The Horde

[BunnyHillPro 111]

This has been suggested over and over, so I thought I would derp a bit and open a new thread! hazzah!!

When I'm full sprinting through the biggest cities in the game (Cherno & Elektro) and I'm actually TRYING to get zombies to follow me for the sake of fun or to drag them into an unlucky passerby I am lucky if I can even get a chain of 15 zombies. I am literally running into zombies faces so I aggro, and then keeping them well in my LOS so that they dont lose aggro and all I can find is 15 or 20 zombies!? Come on.. SO many people make forum posts about how ammo should be rare, or zombies should be harder to kill and I think that is bullshit. Let's just get more zombies! If I decide to run through a city like Cherno I should have 40+ zombies on me within the first five minutes, and holy crap that would be an incredible experience (take a moment and picture yourself infront of a horde, your ass right infront of the snarling bastards).

Pros:

Fun

Ammunition Intensive

Appeases the nooblets that want ammo to be rare

Cons:

Possible Server Side Strain

Possible client FPS drop

So what do you think? Please try to keep this clean and respectful, thanks.

TL:DR - More zombies equals a better Chernarus

There can only be so many zombies at the moment. Too many zombies create low fps and server lag.

Infected are stupid.. so the ones on the back of the pack lose clear sight of you and forget why they are running.

They don't necessarily succumb to mob mentality.

Yes, but client and server peformance is improving every week it seems, every new beta patch exc.

True.. Maybe a "Mob Mentality" mechanic could be implemented far in the future of this mod.

Actually.. I made a post on having less ammo in the game... But more Zombies would also work - would be more fun aswell. Unfortunately there are technical limitations.

My thoughts exactly.

Personally, I think top priority when it comes to the zombies is to fix their movement, it's jarringly bad. When that's done, then we can think about improving them as a threat.
