Run cowards! I hunger!

Not to ruin the staff's fun, but the enemies in Left 4 Dead are not really zombies, but infected humans that are very much alive ( until you and your 3 buds blow em to kingdom come ;)

They could still be considered Zombies if they cant control them selves and act on one thing that drives them, like how the guys in 28 days/weeks later can be zombies.

Then every zombie in every fucking zombie movie ever isn't actually a zombie. Would you really have us call them otherwise for the sake of semantics? Or did you just want to comment?

GreyFox @ Jun 28th 2008 12:42AM

They're effectively dead so they are zombies unless we're going to get into some silly ass George "I use to make good movies" Romero vs. Zack Snyder/Danny boyle argument.

They arent rotting reanimated corpses, they die if you shoot em like any other human being. Headshots are not the only way to dispose of them. So keep your panties on #28. It's just an observation.
