"LOLZ!! PWNED!!!!!!! NOOBS!!11!!1!"Those playing on the zombie team are able to move objects like the trailer that's blocking the door in the picture above. Those playing as the humans can't. In this screenshot the humans are in a lift, with an unmovable object blocking their only exit. There is no way to crawl under or jump over it, nor can you change floors. The only way to get past is to hope that someone on your opponent's team acknowledges what a cheap and pathetic tactic this is, and knocks the object out the way for you. Generally they won't, and very slowly but quite surely the survivors' health will be ebbed away by the unlimited respawns of their opponents.
This is one of those annoying built-into-the-game sort of exploits that spread like wildfire in a competitive online game. From my limited research, it seems the possibility of doing this was only discovered a little over a month ago, but now features in the majority of games I play against strangers on Xbox live.
The most annoying thing is that Valve patched the game just yesterday, but without fixing this. Bad Valve. I'll only be playing the unbroken 'Blood Harvest' campaign until they do.
