The zombies are getting smarter...again

[Dark Giraffe]

So i saw this post a while ago on how the zombies are getting smarter throughout the zombie storyline

(reaching through windows etc. etc.)

and then i watched the call of the dead trailer and saw that the zombies where using the zip lines...

what do you think about it? (sorry if this was discussed, this is my first post.)

[Beware of the Docter]

Hi! And welcome to CODZ, wondered why I'd never seen you. [brains] just cause I hate seeing members with 0 brains. Unless they're trolls. Back on topic, yes, I beleive Verruckt had the most evolved zombies. Maybe CoTD will change that. Have fun on the forums

Peace out... 8-)

[TaylorGangSoFly]

i have to agree with Doctor and say Verukt's zombies were the most evolved. [brains] to you Doctor

[RedDeadRiot]

Idk, when the ascension zombies busted out a spetsnatz roll when they were running at me i got a little sketched out. Der Riese zombies would climb over the fence by the mainframe too :/

I def think these will be the smartest zombies though.

[oATFg]

well they are obviously more evolved!!

one of those bastards learned how to use a freakin weapon

[Cryo70]

Verruckt zombies were really annoying bastards that made Ascension zombies look like just annoying bastards.

I think the zip line will be the only way to get from one side of the map to the next. Hence why zombies must be able to use it.

[Scorpion]

But I thought that these zombies were fake, but real. As in, it's all a renact movie role.

Verrukt was the map that made me keep a distance from the windows.

[dikkiedik1992]

i just hope they can't out glide you on the zip line xD.. otherwise you would be fucked.

but i thinks its kinda strange why zombies can hold on the zip line for such a long time.. wouldn't there arms break or hands burn of the rope. lol

[soriku90]

where exactly was it seen that they can hold weapons now...?

im just curious.

and yeah, looks like they were beginning to learn faster and faster.

in Nacht Der Untoten they were hardly a threat, seeing as they hardly reached through the door (until BO where they patched it an they smack now)

then Verruckt is where they began to swing by the door, and Shi No Numa had the fastest zombies (im guessing they discovered how to run faster?)

and then (as mentioned) in Der Riese they began to climb the fences.

Kino...eh... i didnt see much change other than the fact that they now began to come from ceiling locations too and above buildings....

now...

ASCENSION..

they bob to the side if aimed at (displaying that they discovered if aimed at, they will get shot)

they did the spetnatz roll (probably the same reason as when the move to the side)

and lets not forget that huge jump in the main room if youre on the second floor of the spawn area and theyre down below...

yeah, these look like theyre going to be scary smart =/ :o

Verruckt had the fastest zombies. Shi No Numa actually got a bit of a nerf.

P.S. The day zombies can pick up a weapon and shoot back is the day I hide in a corner and suck my thumb until I get killed at round 2. Oh, it's also the day I like Call of Duty better than Command and Conquer.

[FalcoVet101]

In CotD zombies hang from the ceilings trying to grab you as well. So yes,they are a lot smarter now.

yep yep

I wonder if the main reason the zombies can go down ziplines is because the map is so big you could just go down the zipline and take it easy for a few minutes while the zombies try to catch up seeing as they couldnt use the zipline.

[Agitatedbrain]

How can a zombie go down a zip-ine, there bodies are so badly rotten that they'll

disintegrate on the way down :shock:

[KAOS_Shogun4489]

Most of the zombies on this map are partially frozen guys

so they CAN use the ziplines cause they've got semi-frozen bodies. Not frozen like Winter's Howl frozen, but there's ice sickles and obvious signs of snow on some zombie beards.

....heh. Zombie Beards. :lol:

[Tehredfield]

They also have seem to have learned to crawl faster and regenerate, (i.e die and go back to a window)

They also seem more predictive of paths your taking, cutting corners alot more and putting more pressure on you whilst your running away. The regeneration thing is proberbly just treyarch cutting down on crawlers wasting away. Next thing you know they will be in wheelchairs instead of crawling.

If they learn how to use weapons that would be freaking fun!

Well, considering the George Romero wields a stage light, i'd definitely catagorize him as "A Zombie That Learned How To Use A Weapon"

Thus, making him the most advanced zombie, considering he can also take the zipline and who knows what else

True. Im not gonna lie,George is a bit annoying but it also keeps the game more interesting. No more campers cause hell find you!!lol

[The Clay Bird]

i also dont think its a coincidence that the zombies have looked more and more "dead" each and every map. in original waw nacht der untoten they looked almost human except with glowing eyes and little bit of flesh woulds. but in call of the dead they look like straight up monsters.

and just curious what about the zombies in verruckt make you guys describe them as the "most evolved"? just wondering havent played it in a long time

[sickmyduck]

verrukt was the first level that ever featured the "sprinting" zombie, one that WILL outrun you if your not sprinting directly away from it.

and yes, i was sad to see that they're deff back in cotd lol

the zombies can use the ziplines mostly to balance the fact that they actually take you a LONG distance, it would definitely be a huge edge to have if they couldn't.

flipping george is useful tho, and kind of :lol:

[SgTxConnor]

Yeah the zombies are definitely getting smarter.

NDU - Dumb as a post

Verruckt - Breaking through walls

Shi No Numa - Reaching through windows and had the fastest zombies

Der Riese - Climbing up and down things i.e Climbing over the mainframe fence

Kino Der Toten - Coming down from the ceiling (finding a new way to get in)

Ascension - Pulling Spetsnaz rolls and evading your shots

Call of The Dead - Using the ziplines

[Monopoly Mac]

^ Natch Der Untoten zombies broke through walls too and Verruckt had the fastest zombies not Shi No Numa.
