Best game I have played in years. I rarely play any single player games but I loved the single player elements. The multiplayer game is probably the most unique and sheer fun that I have ever had playing online. 10/10 perfect game can't recommend highly enough. RUN and get this game (or download via steam)

2 things i dont understand about people who slate this game.

1 - They say its "4 Levels of gameplay" and that its around 4 hours of piddly gameplay.

Which is bullshit, they must be playing on normal or something because on expert it takes alot more effort to clear.

2 - People that say the team mates arent really that involved....

Again you must be playing on normal, and if your playing in versus you definately had the worst zombie team against you in the history of any online game.

Been waiting 2 years for this game to come out, with hopes that it would finally be what ZM mode in cs 1.6 and css was, and they gave us the whole fucking hog, its the mecca for the entire zombie community.

Its unfortunate they decided to ruin versus mode (at least for a while) by making versus mode locked to normal mode.

Normal mode is by far the shittiest mode for versus, survivors get like, 2 hp a hit from a zombie? 15 seconds for a hunter pounce before they need help?

Its pathetic really, i found me and alot of other people were ramping up the difficulty to Impossible (the one after expert).

Now THAT was serious fun.

Now the expert players and impossible whores just have to pray they update this update with another update.

:D

I disagree with the chainsaw and flamethrower weapons. It's all about balance. With an extremely strong melee weapon such as the chainsaw, getting surrounded by infected wouldn't be nearly as bad as it is now. You would just tear apart the masses making the boomer vomit, for example, far less threatening. Flamethrowers would also break the balance big time, because fire is exactly the best tool to kill the most resilient infected boss, so restricting it to molotov and usual inflammable objects scattered around the map is the best way of balancing the combat vs a Tank.

One of my favorite games. If anything is my favorite bit, it is the versus modes. Most people who don't really know how to play it flame it as "too cheap for infected players", but really it is all about coordination. If a team is just flailing themselves at the enemy as the infected in versus, they are definitely going to fail. If they set up attack points, (Like 2 hunters and a smoker all snagging their prey after all of the survivors are vomited on by a boomer, or a smoker pulling a survivor into a car, setting the alarm off, followed by 2 hunters pouncing on the other survivors) then versus becomes alot more fun, and success is almost inevitable.
