Looks good, but holy hell. Could they take any longer? Its almost a Valve staple to take forever to make any video games.

Looks like they are redoing the character models :/
I hope the player will be able to choose which one he wants

Parts of that look great, but I think it's going to be far too frantic for my tastes.
Also, why do they always model shotguns to have stupidly wide shot spread? It makes them useless.

It looks quite promising. But it's very fast paced, which doesn't really seem to fit with the whole zombie theme. Doesn''t slower pace = more spooky atmosphere? I refer to Thief as an example: slow pace, extremely atmospheric. It would be a shame if L4D would feel like CS with zombies, because the rest seems to be done very well.

Of course it will be "CS with Zombies" but what is wrong with that if it was a single player game a slower gameplay would maybe fit better but this will be about being fast and working as a team. Faster Zombies are more challengeing in my opinion.
And about theshotgun spread get close to the Zombie and aim for the head kills Zombies even in Half Life 2.

The way this game was shaping up was that the hordes of regular "shambling" zombies would be a constant looming threat, while the "super" zombies (tank, witch, boomer, etc.) would provide the fast paced challange. If EVERYTHING is fast then it becomes a monotonous twitch-fest, like...TF2.
I mean, think about Ravenholm in HL2. There were loads of regular headcrab zombies that shamble along and provide somewhat of a threat. But then you've got those fast ones which are the REAL killers.
Imagine how great it would be if you run for cover inside of a warehouse from a Tank, only to find yourself running right into a mob of shambling zombies right at cose range. Or be moving down an alley or a hallway and suddenly a horde of shamblers pour out from a doorway. Everything doesn't have to be FAST-TWITCH-FAST to be a challenge.
Goddamn ADD culture

There are zombies of all speeds. Unless they changed it to all fast zombies since I played it.
(Also, I personally dislike the new character designs.)

Oh no they have changed the character models, I much prefer the more serious looking older designs.

Yeah. The older models looked as though they've been through a bit of hell already. Unkempt, facial hair grown out on the men, dirtied clothes, dirty hair, etc. These guys are a little like they got some dirt tossed on them and that's that.

Looks like development on the characters went backwards, the new models look like very very early concepts rather than new.

I present to you the new character model for Bill, the Vietnam vet in Left 4 Dead...

VALVe said they changed them because playtesting showed that the old models and models looked too much the same.
