* SerialNumbersFiledOff: A [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools positive example]]; the gameplay is ''very'' similar to ''Left 4 Dead'', in that you play a RagtagBunchOfMisfits that have to fight off literal hordes of zombies in different locations to find safety. However, many gamers found this to be one of the game's strengths since the story and characters help make the game feel more like a successor rather than an outright ripoff.

It helps that, compared to ''VideoGame/Back4Blood'' trying to emphasize how it's a successor to ''Left 4 Dead'' with the "original team" behind it (even though that only included a handful of employees), only to end up faltering in spite of the hype, ''World War Z'' just tried to be its own thing in the genre, letting it launch more gracefully.

** In various levels, it is easier and more efficient to simply hoard a defense kit for the finale, making it bearable, than deploy it during the mid-level horde level. The same goes with the use of breaching charges.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: The prestige weapons and, for the most part, the weapon upgrade system, got a badly needed overhaul. Gone are the days of TierInducedScrappy, where one part of the upgrade offered simply worse benefits. Gone are the ''horrendous'' skins of prestige weapons. You can now set up the item perks you want or need, including the prestige ones, ''without'' having to bother with the downsides of those specific guns or simply how awful they've looked.

* LowTierLetdown:
** The Vanguard class suffers from CripplingOverspecialization i.e., very good in tight corridors, not much anywhere else. Thus, its overshadowed by more versatile defensive classes like the Medic, Fixer, Slasher and Drone Master.
** Drone Master has a choice between a fantastic stun gun on the drone that's great at crowd control and offers protection from sneak attacks... or the basic pistol, which has 15 rounds (and obviously can't recharge).
