Unfortunently it looks pretty shitty, there is a reason that they sat on it for almost two years. Also we get successfully invaded by the NorKs!?! Come on, Space Nazis from the Dark Side of the Moon is more likely that that!

I guess it was suppose to be the Chinese at first until they realized that would kill any chance of it playing over there, so they changed all the markings and dialogue to NK.
JAG: So why do you need armor piercing ammo?
tcourtplayer: Zombies
JAG: For when they hide behind engine blocks?
tcourtplayer: Just because the movies say they will be dumb and slow doesn't make it true.
JAG: WOW!!!

It's partly that, and partly another reason - the Chinese have become a major power in the financial end of Hollywood. They supply alot of capital to invest in films, but it comes with strings attached.

Just found a picture of someone using what appears to be a Tec-9.

Saw it with Daughter #1. Plenty of shootie goodness involving AK's, claymores, grenades, RPG's, and the odd PKM, M2 and SAW. Different enough from the original to be engaging but with enough hattips to it to tickle the nostalgia bone..
