only one day? is anyone going to bother spending the time downloading it just so they can play it what, a couple hours?

Stupid marketing scam. once you've already downloaded it and played it for a few hours most people will buy it because they don't realize the game's learning curve only really takes about 40 hours to learn. (except for hunter.)

There's a learning curve? What curve?

Step 1: Get in corner
Step 2: Melee spam
Step 3: Rotate when tired
???
Profit.

Seriously, sitting in a corner and melee spamming takes no skill at all. That's why I refuse to do it. I blast zombies like the Lord intended. With a shotgun.

Honestly, Atomic's post is all I hear from people these days and it pisses me off. If you're doing campaign then do expert and sitting in a corner is one of the only ways to win, and it WON'T get boring. If you're gonna do normal why not do versus and make it interesting? Versus means you CAN'T sit in a corner and melee spam. It means you have to use your gun, but essentially sitting in a corner only comes when you activate an event.

I respect that you try to do it in the "correct" way, but when you lose repeatedly due to this, there's a problem obviously.
