Quote from RazrBlade

Perhaps you could make like, a knife specialist? He's got more speed, as he uses only blades. (Swords, Daggers, Machetes, Etc.) And he's not heavily armed, so no armor. (If armor has anything to do with damage, or buffers).

A Demolitons guy - C-4, BREACH CHARGES, ROCKET LAUNCHER, GRENADE LAUNCHER, etc etc.

ehh?

No. I'm not giving any characters starter weapons besides one meele to start with. The Cop will have a police baton, the medic a bone saw, and I'm not sure about others yet. Also, i want each class to be a regular joe/sue. a knife specialist and demolitions guy don't fall under that category.

How 'bout you let it so I could enter a cheat code and get things that go boom?

Got another class. A firefighter, who can take more damage than the other characters because he's used to the heat and shit.

How the hell does that make sense? Zombies =/= heat.

Jeeze Ash, git with the times, everyone knows zombies hurl fire balls.

Okay, then because the firefighter is tough or something.

Meh. meybe I'll have some levels with fire on them, and he can walk through fire? Perhaps he'd have an axe to get through wooden doors also.

Chainsaw + Zombies = Win.

The chainsaw would have very limited fuel if I added it.

You'll give him fire, but you won't give me things that go boom?

You make me feel down down down.

Maybe something like if you get bit by a zombie or something, your health slowly drains and you need to find a hidden antidote or something to cure it.

I've already thought of that. I'm gonna make it so that as soon as you are attacked the first time, your health begins to steadily deteriorate, but there's no way to stop it: you just have to keep finding food and health packs. This is a way of ensuring that the player keeps moving: I don't want it to be too easy to just hang out at a turret or sniper rifle and camp out.

Do not make it to fast, or else it'll just be annoying.

I won't. It'll be at about .5% every 30 seconds.

This game needs a co-op mode.

And a survival mode. That is also co-op.

how about this idea
