NightRider107 0 Posted June 14, 2012 I've only just heard about this mod and I haven't even played it, yet. I don't even have Arma 2, yet. But I was watching some videos on YouTube and thought it looked awesome. I've been waiting for a realistic zombie apocalypse game like this for years.The problem I have, and the suggestion, is that from the videos I've watched, the zombies move way too fast. I'm one of those people who follow the George Romero/Max Brooks view of zombies being that:a.) they can't runb.) they can't climb ladders, which I heard in one of the videos I watched that they can, andc.) they can't climb up stairs, either, which I saw them do in one of the videos.So, if this mod is supposed to be "realistic", why can the zombies do all three, when they shouldn't be able to do any of those things?I'm thinking about getting Arma 2 and the expansions, and possibly playing this mod, but with those three things being what they are, I'm not sure. Also, I'm curious, is this mod an actual mod that I would have to download and put into my game files? Or is it just a client-side mod that only effects the server? I ask, because my computer seems to be really limited with mods to games. I have Fallout: New Vegas and Minecraft, and for both of them, and I assume, all other games, I can only have so many mods before the game just won't work. It's probably a RAM limitation. But I would hope this is just a client-side mod for the server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are living, enraged humans infected with a prion disease.

And if you want to talk zombie realism, I'd argue that a DayZ style zombie infection would be infinitely more likely than a classic zombie infection. The bottom line is that slow, classic style zombies are only really threatening in large numbers. We're talking numbers that would cause serious server stability and performance issues. It's just not something the engine is capable of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
..Critical..: 4 Posted June 14, 2012 These zombies are driven by rage and not hunger, there out to pummel you not eat you, there still human just infected with rage, think 28 days later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do affect the brain and they turn it into swiss cheese slowly but surely...An evolved form of the rabies would fit the bill better.That or bath salts...
