Zombie Lunge?

[CerebralZombie (DayZ) 151]

So this is just a suggestion to make zombies harder. I highly doubt it will or can get added to DayZ, but maybe in the stand alone version? So here it is. You know when the zombie is chasing you and they get so close that they stop and attack you while you continue running out of their reach. Why not have it so they lunge forward as they get close to either hit you once, or grab on to you to stop you and maybe have it so you click 5-10 times on the mouse or some sort of gage to get them off of you? If there was a horde behind you, you'd get yourself into a sticky situation. If you tap quick enough you are free n' good to go. Since zombies are faster than you, I wouldn't recommend adding the whole "grabbing" idea as it would happen way to often while being chased. So maybe just stick to the lunge idea so the zombie gets close, then lunge and hit you once. They would stumble forward after and maybe add a percentage of chance that they stumble and fall to the ground. This would make running away much more of a thrill.

I will continue to elaborate on this idea, and maybe you can all too. I wouldn't want any drastic changes to DayZ, but this could really make the zombies bump up a notch.

Thanks for your time,

I agree. I think a zombie's sole purpose is to grab hold of you so as to eat your brains. This would pretty much mean if you are surrounded by 3 or more zombies you are screwed.

Maybe in the stand alone version, or even the "Arma III" version?

Unless the stand alone will be with the Arma III engine? That'd be sweet, but I highly doubt it. Why not make a bunch off of an Arma II engine version, than make one with #3's engine. Double the "Cha-Ching~"
