The Game Left 4 Dead by Valve is very awesome. It takes place in a Zombie infested city and 4 survivors have to make their ways to various safe rooms and then a helicopter to escape. Versus mode can hold up to 8 players. 4 players play as the survivors, and the other 4 play as one of the 4 "Boss Infected" The 4 boss infected are the following Hunter- A special infected wearing a hoodie, can jump very high and use his pounce ability which pins a survivor and only other survivors can save him. Boomer- A big fat special infected which can puke on survivors, once puked on, an entire horde of infected jump whoever is puked on Smoker- A tall infected. It has a very long lasso tounge which can grapple survivors and choke them. Once killed it lets out a toxic fume which can damage survivors. Tank- This is a very special infected, the game randomly chooses an infected player and puts them into tank. It's very giant one which can rip things about and throw things. It has a very large amount of health. Here is my idea. Make a city themed map like from left 4 dead. Have 4 players spawn and have 4 alpha zombies. The rest would be normal infected. The survivors would spawn in a safe room and have to make their way to the next safe room. Each alpha zombie could have a different ability. We could probably spawn each alpha in a certain room. In that room there is a powerup for a special infected. The camo could be hunter, and overshield could be for boomer and tank, and the custom could be designed to fit the smoker theme. Lets say if thay shoot off a fusion coil, that could make the horde know the survivors are around, so every zombie would rush in and try to kill. And the survivors would have to hold out for around 5-10 mintues before the round is over. This is just the start of this idea, if you have any suggestions please comment.
An interesting idea, but here's my interpretation of how things should work. Hunters should not need the active camo, but do require a sword so they can lunge at the humans. They should probably get the custom power-up so they can be faster and jump farther like they do in the game, but I think the tank needs it more for it's major health bonus. Also, if you use it, the custom power-up should also give them a forced color of black, like the hoodie they wear. The Boomer should not get an overshield, because they are really weak in the actual game (only 50 health while every other special infected has at least 250). It should probably get a flare to throw at the humans, because the vomit in the game blinds the humans, and the bright light can alert the zombies where they are. The smoker... I'm not quite sure about. It's a long range type of attacker so... maybe a beam rifle or spartan laser? You just can't imitate the smoker constricting a survivor to death, it just isn't possible. Maybe give it a fire bomb grenade to imitate the damage from the gas that kills him. The Tank, it needs a gravity hammer. It probably should get the custom power up instead of the overshield, it needs the overly large amount of health. I'm not quite sure how to imitate the rock throw, infinite grenades? Just make sure that it's not too fast, about the same speed as the survivors will do.
Wait, in alpha zombie, how do you separate normal and alpha zombies to spawn at the start? Or is there a special selection to make it so that there are only 4 alphas and the rest normal?
yeah, there is a amount of alpha zombies to change, but wait, you right, there is no choice for an Alpha Zombie spawn point. God.. We gotta figure something out.
