amazed at how often this tactic works

against a single survivor -walk through one door, see someone, sprint around to the other entrance and shoot them in the back of the face, 90% of the time they're still looking at the door you came through.

against two or more - same as above but every time you kill someone, switch to the other entrance again. I was coming out of the barracks at the NW airfield, and at the first shed by the fence there, someone was looting some pile inside, blasted him a bunch with my pistol, saw his friend back out the door, sprinted around the fence to find him planning an ambush for when i came through the door, switched to my m24 and killed him.

Why don't people expect this ever? Is it because they expect everyone to move slow?

coming from a survivor, I'd imagine if I saw someone look in a door and see me, then bolt for it, I'd hide in a damn corner and keep both doors in my peripheral vision.
