I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!
I've been trying to remember what that game for my old playstation was, and I was just spacing out, looking at your avatar, and I'm like wait... FUCK YES!!
I prefer zombies that actually spawn from the dead. The near bullet proof nature of them is interesting and it means that you actually have to die to become them, you can't just be tapped on the shoulder and bam, you're one of them.
Fast Zombie are way too scary. Imagine someone running at you full speed.

The virus is transferred via blood.
You could drink something that came into contact with the virus and be fine, but if you get ulcers you could become one.
Basically an unsuspecting and terrible way to go.
[QUOTE=professional;17792001]Or... not
How the fuck are they going to "find you" when you're nowhere near them? Seriously if a guy was being followed by some shamblers out in the middle of a street, he'd have but to go for a jog and within 9 minutes or so he'd be a good 2 kilometers out from the zombies.[/QUOTE]
Becuase they follow you...they smell you and they can tell your movements diffrent from their fellow undead, they are everywhere and no matter how slow they move you will end up dead in the end.
It's all power in numbers, really not that hard to understand.
[QUOTE=LittleDogX;17792006]I've always hated the slow zombies. They can survive after a fuck-ton of bullets hit them, which doesn't make sense to me.[/QUOTE]
Becuase they are dead, nothing in them works apart from the brain.
That's why you go for the head.
[QUOTE=BricknHead;17792502]Except the difference being in zombie media that you never just have 10 slow zombies, that defeats the point. Of course there's little scare factor when there's only 10. The point of the slow zombie is to show the theme of the mob mentality. Guess what you need for mob mentality. Their scare comes from numbers, not from their individual ability.
The "slow and stupid" argument is the stupidest goddamn argument in existence because you're not actually seeing the fucking point of zombie media. Yes, they're slow and stupid.
One slow and stupid motherfucker won't harm you.
A thousand that surround you on all sides have a pretty good chance of doing it.
THAT'S THE POINT

OK and your taking it that a fast zombie can not be grouped with other fast zombies
Imagine this
1 Slow zombie
1 Fast zombie
Which one is more of a threat ?

fast, but you're missing the point
The new "fast" zombie goes for a more realistic approach - they're in realistic numbers. Most movies / games only have around 1000 or so per town - they're pretty desolate (since the zombies have eaten everyone). Old slow zombies, no matter where you go, there's at least 10,000 per town.
IE I'd rather deal with 1000 fast zombies than 10000 slow ones.
One should also consider the fact that fast zombie have an advantage in surprise
An army of slow zombie can be spotted before they reach you, plans can be made on how to deal with them
Fast zombies can just jump you from out of nowhere and be done withi t
I am kind of one the fence about his, because the slow ones are pretty scary (Shaun of The Dead much???OMFG!!) but the fast ones are pretty freakin' scary too(Dawn Of The Dead remake FTW) but I think I would be more likely to survive if they were slow, so I have to say the faster ones are MUCH scarier.
But that's just my opinion.
[QUOTE=lolwutdude;17790271]Never found slow zombies scary at all, I don't know anyone else can.
Slow zombies are stupid and slow. I could probably dodge them and headshot them all easily.
Fast zombies are fucking fast and dodgy. I'd waste my whole clip just trying to kill one while I can headshot 20 or so slow zombies with 1 clip.[/QUOTE]
Just like the ones from 28 days later.
Start with sprinter who degrade into shambler over time. There you go.

[QUOTE=Lamp;17791966]What the fuck is scary about something you can just run away from?[/QUOTE]
The numbers of them.
I dunno, but there's just something about slower zombies that seems scary. The fast ones always seem so much less... organized, I guess. The slow ones seem like a hive mind that will get you eventually.

And that doesn't apply to fast zombies because? At least when the shamblers surround me, I have a chance to commit suicide to avoid turning into them.
Fast zombies would rip my arms off before I could pull a trigger.

It depends on where this takes place. A cramped apartment or a wide open field? Either can be deadly.

fast zombies have always been in groups of about 20-30
[QUOTE=BricknHead;17803224]fast zombies have always been in groups of about 20-30[/QUOTE]
20-30 of sprinting, no-fatigue, adrenaline pumped, cannibalistic fucks heading towards me is enough to shit my pants. There is no hope for me, because any weapon I had would be futile against them. And 20-30 is only how their portrayed in the media, logic says it can be in groups of 1,000. Look at Dawn of the Dead, you literally see millions.
Not to mention, I scratch my head asking how the fuck they could take humanity down, those shamblers. Their slow and their stupid, if this started this in a redneck community, they would be dead because their too slow to dodge a bullet to their heads.

