Why you no become zombie?

[mtclipz 31]

So this being a "Zombie" survival game or rather wild west shoot out with jeans and motorbike helmets laying around w/ zombie sounds coming out of nowhere, how come people do not become zombies when they die?  Or when you are attacked by a zombie you should have to find a certain medical item to keep you alive and not "turn".  Could add a cool element to the game where you meet a survivor but then realize he is bitten and you have to worry if he will turn.  However, for that to work the zombies would have to be actually a threat beside just giving away your position.

 

Yeah yeah its alpha so do not criticize or make suggestions :huh: , but just some thoughts.

You Are Immune. There Is No Reanimation. The Zombies Are The "Alive" Type, Indeed A Manifestation of The "Zombie"

It would be cool if they did, unless it's a headshot or you doubletap

That isn't how it works in this game. It's akin to 28 Days Later's Rage Virus. You're still alive, yet insane. And before you say they aren't zombies. They are, a manifestation of the zombie

where does it say that? 

[mtclipz 31]

Well even in 28 days later people turn.  I would just like to see this game become a true zombie survival game and not a military survival simulator or whatever you want to call it.  The standalone should not try to be like the mod just with slightly better graphics and animations and less bugs (eventually)... they should really do something innovative.

So quoting your own post without actually responding to it just to bump the thread? pfftt

Hi there. Yep according to rocket the zombies are infected humans, not undead or anything. Its a virus, and us survivors are immune to it :)

That was an accident which is why I edited it.  Do not be so quick to judge.  Damn apples...

Walking dead zombies.

 

Theyre virus/dead, from both camps.

If you'd like to play a game like I suggest checking out Zombie Pancic (free source mod on Steam) or alternatively Zombie Master (also free source mod) or any of the zombie mod servers for Counterstrike Source.

Yep as said - Infected humans not the traditional walking corpse zombies.

 

Hopefully the virus is explained in game some day.
