    I think it focuses on survival as you have to work as a team. With cs:s mods it's more just keep killing them until you run out of ammo.

    "The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive."

    Also, zombie are very fast paced, in a proper zombie like way.
    There's also 'special' zombies - Smokers, Witches, Tanks, Boomers... its way better than a zombie mod, trust us

    From bit-tech...

    I don't know if you know but you can have a go at INFECTED MODE !
    * Start a single player, open the console and type :
    * sv_cheats 1
    * ent_fire !self setteam 3 (you wont be able to spawn and AI isn't moving, so do: )
    * director_force_versus_start 1
    * z_spawn hunter or tank/boomer/smoker
    Repeat last step to respawn, but you will respawn where you as spectator is currently is, so move a bit in freefly before)

    and also director_force_panic
    also director_panic_forever 1 is nice and very hard...
    z_spawn witch spawn a non controllable witch...beware.

    Was a few people having a go at the demo at the LAN this weekend, gotta say it looks quite good, and if you don't mind starting over umpteen times, having allies mow you down when you accidentally cross their line of fire makes for roffles upen rofls

    Anybody waiting for the demo should bear in mind:

    So only a few days to try it, although I presume they'll do free weekends sometime after release.

    Purchased on Play.com for £22.99. This should be fun. Shooting zombies is always entertaining.
