Modern games turn it into a mindless bulletfest. The true appeal of the zombie apocalypse in my opinion is that the zombies are braindead, giving he who thinks the best chance to survive. I want to have a generated world and have to worry about food, water, sleep, shelter, party management, fortifications, machines, fuel, medicine, ammunition, transportation, and so on. I guess we keep on waiting for the true zombie apocalypse gaming messiah.

I was excited for Realism mode, too, and it's really not any more realistic than the normal game. Chances are if you were in a real zombie apocalypse, and this isn't aimed at you OP, it's aimed at any human being lacking in proper military training, you would be dead. The point is, Left 4 Dead is an awesome game about blowing the brains off of zombies. If it was realistic, zombies wouldn't 'swipe' at you like rabid cats they would swarm you, pile on top of you, and sink their teeth into your flesh (assuming they're the 'primal' zombies after brain/meat/flesh/whatever). Things like average everyday people being able to headshot an enemy from 20 meters away just by crouching and standing still for a few seconds, or the same average everyday person having the ability to properly wield weapons like the SPAS-12 shotgun without breaking his or her ribs ruins any potential chance for realism the game could have had. Left 4 Dead threw any hopes of Realism out the window when it started dropping piles of infinite ammunition around street corners (including fully loaded weapons. When I saw 'Realism Mode' I knew that it was just going to be a rehash of the same old thing, albeit a bit more difficult. But here's the thing, I never played it for the realism. Left 4 Dead 2 is a fantastic game, I've played and finished the entire campaign, and loved every part of it. I mean why not make it REAL REAL and leave the suspension of disbelief to campaign/verus mode?ДЄgain i only have like 1.5 hrs played on 400 ping servers so fill me in if i've missed something or weigh in if you agree. It feels more like campaign with a few changes that i really didn't notice. Instead it seems they just took a few things out like infected/survivor outlines, increased friendly fire damage a bit, added instant witch kills, kept kits. I feel these changes would make it feel 'extremely' real and the objective wouldnt be to 'finish' exactly but to see how we'd react in a REAL situation and if you finish, then you're most likely to survive a real infestation.

When you die, you die, maybe a defib would work, but you get the idea One shot of friendly fire would kill or severely injure No kits, just pills (Health kits aren't real :P) The way i anticipated it was this A Real zombie infestation scenario where you only get one chance. However, I tried 'realism' mode and i found it to be, not exactly what i'd imagined. I fought through it though and had a lot of fun. I tried a few modes but it seems the lack of dedicated servers made it so i only joined 'local games' where i pinged 400 consistently :P. Like most i stayed up until release and a couple hours after only to have to show up for work in the morning. I have absoluetely have zero qualms with the game.
