whiteboy greg 21 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Since there are no zombies in the game shouldn't the Z be taken away? I know that Z day is just another way of saying last day, but it just remind me too much of the novel World War Z. Seems like it's attaching itself to the current zombie craze with the walking dead and such, It also seems to cause confusion as tons of people still call them zombies.

whiteboy greg 21 Posted January 9, 2013 Seriously how many people suggest that the "zombies" should have to be shot in the head to be killed only to be told by 5 different people ay they are not zombies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mos1ey 6301 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Seems like it's attaching itself to the current zombie craze with the walking dead and such,Pretty sure they're 'infected' in The Walking Dead too and I don't think it's set in stone that zombies are 'undead' and not 'infected' either, they aren't real in case you hadn't noticed. xDAlso, I always thought of DayZ as Day Zero.Y'know...KamenkaChernarusDay 0From there on out it's your story...

Mos1ey 6301 Posted January 9, 2013 They are infected. My point is that I don't remember anyone ever saying that zombies have to be undead risen from the grave, I'm pretty sure the infection in DayZ, Walking Dead, 28 Days Later etc. would still fall under the zombie category. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whiteboy greg 21 Posted January 9, 2013 Agreed there is no hard set rules to what a zombie is but I think people do have a way they perceive a zombie which is why you have so many question regarding head shots and movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mos1ey 6301 Posted January 9, 2013 Well I know they had Rocket's brother (a virologist) write up a document about the hypothetical infection in DayZ, maybe that will feature in the game somewhere. Seems like a lot of wasted time and effort if they aren't going to do anything with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spinager 152 Posted January 9, 2013 I wish they have Head-shot only in Standalone. Maybe as a setting!? PLEEAASSEEE!!! Slow moving and maybe 50% more zombie spawns :D 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whiteboy greg 21 Posted January 9, 2013 And saying "face palm" is about as clever as "don't go there" or "as if". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beastoverlord 574 Posted January 9, 2013 I wish they have Head-shot only in Standalone. Maybe as a setting!? PLEEAASSEEE!!! Slow moving and maybe 50% more zombie spawns :DMaybe slow moving, but head shot only? If they are only infected, then they should bleed out too, just like regular people.
