Lets say that Left 4 Dead became real, on the news you hear "There have been reports of violence and cannibalism in the area please be advised that these people are very hostile and seem to infected with a new strand in the Rabies Virus, this is very contagious, i repeat extremely contagious with blood contact, or if bitten also"
What would you do?
What would be the first thing in your mind, who would you call, who would be in your group?
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

First off good question! I'd shit myself first, then i'd board up the windows in my house, make some weapons out of some random shit(Glade+Petrol lighter+Masking tape=Flamethrower) then see how long i could fight them off! if it gets too bad and they start to pile in, i'd weld some pointy things to the front off my car and burst through the garage door to look for somewhere safer!

Fortunately for me I live in the country so any infection spreading would take a long time to get to my area! When it did though I'd have to worry about infected cows and chickens.. an entirely new horror.

Puscifer
03-21-2007, 05:26 AM
lol there should be infected bulls in the game! imagine how cool an infected bull would be, skin pealing off him n that, lips peeling off showing his jaw! i could go on and on lol :P

If I was fortunate enough to survive the initial invaision I'd get some of my pals together and head up north from Southern Canada by any means necessary. I'd aim to get to Yellowknife, NWT and live off of canned goods for as long as possible or until it gets controlled. My friends have shit loads of guns so that wouldn't be an issue. In the event the catastrophe settles in for longer than a year, I'd be prepared to live off the land (fishing, hunting, etc). That's right, I've given this real thought, LoL

The One
04-08-2007, 07:57 PM
If this ever did happen there are, in my opinion, three major problems.

Stuff that should be delt with big TIME....

1.Food - Food will be overdated and turn rotter. You'll have to grow your own food
pretty much. As for natural resources like animals and fruits.... I dont think they
would be safe to eat. May contain some bit of the virus that turns you. You
never know.

2.Zombies - Duh

3.Tools - Weapons need ammo, ammo needs weapons. Weapons are no problem to find,
but ammo might be hard to get considering the couple thousand mindless
bastards that just finished ripping the love of your life to F****** shreds!!........
Sorry, anyway, just basically stuff to help you get around with and to keep
your ass alive. Other survivors are considered or could be considered tools
since they will help save your ass from those bastards. Just cause theyre
helping doesnt mean you can chuck theyre asses in the hordes of zombies.



Then again these three things are my top priorities, I would get these things solve quickly before s*** gets real heavy.

But seriously the thought that the world is turning into these things is really frightening, if you really think about it. being one of the few hand fulls of survivors give off a real lonely feeling. Well if this happens for real I aint goin down without a fight, hell no not after they killed all my loved ones, those b****** are goin down.

04-08-2007, 08:05 PM
Oh yeah, almost forgot if all this did happen and the tank existed, and I saw it runnin after me like it was runnin after the chick in the l4d trailer near the end, I'm using the last clip in the 9 mm for............................................... ........................................ ITS F****** BALLS!!!!!!!

bigger zombies + balls= BIG BALLS

BIG BALLS + 9 mm bullet in BIG BALLS= BIG PAIN


BIG PAIN caused by 9 mm bullet in balls shot at the tank by me + Tank = ME GETTING F***** up

ME GETTING F****** UP BY THE TANK + plus, well me= OWN3D BY TANK

Well. If you died, then you wouldnt have to worry about being beaten to death by Infected. A quick gun shot to the back of the neck could help... actually now that you put it that way... it would be.. surviving could work...

Flagstaff12
04-09-2007, 05:35 PM
If this ever did happen there are, in my opinion, three major problems.
I agree to your points. Survival alone without the zombies knocking on the door is a feat in itself. Over the centuries we have been increasingly dependant on other people to satisfy our needs like food and housing. Suddenly, making this every individual's responsibility spells disaster and hardship. It will be truly survival of the fittest and skillful.

taking this knowledge i would do my best to head north like anyone else who read the zombie survival guide. but if i knew it was only a matter of time id have to tape some hockey gloves onto my hands... and a mask to my face and tie my shoelaces together.. effectively making me unable to spread the virus and harm anyone else.. id also wear a sign around my neck with some witty bit of humor.. ive yet to decide what.

I'd head west, grab my girlfriend, toss her a sword/knife and gun, and she'd know, because she loved weapons too, then head north into the forest areas. I know a very isolated cabin in the woods, with a huge food supply.

Oh, it'd also be a dream come-true.

I share your ideas, I'd get so drunk that I black out, so I'd get eaten with out that much pain, if it became real, I dont think many of us would actually make it out alive, And even if you did clear the city(If you do live in a city, I live in a very rural part of NY, closest real town, is an hour away).

I have a shotgun in my house, however I have like 3 slugs and 4 birdshot, So that wont do. I would say screw my house, and boogie over to my grandfathers house, he has hunting rifles, pistols and shotguns. Not to mention the AMMO, and a compound bow, because we all know killing zombies with a compound bow would be Hella fun.

I would keep a bottle of NyQuil on me, incase I am in a, No ammo, No food, situation. Drink a bottle of NyQuil and go to sleep.

Alot of people seem to forget about CLEARING a building before they go in it. I mean, others had said &quot;I go in a Wal-Mart and get food&quot;. Well I am sure there are zombies everywhere, so you would want to get your group together and clear the area, or just make a perimeter around the food area until you have the supplies.

Then I would figure get somewhere High up, DotD style. 2 Tier Mall, PLenty of Water. Plus, I would make sure I have a 30-06 Rifle with me for picking random zombies off like in Dotd.

I doubt I would make it though, I live in Connecticut, which is in the middle of two big cities Nyc, and Boston. So the infection would spread threw my whole area TOoo fast. Drink zee NyQuil

If No ones as heard of the graphic novel *comic* The Walking Dead, In vol. 1 the main character rubs zombie blood on his clothes to blend in using the smell. He did this by chopping the hand of and rubbing the blood, and I forgot to point out it was a fresh killed zombie, not deuterated.

