Not sure if many of you guys would like this game. But this is ast person shooter, Co-op, Online, Zombie game. It's where you join a server then pick 1 of four main charectars and you are given a specific mission and you must complete it. For the people who have ever played a counter strike zombie server, you know how much fun they are. but this is 10x better.
Post your comments on the the. read the website/forums if your curious about this game. It will be realeased and available online from steam around march.
I just thought this game looked like the shit, i plan on getting it first/second day it comes out.

So what, it's like that movie "Stay Alive"?

I always wanted a Resident Evil MMO, I guess this will do 'till they stop churning out the god-awful outbreak games and make one.

[Enz]

Outbreak is fun... ; ;

[infernox]

Bump.

Well i got more news and im gonna explain this better,
First you pick a server either hosted by the release servers or a hosted server. next you pick one of four main charecters.
The four survivors include Bill, a Vietnam veteran with combat skills that have helped keep him alive; Louis, an assistant manager at a local retail electronics chain store; Zoey, the teenage daughter of a wealthy family; and Francis, who is big, loud, and rough, but always has your back.
Yes you are restricted to those 4 as far as we know. Once you start you are given a simple mission, such as escape the area or eliminate all the zombies. Also each server can hold 8 people, there are 4 main zombies that can be chosen like the main people.
The Boomer is a hugely obese zombie that can projectile vomit at The Survivors, blinding them. When it dies it blows up, creating a large amount of damage.

The Hunter is an agile zombie who can climb walls and jump over rooftops, similar to Half Life 2's Fast Zombie. It can pin a Survivor down on the floor and slash at them with long claws, rendering the victim powerless unless The Hunter is killed by a team-mate or The Hunter retreats.

The Smoker is a zombie with a hugely long, whip-like tongue that can drag Survivors away from their team-mates, similar to Half-Life 2's Barnacle, or Resident Evil's Licker. When in danger, it can leave a haze of black smoke, distorting the Survivors' vision.

The Tank is a huge, muscular zombie capable of throwing large items such as cars or blocks of concrete. It has a huge number of hit-points.

We know all the information about the zombies and charecters and true but we're not quite sure about all the game info. but we're positive this is no a mmorpg but u can roleplay if u want. it is a 1st person shooter. I'll post more information about this game when i can.

[Enz]

The fact that other players can control zombies makes me not even want to try it.

[infernox]

Well you only get to pick from one of the main Zombies. to even out the teams, i think all the more fun to play and more use of teamwork. i don't seeing it be much diffrent then like resident evil. u got the Smoker like that one zombie with the long tounge, then u got the tank n hunter which r like nemisis sepertated. idk wtf to put for the boomer but i bet theres something (yes i know bad comparrisons). but just wait until the trailer comes out i'll post it here right away. I want to also point out we're not entirely sure that you can be a zombie, but we're pretty sure.

I have to say that Outbreak was better than this game, if your information is correct.

[Enz]

I certainly refuse to buy any FPS games. But if there's a demo/free download I guess i'll check it out...

I know I can drag a friend along. (<3 having boys wrapped around your finger)

[infernox]

Just wait for more information to come out. I'll keep you guys updated, all i know is i love counter-strike and zombie games and this is it combined. also they should have a demo, usually steam has free trials.

[Enz]

Heh.

I'm not really into FPS games, I like GunZ way more. (Even though it is glitch-playing)

[infernox]

Some magazine scans i found, they are really nice and help explain it alot better.

Good article. I'm starting to think it's definately worth checking out at least.

I'm just going to be mad if I play, and can't be the girl because somebody already picked her. ; ;

No one wants to be a girl in a FPS. You can't stare at your own ass in First-Person camera views.

[Leb]

Free to play or Pay to Pay is my only question. >.>

[infernox]

Yup it's free play, you just get a steam account at... Steampowered.com then make ur password/name once you do that you can go online and download the games (for a fee) or go to the store and buy the box then register it to ur account.
