Something that would be AWESOME.

[Doom Guy 128]

So, let me set a little scene for you first.

It's dark, and you're walking along with your Remington, after all, you need to see and its the best you've got. You're in the middle of nowhere, and you don't expect anyone. Suddenly you hear footsteps on the road coming towards you, and fast. You spin around and point your light at man with a gun before trying to run past before taking him down. You wonder "Why was he running right past me?". Thats when you hear it. You quickly turn the direction he was coming from and violently evacuate your bowels in fear. A horde. Hundreds of them. Coming right for you. You start to run, and run, and run, and run. Eventually, you're thirsty. Should you stop to drink, or keep running? You try to drink real quick, but they catch up and you're bleeding. You can't bandage now, so you hope to get away. You've lost plenty of blood and then you pass out and then......THEY GETCHA

Seriously though, imagine that. A small chance for a large roaming horde of Zed Heads in a group of anywhere from 100-300 zombies, that don't despawn, and just travel in a pack. Someone might make a clan dedicated to eliminating these hordes after getting calls from players, sort of like the medic whitelist. A group of maybe 20 players joins the server, they set up a defensive position with sandbags, heavy weapons, satchel charges, bear traps, snipers, anything. They send out a group of scouts to find them, and lure them back to the holdout position. They sit there, prepping gear, and suddenly they see the scouts coming over the horizon, followed by a writhing ocean of the undead. Once the center of the mob is over the charges, they blow em. Then they get fed through the traps, and then they enter the infantry kill zone. They open up with SAW's in bursts about as long as it takes to say "Die Motherfucker Die" (World War Z anyone?) and the snipers open up. Nonstop rapid gun fire, as the undead are ripped apart, falling to the ground en masse. Finally, with only a few remaining, they are quickly picked off, and the clan moves on to the next server in need of an undead ass kicking.

I was expecting a doom reference.

Go to hell.

Sounds like an epic idea, and would be awesome to see.... Though i think you have been watching too much "Dawn of the Dead"

[smore98 225]

It would make more sense, I am quite sure zombies can by that close and frequent in between. I usually expect that to happen once I fire a gun in Cherno, but I don't get much reception.

Loved the WWZ reference. Fantastic book.

Guys. The horde idea is old. It is a good one, but people have been talking about it for months now. Rocket's ears are bleeding of hearing "Please add hordes". I haven't see any official statements though. Maybe on the vanilla version of the stand alone?

[Hydra (DayZ) 472]

I'm rather sure Rocket is working on implementing core features before adding "icing on the cake".

I want full whisket bottles, damn it.

Needs more chainsaws.

Q: n a post someone put a bunch of features they hoped for. One of them was the idea of a large wandering horde (100+). Would this be possible?

A: I've look at it and I seeing what options I can do for it.

You see, reading the threads about stuff like that is for idiots, I would just rather POST AWAY. I'm writing a thread about how bad the hacker problem is and how much battleye totally sucks CAWK as we speak!

[taco241 393]

Sure it's been suggested before. Still a good idea though. Thanks for "painting a scene" of a rampaging horde.

Seems about right, also ask if the standalone will run on ArmA 3 engine, ask about taking a shit, see if you can get answers on duping, and maybe throw in a rant about how 3rd person ruins the realism of the game. I almost forgot post a thread about Alt F4.

Edit: did not mind the post though since it painted a vivid word picture.

Don't forget to ask what the deal is with Mountain Dew and Green Mountain too.

Go to hell.

Haven't you been to hell already? You are the Doom Guy after all. I just find it ironic!

[Welch (DayZ) 756]

Without hordes, whatever shall I waste my M249 ammo on!?

[DemonGroover 8836]

I want Elektro and Cherno so packed with zombies that entering the city is almost a death sentence.

At the moment it is a death sentence but not because of the zombies.

1. Use zombie custom face skin

2. Get Lee Enfield

3. Run through Cherno firing it

4. Run towards any unwary cherno dweller and hit him with a crowbar
