I'd prefer more melee, it is a shame the engine doesn't support it as it would be far more realistic and with various other changes (zombie AI etc.) it would encourage cooperation.

This is the main problem with the game at the moment. "You don't need an axe, if a zombie sees you from 150m away, just exploit the buggy behaviour of zombies! Run through a building, run to the docks or zig zag up a hill!" I don't think this is how the game should function. Without a weapon, you should always die for aggroing a zombie. Thus, you should start with a weapon to avoid such an annoying system. The only reason you don't need a weapon is because you can exploit the bugginess of zombies. You can run into town, aggro heaps of zombies, run into a building, pick up some loot then carry on as if nothing is happening. If any follow, just rinse and repeat. Once you have a hatchet go to the dock and kill them one by one with zero risk to your life. So I guess until zombies can present a real threat in all situation, we don't need a weapon. But, we should need a weapon, because zombies are meant to be threatening.
