Player contamination

[inexorable 26]

We all know that the zombies doesnt came from nowhere, they were human, and then, they were contaminated by other zombies

so why the survivors can't become zombies aswell ?

there should be a probability that a hit from a zombie contaminate the player (a bit lower than the probability to break a leg)

then, the player should take medicine (which will be found in hospitals, the probability to find them will be equal to the probability to find morphine)

if the player dont take medicine, he start to shake, after 10-20 minutes (random), he fall unconscious, when he wake up from his unconscious state, he's a zombie, and he start to attack his team mates, from this moment, you can just kill him and take the must important from the stuffs that he has

tip: if you are infected, you are not attacked by other zombies, because they consider you as one of them, which is interesting in certain case, but remember that you dont know when you will fall unconscious (from 10 min to 20, random) so be careful, because your mates might wont be able to save you if you are in an area full of zombies

so, would you like this option in game ?

PS: English is not my native language so there will probably be some mistakes in my text

Survival game. Not a live-for-a-while-then-become-a-zombie game. If this were implemented, I'd join the RAC (Respawn Abuse Club).

Seen this "idea" at least 30 times in the past week. No, no and no.

you can get out of this state by taking pills

I dont understand your point, i mean, day z is a live-for-a-while-then-bleed-and-die, its also a live-for-a-while-then-get-shot-by-another-player

yes, you can die, isnt it the point of that game ? what make it hard and interesting ?

if you couldnt heal from a zombie bit, i'll understand your point, but if you can, i dont understand, you will die anyway, so why not from a zombie infection (which would be logic in a zombie game)

Yep. Being a zombie would be retarded.

But being a zombie you don't control, but just have view over, even more retarded.

being a zombie = die, for the player

No ! Youre all wrong ! I wanna chew up on some human flesh and then be killed because i have to walk slow in a building and someone throws tin cans at my face.

Not going to happen, sorry.

Also this has been suggested before, please use the search function.

Changing it a bit, does not make it a new idea.
