Apparently some dudes already got 60 minutes on Last Stand already. And he has a video to prove it. Apparently the tanks stop spawing from 12 minutes to 14 minutes time period.

OMG 60 minutes,lol!

Yeah, I have the video if you want to see it. Everything stops coming at the end of 25 minutes. And all you fight is infected. Then at 60 minutes, everything starts spawning again. So brokem, but the PC took a dive but I did manage to save the video for you.

It isn't so much that the system is broken.  They didn't expect anyone to be able to survive the final onrush of the special infected.  At the end of the cycle you have 3 tanks spawn within 45 seconds of each other.  If you have a crew that is capable of taking that out then that is awesome.  The designers need to have a recurring spawning of specials instead of having the spawns stop.

The only thing I was excited about the DLC is the two new VS campaigns.
