someone suggested being able to barricade youre self in a building.

to me the barricade and defend idea is a staple of the zombie fantasy(dawn of the dead - 2004).

so i suggest a map type where you defend till the marines get to you (i.e. time limit).

you could have levels with premade barricades and the zombies slowly break it down, then the group could fall back to bottel necks and finally the room of DOOM!!! i was also thinking of trigger type barricades (i.e. the first line of barricades is lost & the group moves to the second line and activates the next set of barricades, but this could cut off others on the wrong side of the next set of barricades (i.e. intentional triggering of second, third, ect. line barricades earlier by a malicious person)

imagine you and youre friends are barricaded in a room with SOMEONE INFECTED. the suspence is great and thats totaly classic.

could this be done?

am i the only one who wants to see this in a game???

i'd love to see a remake of the mall in dawn of the dead...

oh and since this is coop mod a weapon sdk should be made so people can make tons and tons of new weapons. i think variety is essiantal to coop mods. this would also help level designers add a new level of style to there maps (i.e. a evil dead model and weapon set with levels based on the movie - "hail to the king baby!"). this could make the mod very dynamic.

That's a great idea, I'll release several of the weapon animations/models/skins so people can create their own weapons or weaponmods. I always like to do that for other mods smile.gif

About the barricades: We didn't plan something like this for the first release. But there might be similar situations: Marines often build small barricades in the maps where you can also hide and defend yourself (they'll help you). And the man beside you may be infected smile.gif You will recognize an infected in the latest seconds of his human life ^^

I had no thoughts at all on a gameplay like that.

I thought about this idea (and tested it) for further versions of this mod, too. We´ll see. If BB will be well played, i´ll create a map with these features (hehe, i´ve been thinking of this kind of map, too... so i started another map with a mall). ^^

Thank you very much! I hope, that you´ll like it...

@All: I started with the main hall of the mall and with some barricades, defended by a few marines. After a few seconds the locked doors are destructed by the zombie horde... better be prepared at this time. ^^ I don´t want to promise too much, but it feels really great defending the barricades (with those marines) against the zombies. It´s pure fun (and war ^^)! biggrin.gif
