are fixed you should enjoy playing 60 player zombie escape

I didn’t even know of this game mode now I know what I’m doing later tonight

Headshotting hypothermic heavy’s will halt their horrific hides hastily. Spy’s now signal their special spectral skin with spooky sounds.

I used to play the old version and it used to be way different because soldiers used to be op as hell, medic could use overdose to receive enough speed to outrun any class, demo used to be able to destroy anyone with loose cannon and hybrid knight, and lastly vaccinator used to give invisible buffs that I don’t even remember what they did. Those were good times.

The beggars shouldn’t be changed back to stock. It would be interesting to keep it how it is bc having multiple of the same weapon is stupid. I imagine the beggars would be rather powerful but burn through ammo insanely fast. Vaccinator should have the shield from mvm.

spy fan firing a 24 round revolver* also does he just refuse to actually compliment the red tape, or did he just not feel like recording a voice over

When I first started playing ZE they allowed you to use the disciplinary action. It was so great! I wish they had never taken it out. It wasn’t even unbalanced or anything, just made soldier way more useful

This is a pretty interesting list because the zombie escape i play is different but similar. 1. Zombies can have way more hp, zombo heavies get 50000 hp and scouts having i believe 18000-27000 if i remember correctly. 2. There is no enzyme but instead the server at the end of a round picks what mutation to give to the zombies. Zombies instead have passives (some of them arent listed because thale character already has those passives) 3. Some classes/weapons got new features to make them viable. Demo being able to tank hits from alpha zombies (we will get to that) without turning infected instantly, spy getting trip mines that freezes zombies in an aoe when triggered (as well as being invisible to zombies human detector), and huntsman getting explosive arrows 4. The mutations and alpha zombies are a trait given to zombies, alpha's are the stsrting zombies, they turn u into infected as soon as they are hit, while mutations are self explanatory, like speedboost, reduced knockback, increased jump height. 5. Demoknight is viable lel

if anyones wondering what the gas passer quick text is, its "appropinquat appropinquat"

my favorite part about this video is that at the beginning of each class you do basically a rhyming session with their names. it's awesome

I would put Sniper in C tier, honestly, solely for the Heatmaker + Jarate combo allowing for consistent stuns and decent DPS (due to no-descope making your shot partically charged when the reload is done). And Jarate works well to both amplify your and your team's knockback as well as getting your focus a bit more often. Don't get me wrong, Sniper is still very meh in this gamemode, but I just find D tier to be harsh for him.

Before seeing these videos, the only community server I went on was Uncletopia. Watched more of your videos and I realize just how much I have been missing out on.

Thank you for this, I've been playing this mod for weeks and never know which one is best

I'm late but absolutely amazing! Your animations keep getting better, pretty much agree with this especially with scout and pyro. Some servers make the Dragon's Fury and Phlog WAY busted since more damage = More kb is applied on the servers ( or majority, not sure )

I actually started playing ZE a few weeks ago. I'm glad that people still make videos of it

Mad respect for opening the video with PVZ ost.

My first time playing this mode, i accidentally fell behind the zombie mob as heavy twice, and both times managed to go through the horde unscathed.

The amount of alliteration in these always leaves me in awe and amazement of how awesome you are as using alminacs...And a bit of anger that I am not as good at it. Well I gave that a shot.

don't you just hate it when youtubers don't put the music names in the descrpition of the video

holy, amazing video you deserve more subscribers views and everything, dont give up im sure youll get recognized

The spy can actually disguise as a zombie and sneak past the zombies if the zombies are too distracted on getting to the survivors. Plus you might fool them by exactly what they are doing which is trying to get to the survivors. This actually saved my life once when I was playing as spy.

43:02, is that a dark souls reference, or i didnt get the joke?

This got me to start playing. I'm in love with this game mode now!

