[quote=Zombiepanic.org][b]Human Advantages:[/b]
[b]
Speed[/b] - A zombie can only run at about 80% of the top speed of a human player. Though, the more weaponry and ammo a human picks up, the more it will slow him down tremendously, making him an easy target for the undead. If carrying nothing a human can easily outrun a zombie. Watch out so you don't get cornered...
[b]Weapons[/b] - The humans will have a wide selection of different weapons to use for defending themselves, like firearms, explosives and melee weapons. It is essential for humans to locate weapons and ammo around the map in order to survive, since you only spawn with a random melee weapon and handgun scavenging is a must. Remember that your inventory is limited and hogging weapons will slow you down, so sharing with your teammates is a must which also promotes teamwork.
[b]Numbers[/b] - At the beginning of the round, there is only one zombie (depends on the amount of players) and everyone else is a Survivor. This means that they can easily watch each others backs and provide cover fire. However, once their ammo starts to run dry and they begin to squabble amongst themselves for the few precious clips of ammo available...
[b]Communication[/b] - Instead of typing messages to each other (occupying busy hands), which can be really dangerous when the zombies are lurking in the shadows, the humans will have the ability to communicate by voice commands. There will be a menu with several commands that can help the humans to organize a defense, trade ammunition and request help. [/quote]
[quote=Zombiepanic.org][b]Zombie abilities and advantages:[/b]
[b]Regeneration[/b] - Zombies will over time regenerate hit points making it more difficult for survivors to make dead the undead.
[b]Carrier[/b] - The first Zombie of the round differ a lot from the other undead, he looks different, sounds different and have abilities that the average zombie can only dream of. He is the Carrier! With the power to infect people (10% infection chance per hit by default) he will cause panic and paranoia amongst the living.
[b]Persistence[/b] - Zombies may seem to die often, but they won't give up. They just keep re-spawning over and over until your pistol runs out of bullets, your back is to the wall, and there is no escape.
[b]Numbers[/b] - Later on in the game, as the undead ranks swell with the freshly dead, the last few humans will find their superior weaponry small compensation for the hordes of zombies that close in.
[b]
Zombie Vision[/b] - With the zombies not being able to use a flashlight, we have given them the ability to use Zombie Vision. Z-vision works in a way that it brightens up any possible light source in a room to make it more viewable. More importantly, humans that keep active will slowly begin to glow red making it easier for a zombie to track their prey. To prevent games of hide and seek a survivor over a period of time of sitting still will also start to glow red by fear of the unknown. [/quote]
[b]Sounds cool, how much does it cost on steam?[/b]
Well, you can get it [url=http://store.steampowered.com/app/17500/]here[/url]. It's free, but you need to alraedy own a game that runs on the source engine (TF2, L4D, Gmod etc.)
[b]Is it like Left 4 Dead?[/b]
No, Left 4 Dead is focused on shooting up zombies, but Zombie Panic is focused on survival, and teamwork. Also they're isn't as much ammo on the map and you can die pretty quickly as a survivor.
So... any FPers play Zombie Panic?

^ That's what inspired me to play Zombie Panic
Kind of a shitty mod. To easy to die. Killing floor ftw.
You going lone wolf as a survivor? That's probably the reason.
Killing floor and Zombie panic are way different.
I like zombie panic, because I can be more of a rambo-ish zombie that can actually run at survivors, as opposed to running and hiding in L4D. The maps and gameplay are also different from other games, which is nice. I mainly prefer the zpo maps (especially the CvG BioTech server) because zombie have unlimited spawns, so you don't have to worry about stupid people wasting lives and making you lose.
I don't like it too much, I am the Carrier( very first zombie) way too often. And most servers have disabled his vomit, which I found very useful against survivor swarms/hunters.
One of the most over-hyped zombie mods there is.
The gameplay is way too slow. Humans are slow, zombies are slow. It's too hard to kill zombies and the only strategy is to closet camp and prop block.
Horrible mod.

Quoted for excessive amounts of truth.
I had some great times with the HL1 mod. Ah, good ol' Hotel. Everything was quite solid. Don't know what the hell happened with source though.

QFT. I just Downloaded it, horrible mod.
I hated the mod. It was just too damn frustrating as a zombie to first find where any survivor was, then it was harder than anything to try to even touch them let alone kill them, especially when they're in a pack.
My preference for zombie mods is zombie master. One guy controlling the zombies and whatever deadly traps the map has.
it's good, but i played enough

He has vomit? When did they add that in?
But I guess it's like the pigstick in Hidden.

[i]YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH[/i]
I still boot it up once in a while
It's okay... I only play it with my brother and his friends. On a kids server (lawls) I usually just go there to make fun of the little shits and not get banned, it's a lot of fun
It would be better with npc zombies that would follow the carrier and other player zombies imo.
[QUOTE=markfu;16372268]He has vomit? When did they add that in?[/QUOTE]
They added that a while ago, as in a year ago.
Claire's Torture Chamber is a shitty server, admins are a bunch of cock sucking children who worship Claire and wholegrain like they're the Gods of ZPS.
The hitboxes and lag are the things that made me stop playing.
I'd be running away from a zombie, shooting at it, and then he kills me. The zombie's four feet away.
It was awesome when it first came out for the first week or 2, but I don't like playing it as much any more.
When I played it I usually joined the convict gaming servers. They were usually good and most people weren't jackasses.
ZPS is a great game...Kind of. Feels like it's missing something. Never played original, but I have HL1 now (I played through Source at a friend's house, and loved HL:Day One and HL:Uplink) and I might play some original mods.
If you start as a zombie with other zombies and vomit it is really fun-vomit trough window at survivor, survivor get infected, infected guy kill survivors.
useful tactic
You can vomit? When did they add this.
[QUOTE=ashxu;16391998]You can vomit? When did they add this.[/QUOTE]
Like I said in an earlier post, they added it about a year ago when they first introduced female human.
Zombie-Master is loads better :)
Pretty cool mod, gonna reinstall
Zombie master gets boring, same old stuff, just hop on a car and melee the zombies, in Zombie Panic you're up against humans, and nothings scarier than turning a corner as the last guy when your flashlight just died and getting surrounded by 23 zombies.

scary =/= fun
It's actually boring. The only reason I ever played is because my friends bro made the official maps.
I didn't like ZPS. It was so unbelievably hard to kill the zombies. I spawn, with a Glock, move with the mass of survivors. Somehow, I get separated from the group, and I'm on my own. A zombie finds me. I open fire on him with the Glock, and hit him at least 6 times in the head - that should be enough, but no - my only mag is now empty, and I get killed.
Lovely.
