Zombie animations etc.

Hello Everyone

I am new here, and what I see is that the game is super awesome, the best zombie Online FPS game so far.
But since it is Zombie themed, could you guys pay a little more attention to zombie animations like hitting or running I am writing this topic because It may seem seneseless but some of that animations are rather funny than scary. I know that is just a small issue, but the fact is that, the small issues creates the climate.

 

 

I don't know if the second thing I want to discuss is already in the game, but I think that Zombies should sometimes be more difficult to kill/ or be more active (In the night for example). It is becouse I am one of Walking Dead fan, and what we can see in the movie is that the action there is now more about the people less about the Zombies. And sometimes it seems like we should care more about the humans that zombies.

Thanks everyone!
Feel free to comment.

The animations are how they are because the ARMA 2 skeleton is quite rigid and annoying to animate with, and at the moment I don't believe there is an animation artist in the mod team. There are zombies who are harder to kill, Viral zombies who also infect you at almost a 1:1 ratio. They die with 1 headshot like others, sure! but have 3 times the blood pool of average zombies (4K) as for more active zombies, Currently zombies only spawn around players and therefore can't be 'more active' than others, however I know that R4zor and co. are working on making server spawned zombies even when players are not near, which may incraese the activity of zombies some.

Nice first post, the zombie animations do need a makeover, i think the bugs should be fixed first though, and no Undead head-shot zombies.

Like sabres post, The Arma 2 animation engine is used for people holding guns, not zombies....but in the SA animations will be better...

Thank you soo much, It is what I've been looking for. I did even a special thread about that.
Another question is : IS there going to be servers hosted by the Game Administrators or Players?

 

Becouse what I am trying to say is that : hosting by players or private hosters is bad in my experience.
you have to look for good server, servers are different , and its changin' all the time so if you find for example server where u start with nothing and u are satisfied with it, you may be confused becasue the next day server may be closed by the administrator.

So in conclusion : I hope that new Game Client will host it's own game on their servers. I really hope so
