some ideas for the infected

[thunderjaguar6 8]

the current dayz mechanics for infection is pretty neat,

you get hit too many times by zekes then you get an infection and then you die unless you find some antibiotics,

end of story.

but what about after you possibly die?

I was thinking that if you die of an infection and your friends or enemies don't pop a cap in your skull or burn you,you come back as a zombie,

but that's not it,if you were traveling for extended periods of time with a group of friends or kidnappers recently(like right before you died)you would track down those people,you wouldn't stop either

and you would try to kill them,of course your body would be an npc but it would be a smart one who would sneak up on your former friends/enemies on its attempt on their lives,

lastly you would have all your gear on you when you died unless someone looted your corpse.

I think this would add a little bit too the risk factor of the game,so you even have to watch out for your deceased party members

The infection isn't the zombie virus, it's like an infected wound or bacterial infection - hence it being curable with antibiotics.

 

The survivors in DayZ are immune to the zombie virus, hence not being infected yet while everyone else is.

would seem strange that all the dapper people got infected
