ZOMBIES

[SolaR]

I would like to see a zombie mode come in play for Armagetron soon!
Suggestions on Zombie Mode;

No cycle walls
Cycle Shoot
Zombies who kill norms, they restart to zombies starting and bike becomes grey.

I designed a simple map that may come in handy if this happens..

Code: Select all

No cycle walls

Tell me how this belongs to armagetron.

Right alongside zombies and shooting.

It seems to me that you should really play Resident Evil instead.

But to appease my boredom/curiosity, let's talk about how we can do this without new development.

• No Cycle walls....................................Check.
  
  Shooting...........................................Check.
  
  Zombies who kill norms,
  they restart to zombies starting
  and bike becomes grey.......................Uh, no.

Are you talking about team swapping during a round? What's wrong with the regular sty-patch zombies chasing everyone until a winner is left? Because it's something that can already be done, and would probably be just as fun.

Also, what's the point (goal) of this mode?

[SolaR]

To see if the zombie will take out all the "good guys" before time runs out?

If its allready made, maybe my eyes are not wideopn when seeing the server list. *Runs off and finds out*

Um... In the movie once off the grid the cycles had no walls

Plus I like the game idea, sounds fun.

True, but that's not the point of Arma. The part "off the grid" is what I attempted to recreate with Advanced Racing. I kind of see where you're coming from though.

I'm always conflicted about stuff like this. One part of me says "that's not Tron, that's totally lame." And the other part says "cool, it nice to push the limits of what could or should be done." So, I'm officially in favor of a zombie server, but I'm also forced to hate it too. haha!
