I also vote for the L4D team. They're just much more team oriented, which is what wins it here, and yes, tactics matter in all areas, regardless of how open it is. The L4D team is stealthier, which helps a lot. They lack in intimidation, but honestly, when you go against tanks and the other special infected as much as the L4D team does, intimidation really doesn't mean anything. As for training, L4D has Bill, who may be old, but beleive me, makes full use of his training. For Strength, that's the Dead Island crew right there, I don;t have anything to really combat that. There are also two weapons that I see as useless. The Pipe Bomb (unless there are also zombies in the middle of the battle), and the Brass Knuckles. The Pipe Bomb is made for zombies, and only zombies, since it makes lots of noise, and blinks, the Dead Island Crew can stay away relatively easy unless the L4D crew also uses a Molotov Cocktail to trap them there. For the Brass Knuckles, well, I seriously doubt, that with all these weapons, that the Brass Knuckles will be able to play any role at all. I can go into the specifics of the weapons, but honestly. I'm just going to sum it up with I think the L4D weapons are better. Yeah, not good reasoning, but I don't feel like making this any longer than what it already is.

tl;dr version: I vote for the L4D team, and the Riverside Boathouse.
