Where are children corpes, infected?

[Dvayne Reaze]

I mean there are none. What happened to kid population. Kids exist in l4d universe. We got kids room at Farmhouse, we got Kiddieland, NIck suggests to repopulate world, playground in Hard rain.

Why would we want to see dead children

They all got insta-kicked from the world because the age rating was too high.

Realism.

children zombies suck. have you played no more room in hell? those little ones are fast. imagine being surrounded by a horde of child zombies kicking your shins and punching your crotch.

something something bad taste something something think of the children something something protest

It's just considered poor taste to show violence against children on a level much higher than violence against adults. Left 4 Dead is dark in a lot of ways, but it also balances that with a kind of cheesy action comedy romp atmosphere from the loading screen posters, the way the Survivors joke along the way too, and some of the ridiculous set-pieces like rocking out to a concert to attract a rescue etc and the fact that the game is primarily meant to be enjoyed as a fun multiplayer experience with friends rather than a dark, brooding horror atmosphere. Scattering dead kids around wouldn't really gel with that.

There's a bunch of horror franchises out there that cater for this sort of thing, but I don't think realism is the top priority of the zombie game where downing entire bottles of painkillers temporarily cures having your ribcage shattered by a zombie with tree trunks for arms.

L4D2 isn't dark enough in tone to involve child zombies, plus i imagine Valve didn't want to aggitate the media watchdogs with what may have been such a high profile game. So not only are they entirely absent from the game, in-canon it has been stated that anyone who may have been considered a "child" simply died rather then succumbed to zombification.

You can try No More Room in Hell. That game has child zombies.... and you'll quickly loathe them the second you see them. Nothing like a hard to hit, agile, always running, obnoxiously screaming 5 year old little girl wanting to gnaw your leg off and yet is somehow more durable then the common walker.

The reason why children aren't present or even hinted at in L4D2 is because Valve already got on the bad side of media outlets with L4D1 and the beta of HL2 as in L4D1 the church bus in Death Toll was originally gonna be a school bus thus implying that children were harmed just by the school bus's presence, media outlets picked up on this and slammed Valve to the point they changed the school bus to the church bus (even though it makes no sense because its still a bus and children can be on a church bus just as much as a school bus) and the beta of HL2 actually had children being shown as labor workers... do I need to say anything else as to why media outlets slammed Valve on that too?

There is a reason why zombies did not starve to death yet

I guess they didnt want to add children to their games anymore (maybe)

I just LOVE it when people intentionally ignore my comments!

There is no reason. They would starve. They are people not undead

Proof there ARE stupid questions. (^.^)
Each generation becomes more tech dependent and subsequently more lazy. (>.<)

Searching "Left 4 Dead" "children" gets you plenty of answers INCLUDING the points Cursed Hawkins made (twice).

Even if you just want to "trigger" a discussion at least BRING something to the table.

OP... next time... make SOME effort.

This is akin to the toddler in the back seat of the car asking "Why?" a thousand times. (^.^)
