Damn I'm good. They're better though, as I wouldn't have thought of the cornfield (which is odd since I've played in cornfields before and I absolutely loved it)

Also, Amusement park (House of the Dead 4 is going to rock)

I always wondered what would happen if our college campus got attacked by zombies on a Monday at noon. The screeching buses and cars trying to get out would be the best parts IMO.

All my friends are big zombie nerds...we often discuss what we would do in the case of a zombie apocolypse or infected breakout.

General consensus seemed to be get a bunch of us and take command of a Wal-Mart, or barricade in a friend's house who lives pretty far from town, out by cornfields.

My english 2 class' theme was Zombie Apocalypse. It was interesting because we had to watch Romero films and read some novels and analyze their critiques on society. Best discussion was if we were supplied with any fictional or not weapon what we'd use. Lightsaber seems to win in utility and ease of dispatching zombies, lightweight, no resistance when cutting through zombies, can act as a welding torch or a quick exit, it can even serve as a flashlight. There should be a mod for that! The Zombie Survival Guide is one of my favorite books because of that class.

Also from the trailers the cornfields don't look like the best place to be.

Might as well ask this in a L4D thread, will there be cross-platform multiplayer or is it 360 people with the 360 crowd and the PC people with the PC crowd?

I'd imagine that in case of a zombie outbreak, residents of mining towns would flock to the mines for safe haven. And after the zombies breach the mines... Then you've got a great map.

Sounds great on paper but how wide would the tunnels be? Cause if they are a 1 or 2 person thing it seems like the difficulty would ruin the experience.

^^ Depends on the mines. Sudbury has some huge cavernous nickel mines. the devs could employ some creative license on that one, with a nice combo of big dark spaces and small cramped spaces.

I could totally see that then, maybe some caves that connect to the mines for the big open spaces and changes of scenery.

No cross-platform play.  It's a Valve game and cross-platform play basically requires Microsoft to be involved, and they'd have to make it a Games for Windows thing...which won't ever happen.
