InFa 6 Posted September 20, 2012 you could always go off the idea that has been common, a supposed "cure" has come out for a certain disease/cancer and has been known to treat it by killing off the bad cells when it goes bad and kills all cells besides basic instincts in the brain and basic body function which would result in the crawlers/hoppers/fucked up zombies that can barely walk or do it awkwardly, and if you don't want to blame it on the scientists bringing out an experimental drug gone bad, it could always be a natural cause that does the same affect as above, maybe some kind of disease that spread from animal to human that caused us to just resort to basic survival instinct Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aussiestig 681 Posted September 20, 2012 Green mountain is a radio tower though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DemonGroover 8836 Posted September 20, 2012 Green mountain is a radio tower though?That is a classic cover.Underneath will be a labyrinth of research and military facilities. Notice the military zombies that spawn - why would they be found at a 'mere' radio tower for Polka FM?The truth is out there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coldqwod 0 Posted May 13, 2016 I know this doesn't explain a lot of how it started, but I really like this story and am planning to make a video based on this using arma 3, so I figured that this old dude was up visiting relatives in Russia and he picked up what he thought was the flu, we all know he is probably pacient zero, and he gets to his home in new fields ( as of update .60) and his illness gets worse so his wife, think of and old Russian grandmother, calls the doctor who attempts to help him but an hour after he gets there the patient dies of a violent seizure and 15 minute later while the doctor is trying to figure out what had caused this seizure he sees a twitch in his hand, I figured this would look a lot like the scene from wwz, and of course the doc gets bit and calls a cop there's a struggle to contain patient zero and two cops are also bit and so on and so on until most of the country is infected and the military was mobilized to late and make their last stand in that military base where microbiologists attempt to create a vaccine from patient zero who they found trapped in a police cell in novaya petrovka. But of course the camp was over run and a few soldiers and civilians escape with cars and helis the helis go down off the coast and the cars crash or run out of gas. And these crashes are at the DAYZ spawn sites. Da end tell me what you think about it and wether or not it's worth it to make a video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
