Rocket says they're "infected" not "zombies" - end of argument

Recommended Posts

Simple question,

If they aren't zombies, then why is it called DayZ?

If they are just infected, then it should be called DayI, or iDay, or SeriouslyBadColdDay, or DayNotZ, or basically anything other than "Z".

Rocket uses the word "infected" out of the scientific view on the matter and because he is following the concept and the background story of the mod. Zombie is a more colloquial form and more widely used and is not forbidden. It's just what he personally prefers :)

Because they're infected with a zombie virus. Wasn't that obvious?

Hello there

If, IF, this were real and I saw chaps wandering around the way the infected do, I would nickname them Zombies

One could assume that in the DAYZ universe this may be the slang that became generally attributed to them before The Fall.

On the other hand it doesn't really matter what they are called as the infected/zombies/mad ballroom dancers still try to kill you.

I was reading posts, and got a little dumbfounded that a number of people felt it necessary to make this distinction, with the reasoning given in the title. Mostly it was as an argument against slow zombies, as in, "no, Rocket said that they're infected, not zombies, so they don't need to be slow."

I have said this before...Rocket may say that they aren't "zombies" but if it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, farts like a duck and quacks like a duck...it's a duck...not a chicken. These "infected" behave and look, in every way shape and form to a "zombie". They are zombies.

Maybe DayZ stands for Day Zero. Like it says when you freshly spawn.

It's quite obvious he got the infected idea from 28 Days later. It's a case of major rabies.... Not dead returning to life.

Yeah, well that argument just got shot down in flaming wreckage, didn't it. Still don't see the need to distinguish, however ... I believe there was a meal of justified payout to be dished. Can't server hop my way out of this one, now, can I.

Here is someone with logic and understanding of the basics of infected.

Oh, god, no ... don't turn me into a meme. I'd much rather be fed to zombies.

Two steps:

1. Find a body of an "infected"

2. Open gear menu and It says "Zombie" at the top left corner. (Or at least did in previous versions.)

End of discussion? Probably not... this is the interweb.
