Looks great. Hopefully a beta is released.

Is this JUST online play? I haven't seen a preview mentioning a single player mode.

Theres already a couple threads on this.

I'm not too stoked on it really. I think it looks like shiit. I'm not a big fan of having an all out arsenal to take down zombies, i much prefer "survival horror" when it comes to zombies. I could be wrong tho and this game could end up being really fun woth the co-op and all.

 

[Jerry!]

You don't have an all out arsenal to kill them though. Its like the complete opposite. Thats the whole point and importance of team work in the game. No unlimited bullets, health packs are hard to come by, friendly fire is always on. The only way to win is work as a team.

Ah, well the trailer i saw had the team using all kinds of assault rifles and what not. Even if it is more surrvival horror, im still not too stoked as it just doesnt look that good, at least the vids iv seen. Ill pay more attention to it as it gets closer to its release.

I like how the game looks but you know what this reminds me of?


The Counter Strike Game when its Ops Vs Zombies.

Zombies have knifes to attack

I love playing that.

And yeah, I'll pick this up when it shows up on Steam. Hopefully it's as addictive as Counter Strike.

Me and my best bud plan on buying this game the minute it comes out.


We did the same with Dead Rising, we love us some zombies.

We forgot it came out and we ran to our local gamestop and got the last 2 copies they had. Good times...Good times.

Any who, after doing some reading does anyone know if this has Single player? Or Co-op story mode? Just wondering, ill keep looking.

 

[GFreeman]

I don't think it has a single player mode, but I think all the missions have a little story behind them, so I don't know if that would count as a co-op story mode or not. I may be mistaken though.

 

[Matrixo]

I love how they enforce the friendly fire with the only way to win is to stay alive. I love it. t:

 

[Joker]

I believe it has single player...the early interviews with the team making it mentioned single player...

 

[Matrixo]

Good.

I really like how they give awards and demerits for things like shooting your team mate.

 

[gregtestagent]

some peeps are gonna have way too much fun being the monsters in this game. feel sorry for the actual players.

Where have you seen all these zombie games? I haven't seen them.

 

[Matt]

House of the Dead, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Dead Rising...there are more, shall I go on?

Yeah keep going. But HoD I haven't seen that in awhile. I had no idea silent hill was a zombie game. I always just went with creepy monsters. RE yeah but that doesn't come out as quick as WW2 games like Medal of honor. Dead rising well thats new.

Ok, zombie/paranormal monster games. Better? Don't take everything so seriously Deathshead. It was just a joke.

 

[gregtestagent]

nice backpedal Matt. We need more zombie games....Zombies!

 

[Matrixo]

Bumpage because this game will rule. Not alot of people know about this game yet.

 

[Master Chief]

Yes this game will rule. Mike Patton zombie voice, yay!

 

[Matrixo]

I thought I'd bump this with some cool pics of the gameplay.

Now those Big looking Zombies the Fat one and the huge Hulk one are both playable if you are on the Zombie side. Incredible if yah ask me
