Impossible situations

[Biaslemon 11]

A friend of mine just suggested this idea to me but he isn't a big forum user so here it is, Impossible situations, because lets face it, you can't deal with everything the zombie apocalypse throws at you, i think a random mass spawn of zombies would be terrifying, say you're looting Cherno and you're making a lot of noise, when you turn to leave all your exits are blocked, every alley and street you turn too teems with the undead. You can't shoot your way out, even that LMG you picked up needs reloading some time. The only way to survive this would be to pull an 'Otis' and shoot your buddy in the leg to try and slow the horde down as you make a break a freedom.

Not everybody is going to make it out of this situation alive, now imagine if it happened in the woods, you bumped into a roaming herd of zombies moving from town to town, and you're surrounded, you either need to get down and hope they pass or run for your life! It's a random event i think would give the zombies back some of their bite, excuse the pun.

How about hackers mass teleporting every player into water?

I think that's a good example of an "impossible situation."

[Biaslemon 11]

Yeah, but that is totally out of your control, and one that breaks immersion from the game, you don't get to die in a blaze of glory that way.

so you want more 'last stand' type situations? That does sound fun... But probably a bit of a strain...

[Biaslemon 11]

Yes! Exactly! I've had a few last stand moments when trapped in buildings etc. and those are definitely the funnest times when playing with friends, it always happens when we underestimate the zombies, and if they could suddenly attack in force and swarm the area on mass it would make me think twice about messing with the zombies as i do now.

I remember getting swarmed in one of those black houses, in one of the towns south of Vybor. I had a revolver with one speed-loader, and an m16a2 with no magazines! I shot the first six zombies in the head, and retreated into the back room. Then, luckily, I noticed a Lee-enfield sitting on the floor behind me. Silently thanking the prior inhabitant for leaving his rifle lying under his kitchen table, I loaded it up, and killed the next 10 zombies, giving me enough time to sprint out of the house and back to my bicycle. Then, I rode back after collecting some revolver ammo, and picked up my m16.

That whole fight was a ton of fun, just the stress of it all was a blast. Thinking "this is the end, this is where I make my stand" and then noticing that gun, and dispatching those zombies, makes for some great gameplay.