Just make sure you don't get the stuff in you mouth or any open cut

And don't get it near your face, for you will vomit

As for the poop, ......... my god man ........... that will attract an incredible amount of flies and zombies dont smell like fecies, why would they think of you as a 'brotha'. I would think a limited brain function zombie would have ENOUGH intelligence to tell the difference from blood and poop

But thanks anyway Dips3t, you made me laugh :D

Reguile
04-19-2007, 06:14 PM
I would go into parent's closet, they have guns in there.
Shotgun, .22's, I think a bigger cal rifle but I cant remember.
Chapter 1.
Maybe get my dad's truck and boat and go to a lake.. if they could swim, I'd go full throttle in the boat and haul it over the docking ramp onto land in the street and hot wire nearest car while fending my butt off from the zombies.
Chapter 2.
I would be sure to close the window and make sure the car I steal is really a truck, like a ford f-350 awd, they cant stop me then. I would stay clear of busy streets cause there will probably be vacant cars with zombies outside of it and I will not be able to pass.
Chaper 3.
I will then travel to Sparta and make an army of Spartans, about.. 301 people will do. Slaughter zombies then with my fellow brotherens.
It will be easy cause time slows down when you're about to attack when you're with other Spartans. We will fend them off in an alley way, their number will be meaningless.
Chapter 4.
There is no chapter, for this is SPARTA!!!!! *boots last zombie into a random 5 feet hole he just dug up and got too lazy to dig even deeper*

I'm sure it's been mentioned before but I highly recommend the book &quot;World War Z: An Oral History of The Zombie War&quot; by Max Brooks. All I can say is that no where is safe. Not the country. Not the tundra. Not even the ocean. And in a zombie outbreak your fellow citizens can be your biggest threat.

Nah, you are safe in the tundra, zombies cant go there. I'vep roven it.

04-21-2007, 08:44 AM
If zombies ever took over, I would find the nearest Super Walmart. Reasons for this are because Super Walmart has:

1.) Weapons (including hunting knives and guns)
2.) Lots of food
3.) Entertainment
4.) Beds to sleep on

04-21-2007, 08:46 AM
Yah I'd gather the town up barricade ourselves in the walmart... its safe there if you cover the entire place, then you can use the truck to drive around and get more food... be commando. This is why the US government is adding special drop down armored grating to all walmart windows incase of a zombie emergency.

Well, if left for dead became a reality I would load up my shotgun on the table, go through the level with 4 of my friends massacuring infected and there bosses. Eventualy reach the finale and, if we survive long enough, escape and be all like &quot;Oh sznap. that was crazy!&quot;

Literally thinking, first I'd get my hands on a shotgun, preferably a spas-12 but thats asking a bit to much. Id make sure my family was safe then get to my girlfriends place to make sure she was fine. Then me, with the help of my family and girl would go around slaughtering infected and rescuing all of our friends that we can. And sure, even some strangers if they seem worthy enough.

PS-Whats up everyone, I'm a new guy in town (forums)

Step 1. get as many pickles and explosives as I could
Step 2. Turn the pickles into bombs.
Step 3. go onto the streets and whenever I found a group of infected I would throw one of my pickle-bombs into the middle of the group. They would swarm around the pickle (everyone loves pickles) and it would explode thus taking them out.
Step 4. Rinse, wash and repeat
Extra step. Carry a lobster-bomb in case of a Mildred attack (yetis have a crippling weakness for lobster)

I mean, they might be nicer where you guyz are but up in New England Wal-Mart is shit. The food is gross, the place is dirty, and besides, I dont want to be stuck in that place.

Sure there are weapons, but not enough. I would rather be on the move, get as far away as I could from Urban area's. Not to mention ALOT of people seem to have the same Idea, and I will not tolerate zombies and a wal-mart full of whining, crying childern *lawl*

And there would have to be alot of Oust in the air, cuz that place would start to stink. And the bathroom would get nasty after one day ...

three words...ZOMBIE SURVIVAL GUIDE...
everyone who said that they would hop in their cars and run, i got a few questions...gas?...noise? (every zombie within a mile of the noisy car would hear you and converge on you)...and what about broken down cars blocking the road? people who ran out of gas or succumb to the virus in their cars. It's much better to travel quietly...and that goes the same with guns...let's say you pack a shotgun and 50 shells and go out to &quot;kick some ass&quot;...you find a few zombies and promptly blow their heads apart...you better feel proud right now because in about 10 seconds every zombie within a mile of the initial gunshot will be slowly shambeling twords you...in an urban area that can be over 100 zombies at once...good luck to ya...also the people who would go &quot;find a cabin in the woods&quot; good luck to you too. I'm shure there are plenty of cabins in the woods that you would randomly come across. If you just &quot;head north&quot; you must consider how fast you can move packing the amount of equipment some of you are so boldly saying that you are going to carry. Plus where will you go...i'm going to quote a good friend of mine and say &quot;If someone in your party says 'Hey! Let's just go out there (with lots of guns) and deal with whatever's out there!' hand him a pistol with one bullet and tell him that it's an easier way to commit suicide.&quot; Also WalMart has too many entrances...not easy enough to barracade...what happens when power and water is cut...most of the food will go bad...plus remember that a supermarket front is like a giant desplay window...ment to show the fresh, delicious food within. With humans on the inside and zombies on the outside...that's exactily what it will do. For those of you who wish to add to the already stressful situation some of us smart survivors are in by infecting yourselves, have fun with the 106 feaver, chills, pains, numbness, and coma that is caused by the infection. For those of you who actually wish to survive, get the &quot;Zombie Survival Guide&quot; by Max Brooks...i'm shure that other people can put in good words for that book. MOST IMPORTANTLY!!! Remember what you are trying to do...you are NOT the savior of the world...you are NOT &quot;just another victim of the outbreak so what's the point of fighting&quot;...you can NOT hope to survive if you just grab an assault rifle and chug a Mountain Dew...you are only a survivor...and what you are doing is surviving. Keep moving...keep low...keep quiet...keep alert!

Riiiight.

So everyone talks about heading north..why head north? Colder temperatures preserve flesh. I would go south. Heat destroys rotting flesh a lot faster.

I think weaponry is of importance too. So before I would head south..I'd go loot a gun shop that actually has decent weaponry. Then a market or something..getting plenty of canned goods and such. If I am in the middle of a city I'd do the next best thing..get to higher ground. I'd probably end up blowing up the staircase that leads to a high roof and make sure there is no other way to get on the roof. Then hopefully I'd just take a sniper rifle and amuse myself.

If all is lost...hell..might as well go out with a fight..Rambo style baby...Rambo..but in a smart way.

