Hello mate. well what i do is buy myself a gewehr63 about round 2. round 1 shoot them 5 times iin the legs only then stab them. round two you last till say round 4 or 5? with a gewehr. soo about round 4 lets say you have about 3000+ points, u open the wooden gate that leads downstairs, NEVER open the stairs, because if ur camping by the box to get a gun the zombies can attack u from behind, atleast if ur backed to a corner u can use that little corner at the bottom to back up to. trade ur pistol for a good weapon in the box, because if you dont get a good weapon on ur first try at the box or a teddy bear, then u have your gewehr to rely on untill u can buy a thompson. so once you've opened the gate you should had 2000-3000 points left all according how many you rack up between rounds 2-4 or 5 and you can try the box. be very carfull about round 5 because the dogs could come at any time round 5-7...in this case, a submachine gun or machine gun (ppsh,thompson,mg-42, or a shotgun) would be quite good against them. just behind the box there is a little corner which is good to camp behind in the dog rounds. well thats my strategy anyway, if you are looking for other good strategies http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Shi_No_Numa that is a good site for strategies and trivia. hope this helps.
