Blue is a friendly colour. Red is aggressive.

The game will be better off without him anyway, Orlok I'd just munch this thread entirely and be done with it.

What frames do you get though?

I'm calling hoax for now.

Fraps/video evidence or nothing.

Kind of takes the fun away. We just ventured up to GM but there was no sounds, disappointing. :(

You're playing Dayz wrong, sir.

It was such a surreal moment, we'd not long been chatting, were one of them had a Guitar playing as he sat on top of the Firestation. I shot him as he was running towards me playing it over direct. It was very surreal to hear the silence. Dayz eh what a game.

I killed two people before to stop them realising their friend had fell off the firestation in Elektro. I mean why risk two people freaking out about their dead friend when I'm wearing all of his gear when I can just shoot them where they stood? haha

They're apparently infected -28 days later style- but for gameplay Rocket should keep the speed they are at. It's simple really, when path finding is in and working, one zombie would be difficult for a new player just as one zombie at the beginning of most zombie films/novels are difficult. However that one zombie to a veteran player is nothing, same as in the zombie genre. A Horde of them would definitely cause a threat to both level of players so I think until something similar to that is implemented into the Standalone we shouldn't discuss it too heavily.

You should really read World War Z -don't watch the movie, ever!- The battle of Yonkers explains this also and it's very very cool. Plus everything is up for interpretation as it's all fiction so sitting in the boundaries of the zombie universe 'anything is possible'.

..... :emptycan:

If as you say "Dayz is not fun for new players" how come me and every fan of the mod/SA loves it for what it offers them? If it wasn't fun Dean wouldn't have created a SA.

World War Z (book!); Through a series of oral interviews, Brooks, as an agent of the United Nations Postwar Commission, describes the history of 'World War Z'. Although the origin of the zombie pandemic is unknown, the story begins in China after a zombie bites a young boy. The Chinese government attempts to contain the infection and concocts a crisis involving Taiwan to mask their activities. The infection is spread to other countries by the black market organ trade and by refugees; an outbreak in South Africa finally brings the plague to public attention. As the infection spreads, only Israel initiates a nationwide quarantine and closes its borders. Pakistan and Iran destroy each other in a nuclear war after Iran attempts to stem the flow of refugees from Pakistan. The United States of America does little to prepare; although special forces teams are used to contain initial outbreaks, a widespread effort never starts as the nation is sapped of political will by several "brushfire wars", and an ineffective and fraudulently marketed vaccine has created a false sense of security. When the world recognizes the true scope of the problem, a period known as the "Great Panic" begins. The United States Army sends a task force to Yonkers, New York, in a high-profile military campaign intended to restore American morale. However, the military relies upon Cold War tactics, weapons intended to disable vehicles, and the wounding or demoralization of human opponents: these have no effect on a force that uses wave attacks, has to be shot in the head to be stopped, and has no fear of death. As a result the soldiers are routed on live television. Other countries suffer similarly disastrous defeats, and human civilization teeters on the brink of collapse. In South Africa, the government adopts a plan drafted by ex-apartheid government official Paul Redeker, which calls for the establishment of small "safe zones", areas surrounded by natural boundaries and cleared of zombies. Large groups of refugees are to be kept alive outside the safe zones to distract the hordes of undead, allowing those within the safe zones time to regroup. Various governments worldwide adopt their own versions of the "Redeker Plan" or evacuate to safer foreign territory. Since zombies are known to freeze solid in the cold, many civilians in North America flee to the wilds of northern Canada; approximately 11 million people die, many from starvation and exposure. During a conference near Honolulu aboard USS Saratoga, most of the world's leaders indicate they want to wait out the zombie plague, but the US President successfully argues that the only way to survive physically and psychologically is to go on the offensive. Determined to lead by example, the United States military reinvents itself to meet the specific challenges involved in fighting the living dead: automatic weapons and mobility are replaced by semi-automatic rifles and formation firing, troops are retrained to focus on head shots and slow, steady rates of fire, and a multipurpose hand tool, the Lobotomizer or "Lobo", is designed to destroy zombie heads close up. In two north–south lines stretching across North America, the U.S. military leaves its safe zone west of the Rocky Mountains and crosses the continent, systematically destroying the zombies and reclaiming outposts of survivors (whether they want to be reclaimed or not). Ten years after the "official" end of the zombie war, millions of zombies are still active and the geopolitical landscape of the Earth has been transformed. A democratic Cuba has become the world's most thriving economy and international banking capital. China has become a democracy—after a civil war was ended by a Chinese nuclear submarine launching intercontinental ballistic missiles at the Communist leadership—but has been vastly depopulated, while Tibet, freed from Chinese rule, hosts the world's most populated city. Following a religious revolution, Russia is now an expansionist theocracy. North Korea is completely empty, with the entire population having disappeared underground; it is unknown if they survived or have become zombies. Iceland has been completely depopulated, and is the world's most heavily infested country. The United Nations fields a large military force to eliminate the remaining zombies from overrun areas, defeat hordes surfacing from the ocean floor, and kill frozen zombies before they thaw. Major effects of the war are a drastic reduction in the human population, which is alluded to have been brought to the brink of extinction, and the devastation of many environments and species, as much by desperate humans as by marauding zombies.

Thought they were very cool, figured I'd share :) apologies if it's been posted.

Why is the music from the mod playing in the backround?.

I find it kind of ironic you say that yet everything about you screams The Walking Dead. Slow zombies are better for this game as in the mod they were just annoying, at least now you can deal with them without them zipping around you flailing their dumb arms in the air.

I spent all day looking for a Walkie Talkie, got one but in the panic of killing 3 guys I left it on one of their bodies like a moron. Will keep trying later. Do they ONLY spawn in firestations?

I'll check this out tomorrow. :D

I'm up for that!. It's a shame we don't have Betty Vans now, we could have been like Scooby and the gang in our Mystery Machine.

That avatar plus that comment is scarier than this thread..

Thank you sir!.

Love this. I think I'll hop on tomorrow and try and find a walkie talkie. Anywhere specific you can get them?

I hope this is legit.

Why would they even bother putting this in the game when its clearly just as bad as the one in the mod which nobody ever bothered with? Give me the Winchester any day. Oh and Dogs can look up!.