Well knowing that I may be the only person left sane, I would A: get in my car and get to the sports store which is a mere five minutes from my house. I would then break in, steel at least two shotguns, two rifles, and four pistols and as much ammo as humanly carry able. I already have a knife so I'm good there.

B: I would again get into my car, and drive full out to the U.S. Reserves center near by, where I would shoot my way in through hoards of zombies and steel some real weapons, leaving the rest in my car. I would again get spare weapons, and lots of ammo. Sadly I don't believe there are any M1A2 Abrams tanks in the area, but I'd defiantly be able to find a Humvee, so I'd be all over that. Load up my shit in the Humvee, grab some extra gas containers, and drive on the high way as far as I could!

C: don't stop driving for 24 hours or until I run into a military training base that DOES have an M1A2 Abrams tank, which I should be able to drive provided I have the 'keys'.

D: In any case, I would stop in some distant middle-of-nowhere place and leave my vehicle locked and sealed, pray there are no Tanks near by, and sleep for a few hours.

There would be a lot of driving until I either found more survivors or reached a larger better stocked military base, possibly fort knocks. I would then find the nearest grocery store, collect a shit load of food over multiple trips, and more ammo. And hide my sorry ass in Fort-knocks. There I would signal for help every day many times, and illegally download anime and any other form of entertainment from the internet.

I may possibly board an Abrams and go on a zombie killing rampage also, since fort knocks has many, and that would give me some entertainment.

Abrams can run on just about anything, so there i'm fine. And yes i have to stand out in the oppen, but i should be able to get far enough away to be safe from imediate attack, soon as i see them i can just get inside and shoot the fuck out of them.

If i had a Humvee i'd just make sure to have lots of spare gas in the back ;3, same with the abrams, it's not like i have to share the space with any one else.

Either

A. Take some other survivors with me and scavenge. or

B. Grow my own food

growing your own food would take too long, plus you got the whole weather thing to worry about and scavenge food? I think that would be to hard since everyone is already an infected. I dont know I'd learn to eat grass lol

dontleave
04-26-2007, 02:27 PM
Scavenge food definately, frozen food is good, canned stuff... that'd probably last you decades, although different things have different expirery dates, im guessing after a couple years, you'd stop cooking the frozen meat and by a decade its canned pine apples. I know stuff rots in like months, but if your desperate then you wouldn't care, afterall I think by the 20th rotten ham samwhich you eat your gag reflexes and stomach have build up a tolerance for it.

Although 1/4 of the population is a lot, you can remake civilization like that, somewhere in like Africa, and make an amazing city with the greatest living minds, somewhere hot, but in the city very cool and chrome, with silver buildings piercing clouds, and the buzz of traffic and children playing and outside theres a desert, full of corpses of the zombies trying to get to the last remains of food, and their bodies decay outside the city walls, and flies swarm over their carcasses.

but if i had a gun and a nice strong car ill just take a truck load of food drive to the docks and strand my self in the middle of the ocean with all my buddies on a nice big ship or w/e so nothing can get to me ;)

Well either you die quickly by the hands of zombies or you starve to death, is mort flesh, or infected flesh (in the case of L4D and 28 movies) any good? I'd prefer not to starve to death, atleast go out gunning. After all not all of us are master surgeons that can chop ourselves to pieces and survive off of our limbs for months. (Stephen King story comes to mind)

04-28-2007, 05:54 AM
That made me just think too, why would you eat rotten meat? Cant remember who posted saying that they would eat rotten meat, that sh** will kill you. I would just live off canned food. F*** growing food, that would take way too long, by the time its done I would just die. I agree with runnin out and dieing knowing that I lived longer than everyone else, Sh** I'll go out killing zombies while i'm looking for food if I have too

If I was the only survivor I would probably just go out and take down as many zombies as I could with my Samurai Sword :) But if there was a group of people with me, I would try to stay alive for as long as we could. If we ran out of food I would probably get my parents Van and drive through the zombie hordes all the way to the closest grocery store. Grab as much food as possible and bring it back. Hopefully everything would go well :)

SkinnyO
04-29-2007, 11:13 AM
Two things that seem to cloud everyones mind:

1.) If you survived a zombie situation (un-like this hollow 'your 1 of 4 Immune to a virus' story) then other people will survive too.

2.) These other people will have the same ideas

What do you do when all of the local supermarkets have already been looted? Whats to say the story isnt crawling with zombies, or maybe all the zombies follow you too the supermarket. Unless they are like 28 days later and do not like the sun, so you can take leasure time shopping, then your better off being in the middle of a Nebraska corn field if you want food.

Besides, zombie out-break, I am leaving the NorthEast and going West. The south will be a waste-land, and too-far west will be worse. Go to like, Wyoming or Montana and stay in the woods forever :D

Or to Canada, because all the zombies will be like, &quot;hell no I aint going to canada, there boring up there&quot;

Okay i didnt read up more but, there is no way you can eat meat during a zombie situation. The only ways are if you:

A. find a supermarket in which the power is still running, because if meat is not kept cool it rots, and no matter how you cook rotten meat you will still get sick off that

B. If you shoot or kill an animal

C. Cannibalism :D

cbre88x
04-29-2007, 02:54 PM
Meat is a no go in that situation. All canned foods and wild vegetation only...


Think about this...it would be a lot harder for a disease like that to get to an island...particularly a smaller island, but it still has all the convenience mainlands have. The beach is a big plus...

No matter what though..I'm taking a damn crowbar..

04-29-2007, 06:30 PM
I'm going to have to go with the popular Die option.

Okay, actually thinking about it. If crazy diseased looking fucks started banging on my door and bashing through the windows I'd probably get my hockey sticks, carve them into spears with one of our knives, and then follow whatever directions came over the radio/tv/internet.

My house would be shit for a fortress though, so after a few days of laying low I'd have to hop in my car and start driving.

Right about then I'd take my dad's kickass car and drive to my grandmother's house, which isn't in a very populous or well traveled location. It's unlikely that the infection would spread there unless done so on purpose.

And that's where my ability to think ahead stops. I only know that somewhere along the line I'd die, because everyone dies sooner or later.

But in-game, with online reputations to verify teamplayers and plenty of potential players to choose from, I'll be quite happy being selective about who I play L4D with.

