WTF? PopCap Planning Plants vs. Zombies Multiplayer Shooter?
Written Thursday, August 09, 2012 By Lee Bradley

Well, this is unexpected. Rumours are suggesting that the colourful and charming tower defence game Plants vs. Zombies could spawn a multiplayer shooter.

Citing a “Canadian industry source with ties to Electronic Arts,” Kotaku are reporting that PopCap is looking at making the title for consoles, “in the vein of Team Fortress 2.″

Backing up the frankly insane rumour is news that PopCap has set up a new team at EA Canada’s Burnaby office. 

Apparently, the new team is mostly staffed by ex EA Black Box employees. They’ve been hiring for an animator with motion capture experience and a designer with multiplayer shooter experience.

It should be noted that according to the source, PopCap has not yet greenlit the project. But still. Wow.

Hmmmmmm.
Now, if it get's supported and updated "In the vein of TF2" then I might be able to get on board. The setting and franchising rarely matters for MP shooters, just so long as it is fun.

However, "in the vein of Team Fortress 2", when you see EAs name on the box, will probably mean micro transaction out the arse to get every possible penny off of you!

I shall hold off opinion until I see it, but currently I remain at about the same point as @3
**FACEPALM**

If it's like that Gotham City Imposters or Team Fortress 2. Goofy type of first person shooter. It should have third person too as an option.
