hi edgar and nick, another thing you could try is to raise the footsteps of the zombies a little higher than your own, and mute other players footsteps for now. i was exactly like you guys when i first started out and now i'm on level 32 and quite experienced at it now i would like to think so anyways, watch me get killed next time i'm on there lol. you are right however it is very addictive, and their a great bunch on there.