Lol how is &quot;go out and kick some ass&quot; a bad idea, let alone stupid. Atleast its not cowering in a corner running to the grocery store every couple days with your penis between your legs. Hell, if I was to go out I would go in a blaze of glory, and most of all save the last bullet for myself.

It's the smart people that dont get any kills. Sure half of them get the mindset to save the world, but more than half won't even contribute to that, atleast I know every headshotted zombie I bring down is helping in the long run.

Half the people that dont go out and kick asswill cower for months maybe years, then die when they slip once, the other half will actually make the difference. And even then they STILL need people like us to kick ass.

Then afterwards, when we're all dead and our names written on a huge monument in time square, the half of the half the dont kick ass will be climbing out of their shit holes noticing how easy it is to kill a zombie and should have just done that in the first place, atleast u die instead of cannabalize the unlucky soul next to you, live under a rock and eat your own shit when times get tough.

So what if you have people who depend on you? What if you're taking care of a friend or family member? What happens if your little rampage brings a massive amount of infected flesh down on some other group of survivors?
You gotta remember that anything you do will probably have effects that you could never have predicted.
As to your monument comment I have two things to say:
1. That's why you want to die? For the glory of it? I would rather die in a way that I knew would help someone.
2. Do you honestly think that people are going to spend time categorizing every person who died in the war? You have to remember that at this point any semblance of unity is gone and as such you will probably not be remembered.

So, in the case of a zombie outbreak, have fun with your blaze of destructive glory, I'll be living in the new world where I can actually make a difference.

dontleave
05-12-2007, 08:13 PM
Pfft, its not glory if people have to spend time on it. I plan on doing something people would recognize, every dead zombie helps. And when your living the new world I actually made the difference. Hate to be cynical, but I would rather shoot ANYONE holding me back, with slight exception to children. This isn't saying I'd go solo, but expecting me to care for an old person, or some paraphalegic is justo out of the question. And if zombies do go attack someone else good on them, atleast they learned their lesson not to mess with me.

But really though, if I was pretty much on my own, or in a group of at the most 10. Deaf, and blind (meaning, not hearing from anyone on the news or seeing anyone else other than said group and a bunch of zombies) my mindset would rather be &quot;Go pwn some newbs before I go&quot; rather than &quot;If I think this out I think I'll live the last couple years of my life actually well, either than or develope some Zombie War Syndrome and bef insane for the rest of my life&quot;

Worse comes to worse I do both, end up a serial killer... But the FIRST serial killer after the war w00t.

05-12-2007, 09:15 PM
So basically in your first post you condemn people for being selfish and hiding, then in your second post you say that you would kill someone to get ahead. Talk about reversing your priorities.
As for every dead zombie helping, well I'm sorry but not really. The most one person without professional training (and apparently planning to go in John Rambo as you are) could take out would probably be from 20-40 and as such not much of a difference among millions.

dontleave
05-12-2007, 09:41 PM
Its not killing someone to get ahead, its killing someone to stay at the level your supposed to be at, I wouldn't have a chance if I had to fend for someone else, most people wouldn't. And it'd be too much stress alerady. People who know that and can kill someone for that reason have a better chance of suriving. It may seem cruel but I wouldn't expect anyone to care for me if the situation was switched around. All I could ask for is a bullet in the head.

I'd kill hundreds before I go. That could buy someone half a second, or maybe days, who knows. But it DOES make a difference. And btw, I don't condemn anyone but myself. Going out in a blaze of glory doesn't deter anyone elses chance of survival, it only helps. As for driving the zombies into someone else I doubt that would happen, zombies dont run back in fear they only go where their senses take them, and if the person is between me and the zombies, then he/she really had no chance anyway.

hooray for zombies
05-12-2007, 10:58 PM
Yeah, but what happens after you die? How many zombies get attracted by the commotion and hang around? If there are surviviors in the area where you stage your shootout they're probably going to be found by the zombies more quickly because of your little escapade.
As for you killing hundreds.... I find that hard to believe, if you are using firearms you will probably find it hard to make every shot count, meaning that you could run out of ammo very quickly. If you are going hand-to-hand then it's only a matter of time before you slip up or get surrounded, Zombies aren't gonna wait for you to fight them one-on-one.
So unless you are a master of melee combat and/or a professional sharpshooter, I find your claims of hundreds rather exaggerated.

But im both, so I'll kill thousands if I want to, me and Chuck Norris will speahead the reclaimation of the world from zombies. I wont be around anyone else, so I can do it without getting them killed, I wanna kill zombies not people. Obviously they weren't going to fight one on one, thats why lawnmowers, chainswas, halbred, m249s, landmines, motor vehicles, and spatulas were invented.

Depends on my ammo, but 100 isn't that hard depending on the situation. If your on the street obviously, but if your barricaded up in a high place then, its not so hard.

I've got a couple buddies not too far from where i live (rural/suburban area like much of Wisconsin,) that are gun nuts (one of 'em has a cop for his dad.) I'd probably take my whimpy blue oldsmobile down there at the first sign of people rising from the dead and try to camp out around their houses until things settle down enough to find a better strong hold.

This is, of course, hoping that the virus isn't in the food or water supply prior to outbreak. If the food is tainted then I'd probably just find the quickest route to the afterlife. Its certainely better than starvation or undeath.

Warning: this is loong. (Sorry)

First off you'd need to take into consideration the way the virus would spread (through the air, through bodily contact/fluids, or contagions in the water)... If its airborne, there's no sense in trying to survive--your fucked. Gas masks work only for the contagion that they are designed for, so no luck there (unless I'm wrong of course). It also depends on the type of zombie; If they are the Undead kind, just run past them using a few &quot;stiff arms&quot; here and there and push them out of the way, shit walk past them if need be. If its 28 Days Later up-in-your-grill-rabid running action then its a whole other story. How smart are they? Can they learn to use weapons? What were they doing when they turned; are any in possesion of knives, bats or anything of the like (doctors/nurses still holding thier scalples, kids still holding thier baseball bats from playing in the park, police officers that can use their guns from leftover intelligence etc)? And what about the survivors? How many are there? What about the police/military forces?

