I haven't tried in versus mode, but I know that in single player or
co-op, I can survive just about any horde more or less unscathed by
backing into a wall or corner and repeatedly swinging with the melee
attack. In fact, that's my usual tactic for getting through most
hordes: 90% melee and 10% gunfire. That's on a stock install without
any adjustment to the melee timing.
