But... I really want a crowbar.
A game like L4D makes anyone who even remotely appreciates zombies salivate with gorish excitement. But as much as I have enjoyed L4D there is one aspect in particular that I don't care for and that is simply the lack of melee weapons and just 'stuff' in general. I understand that developers may not have been able to go all out on melee weapons as it would add a plethora of new animations and code the game, but who doesn't want to beat zombies to death in with a crowbar in a game made from Valve? These guys particularly immortalized the damn thing and now they tell me that I can't run around bludgeoning zombies with it? Does that seem right to anyone? It's just cold, but a part of me thinks/hopes they are just wetting our appetite and that the nebulous future might hold a few melee goodies for those of us who like to swing large, heavy, inanimate objects around.
Then there is the 'stuff' factor. One part of me says, "Ok, so they are trying to survive this zombie apocalypse and supplies are limited so it's hard to come up with doodads.", but then there is another part of me that says, "Wait a second.. Check out all of the zombies in military uniforms and the humves around here." Surely, in all of that military wreckage there is some serious hardware that can be used to lay down your own apocalypse. If I can't have a crowbar then can I at least have a grenade launcher?
