Some form of melee is badly needed. Running out of ammo - you may as well just get killed and start over. Even if the game engine doesnt animate it well, just having the game "calculate" some melee damage (if there is no animation) would be ok. Melee doesnt have to be super strong - but if you have one or two zombies chasing you, it shoudn't be a game ender right there without an option. If melee cannot be modded in because of engine restrictions, then at least have the zombies get checks to see if they will break off the pursuit - or even make it possible to lose them amongst buildings or trees if you can get line of sight blocked long enough and go stealthy. If a hopping/crouching zombie is (slowly) chasing me, I cant see why i cannot go over a hill or run into a forest or even between buildings and he loses sight and interest in chasing. Enjoying the game only to end up on this endless marathon run across the map with zombies in tow just kills the fun.
