Having got most of the easier achievements in L4D2 together, my sister and I have been looking for more difficult ones to do. Mostly because we're both indecisive as heck and can never decide on what level to play without some kind of guidance!
We decided to brave one with a perceived higher difficulty, crossing the bridge of 'The Parish' level finale in under 3 minutes. The whole level is a gauntlet, running across a bridge that's been bombed out by the military while zombies swarm from all sides. It seemed impossible to get everyone this achievement, as at our best we could get maybe once person to the helicopter at the end alive, though most times we failed all together.
It became more and more apparent that this level somewhat goes against the grain of the rest of the game, at least for people at our skill level (which is low!). The game relies heavily on teamwork, however this level we seemed to have our best chances when we just went for it and ignored everyone else. As long as you weren't dead, merely knocked down to the ground, one person could get on the helicopter and take off (it won't take off while other people are alive and running)! So it became our tactic to just make a mad dash for the helicopter, and if someone was behind still when another person made it, it was their solemn duty to jump off the bridge so that the helicopter would take off within the time limit. Surprisingly, this worked remarkably well, and even the bridge-jumpers got their achievement.
I know now however to look out for my sister in a real zombie apocalypse, she was the best at ruthless play! She made it to the helicopter the most times and the fastest, leaving the rest of us and our helpless screams in the dust! (jk, I still love you)
Sorry broskies, this is one bridge I gotta burn! You don't have to be faster than the zombies, just faster than your friends right?
