Why couldn't Philip beat the hell of the Infected?

[Im_Sexy]

Because the game is not aimed on using violence?

man, im not talking about that.

I mean Philip could attack them no?

He'S a scientist, not a fighter. If you spend your life studying things, suddenly starting to break things, even in defense, is really hard.
Also, scientific work doesn't exactly strengthen you ^^

The umbilical cord does look like a weakness though, maybe that thing was what Dr. Eminiss was talking about.

lol yes the umbilical cord
But i think he should beat them, i mean giving a little punch and stuff.. i think it would be enough to beat one of the infected
For example if some "infected" were attacking me with no weapons i would react, but not Philip
