Mod ideas for L4D here!

- Alternate melee attack animations like tackling with your shoulder instead of punching back the Infected all the time. Or using the rifle to push them back then follow up with a buttstroke. Kind of like a melee combo.
- Guns from Counter-Strike or Day of Defeat (for fun)
- Command system to control zombies as a Boomer, like spitting a ball that attracts a bunch of Zombies (like that gland from HL2).
- Riot Shield LOL

  Oh, remember that Flash game "Last Stand" and "Last Stand 2"?
  
  Someone should port that to L4D. Basically it'd be you and other survivors behind a barrier shooting a wave of zombies. Between waves you can choose to divide time up looking for weapons or fixing the barricade. That's be fucking awesome coop.
