Well, we have some concepts related to "health" but it isn't for food and water at the moment.

We plan on implementing a random infection that causes a bleed independently if you have 100% health. Basically you will be notified that you are now infected and you will loose something like 1% health per minute (black and white after 1 hour). That will force you to search for loot, meaning patches to increase your time to live or an antidote that stops the bleeding and resets the random timer. But this works with the current health system. This is to prevent people from camping too much.

In terms of vehicle fuel, we have a few ideas but it's not a priority at the moment.

The zombies are added as an extra opposition or distraction on some gamemodes, players also end up playing as zombies to increase the randomness and tactical aspects of their gameplay.
If the zombies are simply an option, then why don't you just call it PR: A(pocalypse)?

And as for losing attitudes? Like it was only the negative side of the poll that the attitude was coming from. :roll:

Let's keep it friendly, everyone. There's no need to argue here.

What I have to ask...

1) Will the survivors be on one team and zombies on other?
For what I am seeing/ reading that the Survivors can kill each other (If they don't wanna work w/ each other) So constantly on the 'console' it will be... "Matty1053 teamkills Onil"

2)What is the real Point for this mod?

3) Like what @Eddie Baker said... So playing as a Zombie is an OPTION. For what I read what you posted Onil.


Considering the AI will be zombies? Like that will work out well...
The AI is horrible in BF2. (It's OK in PR) Since AI is easy to kill.

I would say having it as:

One team of survivors. Same concept almost like Pr.
One team of Zombies. Maybe more then the # of players on the survivors. (So it would make it fair.)


The best map for this m.m. is probably tad sae. :P


Dune, I am not arguing! :)

I don't find this mod interesting at all. I think it's just a waste of time from devs who could be working on new stuff in PR for example new maps.
I buy left 4 dead rather than play zombie mod. Left 4 Dead Gameplay - YouTube
But it's just me.

Meerkat, this is developed by community members, not the PR team.

As AD said,

This is not being developed by the Devs, it is being developed by 4 community members.

@ Matty if you're so against the minimod in the first place why are you suddenly asking so many questions and and giving concept ideas for it? Don't get me wrong... that might actually be a good thing. However, you might want to read the minimod's information before anything else.

The answers to your questions and suggestions are well explained in both the Concept and the Changelog of the minimod which can be found on the link that is on the first post of this thread.

What I do not get...

Why is it a "zombie Apocalypse survival minimod"

It's IMO impossible to have all 3 of those.

Zombie Apocalypse
Zombie Survival minimod. (I think this would be ideal.)

Maybe in the desc. would have: "In a apocalyptic world" or "The world is in a unfortunate Apocalypse."


Can I post suggestions on here or the other link you listed?


BTW, sorry I am such a ****. I am going through tough moments now unfortunately.

It is a Zombie Apocalypse Survival Minimod because it is a Survival Minimod in a Zombie Apocalypse... as in, surviving in the aftermath of a zombie-like disease that spread to the point of the near extinction of the human race. That is what an apocalypse is all about, something that can be considered the end of the world. And in the chaos of such a scenario, humanity tends to turn to the survival of the fittest and that is what the minimod tries to achieve. You're not only surviving against the disease and the infected (aka zombies) but also against other survivors struggling for the same resources that you require. Be that weapons and ammunition, medical supplies and transportation or strategic locations that might help you to survive.

The concept is pretty much decided on and we don't plan to change it much until it is done. We might however accept suggestions for extra features, not to change the core of the minimod. If you have any suggestions, post them on the other thread as this one is mostly about simply supporting the minimod creation or not and how much interest in playing it there might be from the community.

What in the name of FUCK are you talking about? It's a minimod where you survive against zombies due to some sort apocalyptic event. There's been an apocalyptic event, there are zombies, you have to survive, it's a minimod. How the fuck is that impossible?

saX, matty is right. No need to swear or you'll end up with another attitude problem infraction. Please show some manners, that isn't much to ask.

Do not respond to this post, unless via PM.

I recorded my gameplay at the 1st PR:Z (Not just survival Game Event) beta test.

However it would take ages to upload all the footage and no one has time to watch the whole thing.

So here's a little teaser (sorry if you don't like the music, there's no accounting for taste!):
Cheers, Murkey.

Lol I do



But I would say it is decent.

I just played a normal pr round on dovure dusk.
The Germans are virtually invisible.
The Russians are like green glow sticks. :P

I'd love to play a round with the zombies.
I would only play a zombie.

Whats wrong with any of the numerous zombie games? I am sure there are games out there which pull it better off than an PR:Z minimod would.

Yes they are... and they are intended to be a distraction. They're there to confuse you, when you can't distinguish if its a survivor or a zombie. You're not required to kill them though, you can easily outrun them.

But once we make the zombie game-play a bit more fun, you can expect zombie players hunting you down in groups/hordes and that is what we want to achieve. As a zombie player, you will be able to use the zombie bots as either a distraction, a blockade or bait... specially if someone goes commander. It's still a player vs player type of game-play for the most part but with a different balance to it.

As already mentioned we will have 1 gamemode without zombies and we will still organize some SGE's without zombies as well. So both preferences are met.