Keep up with these type of videos, I love reminiscing of some classic custom games and some I’ve never played before. Would you ever consider releasing the gameplay unedited in the background on a separate channel because I would love to see how full matches played out on your gameplay as they get cut off to the next segment?

obligatory comment praising the writing

wtf is the end music 😭

I'd argue that spies are not the most inherently selfish class, they're just the class that does best being selfish. Sniper is really the most selfish class, as he requires team protection to fill his role and cant even do it that well. At least if a spy stabs a zombie, it's distracted for a hot second on top of the damage, and he gets Uber to get out and do it again. Spy may have the most potential to be selfish, but sniper is actively bringing the team down on most maps by just playing how he's *supposed* to play.

“Your up against the wall and I am the fucking wall” - Skull Dozer

Something interesting, in one of the servers in which this game mode occurs, the huntsman is buffed considerably. It makes the charging of shots faster, aswell as add explosive arrows that can allow for better mobility as a sniper, which helps since the maps in the server are aided immensely by mobility boosts, plus they knockback zombies more. I will probably edit as I continue but honestly I find the differences quite interesting

wowie an hour? time to grab the popcorn

Omg this is the server I play on all the time! I never noticed you there :(

Hearing such eloquent sentences combined with the alliteration is a really unique touch, i have a short attention span personally and the alliteration always recaptures my attention. Good shit bro, your vids are really fun to watch and show me a side of tf2 have i havent really explored too much but looks really fun

The escape plan is pretty useful because the soldier can't kill himself with rockets as his HP can get only as low as 5. This means that if you have a medic you can get quickly back to max

Love your vids man but i'd like to know, what made you make the list based off skial's ZE rather than otaku.tf's ZE? Considering both are really different well...like, REALLY different. Skial makes a ton of changes to weapons and mechanics while otaku keeps everything mostly the same as vanilla. It's a big gap between both

huh, I played on otaku server, and to see vastly different metas is really interesting, zombie demo being the worst is shocking because in otaku where everything is oneshot and caberknight exist(Which is a fkin nightmare and heart attack to deal with).

The fact there is a game mode where pyro is top tier

This is my first time watching you and I really like your wording using the same starting word as much as you can

This might be the one gamemode where heavy is top tier. Most of the time, heavy is a giant bullet sponge who's destine to die early.

spaceguy online is real good sfm maker and facts useful acts many more 11/10

Engineer be like plants vs zombies

Solution for the Demo zomb problem of low range; swing, THEN charge

35:46 absolutely losing it over this scout that gets knocked into the fourth dimension

I have a feeling it’s going to be a lot harder to get a slot on the server now that this video is out. Oh, well.

Spaceguy's community gamemode tierlists are what makes me wanna breathe

spy's niche is to soften up zombies or finish off zombies but with how the map's layout and other things make spy seem more selfish. that's what spy's niche was meant to be anyways.

I can't believe they added Zombies to tf2, now I have to start playing tf2 again

Is there any chance you're gonna do a short tierlist or quick review of the popular TF2 ZE maps? Not all of them are good/fun obvs but most of them are unique and interesting enough that there's much to talk about Don't see it happening anytime soon because it's understandable that you probably wanna take a break from talking about this game mode after this hour long video, either way this was a good watch loved it

I don't know if the flashing lights, in the beginning, were supposed to be intentional or because of the flashing light glitch in SFM but they kinda work since it fits the trope of lights flickering on and off to try and unease the people watching

you use of a alliteration is always fuckin wild my man, great vid btw

Skial Zombie Escape is my favorite ZE server

An amazing attempt at aliteration and admirable animation.

Im surprised how interested I was with a tier list about a gamemode I never heard in my life.

Did anyone else catch what was on the screen when he showed the gas passer?

Milk

wait a teir list where sniper is bad and pyro is good

I literally have never played this gamemode but here I am watching this almost hour long video about it

0:22 Oh hey, you have that light glow entity bug. one of Lazy Purple's BTS vids had a fix for that where you just do a light glow entity deletion.

the fact is there is not too much people making videos or making tierlists about this good of a gamemodes

Holy shit, that’s an FFXIV MAP IN TF2

i love this. all the animations are awesome! (like some zombie animations based off of L4D) the Ost in the bg is great! (Pvz and L4D being some of them) and getting to know all the stuff behind this gamemode is quite cool and interesting.
