    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
