Key word 'play'.

And, well, let's wait until there's a decent slow zombie game before we judge just by L4D

The entire Resident Evil series is awash with zombies and is a fantastic game series.

But it doesn't have the whole slow zombie hordes that make them such a feared enemy in the first place...

What about fast zombie hordes?
You might as well shoot yourself right then and there

At least try to take out as much as you can, before they get to you.

and become one of them?
the only way of victory I see, against a fast zombie horde, is an Apache helicopter with missiles and .50 cal machine gun
or an M1 tank

A fast zombie horde can be stopped far easier than a slow zombie horde.

A bullet to even the leg will stop a fast zombie in most cases, with the slow zombies you won't kill a single one if you panic... The fast ones you'll kill many; panic or not.

"a decent slow zombie game" = Resident Evil.

That was all I was trying to say. :/

Aye, I know what you meant

But what I initially meant was "realistic" slow zombies... I.e. mobs, headshots only, large areas where they are just about everywhere, etc...

Not unless you have an underground liar with monks in it.

Okay, you go right up close to the bitey zombie and wave your metal sword around.

What I'm saying is that if you panic you've got a damned good chance of stopping a fast zombie. Whereas a slow zombie requires a headshot; something that panic will make very unlikely.

Oh and lol, I'm pretty handy with a .22 but I doubt I could hit the side of a barn while running in a panic

Not unlike in Dawn of the Dead they also were running but ONLY could stop by shooting its head.

I was just thinking of that movie
