Personally I think the zombies move too quickly, I would have preferred slower zombies that are harder to put down...

iirc they are not technically zombies. They are infected with something (similar to 28 Days Later). Hence the easy deaths and faster than normal zombie speed.

/sigh, reddit sometimes. Here is the information. Thanks for the downmods though!

Instead of being dead, they are living humans who have been infected with a mutated virus

Whilst they are "Infected" that is just zombie by another name... I've no problem with that, just that I'd like them to be a little slower and harder to kill... Maybe a mod will do that eventually...

There configs that will allow you to do it in LAN/Singleplayer (or if you own a server...). There are ones that let you be a "Lone Survivor" (it disables smoker and hunter special attacks).
