    Hmmm, we've been seeing a few reports like yours... Are you using iOS 6? We've fixed something that was causing problems with the A4 devices with ios6 (hopefully will submit soon). Sorry about the slow down!

    This game does not look good

    I'm not a troll, I love zombie games. I mean, this game LOOKS good but 4 or 5 pistol shots to the head to take down a zombie? And the gun recoil and eventual zombie death doesnt really look all that great either. Think Ill have to pass..

    Thanks for giving it a shot (unless you're just basing it off the video - then, thanks for taking a look :p).

    Though, in all fairness it is 3 shots to the head with a lvl 1 pistol, less as you level it up or get better weapons ;)

    Haven't gotten to play much yet, but so far I'm impressed. I mentioned before that I really didn't care too much for NYZ 1, but this is so much better. The freedom of movement, much more polish (save for the collision issues with the zombies) and just overall design is great. Also plays very smooth on my 3GS.

    Look forward to mowing down some more zombies!

    I have an iPhone 4 and iOS 6 and the game has a really low framerate, but I think is because the ancient hardware? I don't know. Still playable anyways. :confused:

    Glad to see the impressions of the other early posters (a lot of beta testers I'll admit) turned you around and convinced you to get it. And that you're enjoying it.
    The big step up from the original (one I enjoyed myself at time of release) is very obvious and just shows the massive leaps forward in terms of iOS and how hard Eric and the team at Foursaken worked on the game.

    I have an iPod touch four and iOS 5.1 and tested the game (haven't bought it, only have $1.13 left in my account) I had smooth framer ate, from what I've seen it may be and iOS 6 combined with iPhone 4 problem. Not ancient hardware :(

    We should have an update out soon that fixes the performance issues on older devices that have ios 6. It should bring it back up to 25-30 fps. Sorry about that!

    Co-op arena is unlocked after you beat the 1st level (the blue tac). You can also play co-op on any campaign mission with the "team-up" option.

    Was a big fan of the first game and am struggling with this one so far. Still glad I bought it, but is it just me or are there collision detection issues when tapping to shoot zombies? Seems when I tap to shoot only part of the time does the shot hit the zombie, even if it is point blank. I'll clearly tap for a headshot and sometimes will see the impact hit a leg or something. Lots of times when tapping nothing happens, or the game sees the tap as a swipe and moves the camera. Also are you not able to be walking and shoot at the same time?

    I'm on an iPhone 5 if that makes any difference. I'll try clearing out the taskbar and resetting to see if it fixes anything...

    Hmmmm.... haven't ever seen accuracy that bad!

    There is a slight spread when tapping to shoot, to simulate worse accuracy when firing from the hip (pistol only has an effective range of 30-50 feet). Accuracy is improved with Marksman skills and by upgrading your weapons. But ultimately if you want more precision aiming, you'll have to go into iron sights!

    People that have complaints about the speed. Jamie from Foursaken has explained to us in beta. That the reason for a slower speed is because he wanted this game to be a challenge and to not make it easy.

    I know that in games like Cod zombies and BO zombies you can run pretty quick and easily kite your enemies. I guess that explains why I got to wave 109 on Der Riese solo. I was able to quickly get away.

    .... but in a game like NY zombies 2, it's more about strategy and that's fine with me.

    Rip, JBruu, anybody try the co-op yet, haven't had a chance to try it and I'm wondering how it is?? Opinions?

    Not yet. Busy busy with last few days and it hasn't stopped yet so no gameplay time at all yet. Looks like it'll be Sunday before I get a chance.

    Let people know there's an add me thread set up as well just in case I don't get back.
