By definition a zombie is reanimated corpse or undead human. There can be many reasons for its reanimation, one of them being infectious pathogen, so yes there can be infected zombies. But if they didn't went trough the death - resurrection process, and are just mutated freaks then its wrong to call them zombies. :)

Make the duck test.

When I see a bird that walks like a duck and swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck.

Now that i got your attention. how about being not so nitpicky?

Yea its not the game definition. Its not mine either. Its a general definition what is a zombie. I don't see the problem, i just reinforced your post with accurate definition to WHY people shouldn't call the infected in Mist zombies and you act like a freaking zombie... Some people are weird...

Yes, but don't forget about real life Zombie Bees. They're never dead. They are infected by a parasite fly larva that causes them to behave irrationally to the point of basically committing suicide. I try to refer to them as infected, but I have to think both the day and night infected look well beyond any medical cure. Although the night stalkers could pass for Deadpool without the costume.

Another behavior ZomBees show is coming out at night and when it's cold - even though the bees normally can't see at night and can't fly if it's below like 55 degrees.

Too bad for the zombie bees, but the topic here is zombies - fictional characters. And those infected with parasite bees have a silly nickname given to them by biologists.
The thing is that they are called zombie bees because their behavior is zombie like, not because they become real zombie after they get infected.
Same as the infected in Mist, they are not zombies, but show zombie like behavior - irrational, feral, mindless and dangerous. Kill on sight and feed.
That's why many people call them zombies. They behave as any other zombie known in movies and games, but they are not really zombies, they are mutants. :)

So i fully agree with the OP on this topic, what is beyond me why is he/she acting like i don't agree lol...

To argue for the sake of arguing?

I also like your use of the word mutant. The boss infected in the mine would certainly classify as a mutant. Another factor we overlook. Has anyone actually checked them for a pulse? After they became infected maybe these are the guys that got back up after dying. I mean I can shoot them with an arrow or a 9mm and they don't seem to bleed out after an hour or two during a mist event.

I can commit suicide or die in the game but seem to magically return to the living. Plus we can't see ourselves in a mirror or 3rd person so who's to say we aren't infected. (I wouldn't mind seeing that as a twist) Many would say the three survivors behave in a zombie like fashion - especially when they stand somewhere for hours on end or float through the air.

All this is kind of tongue in cheek and having fun with defining the true nature of the infected. ;)

Really? This is your problem?

Zombies become zomberts because their infected by usually a virus yes? They don't become zomberts through Combustible Zombification... >.>

[:WTF: Grendel]

Let's also not take the description out of context either. As it states:
"Players will be immune from the virus outbreak and must survive the situation by hoarding food, finding shelter and protecting yourself from wildlife, bandits, and infected. Players can also help other survivors and get the survivors to join your camp.

Players will experience dense mist that can happen at any time. The dense mist environment is accompanied by certain events, such as the infected people come around to find preys.

People who are infected and mutated will be able to come out outdoors at night or when there is no sunshine that means they can also hunt players while the fog is covered."

Zombie (from Wikipedia):
"A zombie (Haitian French: zombi, Haitian Creole: zonbi) is a fictional undead being created through the reanimation of a corpse. Zombies are most commonly found in horror and fantasy genre works. The term comes from Haitian folklore, in which a zombie is a dead body reanimated through various methods, most commonly magic. Modern depictions of the reanimation of the dead do not necessarily involve magic but often invoke science fictional methods such as carriers, radiation, mental diseases, vectors, pathogens, scientific accidents, etc."

Game tag... Zombie.

Appearance generally evokes the look of a Zombie... Sounds like a Zombie... Ever seen the show Z-Nation? These would be Mist Zombies... and then you got Night Runners... and a few mutated Boss Zombies. All... infected by a virus.
