Anyway, it was really funny. If I could make a suggestion, I would suggest adding something about bad cliffhanger endings. It's very rare that I see a cliffhanger done right. Most of the time the cliffhanger seems to be tossed in just so they don't have to worry about finishing the plot. What's even worse is when a game ends on cliffhanger and the sequel takes years to come out (if it comes out at all), in which case you never find out how it would have ended. I hate when that happens.

It becomes another generic hack, slash 'n shoot game before you even notice. Where's the feeling of dread that's ever present in older zombie movies where people fear ever coming in melee range with one of those zeds. If they can't even do that right, they might as well replace all the zeds with some orcs and trolls and call it Lord The Rings : COD edition. Or just stop making zombie games.

Non-immunity from zombie infection is great for movies, but imo it makes for a bad game mechanic, since it essentially turns the game into a one-hit KO game. I guess it could make for a good entry in the horror genre, but it would make for a tedious and frustrating action game.Cookie Eating Huskarl said:And people need to stop pumping out zombie games where for some obscure reasons, the main character is someone immune to the infection.
