Whatever happened to the "giant" zombies that were to be introduced?

I remember, it was somewhere between 15-18, that giant zombies were to be introduced. Obviously that went south but did anyone else pick up the idea and run with it?

Versions of the Behemoth exist in some overhaul mods like Darkness Falls. There is another overhaul that utilized the same methods to create a number of other custom bosses, but I cannot recall the name of it currently.

It was shelved because the size of the boss caused issues with pathfinding in the voxel space. I wouldn't put it past TFP to bring something like that back later though for legendary bosses in specific areas with specialized mechanics. Either later in Alpha or as DLC after release.

Thanks. Well, it's a pity they don't have a small mod for it. I do remember those behemoths in "The Forest" that would go through the map and, IF they happened to be heading toward your base (when you weren't there)....say bye-bye to that base LOL

Khaine does have a modlet that brings back the old behemoth. It's not what I'd call giant, but it's larger than normal zombies.

Thank you. I actually "just" (at the moment i was about to look at this) ran across it in that big list. LOL

I love some of the elements of Darkness Falls but not the whole system and my game is very modded to my specific tastes but thanks all the same :)

I do love it when they break apart these systems and you can pick and choose things.

Then check his 7D2D page.

hes got modlets for specific things. A number of them are server side only, so no one on a server has to download anything to experience it, just the server.

Yes, i've seen some of his stuff. Mostly, his is why i love that they sometimes part them out.
I wish they would part out "more" of "The Wasteland"...too little of that parted out as far as i can tell.

Some mods with titan zombies:

Joke mod, darkness falls as others say, and war3zuk aio mod and maybe age of oblivion? i played a bit into the last one and saw a trailer with a dragon, but never seen one.

Who knows what's going to happen. Honestly, it's a big shock to me when it happens because i asked EVERY coder (when they released it, some here some not) if they will part it out and, at the time, the answer has always been "no". Now that I've seen it come out my thoughts are "i guess he changed his mind".

Of course, years ago, i would get jumped for asking questions. I will say a lot of people have lightened up since the 20 teens years. It was really aggressive, back then, if you questioned anything the coders did.
