please tell me the stupid weapons braking system is gone!
whole point of this game is to have fun ripping zombies to shreds, which is kinda hard to do when your worried about destroying your favorite weapon you worked so hard on finding and perfecting.
constantly found myself kicking zombies and resorting to cars instead of having fun with knives and baseball bats.
kinda defeats the purpose, no?
