I prefer the old characters much much more. The old ones look like they have been fighting for a loooong time, and the new ones look like all of a sudden the world turned dark and creepy 5 seconds ago while they where taking a walk. The old ones look like that could have survived that, but the new ones, they could not have survived 5 seconds.

People think Valve changed them to look like more realistic people, but people dont look all clean and dandy in THE MIDDLE OF A ZOMBIE INVASION. And besides, if i am going to play an horror fps, they i dont want to play as some wimps, i want to play as the "kick-your-ass" characters! ITS A HORROR FPS! Who wants to play as the new redesign of the girl??????? I CANT EVEN IMAGINE HER HOLDING A GUN! Thats like paris hilton picking up a gun and becomeing a bounty hunter. no. not gunna happen. can you see yourself charging down the street as her?!?!? the new veteran (the old guy) looks like he is going to fall over and die at any second. the new electronics store manager (the guy wearing the tie) looks like he is just on his way to the next meeting.

people say, "they wont look all hardened because for all we know, the invasion just started!" yeah. the invasion just started. thats why there are tons of zombies, everthing is destroyed and there are no people. (sarcasm!) the old models where fine. they were awsome. they were kick ass.

oh yeah! and none of them have any beards any more! they gave them all a shave! people were acustom to the old modles. we liked them. they where changed from survivors to people who couldnt survive at all. people charging down the street shooting are hardened warriors, not "average people"

hmmm, well i think thats it for now.
