Yeah Crimson, I just found out earlier this week that you could do that. I had done it a few times before by accident and wondered why he "let " me go. Then saw a vid of someone doing it at will. That stupid astronaut has grabbed me at critical points in the game( rushing to revive a downed partner, running to hack an excavator) so started testing to get away. Some say you just pull back, others say you hammer the A button too. Please test away, this board is for us to share our knowledge and make our gaming experience better.

Lol...it's all good. Can't tell you how many games I've lost to to the wierdest stuff that happened. After the initial shock wore off we all just laught for a 20 mins, it was hilarious to hear grown men screaming like girls. I'm not sure, it's so random that I think it was just pure coincidence that it sent him to that tunnel. We always open 6 because there's more options on that side, it's more open and you have the MPL & the M16, also it drops you right next to the stakeout. 11 sucks, as you only have the PM63 & semtex, and that 1st room is a deathtrap. So we norm go the other way, we were just opening it up for the EE and there he was. But Buhlayz if he's giving you issues, try the escape move, it def helps.

Exactly.....hahahaha noooooo! Try this one: One'o'clock in the morning...We're playing in the dome and I throw a gersch to see if it kills him. He gets sucked away..."yaaaay, Hey guys I just killed the astro with a gersch!" About 3 rounds later we go to open up tunnel 11 which had been locked the WHOLE time, and who's in there waiting for us???? "Ahhhh, what the....?!?!? Nooooo!" Yep, the gersch threw him into a LOCKED part of the map, where he "moonwalked" for 3 rounds just waiting for us. 1st time ever seeing this. It was like a horror movie guys........he decimated us, slid from person to person so fast in those small rooms on that side and stole EVERYTHING. Game over.......

That's not always true. It does seem like that though. It's funny because a friend and myself were testing this just last night. I was the host and we were both able to break free. It does seem to be hit or miss though and I think the main thing has to be with the timing. You have to do it as SOON as he grabs you, almost anticipating the grab. I also think that the gravity has something to do with it. ALL the times we did it with no problem were in low gravity. If he grabs you in an air lock its over, can't break free. We didnt have the chance to try it out in the dome with the power on though so I cant be sure. Also space is a factor as well. If he grabs you and your back is close to something it doesn't seem to work either. Once he grabbed me in low gravity but my partner was right behind me and I couldnt seem to back away. So what I've gotten so far is 3 factors: 1: Timing- you have to attempt it immediately 2: Gravity 3: Availible space to move If anyone else ahs noticed anything relevant please feel free to add on. I wanted to get this down pact because that stupid Astronaut has ruined some great games for me. Good luck out there....

Nah dude.....not talking about the "live action" part. I was talking about the gameplay part. At 1:53 in the video you can see Dempsey shoot at another astronaut. I mean we're all gonna just be speculating until the 23rd, but Im gonna put that in another class of zombies. Yeah, I did see the divers in COTD but they didnt explode when killed. To me it looks like killing these guys can inflict some damage similar to napalm zombies. Dempsey shoots, space guy explodes, and the blast sends Dempsey flying into the air backwards..too cool..can't wait to play.

So this was discussed before? I havent seen any info on it. So now there are at least 3 types of zombies? Normal, crawlers, and now these spacesuit guys. Are they the infamous phaze zombies or something else?

Noooo my friend. Look at this trailer : at the 1:53 mark a player in a space suit shoots another "player" in a suit that looks exactly the same and that "player" explodes and sends the shooter flying back ward. The guy that gets shot isn't even carrying a gun. Which makes me THINK that maybe zombies can wear the suits too, make you drop your gaurd to get close? IDK but if anyone knows about what I'm seeing I would love to know.

Ok guys maybe I'm late, but in the zombie labs trailer at that mark why did the guy in the spacesuit get shot and blow up?????? can the zombies wear suits too? Is it a trick to make you think it's your teammate and get close? If I missed this info please enlighten me....
