Well ya. You think people will rise back from the dead. I belive if there is a zombie apocalypse it will be man made and wil be similar to that of L4d. Just no special infected.

Nope. The zombies are more like 28 Days/Weeks Later zombies. Real zombies don't die from body shots, they can only be killed by destroying the brain. Plus, zombies stumble, not run.
Why do those parts of the myth even exist?
There is no real explanation that a zombie should suddenly loose all capability to walk/run correctly, natural selection of the virus would favor a strain in which the host had functionality of its limbs so it could spread easier.
And it doesn't really make sense that a zombie can only die from a headshot, the body has to upkeep it self daily, without the organs working the body would lock down. Muscles and bones don't run on magic or sheer force of will. Its like if you sent an electrical signal down a severed arm, it might twitch initially but once its ATP is gone, it isn't going to do jack. Also say you put buckshot into someones torso, living or not if they keep moving they're slowly going to rip their wounds wider and wider until they fall apart.

Yes, this is exactly how the zombie apocalypse went down.[/sarcasm]

If you get bitten by a zombie, you turn into one. Left 4 Dead is unrealistic by any zombie standards.

It's not something I ever actually thought about. How we will actually know what a real zombie apocalypse is like before one actually happens, I don't know. All I know is, I got to shoot a lot of zombies, so in that way, it's all fine by me.

Do you think Prey provided a good depiction of an alien invasion, going by past experience of alien invasions?
