A 'Dead Set' mod. It recreates Dead Set (obviously - if you didn't know, Dead Set is a British miniseries involving fast zombies identical to the Common Infected, only stupider and much more bitey).
It would be SP with all the special infected tossed out, and would be more of a puzzle / horror game than a 'mow the bastards down' style shooter affair that is L4D: A British tv set = no weapons save improvised things like paper scissors and fire extinguishers, but thankfully the zombies are quite thick: unlike their L4D couterparts, they cannot break down doors and windows and are too stupid to climb fences or even find their way out of a swimming pool (quite literally in the show). In sufficient numbers, they can break in, but you'd really need a big swarm of the bastards for that.
The puzzle aspect would stem from their above stupidity; you have to escape by running like hell before you get caught and eaten. Taking advantage of the fact that they're stupider than a McDonalds employee is pretty much the only way you can do this. Not that you won't find any weapons, it's just than Britain has gun control, making finding them hard. Oh, and you really do have to shoot them in the head this time.
