Zombie Behavior During Rainstorms

Recommended Posts

I think zombies should be agitated and riled up during rainstorms.  The thunder and lightning should get them riled up and moving around in response to the storms, reacting to the thunder and lightning.  Any thoughts?

Considering that sound is their primary sense I find this a good idea.

This is great, what film do they distract them with fireworks...land of the dead?

 

They should have reduced visability and hearing in rain, just like the mod. But maybe add animations so they look up at the sky when lightning strikes and stuff. Maybe some walk towards the light, while some get aggressive and maybe pick a fight with another zed like in l4d :)

Well, zombies in the game already fight each other. This one time when some of the servers had trouble with the main hive and you would spawn as a bambie, I spawned and saw two zeds fighting.

Excellent idea, once they fix the sounds (and zombies/players actually hear gunshots) it will be probably easy to implement..

Great idea. So basic, but you're the first one to think of it  :thumbsup:

That would be great. Also I like the idea of being able to distract zombies using some items like fireworks or flares  :)

Great idea, Id love to see them flipping out and raging, maybe even being confused and scared

I don't remember if that is the name of the movie but I know exactly what you are talking about. All the zombies would stop what they we're doing to look up at the sky and "ooohhh" and "ahhhhh" at the pretty lights. Great tactic. I think we should be able to take the stones in the game and chuck them a decent distance to make a sound distraction, maybe even break windows with it from afar and see the zombies run over to check it out.

 

Think metal gear solid knocking on walls "huh? what was that noise?"

They should be faster, stop wandering aimlessly. And start nesting in houses and doing stuff other than standing look at the floor

Definitely!

Every time thunder sounds, they should change the path they were on and try and follow the sound.

 

Pretty much my idea, yeah.  Each clap of thunder gets them in a random direction in response to the thunder, tearing off in the direction.  The random movements could make passing through a town during a thunder storm even more risky as you trying to sneak up on one might suddenly have it moving in your direction.

You guys must be new. All great ideas. Will never happen. Bohemia games never change much from ALPHA to BETA to full release. What you have now is about what you'll get plus more zombies, vehicles and some form of base building. 

 

All the cool little polish features you guys are mentioning will never come. Sorry. 

Take it from me and the other long time ARMA fans.

You know that this game is produced by a different development than arma, right? Also we already got a few items and changes into the game.
