Zombies? In Quake?!

[R00k]

So, I was thinking of making a zombie mod of sorts.

Public opinion welcome!

Here's a gameplay ruleset i was thinking about... nothing set in stone for sure....

Something like ...

Everyone spawns normal FREE FOR ALL (no teams)....kinda

A few AI enemies spawn....

If a player gets attacked by a zombie (close range) he becomes a zombie grunt, can only shoot 1 weapon + melee attack (axe)

if he is further beat down he himself becomes a zombie and can only use melee attacks, (or close range fists)...

Map has normal weapon spawns or limited FREE inventory...

Zombies die from nades or rl (or axe)?

Last man alive wins the round.
Everyone respawns. Or just a 20 minute mash of player->grunt->zombie->respawn to player over and over.....

I've watched DayZ gameplay and Zombie Panic (HL2 mod) but 90% of the time they are not fighting zombies! Just running around talking on MICs trying to do something else!!

I'm just trying to think of a fun mod that utilizes a monster with gameplay strategy that will bring new players around for a minute or two

any suggestions?

I have almost nil experience with zombie mods. I've played dead island , and other games of the zombie genre but as for mods I only tried the cod black ops 'thing' where you had to kill them and also re-board up windows and shit.

pretty lame I thought.

your proposed concept sounds better than anything I've messed with so far.

i suggest following some of the rules of zombieland... like the double tap set it so at random you need to kill the zombie twice. and maybe reset the health boxes to Twinkies boxes.

also maybe a protection mode where quake girl follows you around and you got to keep her safe... but she turns in to a zombie anyway at some point and you kill her

if a zombie hits you with a gib it slows you down and takes health

i think you need a chain saw in this mod forshure

what ever you do make it all about the body count! try the map dry sorrow and try to give it that crazy overwhelming feel.

teamplay aspects gotta be top priority imo but keeping it off dm3 seems my biggest concern hah.

sounds good to me.

suggestions; make the zombies attack with the speed of the fiends, like on coop servers, but give them some extra abilities (the ones that just stand and throw body parts or poop or whatever that is, are boring.), make them similar to the ones in the world war z movie, and take some of the strategy used in the walking dead tv show... and also alternating weapons that are zombie killing appropriate, like keep standard weapons and have pushing 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 (lol yea i still use those keys for weapon switching its easier for me), or whatever config u have, and have them alternate when you push twice into extra zombie killing weapons. would be kinda cool. Or zombies from this b-movie [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX6fommrRnM]Zombie Driftwood (2010) - Official Trailer HD - YouTube[/ame] for a more comical theme. *just some thoughts*..

also if you die in a zombie attack, or you kill yourself or fall to death etc.. have zombies pile around your corpse where you can view them from the ground and have them zombie dance [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Btb7y41vXng]Michael Jackson zombie dance - YouTube[/ame] until you hit a button or click the mouse.
