I assume you meant creatures, but....that's kind of a dumb statement. You can in fact argue about imaginary creatures.You can't have a argument on imaginary creators ಠ_ಠ

Finally we have the specimens, which are experiments done on living human beings changing them into mutant-like creatures each having their own kind of "ability" to them, per se. Which, so far, seem to be exclusive to Killing Floor, at least by description.

It's even been described as specimens, meaning they are not zombies at all. Zombies = the living dead. The specimens are experiments.
I wouldn't agree to this. Specimens means experiemented on. If people were experimented and they was altered, it's a specimen as they are no longer human. Yes they are all clones which goes back to the fact of, these are no way zombies.
They are also called Zeds, which is shorthand for zombie. A zombie doesn't have to be a living dead creature. Going around eating people is zombie-like behavior.
Ah, wrong. There was a test team if I remember correctly which tag was ZED. They was the ones to start off the nickname and it ended up carrying on to everyone. They have always been known officially as specimens, Zed came in as a nickname long after.
Is it not illegal to refer to general baddies in games like these as zombies? Hell, even I refer to the infected in L4D as zombies just because it's practical.Nope. This is a commment directly from [TW]Wilsonam on the Tripwire forums in 2009 which is the year the game came out:
"And you can tell when ZEDtime has kicked in on games around the office - shouts and laughter as people watch a suitably hilarious zombie death - AND get to pick off a couple extra at the same time. We weren't sure, so we tried it out in the game. It works, trust me"

Tripwire themselves refer to zeds as zombies. Keep in mind zed is the pronunciation of the letter Z in the UK where the game takes place. Just like how Z is used in other zombie games/movies/books such as World War Z, DayZ etc.
There may have been a test team named ZED (though I have not been able to find any reference to that), but Zed also clearly refers to zombies.
Going back to topic, I still think crawler with closed and open jaw are 2 different type of zombies (yes I just called them zombies again damn)
off topic: just noticed i got 1001 post wow
Well wait up. What were they called in the mod?
It could be that the TW devs just habitually call them zombies just like many of the people on this forum.

Plus the only reason they said zombie there was because saying "shouts and laughter as people watch a suitably hilarious zed death" sounds....off.
Well to some people (like myself) words have not only a meaning, but a strong physical and visual connotation with them. This is why on some level it seriously bothers me when someone calls a magazine a clip or an assault rifle a machinegun. And it's the same thing in this case. I won't really ask people to change what they call them, but I can understand how it bothers people.
