Alright, this is basically "Leeroy Jenkins: The Game".

...

...we were lucky if we even made it out in the streets.

I think I see the problem here.

I played with my raidfag WoW friends earlier today with svcheats on. We turned it on Expert, and then adjusted the Zombie spawn rate to 300 (default is 30 on Expert). There was literally a horde every 30 feet.

Took 3 tries and having everyone start with Automatic Shotguns, but we made it through beginning to end of the demo. (Well, we would have, but our host spawned 6 witches in the last room because it was hilarious) But seriously, playing Leeroy is guaranteed death on any difficulty above Normal.

This game is amazing.  I have deleted "Zombie Panic! Source" from my games list because frankly it is horse turd compared to Left 4 Dead!

Thanks to Eric Wolpaw and his team writing this thing too, the wall scrawl in this game is hysterically funny. Example of a written conversation on a wall:

"WE ARE THE REAL MONSTERS

you are the real MORON
That's the ZOMBIES idiot
Have you been outside, JACKASS?!
I hope you are DEAD now. "

I think my favorite part of this game is just how amazing and spot on the zombie animations are. The way they run, the way they come around corners, the way they die. It's all perfect, and makes it completely believable that they have no desire other than to see you dead.

Doesn't it say "i miss the internet" right below that?

You have no idea how much I want that to not just be satire and be in fact something in the pipes.

I would buy all 18. And the 2fort Playset.

My guess would be the Civilian class they keep hinting at. Alternatively, the 2nd and 3nd level Sentry in one pack. The Engineer's bubble would be PRETTY tight with all that crap in it

Last night we jumped down from the first safehouse into a horde, a boomer, a hunter, and a smoker. The boomer spawned two more hordes. It was fucking awesome.

EDIT: Those guys are playing on coward mode, Dogstar. Real men play Expert.

Gameplay from the Death Toll campaign. It's on coward mode, with bots only, but it shows a decent portion of the first map. I can't wait.

Pre-loading is now available on Steam for those of you that pre-ordered.

So Fry's is going to be selling this for only $40.  What a bargain!

You failed, the Zombies have taken our intelligence.

Alternatively, I would like to see a mod that lets you play TF2 against the zombies.  Bonus for actual TF2 zombies to fight against.

Even though I'm all about difficulty in games, I still play this on Normal because FPS difficulty just means 'you take more and deal less damage'.
