The War Z - This IS NOT A GAME, IT'S A SCAM

[Mr. Khorn]

[QUOTE=That Ninja;37099464]I don't think client-side ragdolls would work so well since you'd have to loot bodies, and the ragdoll position for you could be different for someone else. It happens all the time in multiplayer source games. You're sitting there laughing your ass off at a ragdoll that died in a funny pose, while it's somewhere else and normal for your buddy.[/QUOTE]

Just to make a note, Fallen Earth has ragdolls server-side. But it's only for human characters and NPCs.
Animals and creatures have an animated death.

With zombies though, and hopefully the amounts of them moving about, ragdolls may be left out.

As for the enter-able building thing, Fallen Earth has buildings that can be entered. But a lot of them have first floors blocked off, while other, unreachable entrances, show empty rooms with nothing in it at all. So to add to the scene, they add empty houses with no way to get in.

So that building may be just empty fully.

[QUOTE=Webby2020;37153680]The first map is in Colorado so prolly Denver or Boulder.[/QUOTE]

I recognize the bus though, they're used by the MTA in New York, I'm actually familiar with the B63 bus route its-self.

[Webby2020]

The game is made by non Americans so that detail probably slipped them.

Even though I've seen buses like that in most major cities.

[Viper123_SWE]

Wow, this looks coo'.
I'm so going to track this.

Any news on beta testing, or is it still alpha testing like it is written in OP?

Closed Beta testing is dated for 'Late Summer', so i'd expect sometime around this month or the next, but their way of getting people into the beta is "Like this Facebook post and share it" I won't be doing that, instead I just entered my e-mail and hope I get in.

Also, just saw a guy with over 1k posts, how the hell do you spam so many posts in such a short amount of time, they really want to get in to this closed beta :v:

[Mr. Khorn]

I'm not too much digging that lockout system.

I don't often use multiple characters. So I stick to playing it to the end.

So something that doesn't punish you so severely.

Yeah, that caught me as a little odd, when I first saw it. Most games don't really get the distinction between major US cities, so I can let it slide.

wait what the fuck that [B]is[/B] the B63, it says Bay Ridge on it :v:

[editline]9th August 2012[/editline]

and there's a New York license plate, one of the old style ones before the switchover to the orange variety.

[Caynug]

I really love that picture, maybe for the fact how that dude is covered behind the car with his dragunov checking out the surrounding.

Really getting hyped up here.

[Arachnidus]

I love it too, including the fact that apparently the northern part of Brooklyn has been transported to Chicago.

But seriously, the art assets in the game are turning out very nice. For something that's effectively an MMO, they're really making the environments look great without sacrificing quality.

[Aphtonites]

I don't think it's a ripoff, but the name raises an eyebrow.

I mean really, The War Z? I think they chose that name after they found DayZ to cash on the hype.

[Caynug]

I wouldnt be surprised if they called it that way way before Dayz, you know it's been in development for a long time.

pretty sure i read something from the developers that it was just coincidence, was something to do with their other game being called war inc so they thought replace the inc with zombies = warz

was something like that anyway

By that logic DayZ got its name from the book World War Z, which I think is a more likely source to The War Z than DayZ itself.

is there any gameplay videos yet?

[QUOTE=Soren;37158554]is there any gameplay videos yet?[/QUOTE]

Nope, I would love to see one though.

I have a feeling this game is gonna be amazing.

[bobsynergy]

Has it been confirmed if the zombies are slow moving or fast? also I hope getting guns like that what looks like a M4 with the drum magazine and the laser sight aren't common, funny picture though wasn't expecting that :v:

iirc, they are slow-moving.

[Caynug]

So from that first person picture I can tell that FOV will be good, the weapon origins (atleast on that tacticool m4) look good.

Each picture destroys my worries even more and just make me think that this right here is perfect. I want to see gameplay videos finally.

don't disconnect in the middle of settlement, city, village, etc. Fine safe spot.

Whole process of disconnecting from server is a part of gameplay. It's not like you press alt-f4 in life and all problems magically dissapears.[/QUOTE]

Good to hear.

[JerryK]

i'm no expert on guns but i think that's an HK 416, not an m4

[Mbbird]

[QUOTE=JerryK;37176083]i'm no expert on guns but i think that's an HK 416, not an m4[/QUOTE]

The M4 with the C-Mag? There's not much evidence either way.

[DeEz]

[QUOTE=KigJow;37175255]iirc, they are slow-moving.[/QUOTE]

I think they're sort of jogging

they dont run

they dont walk

they jog

[JerryK]

[QUOTE=Mbbird;37176608]The M4 with the C-Mag? There's not much evidence either way.[/QUOTE]

i've never seen an m4 with sights like that, but again i'm no gun expert

[Mbbird]

[QUOTE=JerryK;37177395]i've never seen an m4 with sights like that, but again i'm no gun expert[/QUOTE]

Mmm, the stock 416 ironsights are a tad different. Those are just some (probably shitty) generic aftermarket flip-up sights. The stock 416 rail-system is a bit different too. It's almost like they tried [url=http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=2344]modeling it after a notoriously shitty airsoft gun that is all the rage with cod kiddies[/url].

Good thing they cleared up that title crap, so annoying seeing people going "omg it was so obvious they took the name from Day Z"
