My real problem with the shotguns is the smaller ammo pool you get. With infected able to take more damage it can take more shells, which you have less of.

Yeah, the infected sure can eat those bullets now. You feel kinda bad about shooting a zombie's junk off and still see him come after you. I wouldn't blame him.

My favorite is infected that have no arms at all attack you with their nubs.

Wouldn't the exposed bone hurt you more? They're probably really sharp.

About as effective as a T-Rex trying to claw you with his arms.

Yeah, they may hurt, but have you ever seen a T-Rex try to kill something with it's arms?

No, you've never even seen a T-Rex.

How do you know a T-Rex could not do some damage with those arms? Have you ever seen a real T-Rex in action?

Totally have.

It was awesome.

But then I killed it, because it was collaborating with Nazis.

Oh nose! I always knew something was wrong with those guys!

Love the Magnum pistol!.. Just the feel of it makes it seem more powerful... Only if we could Dual wield those beasties!! Ayyee!!!

**Avs** · 12-04-2009, 02:32 PM

Haha if we could dual wield magnums, I think people would never use melee weapons anymore. That's probably why they made it non akimbo.

Realism mode + expert (half damage * .25 or something, dont really remember the modifiers) makes all the weapons seem weak. Sniper rifles take 3-4 hits with non head shots. Shotguns take 3-4 hits at medium close range, unless its within 100, which it then does 5x damage. Pistols take 15 bullets when firing at full rate. Assault rifles seem to be king in this mode because they can pump enough accurate shots in bursts to kill the infected and its buddy behind it. Usually 5 shots.

Ive also seen zombies run at you with their heads decapitated. Still not sure if this is part of the game (rare zombie), but you cant head shot it and its pretty funny.

Edit: Video of headless zombie.