Anyways, if it happened, the first thing I would do is lock my home up. I would grab a first-aid kit. Next I would search for any canned goods to put in a backpack--just a few, dont want to over burden myself... Then water, pure water I keep in the fridge (water sources from anywhere else, especially faucet water, could be contaminated). I would bring as much pure water as I could without over doing it weight-wise. I'd need plenty of hard liquor so I could make some molotov (but I wouldn't drink any; alcohol dehydrates). I'd make a weapon out of my wooden bat by quickly hammering nails through it to give it a little more umph. If the media is still broadcasting news, I would check to see if the television or radio is reporting any known hideouts or police barricades that have space for survivors. After that I would get to my grandfathers Jeep and drive straight to our local shooting range. Depending on how many other survivors had the same idea, I would check out the place on the outside cautiously. If the place is full of survivors, I would see how the situation is. I would see if I can get some weapons, or group up with them. When it came time to leave the shooting range, (granting if there were survivors) I wouldn't go with them nor have them go with me: If we all went together we would most likely slow each other down; plus, if one gets infected we are all shittin in our britches. if no one is in the shooting range I'd loot the place. They have a few m16s there (although they're made with restriction parts to stop full-auto capabilities, but they would still be nice). I'd take an m16 or two, some ammo, a handgun or two, maybe a Shotty, and load the Jeep up. If the place was crawling with infected, then I would just screw the whole idea, unless I saw a chance to get in, lock myself inside with the guns till I could make an escape to the Jeep with the weapons in toe).

I'd avoid the grocery stores, because most of them would be full with infected. Since most stores are full of people anyways, they would be hit hard by the virus, it would spread fast. Plus if they are the &quot;28 Days Later&quot; variety of zombie, I don't want food that has bloody vomit all over it... no thank you. Depending on their intelligence, the infected might still be in the store, not able to figure a way out through the pressure activated sliding doors (doubtful). Next, I would head to the police department to see what I could do there. If the place was deserted I'd see if the place was looted to hell, if not then I would loot the building and vehicles for more weapons or some ammo. If the station is barricaded, I would stop there and camp out with the police, and hope for the best. If not, then I would see how bad it is in the station: if its overrun with the infected then I might chance going inside, to see what I could loot. At the very least, maybe I could take a police vehicle (since it has the bars on the front to ram shit with). If all else fails there, then I'd leave town. Unfortunately there are no islands near me so I'm pretty screwed there.

I would drive out to the countryside and see if i could find a reasonable place to shack up... Maybe find a house in the country and kill the residents (if they're infected). After killing the inhabitants, If I had the time and resources I would wrap them up, make a clearing in the back of the house, and burn the bodies, hoping to god the smoke and smell of the burning heap blends in with the chaos created from the initial outbreak, and doesn't alert and/or attract any infected towards the house. I wouldn't want to chance possible infection through gases released from the rotting bodies as they lay in the house. If i didn't have the time or resources to burn them, I would just wrap them up, move them to a room, and leave them there with the door closed, and tuck a towel underneath the door to hopefully prevent gases from the rotting bodies seeping through cracks in the door. If I don't have the time for that then I'd at least wrap them up, if anything. I wouldn't just leave the bodies in the backyard because I wouldn't want to attract possibly infected wildlife to the house. If the home owners or survivors that took over the house before me aren't infected, then I'd be their savior so to speak... I'd do what I could to make the place a little fortress until either the whole thing blows over, or I get pinned down in the fortress and can't escape to find better refuge. If I can't find a good house to occupy before nightfall then I would just camp out in whatever vehicle I'd obtained. After camping out for awhile and depending on the situation outside, I would search for as much gas as I could from any other cars around the house (or nearby where I camped in the vehicle) and fill my vehicle with it, unless there is a better vehicle present. I wouldn't carry any extra gas in the vehicle; if something happens I don't want to freakin' blow up from hording it. I would get on the roads and keep going until I either outrun the spread of the virus, find more survivors, or die trying to get the fuck out of dodge... All in all, I'm sure I would freakin get my ass handed to me, but it would be exciting while it lasted. Of course I would do all this with my girlfriend so the &quot;freaked-out we're going to die&quot; sex would be very welcome lol.

To all the people who think they have a smart plan; it would be funny watching your plan crumble under the first infected that spot you.

You seem to think about this a lot, but it doesn't seem like you actually think about how it would be if hundreds of people were running at you trying to tear you apart. I'm sure your shaking hands with your limited bullet count would protect you.

ROFL, I lied about everything, saying I had every training possible, lived in a rural area, that I was in the great plains, and had access to the ocean And it still only gave me a 43%.

I think I answered every question as well as I possibly could. (That was my intention)
This brings me to the conclusion that 43% is about as high a percentage as possible.

ROFL. Ima try it again. Maybe now I live on an island. ;)

-----

Well, that wasn't too interesting. But I did also try to answer as poorly as possible, and got 33%. Heh.

-----

Ok, well I answered as truthfully as I... err wanted, and I got a 40% (I think it was some question about my destination for an island, but I don't even have a boat, LOL)

-----

Ok, tried yet again, and got a 57%. =P

But now I hafta go to bed. Heh.

I can't stand being alone. I would try to find as many survivers as i can and go with them. End the end...only one would live probably though.

&quot;Are you the only person here? Have you seen anyone eles?&quot; The helicopter pilot asks.

&quot;No, I had 8 other people back there...Im the only one left...&quot; The surviver says.

That would be an interesting ending or...

The surviver hops on but then...a tanker comes out of no where and jumps on the helicopter and the helicopter explodes.

Maximum amount of ammo you're going to have in a clip is what, 30 rounds? And that's if you have an assault rifle, which most people don't have access to. So maximum is what, 10 infected per clip? If you hit all your shots. There is going to be more than 10 rushing you gl!

I think that people really think it out and think they have every thing planned out, but people wont know what to really do till it happens. The fear will get to you believe it or not. When you see loved ones beat and torn apart by infected you will freeze and forget everything you prepared yourself to do. I would be to busy protecting my loved ones, especially my girlfriend and family. I would die for them than be alive and know that they died horribly and turned into them. Just the thought of them get torn apart like that is too much.Just really think about it, would you stand strong enough to stay alive if mostly everybody have turned and are hell bent on killing you once they see you? I know I would, thats if I know that everyone I ever cared for died. Then I would not care and have no fear anymore........ but I wont know till it happens.

