Well I think its pritty hilarious that people are justifying there statements by saying "Real zombies dont run" and such, to my knowledge there arent any real zombies, its just based on voodoo folklore which is based on the symptoms of TTX poisoning from were bokors would put tetrodotoxin and datura in peoples wounds in hopes that it would cure them.
Anyways back to the real topic, I would be more afriad of runner zombies, Ive never been afraid of shamblers, they wouldnt be much of a threat unless one was in my house (Which is pritty small and narrow) otherwise they wouldnt be that much of a threat, I'd still be afraid of them and woudnt wish to be chased by them in real life, but like I said there not much of a threat, if one got too close a simple push kick would drop them on the floor. Its hard to get hold of a gun in Britain but I have a nice longsword sitting on my wall, I even own a few sharpening stones (though there for my Hatchet and I havent used them on my sword, its probably illegal to do so) so I'd just hack off some heads while making my way to some were like Meadowhall were I'd bunker down, then again if it was shamblers and it was spread via biting and such, then I'm pritty sure the millitary would have it taken care of pritty quickly.
However runner zombies, well thats a different ball game, you carnt just side step them, they chase you, they'd probably hunt in packs too so my Martial Arts or sword wouldnt help much, with shamblers even though they hunt in groups too I'd be able to take shots with the sword or throw puch kicks and keep pulling back, but with the fast one's well I wouldnt have time, they'd simply rush me. There usually alot more clever then shamblers too so I imagine they'd be able to climb so just getting to a high spot might not work as well. Again though, I would just make my way to Meadowhall with my family and other survivors and bunk up there. I doubt the place would be overrun before we got there, maybe some one might have cleared it before we get there lol. But that would be the safest place, find all entrances, lock them seal them with what we can, then baricade it, find as many weapons as we can, some improvised, and wait it out.
The worst thing that could happen in shamblers scenario isnt the zombies, its man, they'd be roiting and looting everywere.

The problem with fast zombies is that zombies are still dead. Complete with muscle and tissue deterioration. A fresh zombie (one that was just turned) would early on have rigor mortis and for a short period after rigor mortis faded be able to move fairly well. But since they won't have anything preserving them they will begin to decay fairly rapidly and after a few weeks the muscles won't be able to run any more. Just a matter of how bodies decay, not so much that I dislike them.
well, its either clawing off your face or shuffling forward to create the same fustration you feel when walking in a small coridoor behind an old dude with a zimmerframe... why dont we all play some fun games where they mod a chainsaw into halflife?
I've always thought the point of zombies was to shoot them in the head or they won't die. This is where we lose why slow moving zombies existed. In a game like left 4 dead or what have you, you need fast moving zombies/infected because you don't use headshots to kill them. I mean how much of a pain in the ass would modern zombie games be if the headshot only rule applied. where if you spray bullets into a horde you might get a few kills but the rest would just pass on through with no results.
That is why I hate fast moving zombies because they remove the point of them being zombies leading to certain games that end up being a fire button mashing instagib snooze fest.

I like them better than the slow ones.
At least they pose some threat. If you get killed by a slow zombie, then you deserve to die.

Well, i think they freshened the whole zombie scene up a bit, when you've seen one shambling beast, you've seen them all. besides, in a game, they offer a challenge to your reflexes, as they're harder to hit, but they're normally less resilient, as the slower ones have to be done with a head shot, whereas the speedy ones are susceptible to most weapons.
I think they're disliked because they make everybody's Zombie Plan about ten times more difficult.
Well it depends, if they are zombie's by the definition then no we are fucked. If they are running and they only way to stop them is a bullet in the head we are all fucked. Now if they are lets say infected that can run then I would be more happy because they will 1. Starve to death 2. After a couple of weeks of not eating they will become so weak that they could not run 3. They can die like any human IE a couple of bullets to the chest. So ya I hate fast zombies, but not fast infected.
