A question about zombies...

[Imafighter 236]

If they're infected, and their brain is rotting, wouldn't that mean they would just fall over, not knowing what to do?

Also, why do military zombies spawn at Deer Stands...they're hunting stands, not military watchtowers...

They are brain-dead except one little part of the brain that is the instincts, that's why they eat no matter what. Edited January 28, 2013 by MacabreLlama99

If they are brain dead how can they climb ladders?

DayZ is a mod for the military simulator/game ArmA 2.

Have abit of a think if you must.

Oh it's possible.

[intensity (DayZ) 312]

Basic motor function. It wouldn't be much of a fun game if all the infected were just crawling and twisting on the ground. 28 days later is the closest I thing I can compare this to.

I don't know where you heard that their brains are rotting.

They are infected with a virus that makes the go absolutely spare, it will all be explained in the standalone.

The details of the virus was thought up by Rocket's brother who is a virologist.

There DayZ zombies not your old boring generic zombies!

You can consider them being "bad and stupid people".

[Bottlerocket 205]

I always assumed that the deer stands had been commandeered by the military as checkpoints to catch infected people fleeing through the wilderness and spreading the virus. But even the guards succumbed in the end.

You have to remember that the world that DayZ is set in is post-apocalyptic. All attempts to contain the virus (and you can see a few as you go around such as barricades etc) failed.

I wish zombies were slower.

-They'd walk

-Some would be more rotted and crawling as they're decaying

-AI changed to go from point A to B instead of current wonky soldier AI.

-I had more written down on several threads/post on this forum

A (Where Zombie is)

B (Where they're going to such as player they're attacking)

Have you not read anything? Rocket has mentioned that the zombies flanking/zigzagging is being taken out.

This. It is starting to get on my nerves if I'm honest. They are NOT zombies, they are infected human beings. Nothing on them is dead or rotten!

[Zombie Jesus 723]

You are thinking way too hard about fictional zombies.

Others in a series of over thinking the zombie apocalypse.

Would they not just starve.

If I am able to rarely die to zombies how did any advanced military get overrun.

This food would be so bad by now.

etc.

Edit: Infected sounds like another name for zombies. They definitely have a skin condition and look pretty rotten, especially some of their faces.

Wwz does the military overrun really well :)

Why don't any of these cans of fizzy drinks I find all over the floor explode in my face when I try and drink them?

The whole infected idea falls down because of starvation when you consider how long some players have survived. There shouldn't be any infected left after a couple of weeks, its best we don't ask questions...

Sorry, I don't know how to read. -_- Yes I have read, but he hasn't stated how else zombies are going to work you dunce.

[DemonGroover 8836]

Why would their brains be rotting? They aren't dead.

Watch the film 28 Days Later for a peek at what the Infected more or less look and act like.

As for the Deer stands - i am no military expert, but isn't it just a term for a guard watchtower?

No those actually look like Deer stands where hunters go to shoot deer. Like I said as soon as we start thinking too deep into a fictional monster in a video game we have already gone too far. It is like pointing out plot holes in TV and Cinema, it is insanely easy to do for most stories so why even go down that road (worst one I have recently watched was Looper, it made my head hurt by the end).
