Zombie mod variant?

[Salad Snake]

Ok, a couple days ago I happened upon a zombie server that had slightly different rules then the norm.....

1. No knockback from guns. (As in, you can't keep the zombies away by shooting them)

2. To conteract this, headshots are a 1-hit kill.

3. To conteract that, bodyshots do absolutely nothing. (Like I said before, it won't keep them away)

I was a bit iffy joining the game, but after trying it regular zombie mod hardly interests me anymore! It's very tense guarding a cade/walkway/bridge/whatever, knowing you have to get that headshot before they reach you (or you run out of ammo in your mag). If you're rushed by more then 2 zombies (zombies respawn, btw), without assistance, you're screwed. Promotes teamplay too.

Anyway, that server is now on my favorites (awpaholics zombie mod or something), but the problem is, it's always empty, I mean I've tried to fill it, but I'm only one person.....

My question is this, has anyone else been to any other servers running this type of zombie mod? And if so, what's it called, or what's it's IP?

Edit: I do believe this is my thousandth post.

Sounds interesting, but I have not yet come across this mod. Though i would at the very least like to give it a go.

Seems like a combination of mods

There are a lot of normal DM servers that run the headshot only mod, so headshots are the only ones that do damage

Always thought that knockback was a big part of zombie tbh

Normally it would be, but trust me, the balance still works with this.

I'll get the IP address sometime later, too tired now......

[MrChris_CJ]

well yer lack of knockback is fine when you say the zombies dont have stupid amounts of hp, hope they respawn though

On another note a mate of mine showed me another zombie mod for css last night

Zombie Panic source, its a lot of fun, you have to pick up guns, scavenge for ammo, zombies can die quite easily and are the slow moving kind but have regenerative health and respawn

Also when you attack someone as a zombie you can infect people (they turn green on zombie vision) then you can just sit back and wait cos in a few minutes the guy will change and kill everyone lol

Yes respawn is instantaneous, makes it feel like there's a whole mob after you on bigger servers.

Isn't that the zombie mod with that recent big update?

I was gonna try it, but I already have Zombie Master, is this much different/worth DLing?

Are the weapons the default CSS ones or original?

[MrChris_CJ]

nah the weapons are quite different

you start the round with a pistol and a melee weapon which ranges from golf clubs, saucepans etc to axes and huge hammers lol

then you move through the level grabbing weapons, ammo, armour etc, usually then the humans all stick together for safety and in order to swap ammo (you can drop spare ammo which you dont need or is weighing you down)

Theres a few pistols, 2 beastly shotguns, ak47, mp5, a magnum as well that one hit kills with a hs

the zombies are slow, but have a boost button that makes em go faster, one of the initial zombies is a carrier and infects people on practically every hit he lands, the others can infect as well but with less chances. Zombies also have lives, after dieing a certain amount of times they dont respawn

its a lot of fun, with some awesome maps, was on a map last night that has a police station, we had somehow gotten around most of the map without being seen or anything and had loads of guns and ammo, we go upstairs into this dark as hell office floor, computer cubicles everywhere and got ambushed by shedloads of zombies who were trying to get at another group of people, we were moving really slow cos of all our stuff but we made up for it with our weapons, it was freakin eerie and scary lol

Hm, you have convinced me.

How's the community? Friendly/numerous?


EDIT: Tried it, was pretty good, except I have no idea where the exe is, so I can't make shortcuts. It joins from the steam server list, but it doesn't appear on my games list. Did you have this problem?

[MrChris_CJ]

After I had installed it I simply restarted Steam and it was in the games list

had to install hl2, but had most of it with cs, tf etc

Yeah just had to restart steam.

Just another incidence of my impatience.....*sigh*...

if you see glowing eyes in the shadows run like hell!

The zombies eyes glow? Didn't know that.

Or is that with zombie vision? For that matter, is there any reason to not have zombie vision on continuously?

[MrChris_CJ]

sometimes when i walk around, I just see these white dots in the shadows and leg it, dont always see them

and sometimes the zombie vision seems to be bugged for me, the humans dont show up properly, but most of the time I keep it on

Finally got the IP for the server: 72.21.56.83:27015

It's appearently a fairly new ZM server, and they're still working out all the kinks.

So, to anyone who'll get a reasonable ping, I recommend this server, admins aren't bad, so no worries about that. If anything, they might switch maps kinda often, since they are still deciding what to put into the permanent rotation.
