      1) No I haven't been to Vegas. I guess this makes my opinion of the level design moot.. ?
      
      2) I do read all the text that survivors spit out at me. These two never once hugged once reunited. All they did was continue shooting zombies around them. After multiple attempts to talk to them after bringing them together failed, I gave up on the quest.
      
      3) I realize that... My point was that they replaced a creative way to gain more PP points, with another that IMO is lacking in creativity. As long as you can find two weapons that can be combined, you'll get double the PP points. I can only hope that the multipliers get larger as the game progresses, but as I stated in my OP, I have only played 3-4 hours in so far.
      
      4) Ok... I can see where a few getting bit would cause an outbreak. It just seems so massive for the amount of time that passed since the zombies escaped containment. How much time was meant to have passed from the gameshow to the initial zombie escape, to Chuck trying to get to the green room? Doesn't seem like even an hour to me... o]
      
      Thank you for the final statement. I have bred, and I guess you could say my kid is ugly.. whatever.. It's all a matter of OPINION you see. I think the way they chose to render the daughters face in this game makes her look retarded.
