I agree with both sides of this. As the implementation is now, Versus needed to be locked to Normal.
But.... a) Difficulty for Versus should be a Game Setting selectable in the Lobby. b) With this would need some tuning to the scoring. Survivors need to get points based on how far long they get in a level, and as the difficulty is raised, those points need to be multiplied to compensate for the ramped up Infected damage output. Also need a Versus Campaign mode that doesn't alternate the players after every map. I don't want to go up against a crappy team of Survivors, wipe them out in under 3 minutes and then have to play as a Survivor for the next 15 minutes, when all I really want to do is play as Infected. If the Survivors get wiped out, their score should reflect this, but the next map in campaign loads and you carry on to destroy them again.
