Juking zombies is the way to play now

[BaitedHook 24]

i just want to voice my thoughts after watching many youtube videos and streams when i see people STILL crawling and sneaking when started out as a fresh survivor and then getting owned when a zombie spots them and had to do the crawl up animation while getting hit and end up bleeding or broken leg.

i just want to say that running and making noise through houses and towns is the new way to play. dodging zombies is the new game now. having a zombie train should be normal while scavenging. when you are finished with a town just run through some houses/buildings go around some corners and go crouch or prone. all the zombies will stop following.

the game is now way more fast paced.

the advantage of running and going through town with a zombie train.

-zombie train can be used on enemy players

-makes you much harder to snipe

-you go through scavenging much faster

the only thing to watch out for is when zombies block the entry and exit of a building but thats why i avoid buildings with narrow/single entrance.

basically when you enter the building you need to finish looting before the zombies clog up the exits. you need good apm and familiarity with the inventory system....

It's definitely more of an option than it has ever been, but it's still bloody terrifying.

I dunno man. I haven't been able to ditch many of my zombie mobs lately. They also seem much easier to attract (audibly) than I remember from 2 weeks ago.

crouch run through towns, if you get aggro, just start running and go through a building with 2 exits and youre set. Just watch that you dont aggro more zombies on the way out. And you can always run through the barn thats at the outskirts of every town and lose the remaining zombies to make a clean escape into the wilderness.

I think its the most efficient way.

This will change if Rocket ever slaps a Stamina meter in the game :P

Yeah I think so too. It seems like the sound meter isnt even relevant or accurate anymore.

oh yea, cause sprinting 2 hours to the NWAF sounds like it would be way more fun if i had to take breaks to regain my stamina.

what nightpaw says.

until rocket add a stamina system this will be more effective than spending 30 min going through a city playing crawlsimulator2012.

also if you cant see a sniper you can see where the zombies go and follow and lead the zombie train to the sniper. this will usually make him waste ammo or dc.

I would imagine it's on it's way.

I have done the juke and jive zombie train as well recently... I miss the stealth of the 1.7 - 1.7.1.1.. I actually miss a lot of things about those earlier builds.

the pace was slow though

I pray every day for a stamina meter. Right now the only reason I die to Zed is because of my own overconfidence. I almost never go prone anymore.

I enjoyed the slow pace, it increased the tension / suspense of creeping within meters of multiple zombies. Taking shelter inside to watch a horde walk past the door.. finding your clearing to make an escape.. I really enjoyed that type of game play, but it's not for everyone I would imagine.
