Default Crazy Idea

I have had this idea for a long time and it makes me wish I had some skill in programming and graphic design.

This is just a crazy idea, not to be taken to seriously, I am just wondering what you guys would think.

RO2 Zombie Mod

Picture this.

You and 2 to 31 friends.
In Spartenovka for example

Against constantly spawning Nazi Zombies that can only die with 1 headshot or 3-4 chest shots. Legs or feet would make them crawl, hand and arm would be ripped out.

All that with the current weapons.

Different classes would make different zombies.

Rifleman = slow walking
SMG = faster walking
SL = running
MG = Tank zombie

All in fairly balanced spawning numbers.


Need to survive X amount of time
You get overrun and move back to next spawn just like the regular territory game.


Looking at how well Arma2 is selling since DayZ mod... I was thinking it couldn't hurt

What do you guys think of my crazy idea ?

No Thx. Not a zombie mod for Ro2. Go and play Killing Floor or something similar.

Killing floor isn't WW2 based.
Killing floor has more than just classic zombies.

KF isn't RO2.

Just because you hate zombie games dosn't mean other people can't enjoy them.

Well, since there's a thread already made about this...guess I should share my ideas.

Nazi undead is already used more than twice...
How about "Bolshevik Zombies"?!

Zombie types:
*Zombies of the red army with glowing red eyes(or not), some of them are carrying a weapon on their back;
*Zombie cossacks riding with their undead horses and swinging their sables;
*Crawling zombies, which were blown by artillery before they became undead;
*Zombie Ogeltez deployed with 2 DP-28's and Vladimir on his back throwing grenades(or giving to Ogeltez mouth to throw it further);
*Fully operational tank with ZOMBIES in it!

So you want to play against a mindless horde who shuffle about in a random way with no logic or reason? Just play on a server filled with bots



Anyway another Zombie downed in the Zombie apocalypse

True that. But Zombies don't shoot weapons with extreme accuracy!

Could you imagine an RO2 version of DayZ? An entire Stalingrad modeled and with items, ammo, parts for vehicles scattered throughout to be looted? Imagine: a lone German survivor meets a Russian, and they team up looking for others?

Gentlemen. I have a dream.

Creating a detailed city size of a Chernarus , would be so immenslly challanging and time consuming , also not sure if Unreal engine can support such maps.

Iron Front liberation on the other hand....

It's funny you are complaining about that, seeing the OP is a moderator.

Get me the textures of the models and I'll give you back Zombies..... while I don't have much time for modeling and working on a map, my Photoshop skills are 733t and can make anything when it comes to Photoshop..... very quickly mind you.

3 years as a photo retoucher/restorer, graphic designer for the last 10-11 years for sign companies and advertising..... while I have formal training and education in animation and 3D modeling, textures are my strong point.

I don't have time for modeling and animating or level design..... but I can pump out textures in minutes & my attention to detail is a bit sick sometimes..... and with Zombies.... you're damn right those are going to be detailed.

Would you like your Zombies with or without maggots?

They ought to be enhanced with a particle effect (replace the blood from the regular game version with "maggot particles" that fly off the zombie).

I'm disgusted with myself for actually posting in this thread.
