Zombies really were never a threat, until this recent couple patches. DayZ was more just like a pvp, survival game than a zombie. I really like how they are going with the zombies, you gotta be careful because they hit you easier now. Zombies in the mod, you just ran in a tree or a bush, took out your hatchet, and killed them. So it wasn't that much of a zombie problem in the mod either. Other than that see where the future takes the zombies to.
