I have a feeling I'm going to look pretty stupid hitting a tank in the face with a frying pan... but it will definitely be worth it.

Imagine the tank has just wiped out the rest of your group and you're running for your life and you get trapped in a dead end. He's coming straight at you and "KLANG!" - a frying pan to the face and he goes down.

Epic.

Is the Tank in this one or has he been replaced with the Charger? I've heard of a video of a live demo where some dude takes out the Charger with one swipe of the pan and the presenter is all "whoops!"

I remember the time I got mad and ran up to the tank and started melee-ing it.



lol, good times.

I would also advise against doing that.

I like the cricket bat. Homage to Shaun of the Dead.

You know what... I totally missed that reference at first, but something in my head told me that the Cricket Bat was the most suitable for the occasion.

I'm guessing because they'd be awful to use against zombies. Takes too much effort/skill to wield them and they have a very short reach.

Good question. Maybe the acoustic is actually an electric? I'll try to clear that up.

Heard back from Faliszek. Apparently the acoustic guitar is actually an electric. Guess it's more slender than it looks.

Why the lowly xbox tag? There ARE other platforms out there. Not trying to flame, I don't get why the PC tag is so underused on Joystiq.

I meant lonely. I guess that's why I got downvoted. Oh well...

Anyway, considering that MS will probably charge for the "free" L4D2 DLC as well, it's only natural to pick up the PC version this time around.

I must say all of them are quite appealing. How ever I can't deny that I will enjoy having a baton and shouting out "I AM THE LAW!" while I'm beating the shit out of a zombie.

Half-Life 2 comes to mind with the baton - nothing like hearing a Combine whip one of those out before hearing...

PREPARE TO RECEIVE CIVIL JUDGEMENT.

Do you guys think it would be awesome if the next L4D game took place in the past? Western setting? Post WW2? 1920s? etc? Zombie Native Americans would be pretty sweet. Tomahawk melee weapons, zombie buffaloes, Pocahantas witches and all that.
