Steam közösség :: Zombie Panic! Source

v3.2.8 Update Released

ápr. 19.

Hey everyone!

Today, we're bringing some interesting changes to the game focused heavily on weapon balance tweaks, additional entities for mappers, Angelscript improvements, map adjustments, bug fixes as usual and other miscellaneous fixes. Two maps in question, Harvest and Frozenheart, got some deserved love after all this time.

On Harvest, we're letting Survivors go outside of the house again, some heavy optimization work has been done within the map, we've reverted the capture point objective, and made some other tweaks. On Frozenheart, we updated a group of models that had collision issues and missing LODs (Level of Detail) - improving the performance significantly. You may also notice some of those changes in many popular custom maps that use those props. Full details in the list below:

Zombie Panic 1 Gaming Event - Part 2

Last year we celebrated Half-Life 1's 25th anniversary with a ZP1 gaming event with the community, reaching almost 60 players around three servers hosted by Pikouchu! We noticed some of you couldn't make it or missed the date after it's announcement, therefore we're doing a second part this Summer!

We'll share more details in the future. Until then, join Pikouchu's[discord.gg] or ZPS Official[discord.gg] Discord servers!

See you there!

ZPS 2

Honestly, I'd rather see the devs focus on making a proper sequel (preferably using UE5 or such instead of Source) to the game instead of updating this one. There are precious few GOOD zombie survival games these days, since most are either survival games with zombies thrown in "just 'cause", or they're... well, just plain bad games. Either way, I for one wanna see a sequel to this game! And one that ISN'T watered down OR that has any crappy RPG mechanics at that....

Community dying because of players

Hey, there is no way you can add an option as l4d2 for instance, that when u block a player he/sher cannot join in your current game? I mean, there are a lot of thing could be added too. There is no way you can join a game that is near end, just to add finishing blow to survivor team. There is no way you can avoid trolls o low life users, since they can change name url and avoid bans. So? what solution? Muted them do not work. Harrasing in this game it goes far than mods control.

This game is a masterpiece!

After all these years, this game still has its place in my heart. Objective based, team work focused, human controlled zombies (zombies that actually walk, not fly or sprint), even the infection feature. The atmosphere, the music, the ambiance, the lighting, just like in a movie. I hope this game will eventually get the players and attention it deserves! Really miss that redqueen v4 map...

Best regards and respect to the super devoted dev team <3 You guys rock!

New Zombie Panic! inbound?!

Our friends at Monochrome has just announced their interest to push the franchise forward by possibly developing a brand new commercial Zombie Panic! game on the Unreal Engine 4! To quote: "As we approach our 15th anniversary at Monochrome, we're looking back to our roots and we want to ask you, the community, your thoughts on the possibility of building a new Zombie Panic! Good idea, bad idea, thoughts or feelings? Any cool features you'd love to see?" If the project successes, we might be...

I would like to give it an in-between review, but unfortunately steam doesn't allow that.

There isn't any glaring issues with this game per-say, but there is a variety of factors that make it difficult to get into. For starters, there is often very little players online, roughly only being about one 24 player server full.

Second of all, it is a difficult game to know what the hell your doing as a new player. More then likely you'll spawn in as survivor, waste all your bullets on a single zombie and die, making this a punishing game for new players.

Lastly, this is an 16 year old game. There is nothing wrong with it being an old game, but it certainly shows, with the controls, graphics, UI ect.

BUT if you can overcome all this a remain patient, there is a pretty passionate community behind this with good moderators and community members, who I'm sure will be more then happy to help you out and teach you new things. For instance, I got banned for being an idiot in one of the servers and the appeal process was quite fair and I got unbanned, which shows that the mods are pretty reasonable.

Overall, not worth jumping into this game if you looking for casual play, as its rough for new players for a variety of reasons, but it is free so if you feel patient, I'm sure you will find this came fun and welcoming.
