Thought I´d let you know.

[Kjeldoran]

Thanks, cant wait to try this !

[hooray for zombies]

you never played zombie panic mod for half life 1?! :O its so fun!

[hooray for zombies]

before my time, before my time

[Jim_Riley]

:O that's great news! I'm definitely going to play it till L4D comes :D

Any link to the website?

[gorgoth]

YES! FINALLY! YES! YES! YES! GOING TO BE GREAT TO PLAY TILL L4D!!! EVERYONE GET IT!

[dontleave]

W00t. Hopefully when I get in there someone wont' tell me the mod sucks and leaves... Like with ZP

[Armored_Zombie_Cow]

umm whats it like? is it like the zombie mod in CSS?

[Kenny]

Information is on their page.. but one person starts off as a zombie, and he tries to kill a survivor. If he does, that survivor turns into a zombie and so on and so forth. Survivors have to find weapons to defend themselves and preferably a decent place to bar up.

[dontleave]

Yeah... essentially.

[gorgoth]

Yes, except it will be amazing and great. And it will hopefully feel more completed and polished than the CS:S mods.

[Puscifer]

wow i just looked at there site, it looks pretty good gonna chek it out:)

[Dead Fish]

The models and maps from their media section look great! Very stylish. I'm so going to play this. :P

i thought the models/skins look really cool too, just what we all need for the wait;P

[Puscifer]

Someone posted a comment on a Zombie Panic teaser vid on youtube saying left 4 deads gonna be released March 11th 2008.

No idea where they got that idea from but i sent them a message asking where they heard it:S

[dontleave]

Link to website?

[Florian88]

me loves ZP1 long time..
ZP:S is gonna be awesome.

really ppl go try it when its out its gonna be heck alot of fun

[dontleave]

I'm excited.

[darksora2323]

so is this for hl2 or what

[dontleave]

Nope.

[USS_Stud]

Nope.
rofl

[Florian88]

It's a mod for HL2 yes..

[hooray for zombies]

Heh, if you look at the 'kabar' (knife) model, it has 'John' inscribed on it. funny little thing

[hool10]

Oh wow! I'm starving for a good zombie mod and now this comes. Yeah, I played this a little too late in the hype. A couple of months after Steam came out I tried it. It wasn't fun for me because there were empty servers or ones filled with bots. I didn't know what to do obviously and gave up. This is like the zombie CS:S mod only that it was the original. A funny movie that you can see is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQe4lnaFSzA I'm installing it now on HL and playing it. It's got that vintage feeling you know? *Don't install it. One server is up and it's terrible.

[ShadowSlayer7]

HEH HEH, theres a molotov cocktail and a pipe bomb. XD

I think im gonna buy half life 2 right now!!!!

Should I?

[dontleave]

Should I?

Nope.

[MonsterR89]

This mod actually looks pretty good compared to what is offered now, i've recently tried out zombie master and thats pretty crappy. But when you need a zombie survival game somethings better than nothing.

[dontleave]

IMO, if they made this MORE like Zombie Mod for CS:S it'd be more fun. Lower health, but VERY speedy. Instead of slow juggernauts, I tried ZP for HL and it sucked... mainly it seemed it was the limitation in tech, so hopefully the transition to Source alone will make it a lot better.

If anything I hope there are 'Fast Zombies with low health" servers.

[Eddy_of_the_dead]

nice mod dudes PLAY IT!!!

You obviously dont know what this game is about.
This game has alot of nerve.. no offense mate, but you keep rambling about fast zombies being the best.
The zombies in ZP are only about 5-10% slower than the survivors and their HP is even lower than that from Zombie Mod, where u actually have to shoot 40 times in the head before it dies.
I have to say i enjoyed both of the mods for a long time.

Anyway, hope to see you guys in the mod. =D

[hool10]

I think im gonna buy half life 2 right now!!!!

Should I?
No, you should not. I can give you the game for free though! :D I was looking for a person to drop off my free copy of HL2 and now I found somebody. Really fun game anyways. Hit me up on steam as hool10.

[Gforcemember45]

NO give it to me, please?

[hool10]

Well then if it's that way then let's do a little game. ;-) If anybody wants my HL2, then you can play. :-p Pick a number between 1-10 and the person that gets closest near the number I thought of, wins.

