We were having a great game last night, and we got to the warehouse and we were all situated behind the minigun.

The girl was a bot, and what did she do to help matters?

She threw a molatov onto the ground, burning all of us!

I've got to say though, that this is one seriously good game.
I knew it would be good, but I didn't think it would be this awesome!

Can't wait for some enterprising modder to work out how to play 16vs16

16 humans vs 16 zombies? I think the zombies will have to be pretty awesome to be able to kill the humans as it is :D
Even on expert you can kill a whole bunch of zombies before they even get to you, so I guess zombies in multiplayer will have to be stronger or they'll keep dying. I know zombies will have to be smart to do well...
Basically I want to see the multiplayer in action :D I mean, it has to be fairly balanced to be released, and the tf2 guys worked on it. I want to see what kind of things they've done to make it possible for zombies to win / have fun / not die all the time.

Maybe if there were loads of zombies, most of them AI characters. Once you die as a zombie you instantly take over from one of the AI dudes.
Nicely done Bbloke!!

Can you have more than 4 survivors at once. I thought it was restricted to just 4. As for Zombie control. I don't think you control the generic zombies but you do have control over the 4 boss zombies, Smoker, Boomer, Hunter and Tank.

More humans would remove the gameplay and style to just another FPS type.

Lol, I did the same... same room I was standing on the lockers, waiting for the horde to crawl up thru the hole in the floor, threw my molotov down the hole but it hit a zombie on the head as he was crawling up and ignited, burning all of us to death instead

I assume there will be normal zombies as well, but the fact is in the game at the moment one hunter or smoker can attack one human but then gets assraped when their friends turn round. I don't want to be waiting for the right time to attack, make my move, then get auto-shotgunned down in a second! I don't really know what I'm worrying about though, I'm sure it'll be good :D (perhaps zombie players get instant respawn?)

All four horde players should play Tank :S

Didn't I read somewhere that the dead respawn instantly in a place of their choosing?
