I still think the game is too short. Zombies pretty much look, move and sound the same. Yes we have Witches/Chargers/Boomers/Tanks and Hunters, but that's what we had in the first game. A Jockey and a Clown are new....oh and a CEDA whatever dude. Some melee weapons are fun for about 5 minutes (*GONG* sound w/ frying pan and yes the Machete never gets old). Still there isn't enough there (for me anyway) to say , ".........this is a game I just gotta get back to soon!". Ellis' stories are good and watching his face screw itself inside out telling the tale is humorous. Rochelle, Nick and Coach talk some shit too. Where's the flame thrower? Maybe a jello gun so they slip all over the place? Have a weapon that drops a 10 ton weight on a bunch of them? (Monty Python). I played a PC game called MDK that had The Worlds Most Interesting Bomb. When you dropped the box, enemies floated over to and above the thing then at some point it blew up. Or a decoy (resembling a survivor) that would rock back and forth on sqeaky wheels and the Zombies follow it. Chainsaw runs out of gas in 1 minute..............and................you can't fill it up.

 

Not a bad game by any means, just not the over the top hype I was reading about. Grab a car or bus and run them over (Radar Zombie Love)? A part of the map where you have to emulate Zombies to get past a section (Grateful Stealth)? Zombie Toss? Zombie Extract? Transplant the heart of a Zombie into a Survivor member and make it to a certain point before he dies? Carpet Bomb Zombies from a plane? Lure Zombies into the water and electricute them? Play Rock-Paper-Scissors with them?

I think at some point I'll pick up L4D2 as well. I played the first one and it made me a bit sick. Actually my wife loved playing it with me, but it got boring after a while. Graphics on new one look better and it's set more in the day time with less "flashlight vomit" levels. If I get it we'll play some. Me with an M16

I got motion sickness from Far Cry 2 and Infamous. Spec Op missions in the helicopter? Fergittaboutitt! What about a weapon where you throw a lightning rod in a map like Heavy Rain? Or a thig-a-mhah-gig that has Zombies turn into fatties and you push them aside like Weebles? Or Co-op "Clothes Line" a whole group?