[krunsh]

12


- I love zombie master (but its so easy to get in a bad game the first time you play it and never play it again), I can't wait to try this one.

[Florian88]

why wouldnt you give it to your real life friends instead lol

[dontleave]

How would I not know what im talking about? I played the fucking game moron.

Frankly, the only way to win is if you 'herde' the last survivor with superior numbers. Otherwise he just drops all his shit and bunnyhops around with a crowbar. They are, AFAIK 20% slower, or atleast will be in ZP:S. Obviously you don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about... Considering there are many types of Zombie mods, and I was obviously talking about the one with LESS FUCKING HEALTH. I'm gradually coming to the conclusion that you thought I was speaking of Zombie Master, in which case, you're a dumbass.

This game has alot of nerve.. no offense mate, but you keep rambling about fast zombies being the best.

I keep rambling? You're the one that posted a completely non sense reply to mine. I said less than half a line, of how IN MY OPINION, they would be BETTER.

OPINION, BETTER. =/= RAMBLE, BEST

In fact: I never even said better, I said more fun...

[Florian88]

Take a deep breath... and breath out... breath in... and breath out.
Now re-read what i said before. It wasn't that bad was it?

NOW DO YOUR HOMEWORK!

[Gforcemember45]

the number 8.

[asu]

#14 for me :)

No, but it was fucking retarded, and maybe you should re-read before you spew shit out of your mouth.

[Dead Fish]

Number 18, CLEARLY! :P

So much melee... --> fun times

[MonsterR89]

I would have to say either #3 because its pretty uncommon or its complete opposite #16 the most classical zombie basher.

[hooray for zombies]

number two is just to cool for words, that would so be my weapon in the zombocalypse

[Puscifer]

[gorgoth]

28'th cannot come fast enough.




Oh, and #19 or #15

[Etheallmighty]

umber two is just to cool for words, that would so be my weapon in the zombocalypse


yeah man #2 is just awesome.....maybe 5 too...

[Eddy_of_the_dead]

#18,#14 and the badest of them all #12!!! smash some zombie skull whit a pot is greaat!!

[Plankie]

where u actually have to shoot 40 times in the head before it dies.

40 times? Come on, more than that.
That CSS mod is so lame. Everybody camps, so they give the zombies like a million HP so that they'll have a chance. But for some reason, they decide to make all weapons have nearly unlimited ammo and never need to reload. If they would make the players actually try and find ammo they'd have less camping and it would be so much more fun, but no.

Yeah..................................






You both play on the wrong servers.

[Rannos]

Yeah......[unnecessary amount]....





CSS zombie mod is little more than tag on drugs. And not in a good way.

Oh and I'm more of a #4 person. Though #2 does look pretty wicked.

[Psyche]

YOU ASSHOLES HAVE ONLY BEEN WAITING FOR A COUPLE DAYS, I have been waiting 6 months D:

[Asura]

OH MY GOD!!!
i have been waiting for this!

[Rannos]

YOU ASSHOLES HAVE ONLY BEEN WAITING FOR A COUPLE DAYS, I have been waiting 6 months D:
No, I've heard of this for a while now. I can remember back to when I thought it was dead.

[Florian88]

You both play on the wrong servers.

I played on the Mint server and another populair server. But Mint is the #1 server there and i had fun times there. Thinking of going there till this mod gets launched.

But mate, if you dont like discussing this and rather call me retarded, a dumbas or a moron. That's okay by me mate no harm done.

[USS_Stud]

I have been waiting 6 months D:
Lmao 6 months? Man, you got like... -1.9 years on me.

[Eddy_of_the_dead]

good i like chalanges..... :D

[MrToodles]

I use to play Zombie Panic a lot, twas fun, ammo was harder to get though.

[Skeetles]

People would always take the ammo for the gun I had and not give it to me hoping I would drop the gun, but I wouldn't drop the gun hoping they would give me the ammo. Then we would die.

[Stupoider]

What you should have done was juggle the items between eachother really fast.

Then when your both feeling the beat, you stop and run away with his ammo and your gun.

[gorgoth]

This cannot come soon enough.

[QuotidianTemerity]

This cannot come soon enough.

[PoisonousPizza]

Must we buy it off steam?

