The only thing that could give this game more replay value are RPG elements which I'm sure will be implemented in some mods in the future. The director element is really going to make it (along with playing as a fucking zombie!) and the videos out there that demonstrate it show how badass this game is going to be. Seriously, co-op FPS zombie shooter where you can play as zombies and rape your friends while listening to them bitch on vent. What took so long? It’s going to be game of the year, especially for myself.

Also, the XBL version will use the headset which could be very fun. I'm against FPS on Xbox, but I might try it this time. If Halo kids can do it, I might be able to pick it up and not feel like I'm breaking Counter-strike's heart. If it comes OUT THIS YEAR!!!!

And I'll bet you anything the witch will end up playable. You may just have to do a code or on XBL, unlock certain achievements to make it playable. Would be pretty cool.

Also, the Witch right now is basically a huge problem. She's loud--moans, screams, etc--but she's blind. She can't see. She can, however, hear. So if yous tart to hear one, you have to walk and almost crawl by or she will one shot people. It's a way of making people have to hide from zombies instead of go on a total rampage.

Going with what you said about the Witch, if each map only has a limited number of randomized elements and you can basically predict what will happen the fun will be ruined. Luckily Valve has been doing experimentation into multiplayer map randomization with success. See Team Fortress 2's Hydro for example. So I am hopeful.

I really wanna play a survivor, but I have a lot of friends who are all about using the Boomer to own people :/ I think they have almost unlimited spawn points–which is why it will be so fun to co-op, even letting the NPCs be the Z team.

Anyway, it definitely seems like a game I want to try out if my crappy computer will be able to handle it...unfortunately that's a big hurdle I seem to be facing lately since I can't buy or make a new one. The AI handling the direction that the game goes in blows me away. It seems like a foolproof way to keep players entertained. It might even up the chill factor, as being left to defend yourself against the infected is going to be a pretty tense situation as it is. Great article as always. <3 Sadly, I’ve never gotten around to playing much of Counter-strike, so I’m not very well versed in any mods except the screenshots I’ve seen that utilized Garry’s mod that never fail to make me laugh.

Somebody is going to find one class and go "Oh, they die every time if I do this!" or the classes just won't be able to stand up to the survivors. It's going to turn into flash-bangs and smoke grenades, just like CS. (Not to sound negative, the game sounds great, I'm just saying that making ti skill-based will give it too sharp of a learning curve and make it hard to play and have fun.)

If you have ever played zombie survival then you know that. There are tons of player made maps and it works almost perfectly. One player is the zombie master and spawns zombies controls them and sets off traps all in a RTS perspective. All the other players are survivors and kill the zombies, complete objectives, survive, and get to the end point. If there was one mod that I think this game represents it would be zombie survival. Try it out. Hey, I loved the article but one thing not all zombie mods are bad. If you have ever played zombie survival then you know that.

The mod I was talking about is not called zombie survival it’s called zombie master. I play both a lot and get them confused. Zombie survival is good but not nearly as good as zombie master.