Get on any rooftop and you're already safe. If you need supplies, go get them, but if the infected come after you, jump onto the roof freerunning style. If you're strong and can mess with electrical stuff you can bring a refigerator on the roof. It'll be easier to leave it where it is though and come down when it's safe to get to it. The key to this strategy is the basic freerunning move of running up a wall. yes, it is possible to run up a short distance, and this will propel you higher than a normal jump. As long as you can do this move, you can get on house rooftops. If you're a professional at this stuff, you can climb neon signs, etc and get on the rooftops of stores too.

If the infected try to climb up to you, you should use the shovel or other melee weapon that you have (always have a melee weapon just in case) to knock them down. They'll start all over climbing up again, then you use barely any energy as they tire out. They're still human, so with you using barely any energy you can just kick em off forever. With that refigerator on the roof, you could have lunch and kick em off at the same time :D

As for dealing with the emotional pain and losing loved ones, it helps to start out partially insane in the first place. Also, imagine the emotional stuff when you play a zombie game to practice dealing with it.

why not viable throughout? You're suppose to bring your supplies up there and keep them there. So, you should have enough for a full month on the rooftop. Just run through buildings and stores ransacking them for stuff and bring a ton of stuff onto the roof. The refigerator probably wouldn't work, but there's plenty of food that won't go bad right away.

What is your strategy? A serious one I mean.
Mine was serious except for the refigerator on the roof.

Three words: Zombie Survival Guide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_Survival_Guide)

Depending on whether it's longterm or short term:

Short term: barricade myself in the nearby grocery warehouse. No windows on the ground floor, lots of heavy stuff to barricade doors with. Plenty of food, room to sustain many people, and plenty of fallback spots in the event that zombies made it into the building (the racks holding pallets are from 20-30 feet high). Block off the doors with stacks of pallets and equipment, live off the food, starting with parishable items and saving canned goods for later. (yes, I have entirely too much time on my hands at work, and have thought about that scenario ;))

Long Term: Grab a vehicle and head north to an isolated community in the arctic. Motorcycle is the best bet to start when getting away from urban areas, as you can expect most roads to be blocked by abandoned cars.

05-25-2007, 07:10 PM
Good thing im already stocking up weapons right now, heheh, but anyway here's what id do:

after i would have heard the report on the news, it would take a while to accept that zombies have finaly come to cause the apocholips.

anyway, id find any spare wood in the house, good sterdy wood would cover the door, then id cover the windows with thick blankets and wood, so they dont see the lights being on or dive in.

seeing as i have a few weapons at hand, i assort a few things into a belt for ammunition carrying, id find any blunt objects in the area and grab a few shart objects for slicing.

Dusk of the first Night: i made my way up onto the roof, no sign of zombies in the area, i went looking around for supplies near the surface, found a good blockadeable objects, went home and turned off all lights.

I turn the television on for any other important news, damn, they must have reached the tv station. About 30 seconds later, i hear hard footsteps outside, followed by shrieking, screaming, and then silence.

i opened the window juuuust a bit to see wtf was going on outside(zombies, duh), sure enough, 3 rabie infested humans had chased down a girl and were ripping her apart, one of them looked my direction and i emediatly closed the window, the one that looked my way saw me but wasnt sure what it was, he walked over to the window, stood idle for a second, just then a few humans came bursting down the street, guns blazing, they shot off the zombies and peeked around my house, i opened the door, arms in the air to show i wasnt infected, they explained what was happening, but i already knew how it was all gona end, but i might as well do somthing.

i grabbed a few supplies for the trip down to hell, we left the house, and then the door at the strip club down the street swings open, a few men and wemon come screaming out, followed by a dozen shrieking zombies, we were about to help the poor humans, then this huge giant comes crashing through the streets around the building they were at.

I thought &quot;oh hell no, this is so damn typical&quot;, and watched as the slaughterfest went down. 2 seconds later, i remembered that i had fashioned a few ingrediants at home to make a custom made plastic explosive. I lit the fuse at the top and waited a few seconds, tossed it at the giant and watched the fireworks.

The sound was incredably loud and half a minute later, hundreds of zombies came pooring down the streets, &quot;OH SHIIIIT!&quot; i thought, didnt take half a second for me to bolt in the other direction. Luckely we hadnt ran far from the house, we dived in and hoped to god they didnt see us bunk in. Luckely, fate had a good side for me, and the zombies came flushing down the street past us into a different neighborhood.

il write a little more when i can think of more.

but really, chances of surviving a zombie attack on a city with millions of people is very unlikely, plus if uv seen any 24th century zombie movies, the usa army is always over-run by the zombies, and they have hundreds of tanks, jets, and troops(all with very good guns), if the army didnt survive, what makes you think you can?

Continued Story.

Night time, 3:54 AM: Still alive...zombies appear to have taken off...dunno about that giant....we have decided to run over to the Uncle Sam's bunker a couple of blocks away...we dont know if the place is safe but we do know that the place has 12 fucking isles of guns and ammunition, additional swords for melee tactics and sniper rifles for when we bunk somewhere out of town.

I head onto the roof once more, no zombies in site, not sure if there are any of those...things...down there but wel have to risk that, food is running low and this house cant support us forever.

We made our way outside, no sign of zombies, we made our way down a couple blocks, suddenly i saw a dark blur bolt from one roof top to the other, that instantly froze me in my tracks, i asked if any of them saw it, they said no, i ignored it but i never forgot about it.

We came within view of the bunker, we saw shadows lingering in the windows, no doubt, zombies, as we came to the door, i looked inside and a few figures dashed behind some of the camoflauge hanger isles, i told the others that we might have a fight on our hands, so we crept inside, guns pointed, suddenly a bunch of figures with, what it would appear to be, laser sights, popped out of the isles, i knew those were guns so i flipped on the lights and put my hands in the air.

To our suprise, a few of the store clerks and some civilians were hiding in the store.
&quot;No, quickly, turn that light off!&quot; one of them said in a loud, yet, hushed voice. i turned the lights off and we quickly looked out the windows, no zombies in sight, but i did see the same blurry figure sitting on a rooftop, staring straight at me, i nearly became ragdolled at the sight of the red eyed figure and told the others to quickly look at that rooftop, but the figure had gone.

hold on a sec, lemme turn the lights on, im getting creeped out..

