An alternative way on playing other zombies would be the same as playing classes in TF2.

Sure, they have their uses and main function as a class but there are weapons that can change the way of playing it. (Gunslinger as Engineer, Huntsman as Sniper, etc.)

Having the Brute move with a shield isn't OP considering it's walkspeed, though I like the concept of it, the way you said or executed it wasn't much ideal, or better yet, you made it weaker with this alternative. (Note: The stamina bar I'm going to say about is dependent on the default bar of the Brute which is kind of low or the attacks just use a large of stamina).

If you're planning to play offensively, you're going to just run to survivors with the Stampede ability, they're going to dodge it obviously and aim for you're back. Playing in Third Person would punish you as you have to move around your movement direction (and camera) in order to block the incoming shots, as well as the person infront of you. If you somehow successfully tripped someone with the Shield, it's no better than smashing them. Smashing requires no stamina but takes time. Running over them takes no time but requires stamina, but stamina is a huge deal for the Brute since majority of it's usage is throwing and blocking, but tripping someone for the cost of shield + stampede isn't worth it as you didn't do damage, you just tripped them, and you have a choice to either just let them go or just smash them. (Remember, there's other survivors as well).

Now if you want to play defensively, you'll be even more punished when using Third Person, as said before, you're back and sides are exposed, so you'll need to turn your camera (and movement direction), with this being said, you'll need a complete obstacle that hinders the Survivors from actually harming you (Oil Rig, jumping to the bottom one, or indoors from, any map) and remember, it takes out a huge amount of stamina from the old one.

So, it's not going to work out. Also I'd prefer that you make a list or a forum thread listing all the Alternative moves you said.
