Wearing bread will not protect against zombies, teamwork though is key.
EDIT: Always try and play with friends, most public games are pretty horrible but with at least one person you can rely on its still fun and gets rid of most of the frustration from randoms.

You missed out on Steve.
Try to play the game with friends (see my sig for a list of people from here who have L4D2 and add them to your friends list) as playing with publics can be annoying at the best of times.

avoid pubs at all costs, especially french ones...
they rage as soon as the other team/your team has a point difference of 5

don't wonder off from the other 3 because you will just start another attack that otherwise wouldn't have happened. Take notice of other peoples health and heal them if you can, unless you need it yourself. At each safe room, try and get a health pack, use it, then pick up another if possible. Wait untill the others are done picking up what they need before you get the 2nd. Make use of the melee attack, it's very useful if you need to reload and are overcome with zombies.
One thing I've wondered myself is about flash-lights. No one seems to have theirs on so either it's bad to have it on OR you just don't see other peoples.

When playing as infected one of the biggest tips I can give you is to make sure you all attack together. If you go in one at a time they will make easy work of you.
We usually get one of the special special infected (usually a hunter) to jump around a bit and distract them, then whilst they are distracted get a boomer on them then the other three make their move and separate the boomered survivors from ones that are not e.g. you boomer 3 of them and you get the jockey on the one that isn't boomered and run them away while the others attack the remaining ones

Tip no.1 Buy Left For Dead and throw L4D2 in the bin.
Add a load of us to Steam from the Steam Names/L4D2 section and get in games with us. I don't play much often any more but all the names in this thread and any others in the list might be a good way to start.
There is also an OcUK L4D2 group, get on that!

Be wary of your three competitors! they will do eveything in their power to stop you getting the highest number of kills. They should be set on fire at every opportunity and some times it may be necessary for you to ignore their pleas for rescue in order to show them whos boss.

Yeh, add a load of us to your friends list (mine needs sorting as there are plenty on there who never play anything I do anymore 
) and make use of the LTUK (were the OcUK) game servers.
Join the OcUK L4D steam group: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/OCUKLeft4Dead
See this thread for more info. I try to keep the first post updated on important information, including links to other useful threads: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18065631

For goodness sake get the pace right... its very annoying (and generally fails the entire team) when someone either dithers around like its single player exploring every nook and cranny or rambos off into the distance.
The key is to keep a pace up as survivor enough that the infected are on the backfoot and can't ambush you but not so fast you end up strung out and easy prey.
As infected don't attack before boomer, if your boomer try to wait just around corners (and spawn just before they arrive) so even if you miss they have a hard time avoiding you - and the corner can act as a natural break between members of the survivor team preventing them shooting infected off each other.
