Those are amazing ideas.

Convention center level.

I guess ninjas'd be like Hunters, but without the pinning ability, just jumping around and Slapping you.

Pirates...

hmm...

Pirates will have a cutlass! And block melee attacks with it! Arr!

EDIT: Except the chainsaw...chainsaw really sucks in my opinion.  It's a melee weapon with ammo, which removes the point of having a melee weapon.  Sure it kills stuff "OMG HOLYCRAP FAST", but I would rather kill stuff at "Oh wow that's fast" speed and not have to worry about being dumped with a pistol at some inopportune time.  So it needs the advantage.

Agreed.

Zombie gorillas for tanks are a necessity, and panthers can be hunters.

That sounds kind of hard to do.

[PPE:] =o

An Infected Zoo would be amazing. But it would require a lot more effort if actually making the animals Infected. If you just had common and Special Infected like normal and then have a zookeeper Uncommon Common, you could have the animals stay in their cages. A Zookeeper could rile the animals up, and then they roar/squeal/whatever, summoning a mob.

But if doing Infected replacements, have a Rhino as Charger.

I don't quite get what the bio suit zombies and zombies in contruction suits do, but for an uncommon infected, I'd like to see one that can camoflague.

For special infected, a flying psychic one :)

Here's my analysis:

Construction: Hardhats provide headshot protection
SWAT: Bulletproof frontside, minor headshot protection
Bio Suit: Slight armor protection, maybe more melee resistant, 50% chance of dropping a bile bomb (contributes to an achievement)

Biosuit Zombies are also fireproof.

And Construction Workers have earmuffs, thus making them ignore pipebombs. Which becomes quite the nuisance when 1/4 of the horde is these guys and half your team is down.

Zoo level saved. Doing that, and a brilliant crescendo event. Animals may be hard though.

Oh, the Constructions are slightly tougher, ignore noises and are NOT immune to headshots.

Biosuits are simply fireproof, nothing more.

Swat are boolit and melee proof from the front.

Mudmen run at a lower profile, are faster, more camoflagued and leave mud on your screen.

Hazmat Infected's main thing is that they can walk safely through fire.

Last night, me and some random people decided to go for the melee-only Survival achievement, Beat the Rush. We made it to 3:10 or so while I was on. Then my computer crashed. =/

If anybody wants to try to do melee-only, get me. 'Twas fun.

I find it strange. Do you need GOLD medal to get it? BEcause I've got a bronze metal using an axe only and still didn't get the achievement...

Zai, what's your steam name? My steam account is deon23, and I am Deon in DFC group. Add me.

Well everybody in your group has to follow the melee only rule. Including bots. Who never go melee only. So if anybody in your group is idle or leaves for just a few seconds, no achievement for you. Also, you have to be careful when you're incapped to not fire your pistols. And you can't use pipe bombs/molotovs.

But as far as I know, you just have to get a bronze medal doing the above.

And my Steam name is the simple '[DFC] Zai'.

I was playing Parish Versus today. Jockey is broken on the Bridge, as he can immediately incap a survivor on the edge if the others don't shoot him off first. The only 'balanced' part of that is that the Jockey dies doing it. And I think Charger can do similar. Still fun though. First time I joined a game, I was up against some people who play Expert Realism and whine about it being too easy (circumstantial figure of speech to indicate their skill; not literal), and on my team was someone who kept firing at me. When Bridge was loading up, the host quit or something, forcing us back into a lobby. Most people quit, but I stayed in. A whole bunch of less skilled-players than were on before joined up, and we proceeded to complete the game. Other team still won.

Fun, though.

I managed to instakill Ellis on the bridge as a Jockey, I rode off the side of the upwards slope and he kind of bounced over the edge into the sea. I'm not sure if that's intended, but I'm sure Chargers are just for knocking survivors off the bridge.

Also, on the first map of Parish, just as the survivors come up the ramp to the first square, you can charge them and use the knockback to launch them into the water, killing them.

EDIT: This is pretty cool. Apparently Nick and Francis have a connection. A gang or something, maybe?

Possibly. Nick may be a higher up while Francis is one of the henchmen or something.
