Dead Space 2 - Multiplayer - Escape - Necromorph

Objective:

Docked near the Sprawl, the Human team must evacuate the Ishimura via the escape pods.

You need to prevent the humans from achieving their objective. To do so you need to either guard or defend a certain location or kill a specific human.

Tips:

Act as a team. To prevent the humans from achieving their objectives, you need to play together. That means, do not engage humans in a fight if you are by yourself. They will eliminate you quickly. Attack humans with other necromorphs. The most efficient way is to attack one human in a team of two necromorphs. One necromorph starts an execution attack and the other one is slashing away at the human.
Focus on humans near the objective and ignore respawning humans.
Slow the humans down. You do not necessarily have to kill humans. Slowing them down is very effective. Use the execution attack to do so.
Use your ability to see through walls to surprise humans.
Try and split up the human team. To do so, kill a few humans (not all) to make them respawn. The respawned humans will usually try to rejoin their teammates. While they are running to rejoin the teammates, kill the other humans.
When you are respawining, choose a vent close to the human objective.

Necromorph Characters:

The Pack: Very fast, small and a hard target for humans. However, cannot take a lot of damage. Most effective in a group and to distract or slow down humans.
Lurkers: Similar to the Pack, fast, small and hard target for humans. Cannot take a lot of damage. It is best to use the ability to wall-walk and shoot at humans from a distance.
Pukers: Stronger attack than the Pack or Lurkers and can take more damage. It is slow, big and an easy target for humans.
Spitters: Spitter have the strongest attacks and can take the most damage. Both melee attack and spitting is quite effective. It is best to surprise humans around a corner or shoot from a distance.

I recommend using either the Pack or the Spitters.