[Skeetles]

if by buy you mean download and by steam you mean the internet then yes.

I have an idea on how to pass the time,we steal the cryostasis technology that the goverment has in one of its armed bases, then we spend the next two days frozen like a block of ice. For us only a second will have gone by, its the perfect plan.

I believe many of the former members already did that in attempt to pass the time until Left 4 Dead comes out. Thus, the Government is already our of cryostasis chambers.

[Teknobry]

I'd laugh if this mod ended up being really boring and you lot were all gutted :p

[Gforcemember45]

nah most of the guys who tried this already are probabaly dead. The stakes are high with technology like, so its take no prisoners.

[dontleave]

I'd laugh if this mod ended up being really boring and you lot were all gutted :p

I don't think anyone expects it to be "OMG WTF AWESOME" just as something to do. I didn't like ZP for HL1, I hope this is much better.

[Rannos]

Meh, its gotta be better the CSS Zombie mod or Zombie Master.

[globalenjoi]

Meh, its gotta be better the CSS Zombie mod or Zombie Master.


Zombie Master has its moments of awesome-ness. Not many, but it has them. (The edge-of-your-seat feeling you get from entering the laser trap in zm_redqueen is a good example, because you know that evil fucking ZM is waiting on you to do it, and you don't know if the laser will go low, middle or high, or all, but you've gotta move because there is about 40 shamblers right behind you)

[dontleave]

I disagree, ZM is not only a bug fest, it's an idiot fest. They both add to overall not-atmospheric sense of the game.

Zombie Mod however, is just a multiplayer good 'ol time.

[Eddy_of_the_dead]

Zombie Mod however, is just a multiplayer good 'ol time.
indeed i could play it for ages....
aaah the good 'ol times.....

[Puscifer]

i thought ZM was ok when i used to play it, collecting the parts for the truck was pretty cool:)

[Eddy_of_the_dead]

yeah butt....only if ya have realy realy good ZM its fun dude

[Puscifer]

what source games do u need for ZP? i have the HL2 series and css so i should be ok ye?

[hool10]

Yeah you should be ok. That teaser movie showed off some boring gameplay. In fact I think slow zombies are the only real enemies in the game. You can't shoot at them normally. It's like ZM in which you must run up to its face and shoot it. I could be wrong however. I hope.

[Evilferret]

Must..resist...using...time matchine! Oh what the heck. It's only a day away! Nothing can go rong can it? *Opens a portal which makes ZP realality.* Oh...

[gorgoth]

1. Day.

[dontleave]

i thought ZM was ok when i used to play it, collecting the parts for the truck was pretty cool:)

Yeah, Im not even sure if ANY of the good maps are actually done by the team. Many of them, you should know, are custom.

[Eddy_of_the_dead]

indeed ofcourse blue velvet IS THE BEST FREAKING MAP EVER on Zombie Master :D

[Eddy_of_the_dead]

and......zaterday like late afternoon ALL PARTY on 1 server!!! i wanna beat all of your asses!

[Gforcemember45]

yeah we should get most of the guys together and beat the crap out of each other just for the hell of it. I'll either find a server that'll hold most of us and give you guys the name.

[dontleave]

3 Hours until it might be out.

[Evilferret]

Dude! It should be out by now! It's the 28th! Oh come on! Im so mad now! JK! im just bored. Ok im off to bed good night! Hope its out in the morning! Tell me if its good or sucky...

[caboos]

well on the site they said they would release at a reasonable time AKA NOT 12:00 AM

[dontleave]

Lol @ ZP:S website getting spammed with release topics. I'm surprised so many people don't understand the concept of time zones, but realizing it's the ZP player base I guess im not THAT surprised.

That said, anyone planning to host a server? If not I hope there are bots. I just don't want my first, or frankly any of my games with those retards who play ZP for HL1.

[Puscifer]

where is it? gimme gimme:)

[ArsenaI]

tbh wasnt that hyped about this game untill i saw the double barrel shotgun in the animation section :D

hope thats still in the game

[gorgoth]

IT NEEDS TO BE OUT IT'S LIKE 11:37!? IS IT OUT ZOMG I GOT TO GO FIND OUT AHHHHHHH!

Edit: It isn't out.

