im also not a fan of how colorful all the zombies are now. there was a bleached, sunfaded, greyness to the zombies before that really added to the dead factor to me. granted ive gotten used to it, but i dont like the bright colors as much as the muted ones from before.

that said, there are some zombie changes that i do like more now, such as the crawlers.
just saying, not all change/progress is good.
Not all change/progress is good; But in this case the goodness is very subjective to the individual. I rather like all the new zombies myself, for example.

Originally posted by Brevan: It would be pretty sweet if the older models still occasionally popped up. When a new Biker or crawler spawns, the game decides which model to use. I like variety.
Unfortunately, if I recall correctly, there's a bit of an issue with texture and model memory- They already ride the line pretty close, so having more loaded in and available at all times is problematic to performance but also engine limitations.. This is in large part why there aren't just a dozen different models for every zombie type.

That was exactly the point. They felt the stripper looked out of place when not at the strip club, and you can only have so many strip clubs. So she’s not a stripper anymore. She’s a ‘party girl’ that’s supposed to fit in more places.

I also think the old biker looked better, but that’s just to do with how the new one looks too similar to the Demolisher.

I push for individual variation among zombies at every opportunity. I’m hopeful that the bright clothing could at least be tinted differently on each zombie some day. I agree that the color takes getting used to. And that goes for everything, not just the zombies, since the switch to linear lighting.
