    Looks like I may need to use the codes as I keep getting owned, but I do normally suck at these types of games. But I have a question: how do you pick stuff up? I haven't really seen anything to pickup but I may have missed something in the detailed roads.

    I think a new control mode would be good as well. One that instead of relying on you to move the joystick left and right to turn, it follows you around now matter which way you're going. Um like if you move the joystick right you're character will turn to the right and the camera would follow your vIew right over your shoulder. But don't do a control option yet until you get some feedback from others who have started playing too.

    how about a new game mode where you have to run away from the zombies to an extraction zone?

    race
    ok, so you start on one side of the map and theres zombies walking/crawling around everywhere. your job is to get to the other side of town as fast as possible without dying

    rescue
    you start in the middle of the map and theres an indicator telling you where the VIP is. there wont be any zombies appearing until you reach the VIP. once you reach him/her (who will be in a ruined burning building) zombies will start breaking windows and crawling in, you have to escape the building and fight your way through all the zombies while keeping the VIP safe and get to the ambulance who then drives off with you and the VIP in it

    i know its fruity but the light can that come from a head lamp? it looks strange to me to have it near and away from the neck also any items on the street we can blow up like propane tanks :D and i cant wait to see the run and gun update also maybe a few control schemes maybe do like N.O.V.A. did where you can move around the buttons to your likings and have lot of settings for controls thats the only thing that may ruin this for me at the beginning but i will give it time. also for melee weapons wheres the bent pipe and the crow bar. maybe have some c4? with trip wire or censors. other wise looking good will be a must have for me.

    whoa great idea but this game does not have any inside areas but you can always place the VIP near a car or building. i somewhat hope that gameplay style would have friendly fire if not ill lose in about 2 seconds :\

    i suggest taking a look at zombie panic! its a real fun game with great game modes
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_Panic!_Source
    http://www.moddb.com/mods/zombie-panic-source
    http://www.zombiepanic.org/site/index.php

    the general idea in zombie panic! is to have some players as humans and some as zombies.. i think this could work in dead strike as well, if the online servers allow it (would need about 6-8players per game for that to be most fun)

    ohh no indoor :(
    i havent got to buy the game yet, but about to

    oh well behind/in a car or something.. lying down on the street would do just as well

    team vs team- multiplayer is split into 2 groups. go around the city and see who can kill as many as possible/last the longest.

    protect the team mate- 1 random survior is picked and the rest must protect him and let him survive the longest.

    an online system with ranks and levels where you can login and play to ear exp and credits and put into a perk like system (like killing floor) and the higher you get the better the weapons you can buy.

    co-op campaign- play through the singleplayer with friends and every person aded increases the difficuly x1.5, online system with perks and better weapons doesn't work, just like singleplayer except its online.

    online leaderboards- rank by highest ammount of zombie kills.

    control scheme- tilt

    all i can think of right now

    Okay I got something more in my quest to get as much feedback to you as possible

    Make the shoot button more sensitive. Right now It doesn't register a lot of shots.
    also make the pistols fire faster. Completing the first and second levels was a pain because of the pistol. I would also like to see weapon upgrades, power, ammo capacity, fire speed, etc
    Also the shop's layout for the guns could be tweaked. I was confused by the 400/4000. Maybe label it ammo and gun cost.
    Okay now a biggie. For the aiming when in shoot mode change it so it's more of a battle bears style rather than a resident evil style. Like drag your finger around to aim instead of using the joystick for aiming. So if you haven't tried out battle bears get it and see how aiming was handled.

    Okay think that's all for today :)
    oh look the games out right?

    Tatoforever, I thought you said a while back that it would be able to run OK on a 1st Gen Touch. Now that it's out, I see that it is only for 2nd Gen. :(
    Can you make it compatible for 1st Gen?

    ok not a big deal but can you make Sam's shirt sleeves longer it looks like he is wearing his girlfriends shirt... and i really need some new control schemes maybe look Mc: s and N.O.V.A. most people like those controls i and think they would work well here too.

    I have not bought the game yet, but I'm not sure I like the controls. Please make an option to move with analog stick on left and swipe on right to aim/turn. Also, when does the introductory sale end? I think I may be broke after buying 2xl Offroad.

    Ok after playing a little bit I also felt that we need some sort of close auto aim and yes we really need auto reload with new control schemes I say just let the buyers make the controls just give them the pieces. So far I am loving the sound and yes I did jump one because a zombie was right behind me and I did not know so good work on the horror part. You guys still have quite a ways to go but it is looking good. :D

    Tanks for the input.
    Tip for firing:
    You can keep your right thumb on the shoot button but pay attention to weapon firing speed, you cannot shoot as much as you tap the screen. Some weapons blast real quick and others take some time ( hunting rifle, shotgun ).
    Btw, you can freelook if you slide your finger anywere on the screen, to see enemies coming from different angles.
    Cheers,

    It should be ok with first gen ipod touch, but you still need at least iPhone OS 2.2.1 to play the game.

    How about an online survival mode where you can have many online players in the one game just causing mayhem?

    Btw, bought the second I saw this :).

    How did you guys get to play thi. Game so early
    on? Did you get one of those promo codes that you can use before the game is out?

    Btw, I know this has already been said, but melée weapons would be great. However, Bluetooth and online multiplayer would be even better, as long as it's as easy and smooth as in alive4ever or COD
