Because you only get 10 frames a second? Is that why?

Duke; how did you get so damn many zombies in the one spot? Is there a command to spawn more? I only saw commands for boss zombies. Or is it just on expert? I only tried this out on normal.

Had a nice little surprise waiting for the survivors at the end, though.

EDIT: Why does imageshack not work on CoG?

Ahh so tanks have 4000 hp.

Differs with difficulty level, though.

EDIT: Actually I'm pretty sure I had one at 3000 hp on a different run through on the same setting, so maybe the director can even give them more or less hp depending on how well the survivors are doing.

I think you are right.

I got a 3k HP one myself.

I cannot wait for this game. I was debating on whether or not I would pick it up on release, but I don't want to miss out on the early days when I actually stand a chance. :o

Valve...that's reason enough for me!

(z_no_cull 1) tells the director to not despawn useless zombies.

(z_add) spawns the standard zombies wherever you are looking. so if you want a giggle look straight up and spam it.

Eh. It's a good game, I had fun with the demo mostly because it pushed an area of special interest (me vs. hordes of things) that I'm a sucker for.

I don't see it as some great must have though, and I sure as hell don't see it as a $50 game, when to me it still feels an awful lot like a free mod. And there's also a very console feel to it, especially the interface and the MP matchmaking, that really turns me off.

If they dropped the price at least $20, or threw it in with another couple of games a la Orange Box, or they're all in one boxes for the Source MP games like the CS:S one that also includes DOD and HL2:DM, then I'd probably pick it up.

Considering that I've already sunk over 8 hours into a two level demo, more time than it takes these days to beat a lot of console games, and we're getting 18 more levels which are all likely to be longer than the two we have now (plus the full subway level) I know I'm going to be getting my money's worth.

director_force_panic_event still works, though.
