Left 4 Dead 2, a game where you fight zombies, is out today, and one of the big additions to the sequel is that you can now use melee weapons in addition to the firearms from the first game. There are quite a few different melee weapons in the mix (I never knew that thing was called a “tonfa”!), but Valve wasn’t able to use all of the ideas they had.

Feather duster

Dust buster

Sai (Raphael is cool but crude)

Pistol purse

Amphistaff (no seriously, go look at that — it’s an ALIEN SNAKE WIELDED AS A WEAPON)

Detached zombie arm (why are you hitting yourself?)