I think you assume that every single American, every single person on the planet, is a Rambo.
Look at my post above, the ones with the videos. You don't have to be fast and agile to take down civilization. You can slowly eat away at it from the inside out and watch it tear itself apart.
Sure there might be people who think that they can survive the Z-apocalypse, but for every person who thinks that, thousands, millions, will probably be idiots and just add to the masses.
Read World War Z. Very nice read, doesn't have any of the retarded sprinters we see now and days.
And also, what if the Z-virus is airborne? What if it's as contagious as swine flu is? Then we're REALLY fucked.
If it was a real life scenario wouldn't there be both since the older ones would be shamblers and the new ones would be sprinters.
also I'm using the keyboard you haft to click with your mouse so i'm not fucking correcting my mistakes

We don't know for sure. Maybe they'll be Sprinters, Shamblers, a combination of both, or you have both of them. Kinda like Half-Life 2.
fast zombies would not happen because of rot making muscle tissue break down so if a zombie decied to run they would start falling apart
Both, best zombie apocalypse ever. I can't choose between just one, it's too hard. :frown:

The fast ones don't decay the same as the slow ones do, they're just infected, not rotting.

All you have to do is send a single SWAT Team, and they'll headshot the slow dumb zombies with ease. Slow zombies would spread [b]slowly[/b], while fast zombies would spread [b]fast[/b].
I'll read the book if I find it in my local library, but just think about it.
What's much more of a threat and has more chance to spread around?
A slow retarded zombie that just limps towards you and making themselves an easy target? It's same as fighting a handicapped retarded kid.
Or, a fast, more intelligent zombie that sprints and jumps everywhere toward you? Crowbars, guns, and etc. is highly ineffective because they'll likely dodge it and turn your flesh to shreds in seconds.

Sprinters usually aren't intelligent in the media. They're so focused on attacking non-infected things that they won't care to dodge anything, let alone eat or drink, making them easier to take down than shamblers. If they were intelligent, sure, it might take more of an effort to take them down, but in all honesty, just look at the pros and cons in my first post. Both zombies are dangerous in their own way, and both can certainly bring down civilization.
I think Zombieland zombies should be an exception to not being scary as well. They're basically the same as the Dawn of the Dead remake zombies, which are very fucking dangerous.
Slow zombies don't make much sense to me. They would be dangerous in groups of 50+ but how did the first 50 people get infected, the things are really fucking slow.
I agree that a movie should be made with both, though.

Their intelligent enough to climb over fences, ladders, and etc. whereas shamblers just stand there to get shot at. And since when did shamblers [b]ever[/b] try to doge anything? Easier to take down sprinters than shamblers? What do you think you have better shot at killing with a gun or a crowbar: Sprinting fast adrenalined pumped motherfucker or a slow shambling retard?
And I see sprinters from Dawn of the Dead and Zombieland clearly eating.
Besides, didn't you watch the funny bit from Shaun of the Dead? The part where he was distracting the zombies? There was a cute bit which he had to stand still for 5 minute, run, and repeat just to keep zombies on his tail.

I highly suggest you read World War Z is all I'm going to say.
By the way, Shaun of the Dead was a comedy. You know, funny? Ha-ha?
[quote]Slow zombies don't make much sense to me. They would be dangerous in groups of 50+ but how did the first 50 people get infected, the things are really fucking slow.[/quote]
Because people are stupid, and will think exactly that: "oh, they're slow and stupid, they're obviously easy to avoid".
Yeah, that's why there's so many of them in the movies.
And also, like I said, if the zombie virus was as contagious at the swine flu is as of now, we would be screwed. Royally. Especially if the virus incubation period is long, and especially since we wouldn't have an immediate cure for it right away. Not only that, but the virus could be seeped into the water supply, and maybe eventually become airborne. I realize the traditional way of zombies multiplying is bites, but it doesn't necessarily have to just be bites. We'll never really know for sure unless a zombie apocalypse actually happens.