Anyway, we introduced ourselvs and we each shared our side of the story and how we got here. &quot;What should we do about this whole infestation on the world?&quot; I said, &quot;For now we can only fend off those hordes, at least, take some of those bastards down with us.&quot; A civilian said, &quot;Not a very sensable plan, but the most we can do is wait for any helicopters to drop in.&quot; I replied.

A moment later, i found myself admiring the many guns in the store, i chose a Desert Eagle, a 50 Cal. Rifle, A sword that was around 35 pounds, yet, dull. One of the clerks handed be a sharpening tool and i was already improving the sword. As the others took their pick of guns, i looked out the window to see if that figure was anywhere near, no sign of him, but a few zombies had made their way around our general area. I quickly warned the others and we got into position for any on-comming thralls with those monsters.

Dawn of the first Day, 7:00 AM: We were quietly descussing how our lives were turned around by this international tragety, a few civilains had found their way to our hide-out and had already made their choices of guns and melee weapons, etc., we put a few camoflauge quilts blocking the windows so no zombies would peek in unsespectingly, Meanwhile i told the others about the figure i had seen before and after we got here, they took a particular interest in what i had seen, as they had encountered the same being before meeting me at my home, which is now a useless fort.

I went looking around the store, making second decisions on my arsenal and resupplying my belt with flourishing numbers of ammunitions and shining daggers. i took a peek outside the window, and in clear broad daylight, i saw the figure yet again, but this time i was able to see it in the light. I shouted the others over here emediatly and we all glimpsed at the horrific figure. Its body was covered with blood and gore, it wore a hellish smile apon its face, its bloodred eyes....too evil to describe...the others nearly went into panic over the being but quickly calmed down. I found a hole in the wall where i could take sniper view at the beast. I took aim and fired, a few inches away from the bullet, the beast dodged the bullet with incredable speed.

I was in awe over how it so effectly dodged. A moment later it turned around, looked back at me, then took off into a different neighborhood.

Gonna have to stop again, another mental block >X \

Don't kid yourselves. Barricading in this setting is futile, you only postpone the inevitable. The &quot;goal&quot; of this scenario is to run.. run and fight for your life.

Given the basis of Left 4 Dead, you aren't able to stay in any one place for any meaningful length of time. Your only reprive from the waves of infected are safehouses, which serve to replenish your supplies and restore your health (rest/sleep). These safehouses don't stay that way forever, though, and neither will any other location you end up in. Between the unending sea of infected hordes, volatile explosive Boomers, assassin and hunter-esque Smokers and Hunters and the end-all, earth shattering Tank, you don't stand much of a chance remaining in their area.

Now, me personally, if the situation were more like Dawn of the Dead or even 28 Days Later, you'd see me making a bee-line for the nearest museum with functional medievil armor. 100% full-body plated armor, to be more precise, and a sturdy, functional blade, preferably a katana as most medievil English warblades were more heavy and unable to use effectively in smaller spaces. Between these two forms of self-defense, I'd cover my ass from most attacks, and then I would be free to scavenge for food after dealing with whatever hordes attempt to stop me. Undead or Infected, they're still human nonetheless, and without effective weapons, their teeth and claws can't hope to penetrate steel, let alone while they are being dismembered and eviscerated. After that, it's off to the nearest water tower.. you know what I mean, the big oval structures suspended high over most smaller cities (has the city name and most likely football team logo/name). Perfect vantage point for any signs of reprieve from the disaster, as well as an iron-clad defense from attacks. Nothing could get up that ladder without me wanting them to.

Left 4 Dead is a completely different beast. Both the armor and water tower are void due to the presence of Tanks (however few there may be). For that, it's down to three blades: long, possibly a nodachi to cut a massive swath through zombie hordes, your basic katana for close combat against few targets and a survival knife, in case of Smokers or a tumble with a Hunter. Assuming my goal at the end of each day (game run) provides me with food and ample shelter for rest, my only stops between are for whatever means are necessary to achieve my end goal of escape, or provide me with additional forms of protection or energy. Knocking off a drug store and grabbing medication to aid with sleeping (or induce comatose in the inevitable &quot;death or death&quot; scenario), energy suplements/meal replacements to keep fit and fed for the fight and medical supplies to refill a carried pack of first aid supplies (LOTS of pain killers, rubbing (to clean wounds) and drinking alcohol (to dull pain, ease inhibitions to self-surgery), bandages, needle&thread, syringes/liquid pain killers, scalpuls/scissors/hacksaw/ tourniquet and piece of wood for biting (to remove/repair damaged locations of the body)).

My goal is not to take down every infected I see. Given the total population of the world, and even just of the current area, each kill, while monetarily satisfying, is without merit or reward in the long run. If I am able to escape and evade them well enough, they can't come back to haunt me later anyway. Rather, my goal is to make it to the end, and possibly rescue those along the way. As for guns and ammo, between my own blades I should be able to handle mosts threats aside from Tanks and Boomers, which I will leave to my comrades while defending them from the lesser threats and lesser of the bosses.

Also, I'd me more of a medic in a team situation, and while I'm not bandaging my companions, I'd be the one without my flashlight on, moving as quietly as possible. If you read up on Gamespy's account of playing as Infected, you can't -always- see the humans through walls, and if they want, they can be just as difficult to track as Hunters. (moving slowly and without your light on, as well as not firing bullets will serve to keep your character concealed from bosses' x-ray vision)

Mid-Day, 3:27 PM: It is the middle of day time, strangely, we have not seen any zombies, only the occasional beast popping by once in a while to just stare at us. It was about the 6th time that i got sick of watching the thing stare at us then bucker off. I walked outside, almost having forgotten about the zombies, which was what the thing wanted most, to catch me off guard, i would like to tell you that when the zombies caught me by suprise, i went neo on them and did the whole duel wield UZI kinda thing, sadly, that's not what happened.

Zombies were pooring down the streets and had rushed past me into the bunker, suddenly the beast jumped down and tried to grab me, after years of gaming i never thought i would ever do this, i ducked and jabbed the tip of the rifle in his gut and fired. The beast fell to the ground and peacefuly left this world, i heard gunshots from inside the store and saw a pile of bodies in front of the door, behind me a dozen zombies rushed after me and tried to bring me down, i runned torward the entrance and dived in before the pile completly blocked the way in. &quot;Are you nuts, kid?!?&quot; one civilian said, &quot;You could have been killed!&quot; another said, they were complaining and bitching for a while, 5 minutes later the noise outside had stopped.

