Fast Zombies I reckon especially the ones that scale walls

A speedy zombie means less time to make decisions which raises not only intensity, but also shortens the reaction time available for proper decision making techniques. Any pressure situation requires special decision making skills and promotes the adoption of an intense contingency plan.

Slower zombies although scary can be toyed with and you can poosibly have all day to react, giving you precious time to decide whether to waste a bullet or walk over to that table 5 meters away and grab the crowbar. Fast zombies will cause you to waste bullets much faster.

True, but normally the slow zombies have the best attacking abilities

How would you know?
You mean Slow Zombies acurate in biting?

lol alot of the slow zombies that I have played against on games normally have a distance attack like the boomer does (spewing on peoples) where fast zombies normally have a hand-to-hand attack, to even out the differences in skill between fast and slow zombies.

your seriously forgetting some thing here. For example: you walk into room and you see slow moving zombie. It slowly begins shuffling it way towards you, before it get in to range, you already have shut the door and casually walked away.

You open door and their is fast zombie, before you can even react the infected is already in your face.

Momentum: a slow zombie has no Momentum and will grab you, while fast zombie has Momentum and will tackle you. A fast zombie doesn't grab you it literally crashes in to you. It use it speed put all that energy in to your body when it comes in contact with you. So yeh imagine being tackled by the cops, now imagine fifty of them. This also means if they run towards you, you can hit them with a melee weapon and cause all Momentum to stop at once killing the infected. Same effect when a car moving 30 miles an hour crashes in to brick wall.

Strength: Slow zombies, even dawn dead 2004 are weak as hell, their muscle have deteriorate, and lack the advantage of adrenaline and that is why it takes fifty or so to brake through barricades. Fast, least living ones have fully repaired, fully functional muscle not being restrained and a added bonus of adrenaline. Ten Fast can do what fifty slow zombies can do.

What do you mean with tackle you?

Fast zombies for me.

Reason?

Well, you can render a Zombie unable to move, if not dead dead much easier if it's a slow zombie.

If it's slow, you just pop their kneecaps with either a gun or a crowbar-on-a-broomstick / shovel / whatever (to avoid getting in grappling range) and move on until you have the means of disposing more permanently of the Zed.

If it's fast, it'll be much harder to even disable their ability to move.

Now, I agree that slow zombies seem to have been the standard for a long time...But does that mean they have to keep being the standard?

In the discussion on whether a virus counts for something being a zombie, consider this;

Is it a voodoo zombie? Those aren't dead, and won't infect you with anything if they bite you (And rarely would attack of their own accord).

Is it something unexplained, perhaps the wrath of an avenging God upon us? Because we'd basically be screwed, then.

Is it Solanum (the virus described in the Zombie Survival Guide) that reanimates the freshly dead, but like the zombies that are up and about don't attack things that are already dead?

There are a lot of different reasons in pop culture / zombie lore for why the dead walk among us (or in this case, the dead try to overwhelm us)...Which is canon? Is there even a single reason that can be pinpointed so you can say that this is what causes zombification?