[hool10]

I'm hearing it's in the "afternoon" according to the guy in Arkansas. So his definition of afternoon can be anything. People are putting bets on 3PM EST though.

[gorgoth]

I heard the same. 3:30 O'clock Arkansas time. So what time is that, I'll find out!

[gorgoth]

Pacific Time: About 3:30
Mountain Time: About 4:30

[TheStrife]

I sure am glad I didn't vote for this..

[Stupoider]

My internet is being lame, estimated time of around 17hours to download the mod..

Is it worth it? Better or worse than Zombie Master?

[Dead Fish]

Better or worse than Zombie Master?

It's different from Zombie Master. There are no objectives. It's more like a slow, sloooow... Team Deathmatch with a twist.

[Rannos]

206 KB/s damn you wireless! If I were at campus I'd be going much faster >.<

[PoisonousPizza]

This mod made me depressed. I'm sticking with Zombie Master for now.

[Shrubberyjsc]

Well, ok.

I think that what made me hate it so much was the lag.

Find a server that has no more than 15 people, and is lag free.

Without the game-breaking lag... It's... OK.

[Asura]

Oh and people, there will be objects after more maps are done.
Like humand must get to point A to point B with closing door and opening doors and barricades.

[Eddy_of_the_dead]

the horrid lag ....... terible they realy need to fix that somehow!!
but overal its rather good....
it wil be better if they fix the lag ad more survivior skin and zombie skin to it...

[Bucky]

My friend and I set a server that is up most of the time, it has no lag and is usually full, he is uping the slots to 14 to 16 today to see if it lags anymore. Server is called 44GRAVE

[Kenny]

I think this mod is grand. If I were to rate it, I would give it an 8 out of 10. It's easy to tell a lot of effort went into this mod. Most of the models look good (with the exception of the hand and arm models). The sounds (for the zombies especially) are amazing. The gameplay is GREAT. It forces teamwork, which I greatly appreciate. Sure.. you could be a lone Rambo with 5 different guns, but in the end you are screwed. You won't even walk faster than the zombies. I love how teamwork shines here, especially if your team has a leadership personality in its midst. I've seen just a group of three or four zombies down a team of double that size in one room just with teamwork.

The only thing I have a problem with right now are the animations, the lack of decent hitboxes, and weapon balance. There are no headshots in this release, unlike it's counter-part ZP for HL1. As for the animations, they still have those weird &quot;stick figure&quot; bugs where the survivors just float around, and the weird bug where the players can &quot;shoot out of their backs&quot; because the animations are not displayed correctly. The guns are all pretty decent if you have enough ammo (yes, I'm including the glock17.. one mag does about 180 damage if you hit all shots). As of right now there seems to be little difference, if any, between the different shotgun types. The MP5 uses rifle ammo (???), and the AK-47 is just.. stupid, to be honest. It fires oddly fast, has no reload, and does absurd damage.

As for the lag? Well, to be completely honest I have no idea what you guys are talking about. I played on a FULL server of about 20 or more people.. I had around 20 ping the entire time. Squerl and Gorgoth were playing with me - their ping was about the same as mine, if not lower. So lag... what lag? I have yet to encounter any on the servers I play.

Basically, what this game comes down to is do you like playing a game that takes time to play? If you do, it's fun. If you liked the first ZP, it's fun. But this game is not nearly as bad as it could have been, and is most certainly not as bad as you guys are saying. Play to have fun, not to win, and you will enjoy it.

Remember, don't get pissed just because you disagree with me please, this just is my opinion. :)

[QuotidianTemerity]

I think this mod is grand. If I were to rate it, I would give it an 8 out of 10. It's easy to tell a lot of effort went into this mod.

I agree. While it has its fair share of issues, this mod has great potential.

Most of the models look good (with the exception of the hand and arm models).

The human arms are dreadful, yes, but the zombie arms are fantastic, and are very nicely shaded.



I think the biggest issue with the entire mod is the subpar quality of the maps. I understand that all of the maps have been created by talented individuals during whatever time they might have had available, who might not be able to dedicate the resources required to truly bring life to their artistic vision - but some of the maps are inexcusable. The brushwork is rather poor, and so is the texturing. Some are balanced, others are extremely one-sided. I'm not saying I could do better, but I know several mappers whose work is superior in many ways (as a matter of fact, I'm doing my best to coerce one of them into making one for ZP:S!).

