I'm fine with leg breaking, I'd just prefer to not get knocked unconscious during 86.93% of close encounters with Zombies. It only takes one Zombie to knock you unconscious and ruin the rest of your life. Once you've woken up, you're usually knocked back down before you can even kill one or two zombies. It's not fun sitting through multiple 20-second do-nothing moments while a Zombie mauls you. If you survive, you're usually stuck with less than 3k Blood (from 9k). During that time, you could have killed the Zombie and have bandaged up, leaving you with less than 1k-worth of blood lost and an actual chance of surviving. I am perfectly fine with the 3-second unconsciousness while you have less than 4k blood. However, there is the bug that causes you to animate pulling out your weapon three times before you can use it, or most times when getting up into a crouch or standing up, you're forced into an animation of holstering a Rocket Launcher before pulling out your Pistol/Crowbar or Rifle.

The only massive problem I have with the Melee system, is the whole "Zombies occasionally knocking you unconscious from one single hit". The whole Unconscious mechanic gets in the way altogether. I'd encounter a zombie in a house but from sheer luck, I'd get hit one or two times and forced to lie there with a 20 second countdown. Just from that single encounter, I'd be below 5k blood. When I do fend off zombies, the next encounter usually sits me with less than 4k blood just because I'm forced to do nothing for another 20 seconds. In any case: Guns appear to be rare, I'm fine with that. As everyone else is saying, super zombie hearing gets incredibly tedious. It's surprising that just passing across a road makes as much noise as a Helicopter taking off.
