Zombie Momentum - Occasional rarer zombie.

[Ruddager 0]

I've been mulling this over for a while, I think it fixes some issues.

You have a uncommon spawning zombie, it only spawns in areas where higher level loot are found (Airbases, etc).

If 'this sort' of zombie gets close to you, it has a 'Push' effect, making you fall to your feet and having to get back up. This stops you being able to shoot for a short, precious second or so.

This zombie has the same amount of health as any military zombie, and isn't any real threat if respected and killed like Zombies should be.

NOTE: As stated, this zombie would be rare (05% spawn?), and it only would spawn in 'higher level' areas such as cities and military bases. It wouldn't be a new player killer as it wouldn't be found in those areas.

Outline: This is meant as a tool to make Zombies more of a threat at higher levels, encourage group play and make Zombie mobs seem more of a threat.

What this should achieve:

- Having a massive hoard of zombies chasing you is less unrealistic and far more dangerous, if they get close, you can die (Rather than running away forever).

- This makes farming loot, etc, at higher levels more dangerous to do Solo, as Zombie hoards are a bigger threat.

- Higher level PvP should take an interesting turn - You seem many PvP fights where they ignore the zombie mob till everyone's dead. Having the chance of being knocked down really forces players to consider if angering the hoard is a good idea, and hopefully you'd get some interesting standoffs with two groups who want to kill each other, but they don't want to 'pull' the Zombies'.

Issues:

- It would have to be a very close AoE attack that effects one person to work, this would require work and I can see some bug issues.

- Wall Clipping Zombies, etc, would need to be fixed.

- There would be timing issues to consider with ping, etc.

I thought you were going to suggest female zombies :D

If rocket did not forbid the l4d comments I think this might get some. I do think it would be interesting though. Maybe zombie German Shepards that quietly patrol military outposts and can "smell" you would be another idea.

You might of accepted that as a fair response from girls you've propositioned, but I really don't accept that as helpful in any way, shape, or form.

Thanks,

I also agree with the proposal above to add rare zombie flavors, specifically in terms of their behavior.
