Love the idea, I just had the same one! It would be the perfect end game content, having npc zombie hordes cooperating in some way with player zombies. This would be a solution to so many intelligence related zombie problems. Example: Player gets infected and slowly over time turns into a zombie. He has to stay alive, though as zombies can die, too. There is no cure out there, only medication to delay this progress. 1) After 20 minutes the first effects appear. Increased hunger, player has to start eating like a berzerk. Thirst fades away. 2) Vision sometimes goes crazy. 3) Player can eat dead player bodies but still counts as a survivor and is attacked by other zombies. 4) Outer appearance fades into zombie look. and so on. finally: Player becomes a full zombie and gains some basic controls over other zombies which fortunately is already implemented in arma2. Players get a zombie squad! New Objective: Eat human! Player zombies can only feast on survivor bodies and therefore have to track them to get food. If player zombies don't eat, they die. This would create a total game changing feeling because now suddenly survivors are never save anymore! Even in the woods they could be surprised by a horde of zombies which is controled by a human player zombie. The survivor won't know which zombie is the human because they all look identical and he really is in trouble now. This would spread survivor players more over the map, away from the few hot zones because the zombie players of course KNOW where to find fresh, tasty human flesh (Elektro)! The overall effect is that we now have two rivalling parties playing against each other, each one struggling to survive on the other's cost. Like two factions fighting each other but with members changing sides fluently due to infection. And I don't see a problem with the initial game logic of survivors being immune to infection. They don't have to be 100% immune. They could just have survived by chance or the zombie virus mutated. No problem to explain this one. And the whole feature is totally immersive. This would also bring survivors closer to another enabling more teamwork (common enemy). Right now I only experience other survivors as threats and shooting on sight is usual behavior. So if this feature comes, I'm sure it will be THE breakthrough of this mod into a full stand alone game. cheers! btw can some admin please move this thread into the suggestions area? It doesn't belong here.
