I've used the search tool, and found nothing about this fantastic game.

QUOTE (ZPS Official site)
  The basic idea of the Zombie Panic is to create solid game play that is based on a classic zombie outbreak scenario, the living dead are coming for the last remaining humans, and these survivors must fight them off and live through the day.

The game works like this:

  Everyone joins a server, in the beginning you can either choose to join the human team or you can volunteer to be the first zombie. If no one volunteers the game will pick one human randomly and the game begins. The starter zombie's goal is to, of course kill the humans while the human goal is to stay alive as long as possible, complete objectives, or even wipe out all the zombies. The catch is that when a human is slayed he will simply join the ranks of the undead, now ready to finish off his old living teammates.
  The humans can't tell by the player list who's alive and who's not, eventually there will only be one survivor still standing if all goes wrong, facing all the zombies which used to be allies, with his back to a wall. The zombies only have a certain number of reinforcements (lives), when a zombie is killed they lose 1 life from the counter. However, when a human is killed they gain 1 life. If the zombies only have 1 respawn left the humans can win the round by killing off the remaining undead left on the map.

This is the main concept of how the game works but of course, but with additional game modes there is a bit more variety to it.

Human Advantages:

Speed - A zombie can only run at about 80% of the top speed of a human player. Though, the more weaponry and ammo a human picks up, the more it will slow him down tremendously, making him an easy target for the undead. If carrying nothing a human can easily outrun a zombie. Watch out so you don't get cornered...

Weapons - The humans will have a wide selection of different weapons to use for defending themselves, like firearms, explosives and melee weapons. It is essential for humans to locate weapons and ammo around the map in order to survive, since you only spawn with a random melee weapon and handgun scavenging is a must. Remember that your inventory is limited and hogging weapons will slow you down, so sharing with your teammates is a must which also promotes teamwork.

Numbers - At the beginning of the round, there is only one zombie (depends on the amount of players) and everyone else is a Survivor. This means that they can easily watch each others backs and provide cover fire. However, once their ammo starts to run dry and they begin to squabble amongst themselves for the few precious clips of ammo available...

Communication - Instead of typing messages to each other (occupying busy hands), which can be really dangerous when the zombies are lurking in the shadows, the humans will have the ability to communicate by voice commands. There will be a menu with several commands that can help the humans to organize a defense, trade ammunition and request help.


Zombie abilities and advantages:

Regeneration - Zombies will over time regenerate hit points making it more difficult for survivors to make dead the undead.

Carrier - The first Zombie of the round differ a lot from the other undead, he looks different, sounds different and have abilities that the average zombie can only dream of. He is the Carrier! With the power to infect people (10% infection chance per hit by default) he will cause panic and paranoia amongst the living.

Persistence - Zombies may seem to die often, but they won't give up. They just keep re-spawning over and over until your pistol runs out of bullets, your back is to the wall, and there is no escape.

Numbers - Later on in the game, as the undead ranks swell with the freshly dead, the last few humans will find their superior weaponry small compensation for the hordes of zombies that close in.

Zombie Vision - With the zombies not being able to use a flashlight, we have given them the ability to use Zombie Vision. Z-vision works in a way that it brightens up any possible light source in a room to make it more viewable. More importantly, humans that keep active will slowly begin to glow red making it easier for a zombie to track their prey. To prevent games of hide and seek a survivor over a period of time of sitting still will also start to glow red by fear of the unknown.

We want the mod to feel creepy and give you a sense of desperation, and yet not take itself so seriously that you can't laugh at the way you got slayed. Overall fun and playability is the priority, where is realism and horror while important are just a bonus when possible. We want a mod that you can easily play with any number of people, even with small numbers or uneven numbers. Plus, there's a certain sense of satisfaction in tearing apart the heartless survivors who failed to protect you while you were alive, limb from limb.


tl;dr... It's a game with Survivors Vs. Zombies, the suvivors can get infected and become a zombie, or get killed and become a zombie.

In a recent update, they added a barricade system, think Garry's Mod easy-weld.

It's a really fun game, and I would like to know two things.
1. Does anyone here play it?
2. We should organize a match

I haven't played Zombie Panic at all, but Zombie Fortress is pretty fun. If they're comparable in any way, I wouldn't mind installing it.

It's pretty much this:

-YOU SUCK AT POISON YOU CAN'T PLAY
-**** I GET SHOTGUN HERE GET OUT
-ASSHOLE I'LL LET YOU DIE OUT THERE
-GOD DAMNIT ZOMBIE HACKER

And the worst part of it is that there ain't any whining 12 year olds.

Also read upper post.



also souce

Zombie Panic and Zombie Survival are the same game man
Only difference is that Zombie Survival has more variety.

It was fun until Left 4 Dead came out.

Also Zombie Master is better.

I prefer Zombie Fortress, yeah. That's more fun. For example, you can play as a zombie russian and eat sandvich to recover health. You can also shoot people from far away with a flick of the wrist, or punch them all dead.

Also, Left 4 Dead. Fast zombies, tactical zombie types, the fact that the whole game wants to star YOU and YOUR FRIENDS on the internet against THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE.

Well think Half Life 2

Fast Zombies, slower ones who can throw things at you to make crowds more dangerous buy poisoning you, and common infected.

Really Valve pulled their zombie designs from Ravenholm IMO

I prefer Zombie Master (Fun, and objective based [whee], but sucks when you get a terrible or afk master, and when you die early in a round and can't play for the next 10 minutes). Really fun, though, most maps give everyone a weapon and present fun challenges and objectives.

Gmod ZS is really fun, tons of npc zombies which you milk for kills in order to earn better weapons, and then stake out somewhere for a while. Much like ZP, the round starts with a few player zombies, and when you die you become one. A few different zombie classes add to awesome.

Zombie Fortress is kinda lame but it's decent if you don't feel like installing a mod or you just really like tf2 classes

I like Zombie Panic Source, though I still like the HL version way better.

At first I hated ZPS, but then it actually got some objective maps. It's fun in its own way.

Zombie Master is the superior game though because of creative game modes

Like soccer

And one where you're in a garage and you have to venture out to find parts to build a truck and escape (wouldn't that be wicked in L4D?)

Its like CoD4 if one team can only melee and the other team uses no cooperation whatsoever.

When you've played ridiculous amounts of Team Fortress 1 & 2, Half Life 2: DM, and Left 4 Dead, you kind of get tired of games like this.

Guess its how much they pale in comparison.

Well, it's pretty good for a free modification, but I'd say it's not quite enough to be up to par to a retail game (like Team Fortress 2 or Left 4 Dead).
