The DayZ zombies are resembled alot by the 28 weeks later movie

In the movie, the are technically just infected people with a virus, and as such that kind of fits rockets logic that the zombies in DayZ aren't actually zombies, they are just infected people. 

 

The infected in the movie run super fast as it does in DayZ, and they wanna eat you even though they are still not zombies. Just something I thought about.

Yep, this is pretty much lore. 

 

*As much as we have "lore".

Well yes this is a given. Anyone who has seen the movie could make a direct comparison. However the looks are fare more frightening in the movie than in the game currently. These infected are to clean looking and fresh at the moment in game.

In the original mod perhaps...having 5-6 screaming psychos chase you endlessly was terrifying and fun.

I do think we need some full-on sprinters. And it's only really a matter of having an animation for "sprinting."

 

Because the zombies are no slower in the standalone (at least by my estimation, they're still right at my heels just as in the mod), but the animation doesn't reflect a "sprinting" action so much as it reflects a sort of "shambly jog."

DayZ feels like Scooby Doo movie, monsters are always just a little behind you but they will never actually catch you, unless you stop running :D

More like DayZ zombies "want" to be like 28 Days Later ones, I doubt in the movie they were able to punch one.

Hopefully the new Zombie revamp is awesome!
