I love, love, LOVE the new zombies. LOVE! Yes, the spawn timers could be a bit reduced, and their speed and glitching and the fact that we have no melee are a bit irritating. But now I'm finally scared to fire a gun. Scared to approach a town. Scared to become trapped. No longer is the game basically "go around looting comfortably and preparing for the inevitable conflict with a pk". Now I climb hills to get a good overview of a town, I skirt outside it, sneak towards promising-looking buildings. Get in-get out. There is no more "town clearing", unless you have a big group. This is brilliant. And the player interaction is much better too. It's not just that you are scared to shoot someone because you'll draw zombies. It's that surviving is now hard, and dangerous. When you meet someone, you want to cooperate, you see him more as a fellow survivor and less like an enemy (though of course there are enemies too, but they are no longer the main threat). All in all, I'd keep this as is, maybe even up the zombie count in the large cities. Respawn timers could be longer, as I said, and roamers in the wild would be cool. But this patch is significantly, very very significantly better than the last. Cheers!
