Shotgun Zombie

[Grex»]4D[«]

i know it's already been mentioned about not adding stuff in this new patch, but:



all the files are already there, left over from v1 presumably, but if someone knew how to get it ingame, would be a good addition since nothing has a real projectile attack

the fleshpound also has more attacks and animations, including a very scary looking running animation, more than what we've seen ingame

sounds like we have trouble with a new zombie ;D
It will be hard when we fight him.... Cool

Hmm...I dunno, he'd look a little weird to be stuck in with the 2.0 specimenses. Also, it tries to convince you that they're zombies instead of biological weapons or whatever they are now.

I think that the siren more than makes up for that guy. Besides, did he even have a ranged attack in 1.0? I think that was an idea Alex had in the early stages of 2.0. I doubt if he works properly, as I don't think Alex ever finished it.

Nope, this zombie was in 1.0, but it was only a third variation of the clot. First was "infiected White man 1" aka Clot. The secound was "infected white man 2" in 2.0 it's the siren. And this zombie was the "infected Soldier".

I like the sound of this But I don't think that zombie will fit in with the rest :\

[Raziel]

I like it. It looks more ... "Zombie-Like", than the other ones.

[fleshfeast]

Reminded of the grunts in Quake...it'd be interesting, but it'd have to have short range and fire about as slowly as the siren otherwise it'd mow us down...Not very out of place in my opinion, because the scrake has a chainsaw, probably fueled on it's own blood or hate. I agree with Raz, It has a nice decayed look.

Oh hey, there is a survivor. (walk up to it only to get buckshot in the chest.) Whoops.

The zombies in 1.0, while pretty sweet, are of a totally different art style/theme.

The new specimens all have these niche roles that they fall into, and the Siren is more than enough. Think about it... it basically IS a shotgun, it's a wide-area short range damage dealing monster, but the catch is that it doesn't need a line of sight.

I had already proposed new ones awhile ago, one being almost identical to the smoker from Left 4 Dead (without the tongue... and I came up with it first... bastards) and the other being a nano-machine farm that heals other creatures within range.

We had some fun brainstorming...
Pity it never went anywhere.

[maul]

If he is going to eventually find his way into the game he will have to be highly drunk - walk style, otherwise we all die straight away.
Also, only shoots while standing still, and only at you when you stop moving. Seeing as how the brain decay or mutation or whatever would make it difficult for basic motor functions to be processed.
Also make him a bit more...2.0 styled. Perhaps design a new texture for him that shows it more as a mutation than a zombification thing.

[concept]

Adding the only shoot while stood still like maul suggested could even things out i think.

Maybe someone from the community could create an add-on pack of different mutations which carry guns and the such? (so the devs could focus on the other things they have planned )

I think we should have a crazy ass looking rocker specimen that causes your head to explode when he plays some mad shred on the guitar.

Good luck animating that!!!

[Grim]

I think I could manage animating that.....Depends on the song he plays.

How about this!
