I just realised that it’s not the zombies that you got to worry about it’s the people still alive. In a lot of zombie films and games this has been the case, so I thought it would be cool to have some of the boss battle with some one not quite dead. Those of you who have played Dead Rising will know what I am on about.

I believe that this type of boss would be great just imagine a crazed army general who has lost his platoon; is trying to kill you because he thinks your a zombie.

Possibly, yes

Enemy soldiers would be a good idea - maybe the players and the Marines on their side (?) could fight against Special Forces trying to eliminate witnesses, etc

Yea a bit like Resident Evil 2, but it will depend on what type of story the creators are going to do. I am looking forward to seeing what type of story they will chose I have seen what they have released already, but there is still lot left open.

OH IDEA. All the Army, Marine, Navy, Airforce people are friends, but what about Mercenaries, like the Assasins from Oppossing Force?

I think depending on the map, you'd have soldiers as either friendlies (in the area to rescue survivors and eliminate zombies), or as enemies (in the area to silence survivors, or to maintain an uncompromising quarantine).

I think instead of having just ONE boss like fred you should have a whole shitload depending on the map. say Fred for a farm, something similar to El Gigante for a city and for a forest or boat or something would be a swarm of advanced mutated creatures that are fast, agile and strong maybe a bit like the lickers from Resident evil. And for indoor levels you could have just one Super licker thing. or maybe another El Gigante thing (I'm not suggesting lickers or El Gigante but something similar) Actauly swap that around. Citys Have licker things and Forests get El Gigante. let me sum it up in an easy to read list

Citys: A swarm of Licker type creatures that are fast, agile and strong

Forests: A HUGE creature similar to El Gigante

Indoors: Just a few Licker type creatures

Farms: Fred the fugly farmer

Boats: Less lickers than a City, More than Indoors

Islands: Again A Huge El Gigante Creature

(I remind you I am not asking FOR lickers or El Gigantes but something similar)

Now THAT would kick ass!

And btw It would be stupid to have marines trying to eliminate witnessess because its all over the world and if you did that the world would only have pompas assholes who are forced to screw Uptight shitheads, so now we have a world of assholes with uptight shit, YAY

We have things planned, so just hang on and see.

NEVER!!!!!!

P.S GIMME A HINT!

IMO this idea is played out. The "cleanup crew" idea was used in the original Half-Life, which this game is based on.

The friendly + opposing forces military idea is interesting, but even that was used in... Opposing Force.

More to the point, I always liked more teamwork in zombie games, not less. To each their own...the Half-Life bots have been around for a while, if somebody put them in as an "extra" nobody would complain, certainly

Realistic wise, in a Zombie situation, I think they'd Ally with us.

Honestly, all these games with Humans killing other humans during the end of the world, sure, it'd happen, maybe about 5%...

But considering that people like that are Usually fraidy cats, I think they'd just team up with us.

What're you going to do? Your job and eliminate people and slowly die off, or team up with the people and eventually start taking ground.

I'd go with the latter.

I dunno, I just think it'd be bull for Special Forces or any Military to start wiping us out if we weren't infected, due to the more they kill non-infected, the MORE infected would pop up and only worsen their problems.

Then again, Humanity isn't smart most of the time, so yeah.

Harhar, I personally think having other humans as your enemies in a zombie game is exciting.

Yup indeed
It would be great to have human NPC enemies/allies, but woulnd't that just make it harder for the developers? I want this mod released before I start getting into Crysis! Interesting story actually, but I digress...

Psychos, wierd Cultist nutcases, the other 2 types of zombies in hl2 (fasties and lard-os , and maby blowing off a zombies head it could mutate and attack you (like when the headcrab makes a last ditch effort to kill you). Remember ravenholm? Ya, ya think your safe behing those little walls or on that ledge? A fast zombie jumps over and a poison zombie throws headcrabs at you. And the fast zombies can climb drain pipes. This makes camping up on a roof or behind a wall just a bit too tall to step over.

For example: "haha u cant get me up here!" *clank clank clank clank* RAAAAAWWWRRRR (fast zombie claws his guts out) (he dies)
