To be honest, dispite thinking it was awesome at first i soon grew a bit tired of it. I really like the animation and look of the zombies, but gameplay wise i found it a bit disapointing.
I just found it frustrating how you would get swarmed out of no where from infinatly spawning hoards, it just seemed cheap at times. On the harder difficulties once uv'e used your health packs then your pretty much screwed since ur on red health once revived, so pretty much untill u reach the next safe house u will die super easy.
I think the game would be better if ur health slowly regenerated over time, maybe not regenerate to full but at least up to 50 hp and then the med kits are used to get u back up to full. That would at least make it less frustrating wen u get jumped out of no where and end up with no health. Also the counter strike style controls feel outdated, the guns are generic and limited (for example being able to choose between a UMP or an MP5, SCAR or M4 or whatever would have been cool, instead the game just has one generic uzi, generic assault rifle, generic shotgun etc) and the fact u cant look down the sights to be more accurate feels very restrictive after playing games like call of duty, rainbow six etc.
It seemed like a decent game i guess but not as good as id hoped, just to me it didn't feel like this big city full of zombies for me to try to escape from. It felt more like the developers said heres a set of corridors to run through and we have an infinate pool of zombies which we will randomly spawn around u to try to catch u off gaurd.
I'm aware some people will probably argue that its perfect as is and if u die its because ur not using enough teamwork. I respect that its all about teamwork but i just think that alot of the mechanics could have been implimented better to make it a more enjoyable, less frustrating, but still challenging experience.