Seeing as the &quot;biggest issue&quot; is pretty much a visual one, there's very little else to say. What with the next patch (re)introducing headshots, I'm hoping that the Carrier receives a buff, so as to make it easier to amass a horde of zombies.

i didnt enjoy it, The humans looking like floating jesus took me out of teh game play, Headshots didnt seem to do much, i shot one zombie twice in the head with the shotgun and it didnt bring them down.

The movement seems so slow.

overall id call it a free version of LOTD:rtfg

The human arms are dreadful, yes, but the zombie arms are fantastic, and are very nicely shaded.

Ooh! Yes I forgot to mention the zombie arms! All.. slimy and bloody looking. Fantastic! :D

And with the maps.. good god some of them are indeed terrible. Whoever had the idea to put in those armory maps needs to be shot.

Also: *Stares at silverx2* .. Hehe, all of your complaints were addressed already. :)

Edit: Seeing as the &quot;biggest issue&quot; is pretty much a visual one, there's very little else to say. What with the next patch (re)introducing headshots, I'm hoping that the Carrier receives a buff, so as to make it easier to amass a horde of zombies.

Yeah, I was talking in a server about maybe having the Carrier have some sort of leadership aura, where maybe guys do an extra 10% damage, or have an extra amount of health or something.. or even a slightly increased regen rate. He should be able to give &quot;zombie calls&quot; or something so the rest of the zombies know where he is. It is sort of upsetting, because if you look in the sounds folder for ZP:S he already has them.. I guess they just chose not to implement them yet.

[silverx2]

i didnt get a chance to address them personally;)

As for the lag? Well, to be completely honest I have no idea what you guys are talking about. I played on a FULL server of about 20 or more people.. I had around 20 ping the entire time. Squerl and Gorgoth were playing with me - their ping was about the same as mine, if not lower. So lag... what lag? I have yet to encounter any on the servers I play.

Lol. How little you know... During certain hours, peak times as I like to call them all the servers jump to 400-1000 Latency, ask some people in the chat about the game we joined. It would stop every couple of seconds, freeze for even more, then continue on normally only to repeat itself seconds later.

8/10 is still high, although I agree with most of the things you say... the blaring oddities and bugs makes it hard for me to play sometimes. But in a decent server with decent people, the mod is really fun, despite its problems. And concerning release issues and most of the playerbase, it gets a lot of points down.

Zombies number one fault is that they have no way to locate eachother other than vivid descriptions via mic or chat, and even then. The horrid maps don't help much in that case. I proposed letting Zombie vision see other zombies through walls with a blue aura, that gets fainter over longer distances. This is a massive problem, and it's not like we can just ask them to make all the maps twice as small.

Maps suck, they're too complicated. It's as if whoever made them didn't even know what they were for. Zombie spawns are TERRIBLE in most cases spawning you across the map, and more annoyingly (For humans) in a room with them.

To be honest, I was totally fleeced when I saw the models. I thought they sucked. IN COMPARISON to what they released through media on their website and MODDB. I mean, wheres all that stuff? It was great. Once it's implemented, and the things Quoti said as well, bug fixes especially server lag, certain tweaks (blocking) and weapon fixes... it ought to be one hell of a mod.

*** Should keep further discussion in the actual ZP!S thread, not in it's release thread. Most of it goes or has gone on in there anyway. ***

Lets not insult each others' intelligence, alright? That makes you look like an ass. I have played pretty much all day today as well - still no lag. Sorry.

Rofl.

You're seriously way too easily insulted. I was just saying, I've probably played more than you... I can see the patterns myself.

[Kenny]

If I told you that you knew very little, you would be insulted as well. Choose your words more wisely so as to not offend others, ass.

Here we go again. Lol@you. Sorry Mr. Sensitive

There, it's not as insulting as you think. Calm down.

[Bucky]

Who cares, lots of servers are laggy some are not
Some have bad animations.
There is one server my friend has made its called 44GRAVE, its lag free 14 slot always full and animations work. So try it out

[TheStrife]

It's not just him. Alot of the servers were so laggy that it was unplayable. It seems most of the COZ servers suffer from it.

[darksora2323]

It was ok. Slow to say the least, download and judge for yourself.