I checked outside the window and most of the zombies had lost interest with trying to get inside and took after a van that had sped down the street. &quot;Were safe...for the moment&quot; I said. Suddenly there were banging noises from the room in the back and the sound of windows breaking. a few of the civilians rushed to see what was going on, gunshots were heard and the civilains came bursting out of the room followed by dozens of zombies. We quickly opened fire on the flood of zombies that were rushing through the door.

A moment later, the giant from last night had burst through the roof of the bunker and swatted most of the civilians away. I still had a grenade from an isle i found near the corner of the isles and threw it into the mouth of the giant as it opened its mouth for a huge roar. The giant swollowed the grenade and its stomach exploded, the walls covered with blood and guts, the giant fell back and left this world all the same.

We blew our way to the door that wasnt secured, due to a lazy civilian, we quickly shut it and barracaded it with wood and tables. After such an onslaught, only 5 of us remained, me, a biker, a store clerk, an old man, and a girl. We decided that it was time to get the hell out of here. We found a few bags in an isle and loaded them with supplies, guns, ammunition, medical kits, grenades, etc etc... We bursted out the front door, to our suprise, no zombies in site...for now.

We made our way through town and mowed down zombies as we went along, finaly we had reached the edge of the city, not knowing if the rest of the world was attacked or not...salvation looks dim but we continued forward. Apon the outskirts of the city, we fought many zombies and came across one with a different ability, it was when we were searching a shop for food and supplies that we came across this fat ass zombie(boomer) and it chased us out, going at a slow pace, we easily got to a safe distance, the girl shot it in the stomach and the zombie splattered everywhere.

We found a military campsite which had plenty of army men....which were infected. We did not fair too well, the store clerk perished as we were searching on the radio channels to contact a helicopter for emediate rescue. At that time, dozens apon dozens of zombies charging through the fields of the land. I picked off a few zombies with my rifle and made myself comfy with this stationed mini-gun i found. I enjoyed the gun as i watched zombies getting torn apart from the intense blast rate of the bullets.

We heard a copter nearing our position and knew that we were gona make it. Sadly, the stationed gun malfuncioned for some reason and we had to defend with only our standard weaponry. This different new zombie infected(smoker) lunged it toung at the old man's throat and dragged him into the horde, the biker was about to be dragged in, had it not been for my rifle. I picked off the zombie that was dragging him in, sadly, a few zombies piled him and he was overtaken by zombies, the helicopter swooped in at great speed and dropped the ladder, i jumped and grabbed onto the ladder, the girl jumped but missed, i watched as she fell to the ground and met her death at the hands of the horde, i looked back at the battered bodies of the people that had helped me through this and then at the city.

Some say the U.S. Airforce nuked the entire city and almost every infected human was vaporized along with the buildings, the rest were shot down by the military forces.

The problem is, any zombie survival guides (including the book) would be useless, since they are meant to protect you from slow-moving corpses that can be dispatched with only a blow to the head.

If L4D were a reality, things would be better in some ways, and worse in many others. There would be no need for a headshot, so I would probably carry a light sub-machine gun that used the same ammo as my secondary weapon- A pistol; that way I could carry a lot of it. As for melee, a metal baseball bat would have to do until I found some sort of sword or axe. If I had the supplies I would put together a molotov or two, or maybe even a pipe bomb (but that would be quite a bit harder).I would head towards the countryside, killing any infected that got in my way. Hopefully, I would find other survivors.

Of course, that's all just fiction. In reality, I would just hide in my house with a baseball bat until the infected broke in and killed me. :(

haha, but if the infected were just people, couldnt you do martial arts against them? or beat the shit out of them instead?

i would just go to my dads police station (he knows how to fly a heli) and get in the helicopter, then we would fly to safety.

simple as that

Actually the advice they give probably wouldnt be much use against the infected!
More use against your classic zombie really. Still pretty funny though.

Personally, i would barracde my house, and wait for L4D to be released, fight my way to a shop, buy it, unless everybody is dead then just take it, go home, install, play and learn how to take down zombies, go out side, and save the world!!

I would find a building that can be barricaded with a good roof, and lead an army to it, where we would snipe zommbies n' stuff.

whos gonna make it if theyre dead and im sure theyd have more important things on mind wait nvm what am i saying games come first but who you play with

Left 4 Dead is what the remaining military will use for new Virtual training, and when we get safe zones they'll let kids play since J.Thompson got shot because people mistakenly took him for a zombie when in fact he was just a rambling idiot.

I'd probably shoot myself, if I could even do that without dying... I figure I won't have a hope in hell anyway. Although I do have an optimistic nature, I believe shit happens to me but its not the shittiest thing that could happen. That being said I dont know if it means I'll die, or I'll get mauled to death, turn into a zombie, survivors try to kill me but run out of bullets so they smash my face to pieces with steel-toes.

The only way I'd try is if close family is alive, there's a hot girl, and maybe someone else to for my awesome party of Survivors... That someone else being someone smart and collected so he/she can instruct us on what to do... Because if an outbreak happened like in L4D... I wouldn't have the sense to use radio and call for back up and run 5 miles to a hospital and get to a roof without dying... I'll probably open the door and get puked on and ass raped by zombies

First post in this thread by someone currently active on the forum (from a quick scan), is Kash:

I wont have any idea what to do cuz the best weapon i have is a wooden sword.. i guess ill just go to the top floor of my house and totally just barricade every thing and put as many stop possible on the steps and my door and when ever i need food i guess who ever is with me will just have to draw straws..
but if i had a gun and a nice strong car ill just take a truck load of food drive to the docks and strand my self in the middle of the ocean with all my buddies on a nice big ship or w/e so nothing can get to me ;)

Also, notice how much bullshit they filled us up that led to the mild disappointment of the Left 4 Dead reality:


But in-game, with online reputations to verify teamplayers and plenty of potential players to choose from, I'll be quite happy being selective about who I play L4D with.

IMO, that's the best feature. And the best aspect would be the pioneeringly extensive Co-op.
