I know people think that slower zombies would make the game too easy but please hear me out.
I feel as though the zombies move at too high of a speed for multiple reasons. The first being that in my experience, you could run from them in the open for 20 mins straight and not put any distance between 2 - 5 "walkers." This is frustrating. Also from the look of the towns time has passed since the initial outbreak, so rigor mortis and clotting would have started to take its effect in the undead.
Second, the current speed makes killing them a very hard due to the games lag not really cause of speed. The speed and sporadic nature of their movement makes them almost impossible to kill once they have already started their pursuit. You almost have to let them get next to you while in the open to get a clear shot once they stop to smack you around.
Now I don't want the game to be easier. I LOVE the difficulty. and being that it seems this mod aims for realism, to which I find it curious that the you can kill a zombie by shooting it in the torso or even the legs. I feel the rule of killing the brain should apply.(not with melee, as I feel that the aiming of such weapons is not fine tuned enough)
This goes hand in hand with the slower zombies, having to get a head shot would become more possible, while eliminating the crazed animations.
Now now, before you get all worked up, to keep the difficulty high, make the zombies travel in larger groups on an average. That way, even though they might be slower they can still overwhelm you in quantity and the fact you have to aim with each shot would cause for a added panic.

My main point, which moofactory added to, is that the zombies or infected, still move at a ridiculous speed. and it causes the animations and there movement to be ridiculous. I never stated that I wanted them at a snails pace, just a pace which looks more natural and somewhat balances out the game.
There could still be fast ones just not every single one of them. On another thread someone had called them runners, pretty sure they almost all are, you don't see as nearly half as many of the other 2.
