ROCKET! I love the changes coming with zombies, but I have one request

Recommended Posts

Apparently, from the stream I watched the other day, zombies will be able to run in buildings. I get it, it makes sense and I like it, but I feel there needs to be one counter change....

Would it be possible to have zombies/infected just run in a straight line and not circle players a couple times when they get close?

If we are going to deal with zombies/infected that can run at us through buildings, at least make them a little easier to aim at. The most frustrating thing ever is the zig-zagging and circling zombies/infected. Maybe even tone down there run speed, because as it stands right now, they will be impossible to outrun. If we turn to shoot them, they circle around us while zig zagging.

I could be wrong, but I feel the community would agree with me. I suppose that will be justified shortly after I post this.

my best tactic when dealing with fast zombies is to run up a hill. if you get to a steep enough part' date=' it forces your to walk, but if you zig zag up the hill, you move faster than the zombie. either do that to outrun them or get a bit ahead of them, then turn around and line up a shot on a slowly walking zombie.

yeah, I do that already, but that doesn't address the issue when you are in town or more importantly, a frustrating game mechanic that could be remedied.


Well, no one is arguing against my idea, but I am calling it now, this forum will be a buzz when the patch comes out and people can't run into buildings so that zombies are an easier target to shoot.
