For the most part I agree, Except the Romero zombies thing. To start they're not undead but infected by some virus. I guess it shut down all their upper brain functions which leaves them with the basics to survive. They'll be able to move and eat but they won't be able to use tools. They'll have started with eating everything edible, this explains canned foods, as they'll not be able to figure how to open it. After all is eaten they'll turn on living things as wildlife and survivors. Having only basic survival functions doesn't mean they can't run, a infected that isn't starving would have the same stamina as a survivor and hard to lose while running; the weaker ones are slower or otherwise incapacitated. This also means they are as vurnable as survivors, they'll bleed to death when shot, or die when shot in the head. And it makes them incredibly stupid, they can't open doors, will keep going where ever it went when it lost sight or sound of its target. Losing an infected by wits should be easy, it's their numbers that should be horrifying. Make them less predictable, make them form hordes that wander around. They could in number cross through a forest or anything. There should be no place anywhere where you'll be safe from infected. Turn up the dread for players because they know that they can run into them anywhere, that having cleared a town of infected doesn't mean more won't wander in, I complete agree the survivors are too skilled, however I'd like to see survivors beeing able to use almost anything as a weapon, let use shovel, logs of wood, kitchen tools etc to kill the infected with, make guns and ammp even more scarce so that using them requires foretought and consideration. @Joker716 it IS an Massive Multiplayer Online game... XP is a RPG mechanic, I agree with the OP, survivors should be able to willy nilly shoot Infected and other survivors from 600m the first time they try. That doesn't mean it has to be based on a stat, but it should be realy hard to do.
