Ok, so I'm working on a modern zombie map(I'll be needing a name as well, if anyone has some ideas :) ). Now, this map is not meant to be as hardcore military as Undead assault, but more of a fun kind of zombie map(I guess the best comparison would be Left 4 Dead).... But anyway, I need some ideas for cool zombie types, something fun and inventive. Just to give you a general idea, I have a zombie called the Haunt that has a bunch of Plague Flies floating around it that will attack his target for him. These flies must be killed off by a protective measure in your armor(If you have one :O ), or by another player. Something fun and inventive(perhaps not too much though.)

Oh, and if anyone knows where I could get the sounds from Undead Assault, that would be a great help too.

Also, this takes place mostly in a shambled, city area, so please, nothing related to jumping out of trees...

im thinking about your a bunch of riflemen with ubber shotguns with different types of ammunition (explosive, piercing, fragmenting etc) and make a cool bullet system liek you need to target somewere to fire your weapon, something goblin like with crazy inventions like gun powder grenades o_O not gatling cannons and M16 and shitz

good zombie fell enviroment is always nice, maybe make the units start off normal people they all start off with a pistol or something, and they can loot dead bodies lieing around the city 2 find better items, also dark and scary is always nice zombies running out of shadows nice camera system where u can only see where u are facing and make it so u cant see 2 far ahead, so that way it has more real scary fell to it

Jumper: Lures inside buildings, when somebody passes by, they jump at the target, and screams loudly

Juggernaut: A very slow zombie, with loads of health.

Gunner/mage Zombie: A zombie with a gun/magical balls floating around its hands. Can shoot/cast spells

Zombie Child: The most scary thing is always childs. Small, fast, and weak. Comes in groups of 3 or 4

Zombie Torso: this zombie is cut in half, it crawls slowly and has low health, but is hard to spot.

Ideas for names:

Village of Death
Plauged Village
Death and Decay
Zombie Panic
Hells City

all i could think of now... hope it works.

yeah, please do not make another zombie survival with those modern infantry shit.

Make something NEW! If its going to be like the other zombie maps, it isnt something new and no one would play it.

Just stop making another modern zombie survival. There are enough of them, the most are crap.

How about Zombies that launch MEATHOOKS!?!?!? :D :D :D :D

You need some that get less transparent the closer they are to you. Ya stuff like that just adds to the creep of the game, when one of your buddies gets Meathooked. Perhaps have it where it gives you the warning AAAAH FRESH MEAT before it shoots, so you can actually dodge.

Hehe, yes.

It doesent matter if the atmosphere is great, the zombies is great, and everything else, if some nightnelf music plays in background :p

Needs some harsh violins (always good for creepy music) and random screems now and then.

Ever play Tag in target? It doesn't matter if the person chasing you is some random kid or what not. As long as you give the player a sense of ergency and a need to run. making them not able to see EVERYTHING around them can make em scared. and the music is a MUST.

- Zombies with guns
- Zombies that come out of the ground
- Huge fat zombies that eat other zombies to get bigger
- Zombies in a hippie van that try to run you over
- Zombies on fire that try to give you hugs
- Zombies that throw zombies
- Carnivorous blobs that crawl around eating shit... that are made of zombies (piles of zombies that move)
- Kamikaze zombies that jump off buildings with suicide bomb vests
- A cannon made of zombies that shoots zombies at you.
- An evil macdonald's shop that tries to sell you poisoned hamburgers... hamburgers made of zombie... no, the whole place is made of zombies... or maybe it's just one big zombie that's in the shape of a macdonald's, that moves, and is on fire. Man that would be awesome o.o'

Ok ok... Zombies, Ok think Resident Evil; then replace every gun with a sword a bow. Throw in some creepy music and BAM..

Or, You could get away with a moddern zombie game. But it would have to bring in somthing S.W.A.T aftermath and that other one (who cares) dont have.

Resident Evil come Ninja Gaiden. Sweet. Make all heroes have low health like 3-4 hits death so you actually cannot tank.

You can't top SWAT, so dont try ;)
