I cooked this abomination up in the discord at like 4am It's basically like those bs Chinese PvZ mods for GnB

On top of all the previous hardcore mode changes:

1: Zuirassiers now do first person headshot stabs

2: Zappers just spam the ever living shit out of the axe shove

3: There's now zombie seamen carrying nock guns, they shoot once and die, possibly killing like half your team

4: Bombers now sprint, and no longer have lit torches that make them stand out

5: Theres also grenader zombies which are like igniters but they throw a cluster of grenades, they will also operate and shoot vacant cannons at you

6: Zombies can now climb every wall that is part of the map to get you

7: All infantry have limited ammo like cuirassiers

8: Sappers also need to collect logs like surgeons to build and repair

9: You weapons, both melee and ranged, can now permanently and randomly break

10: Runners now gouge your eyes out, permanently blinding you

11: There's a dedicated breathing button you have to press often to not die

1st, the graphics and style are much better in my opinion, it has better glows and lighting, on top of the more gritty textures, I also just really like how older games look.

2nd, the sound design is miles better, the music, sound effects, everything, are just super well done.

3rd, none of the new characters, ngl, I really don't like the new Gw2 characters, they're not the best balanced, and good Lord, the new plants and weeds do not fit in at ALL

4th, map design, the maps are a lot more unique imo, and due to having less characters, can be further built around those characters.

5th, and a really personal one, the asymmetrical gameplay, the game was designed for plants defending, and zombies attacking, plants have turrets, zombies have browncoats, plants have many stationary and defensive kits (turret modes, mines, etc) and zombies have fast and aggressive ones (warps, dashes etc) I think one of the greatest examples of this is chomper, he's actually pretty good in Gw1, as he's built near entirely around defense, in Gw2 on the other hand...

Most of this is preference though, you could prefer gw2 artstyle, love the new characters, adore the new maps, and dislike asymmetrical gameplay
