uncle jesse @ Sep 9th 2009 12:20PM
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.
ShadowMonkey987 @ Sep 9th 2009 3:47PM
should be an achievement to kill a tank with a frying pan...
WiredKnight @ Sep 9th 2009 12:37PM
Not if that's the hit that kills him.
uncle jesse @ Sep 9th 2009 12:41PM
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.
MLS @ Sep 9th 2009 1:07PM
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!"
mocax @ Sep 9th 2009 1:07PM
it's the teflon....
them zombies are allergic to teflon...
MowDownJoe @ Sep 9th 2009 1:47PM
@MLS: The new special infected are coming in addition to the old ones, through the old ones will have new get ups. (After all, why would a hunter wear a Hoodie in New Orleans?)
Obie @ Sep 9th 2009 1:48PM
That needs to be an achievement!
"Kill a tank with only a frying pan" 20 points
hehe
Spartan [Planeteer l Power of bad weather] @ Sep 9th 2009 3:08PM
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.
Singular Trap @ Sep 9th 2009 12:20PM
I like the cricket bat. Homage to Shaun of the Dead.
Thief @ Sep 9th 2009 12:23PM
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.
Mr. Manly ESC Mcbeefington Ferguson The Second @ Sep 9th 2009 1:14PM
I'll take the shotgun and the chainsaw (can I carry 2 weapons?) Army of Darkness FTW.
Thief @ Sep 9th 2009 12:20PM
Can't wait to wield a cricket bat and talk in a posh british accent over XBL
Spartan [Planeteer l Power of bad weather] @ Sep 9th 2009 2:17PM
te he
i do that anyways (even though im not posh)
Damon @ Sep 9th 2009 12:21PM
Maybe it's because my real name is in fact Jason, but i'm partial to the machete.
clanboru15 @ Sep 9th 2009 1:44PM
your avatar is partial to the katana
Gusj @ Sep 9th 2009 2:19PM
They called him "Machete".
Ryan @ Sep 9th 2009 12:21PM
What, no 10lb Sledge?
kristof @ Sep 9th 2009 12:22PM
Chainsaw for sure.
XBL: xGeneral DEATHx PSN: Deeth82 @ Sep 9th 2009 12:22PM
Right now I'm harder than a diamond in an ice storm.
Rhamsey @ Sep 9th 2009 12:22PM
Give me a cricket bat and some Queen and I'm ready to go.
elle @ Sep 9th 2009 1:43PM
Pool cue and Queen go together.
Cricket bat and whatever this is go together: http://www.moviegrooves.com/m3u/shaun-low-10.m3u
Kyle @ Sep 9th 2009 12:23PM
I heard the Baseball Bat is an exclusive Gamestop incentive along with $5 off the game as well.
Uncontrol @ Sep 9th 2009 12:53PM
i cant even tell if this is a joke
The Dark Wayne @ Sep 9th 2009 12:54PM
no i think he's serious, i recall seeing as much on destructoid or kotaku or something
CaramelZappa @ Sep 9th 2009 12:24PM
Episode 3 please.
Captain Planet [Planeteer | Power of Captain Planet] @ Sep 9th 2009 12:26PM
No nunchaku?!
Rhamsey @ Sep 9th 2009 12:28PM
I had no idea thats how you spelled that.
WiredKnight @ Sep 9th 2009 12:35PM
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.
Captain Planet [Planeteer | Power of Captain Planet] @ Sep 9th 2009 12:41PM
And the winner of the "Can't see the Awesome™ Award" goes to....
WIREDKNIGHT!
Brian @ Sep 9th 2009 12:42PM
@ WiredKnight
No doubt - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsEZ2lpM0Yw
Bubbameister33 @ Sep 9th 2009 12:45PM
It has more reach than the frying pan does.
Mr. Manly ESC Mcbeefington Ferguson The Second @ Sep 9th 2009 1:16PM
Nunchakus are for pussies real men use Judo!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtcQlEKAl4o
WiredKnight @ Sep 9th 2009 2:10PM
@Brian
Yes! Exactly!
@Bubba
But anyone can use a frying pan.
Jose @ Sep 9th 2009 12:29PM
What happened to the acoustic guitar? "Kabong!"
Antagonist @ Sep 9th 2009 12:44PM
That's dildos. It would be embarrassed for us to even be seens holdings those grandpa's guitars.
Boffo the $ock @ Sep 9th 2009 12:44PM
Do my eyes deceive me? Did I just see a reference to the Critic?
It stinks!
Jose @ Sep 9th 2009 12:50PM
No way, Quick Draw McGraw all the way, man.
Richard Mitchell @ Sep 9th 2009 12:55PM
Good question. Maybe the acoustic is actually an electric? I'll try to clear that up.
Jose @ Sep 9th 2009 1:12PM
Perhaps it's one of those fancy Rickenbacker acoustic/electric like in Beatles Rockband
Richard Mitchell @ Sep 9th 2009 1:39PM
Heard back from Faliszek. Apparently the acoustic guitar is actually an electric. Guess it's more slender than it looks.
Boffo the $ock @ Sep 9th 2009 1:39PM
Silly me! I forgot that the Critic was referencing Quick Draw McGraw during that bit.

WiredKnight @ Sep 9th 2009 12:33PM
The cricket bat is awesome, but the crowbar is more of a classic for me.
Cornelius @ Sep 9th 2009 12:45PM
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.
The Dark Wayne @ Sep 9th 2009 12:55PM
if you arent trying to flame why call the xbox tag lowly?
Richard Mitchell @ Sep 9th 2009 12:56PM
Oops. PC tag added.
clanboru15 @ Sep 9th 2009 1:48PM
maybe he meant lonely?
Cornelius @ Sep 9th 2009 2:27PM
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.
Stevetrop @ Sep 9th 2009 12:46PM
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.
:)
