Yes there is, I much prefer Nazi Zombies over L4D. I like the confined territory choked with zombies more when you can't escape it.

Once again, as usual, you're ignoring survival mode in L4D. Try playing the game...

Or I could continue play Nazi Zombies which is a survival mode game instead of wasting time playing L4D's survival mode.

No it's not. It's a survival mode minigame to the CoD main game. Only not as good.

I prefer the easter eggs included in the Zombie mode as well.

Easter Eggs?......

WHAT DID THOSE BASTARDS DO TO THE EASTER BUNNY?!?

You know what I mean, the easter eggs you find in the maps. The radios are a favorite while the portraits are something else.

Acension is a great map and I have to admit I prefer playing it over L4D2, even if they are totally different.

I prefer the easter eggs in the version.

"God is dead? OH NO! ZOMBIES KILLED GOD!"

Wait, what? Is this from anything?

Finally got Ascension, stupid adding funds system wasn't working, huge map and easy to get lost over and over again. The landers make it fun too, maybe even a bit better than the teleporters.

One of the Characters in L4D says it when you see "God is Dead!" written on a wall.


It's good for a little chuckle. Not what I'd call an Easter Egg though.

Don't know, is it easy to find? If so then its not an easter egg its just a set piece. The easter eggs in Zombies are mostly difficult to find(like finding three pieces of meteorite or three teddy bears to get music) or activating various things(fly trap in Der Riese, tapes in Kino der Toten, the whole Death Machine process in Ascension) and of course the dialogue is good too. Richtofen, Nikolai, and Dempsey have some good ones, Takeo not so much.

"My gun is empty, just like Dempsey's head." is probably his best one.

True, it's not really an easter eg. I suppose the lambda symbol shaved into the biker's head is more of one, but even then...

halonachos: You consider THAT hard to find? I see the standards for gamers have slipped in the twenty years I've been gaming now.

Francis has a Lamda symbol on his head? Where?

Them sneaky snakes, I never noticed that

what's the meaning of it?

The 'Lambda' is what they had emblazoned all over the Half-Life games

Meh, I don't really care. The more they release, the quicker their downfall.

L4D is boring and too repetitive IMHO.

Also, OT, but Final Fantasy is worse then CoD in how many there are.

True, but at least Fantasy isn't shelling out a game every 6 months.

Welcome back mr necromancer.

It's less than a month. Not necronisation.

A thread wasn't visited for a month before a post appears with very little content to bump it back up to the front page, sounds like a necro to me but you are the mod...

Necronization is only done to the living.

I get a lot of hate for saying this, but I honestly feel like Call of Duty is the plague of first person shooters. Mind you that it wasn't a stellar genre to begin with.

I say it's a plague because (yes, this is all opinion) I feel like it's a bland, repetitive game that's the same every time they release it, but people still buy it and rave about it.

Story? Nope! Variety? Nope! Who needs that crap? /sarcasm off.

They could bundle a literal piece of gak, slap the CoD tag on it, and it would be a smash-hit.

As far as her being the most popular, that was proven by a poll given by Valve.

No she wasn't?
Ellis was the top favourite character, when they polled it, using both the games during one time only, that is when they implemented the mutations and the weekly polls. I know this because I saw the results when I used to check the blog regularly

Don't make up statistics to support your very poor arguments

Easter eggs are anything hidden for the players to find in a game, it doesn't have to be shaven into a character's head to be an easter egg. Who knew that you were supposed to use the action button on the red phone in the Shi No Numa map in nazi zombies for an achievement. Who knew that there was a radio on a guard tower outside of the map in Kino der Toten. Its not so much that they're hard to find normally, but they're kind of hard to find when wave after wave of zombies is going after you. Well the guard tower one is hard to find, and the one in the chandelier is also hard to see. Same with throwing the monkey bomb into the incinerator in Der Reise.

I've also been gaming for twenty years and I think that the lack of stealth games is abhorrent.

Whoop modern warfare 3 is coming out, another similar fps to all the others that the un-hardcore gamers will buy in their nooblet droves, halo reach and cs:s ftw + bump

Zoey has been the most popular character in L4D amongst PC gamers throughout the series. And if you want to give me some bs about "made up statistics", you should stop being a hypocrite cite your own damn uncited claims.

From the L4D Blog:

The PC crowd continues to love Zoey. The polls were pretty much identical except for the top two. Xbox 360 users prefer Ellis then Zoey for their top picks. PC users prefer Zoey and then Ellis. Last week Bill (3rd place in this week's poll) was ranked ahead of Zoey in the 360 poll and behind Zoey in the PC poll. I think PC players are sweet on somebody...

Emphasis mine. So despite your ignorance and hypocrisy, Zoey continually scores at the top of the list of most popular characters, and for PC gamers, has consistently been at the top since the beginning, while 360 gamers are a bit more equitable in their love for characters (liking Bill and Ellis just as much). Still puts her as an amazingly popular character, regardless.
