Post which weapons you want in Left 4 Dead.

Chainsaw
Flamethrower
Jackhammer (the shotgun not the power tool)
Buzzsaw (also known as a circ saw)

Then the usual smorgasbord of shotguns and machine guns and rifles etc. It'd be really awesome if at some point in the story the humans begin to win and you find a military base and you get to drive a Bradley, running over zombies and splitting them in half with the powerful autocannon...

Hurricane, you forget this is the source engine. Expect a lot of mods for this game.

Hurricane, Left 4 Dead is a zombie survival horror game not just a zombie FPS; that's why they've toned the weapons down, so to speak, to be more in keeping with this genre.

Plus you might want to read Max Brook's "Zombie Survival Guide", you've pretty much mentoned the weapons he says are the worst.

Vilham's right though, I'm sure people wil mod weapons into the game in no time, (and in my opinion wreck the point of the game.)

Yeah but Brooks said that a heavy, inaccurate WWII rifle with massive recoil is the best weapon one could use, so what does he know?

Because those things are powerful as fuck.

Plus, they're inexpensive and easy to carry. An M1 Garand I guess you mean?

...

4 player co-op is the epitome of what this game IS.

Long? They said each scenario could last up to 75 minutes. Up to, that is.

How many scenarios? Because if it's gonna be like 4 or 5, then I understand why so little weapons to choose from.

1. no it wasn't cancelled, otherwise the game would have no meaning, its an multiplayer game, just like CSS.
2. a game of the above type has no time basis. expect to play levels over and over and have hundreds of new ones made.

4 scenarios, 5 maps, creating 20 types of levels in total.

K. Now lets get back on topic.(even though it's never gonna happen)

Yeah, he said an M1 Garand. Really any AR with semi-auto would be good and preferable to the M1 Garand. Zombies don't have particularly thick skulls, you don't need a 7.62x60 to penetrate them. Also the very small clip size makes it real shitty when you got multiple zombies, and you need to empty to clip in order to reload. The M1 is one of the worst weapons for a zombie encounter.
