Zombie Mod?

[LT. Dan's Legs]

Does anyone think they can make a proper zombie mod for the game? I think it would be extremely fun.

[Gattobuono]

Please no!

The market is already flooded with tedious zombie games. You're spoilt for choice.
Why would you want to turn a great tactical military game into yet another zombie killing game?

Because we can?

While a Zombie Mod is probably something I wouldn't be interested in, I would never tell a modder "You're not allowed to do this because it doesn't fit my sensibilities!" ;)

[moist cake]

zombies will be fun!

[beelzebug]

if you make a zombie mod it would be sweet to add in some relationships and other kinds of interpersonal options so that you can feel the bitter loss when the zombies overwhelm your base

also some basbuilding options would be sick so then you could build a base and defend it from zombies

then you would have to send out guys to get supplies and then make sure thyat they dont get eaten by zombies

i mean it is the zombie apocolypse afterall maybe the us marine corps vs zombies haha

Who said that?

I'm asking for an optional MOD. Not a dedicatied zombie MODE. Its up to you guys if you want it in the game or not. You wouldn't even have to download it if u didn't want to. I just think it would be kinda fun with a game like Call to Arms.

Agreed. It's a game of tactics, hence totally the wrong genre for zombies. WTF tactics would zombies use anyway?

[Loktar]

I've wanted a zombie mod since SHOWW2, the closest thing that exists is Soldiers of Anarchy (which is great btw). Rather than just a hold your ground type zombie mod, I always thought this engine lent itself well to a more RPG like experience. Scavenging for ammo from fallen zombies, ect. It would make for a pretty great tactical squad based survival RPG for sure.

For those asking about tactics, ect. Zombies generally play a secondary role in most serious narratives. You would most likely be going against other armed groups, with zombies and survival playing as the backdrop.

Setting up Sally the Sniper in a good spot waiting for the enemy to round the corner when all of a sudden 4 zombies catch your scent and force you to move the character rethinking your placement, or maybe risking a few shots to kill the zombies but revealing your cover.

Or getting into a battle but suddenly a group of zombies stumble between yours and the enemies line of fire with the group breaking off after both opposing human squads forcing you to rethink your strategy. Focus on the zombie threat, or try to use the confusion as an advantage to eliminate the enemy?

Those saying a mod with zombies in this game bring nothing to the table aren't very creative in their thinking I suppose.

Zombie mode is great for all brainless children The reason: For example Dayz :It is more easier to camp on a roof and shoot down zombies they cant shot back.Or the movement-speed of zombies. It is much more easier to hit slow walking zombies then soldiers in tactical movement.
Or the splatter. Most kiddies like games with splatter and prefer simple splatter gaming .

I can give a lot of examples,but the main reason: All is moch more easier (for the new brainless mainstream-community) to figh against zombies they are much more easier to kill then soldiers with weapons.
And you see it very well too in all the released games: Very simple worse games like COD,Battlefield ect have the most playercount and many games haver a zombie-mode too.And many "only zombie-games will released too.

Lol,the brain for all the zombie-kiddies is too small to play real games. They wanted only to have games/modes so simple as possible .....and in combination with ranks/unlocks/stats/splatter is the dream of each mainstreamkiddie!

And they can play what they wanted,but please beware the last serious games for such brainless kiddies. You finf enolugh mainstreammes on the market.

And Arma3 is the best example how to sabotage a game/community when all the brainless children buy such a serious game only because stupid mainstreammods.The arma community is switched from a serious community to a kiddie-community. It is a huge different between the OFP/Arma1/2 community and now with the mainstream-mess community from arma3.

And when not believe open arma 3 browser and you will see: 90% only mainstream-mess-server.
And the "Start" for the fu..... kiddie community was dayz.

For CTA: When it become zombiemode(s) or mods many player will buy this game only because the idiotic zombie-mode(like in arma) .And so you will have a very worse multiplayer in CTA (with the ranksystem the exist MP is nor very good too,but not explain it again).

And all the zombie kiddies will try the non-zombie modes (standard CTA) too and you will become a very worse multiplayer experience.

Arma3 example again. The mode "EUTW" is great,but you see so well when all the altis life kiddies come to the server and sabotage all the gameplay-experience because they have no plan how to play a tactical gane (drive with 2 nhq to the same place,running alone and play rambo,drive alone and nor wait for teammates,fly with transport heli full with teammats till enemies feet and will shoot down.....ect. ect.)

So fo serious games it will not a good idea to support such mainstreammess of zombie mode or other simple mess (like altis life arma3).

We dont have many serious/good games and it will be very worse when such games will become a worse community (like arma3) because stupid mainstream-modes/mods.

Lmfao. You shouldn't use "kiddies" and "mainstream-ness" too much. It makes you look like a joke.

But I do agree, the Arma series hasn't been the same since the Dayz mod. A shame really. Hopefully this doesn't happen to the MOW games if a zombie mod comes out.

It has nothing to do with creativity. There are endless opportunities to be creative in the tactical military genre without zombies. In fact, I'd maintain that you need to be a creative thinker in order to play tactical games successfully. It's about lateral thinking, no?

What, on the other hand, is so creative about adding zombies to yet another game? It's been done ad infinitum, the market is flooded with this crap, and there's absolutely no creative thinking process involved. It's a totally unoriginal cliché.

no more zombie stuff, if you want zombie stuff go play project zomboid

There are PLENTY of ways to take the "zombie" concept and do something creative with it.

Also, still think its weird that people are so bitterly opposed to a completely optional, voluntary, fan-made mod.

Like I said earlier, I probably wouldn't be interested in it, but if someone else is, more power to them! I'm not going to tell someone that they're having "wrongbadfun".

Exactly. And those games are just the tip of a massive iceberg ... like I said, zombie fans are spoilt for choice, whereas fans of hardcore tactical games have relatively little to choose from.

Yes, and it's been done in dedicated zombie games such as those you listed above, but cta is a strategy game. Zombies, by definition have no strategy. There is a good reason why they're called zombies you know.

Not bitterly opposed, simply annoyed that people even think that a great military strategy game, which strives to be as 'realistic' as possible, would even need such stupid fantasy drivel.

But more poignantly, zombie mods, as another poster has pointed out, have a record of ruining tactical military games. Arma 3 is a case in point.

Well bully for you, but if you're not even interested in zombie games why are you spending your time defending them?

Are you trying to present yourself as some kind of superior, equinanimous defender of equal opportunities for kiddies who desperatley need their fu#king zombies in every single game?

Superior? No, I'll reserve that title for those who say "Your form of entertainment is WRONG! Wrong wrong wrong!"
