American Intervention?

[[AM]Echo 419]

Where the hell are the Americans!?! I mean the U.K and America are like brothers and if one has a problem it would only be right for another to help. Like in Iraq, America asked England for help and got it, so I'm pretty sure if England asked for help against some kind of freak accident America would be inclined to help.

Another idea, since the British have the Bullpup maybe in the future you could give America the M16 if this idea ever goes anywhere.
Just an idea. And it could build on more of a in depth storyline.

Pretty much everyone in england died within a few hours. There are nearly unkillable monsters roaming the streets of london. The city is in ruins.

Honestly? At this point the only options open would be quarentine or a tactical nuclear strike.

And that's assuming the outbreak was only in london. Its entirely possible that this is a world-wide problem, in which case there would be no help to send.

[[AM]Echo 419]

Alright following the quarantine option, wouldn't the Americans come and help assuming this is a continental problem. And the DRF have to operate out of some command post since in the West London and Manor maps they are choppered in.

And another question. The specimens don't transmit transmit a disease right? I thought they were just lab experiments.

Hes right.. all of these "Zombies" are infact experiments inside a lab, So... its most likely just in london area, they dont grow.. they dont expand... in there numbers, So.. there is no world Domination just one big sick lab problem

[Dr. Macon Dead]

Personally, I go off of Uwasawaya's survival story for what happened:

"You're from the Midwest, right? Your tag said so... so where you there when it happened?" he asked. His companion nodded as he ran a hand through his disheveled hair. "Only the beginning," Wolf said, "we were lucky... no one knew where the hell they came from... just overran everything... the government got some people out, but the National Guard, the police, the military... they couldn't get organized in time. I saw the first walls... they just barricaded the entire eastern half of the U.S., and left everyone to their fate

Horzine, being a global corporation, likely had such labs all over the world. Personally, I think they all simultaneously went to hell. I always thought there was an employee, much like newman from jurassic park, who decided the experiments were wrong, and figured it would lead to the end of the world. He shut down containment in the central HQ, most likely thinking they would kill their captors, but be unable to escape, or maybe they'd all kill each other.

Then a few months later there are only small military groups in the mountainous regions flying small teams in to try and clear out some small areas so they can start to recover.

Assuming the outbreak only happened in england:
Even though they can't self-replicate, there are still a shit-ton of them, vs, supposedly, a very small military presence. At this point they'd probably try to contain the outbreak, rather than rescue the military, meaning either a nuke or a quarentine.

Though honestly what I'd really like is for the official story to be fleshed out a bit more. Too much was left out in the open for my tastes.

[DukeDawson]

I can agree with that then there wouldn't be pointless discussions like this... Lol,

A nuke would sort them all swiftly. i reckon thats the only way to go =]

[[AM]Echo 419]

Agreed, the story line isn't complete enough. Hah I'm on the eastern half of the US so I'm behind the barricade. I'm sure it didn't or wont hold though.

Another thing, these creatures in KF don't really walk or run to fast, what would stop the military from just running away and regrouping in a good area of cover like high ground or underground. And air support would be vital, just lure the creatures into a big plan and napalm them, and when the ones that die by fire are dead just carpet bomb the whole area eliminating all thats rest. Did anyone ever hint on how many different sections of Horizone exist? Most like 3 or 4 in the US, located in big cities due to the ease of shipping raw materials in and out.

[DukeDawson]

Thinking like that will make you the first to be a sandwich !!!!!

Only joking.. you'll be surprized how fast some of the undead things run ... theres a phew things that have caught up to me.. rather surprizingly

and.. you make it sound like there coming from just one Direction.... labs.. EVERYWHERE xD

T.b.h we shud just sack the survivers and nuke em.. save the important people

[[AM]Echo 419]

At full health the only things you have to worry about are, stalkers, gorefast's, scrakes and FP's some times.

[maul]

haha
I'm in Australia. Suck my nuts.
I'm safe lol.
Nah jks, You must remember that when the initial outbreak happened they weren't expecting it...its not exactly like everyone has one of these...

So peeps would have been fairly munched. But they would be hesitant to detonate entire city areas due to their still being a civilia presence - and doing so would cause massive public outcry in nations like mine who are still zombie free (as of now).

[Antigod]

From what I gather from the storyline, it's pretty much only the UK that has been overrun, I see it similar to the 28days/weeks later scenario.

However like you guys have already said, the specimens are pretty much self contained in that they cannot spread a disease, therefore they cannot infect people. This is where the story for KF has problems IMO, if they were true zombies (or infected people like 28days) then its understandable that the entire UK could potentially be wiped out as the disease spreads. However since they are specimens, then must eventually all die out.

I personally think we need Alex to flesh out the story properly. Is it just London and the surrounding areas, is it the entire UK, is it WorldWide? These are questions that could do with some answers. Also the DRF operate from somewhere, it probably makes more sense to assume that the southern region of the UK has been wiped out.

[DukeDawson]

Yes.. lets start demanding a story line.. otherwise We... will... annoy them Bwahaha ! ;D Lol i think t.b.h a decent intro story line.. is Much needed so we can understand Why and were these things came from apart from some weird ass lab,

[[AM]Echo 419]

If you go into the KF wiki and under enemies it gives some back story to the creatures and the scientists in general. It really helped me in some areas.

[Grim]

28 Days/Weeks Later actually spreads past the United Kingdoms, as there is a few hints now and again that France has been over run in the first one, I believe.


And maybe Lab Experiments actually grow from the ground? When you kill them their blood shoots all over the place, causing it to seek cracks in the ground and walls to nestle into, then it sprouts a new clot or whatever slowly, so really every time you kill one you make about fifteen more

[Abyx]

Americans coming in would completely ruin the game, In my opinion. Though it would be realistic per say, it doesn't sound like KF to me.

KF has always been with British people, it's like the game's icon.
