Walking Dead concept!

Hello DayZ Forums.

i was just watching the EuroGamers Expo for 2012, and i noticed in the video where Dean Hall explains all the aspects and expectations of the dayz standalone that he mentions allot about re-creating all the zombie/player scripts.

i had an overwhelming idea!

what if you come close to PVP or a close combat war, or you just kill someone for the fun, and you manage to kill this player, and about 60 seconds, his body gets up and becomes a zombie and targets you! its kinda in the walking dead but i thought that would make an exceptional improvement in realism.

Why would killing someone turn them into a Zombie?

In DayZ the "Zombies" are humans that have become infected with an unknown virus. We (survivors) are part of a small perecentage of the population that are immune to that virus, hence we are not zombies and cannot become zombies.

ahh! now that i get the whole story behind dayz it is a really vague idea but in my eyes at that time it seemed like a logical thing to have within the game.

It should be a bit clearer in the SA.

There was a movie on youtube that showed the final day/evening of a survivor before it all started. Alas I cannot find it anymore, it used to be posted on the main page but that has no archive function.

Anyway the fact that the game just spawns you on the coast without any information and you're dead within the first 5 minutes of first launching the game can be confusing for some.

Do you mean Walking Dead concept art?:

Not the best of ideas IMO.

I honestly think the game make the zombies slightly more walking dead-esque with the idea of a guy coming back after death but this should be if mauled by zombies and the zombie slowly drops stuff while walking literally the item is dropped on the floor a gun stays on him though so killing him might get his gun but not his ammo

says who?! how did you become the ambassador or dayz to be able to tell people what the zombies in the zombies or the virus in the game is or isnt?

Translation: Who said that? When did you become the ambassador on what the zombies on DayZ are or are not?

I think that's what it says...

Maybe if that player was already infected?
