Slay bodies...

I don't think you can lose aggro on sprinters ever, without killing them. (Unless in chopper or car).

Smoke Grenades work well.

^^empty cans or whiskey bottles also distracts them

Run very fast and possibly wave your hands wildly over your head.

I think you can lose them if you break line of sight, but that often requires speed and running makes noise. If the AI loses sight of a player, they will usually go to the last place they saw him or caltulate his last seen direction.

Don't alert them unless you want to fight. Check the eye and ear icon on your right side of the screen. They indicate how easy zombies can hear and see you. In unsafe areas always run crouched, when you hear the first moans switch to walking crouched. Walk on grass to reduce noise.

Chose where you fight and make sure you have enough ammo for the job. If you enter a loney house with a single or two zombies, you can easily take them out, but if you're in a build up area with alot of zombies nearby, they will overrun you when they hear the first shot.

If you have lots of ammo and lots of targets, enter and shoot all zombies inside, turn about and cover the door. Zombies are very polite and always enter houses in a line, they never run wild and crazy inside and some even wipes their feet.
