Halloween Update

I'm just writing to let you all know that I'm still alive, and that Dead Frontier will be a getting another large update in the next month or so. Here is what I'm working on right now:
  • New Missions. I'm looking to add total of around 60 new missions to the game. In addition, there will be two new missions per day rather than just the one that happens currently. I apologise that these have been such a long time coming.

  • Larger Inner City with a new, much harder end zone.

  • Increased level cap. The new maximum level will be 220, allowing players to completely max out their stat points.

  • A massive range of new standard (non limited edition) equipment. Everything from weapons & armour to purely cosmetic items. We're looking at close to 100 new pieces in total.

  • Various improvements & updates to the weekly Top PvP and Top Survivor competitions.

  • Dead Frontier: Outbreak 3 :D

  • A bunch of general bug fixes and optimizations to the game client.


----------------------------------------------

I also wanted to use this opportunity to come clean about what I've been doing recently.

[braindump]

I started work on Dead Frontier back in summer 2007. Prior to that I was a small indie game developer, who generally launched a new title every 6 months or so. I always had so many game ideas flying around in my head, that even with these ultra short development cycles, I could never even come close to keeping up with the pace of my own creativity.

Moving over to Dead Frontier was something completely different to me. It became so popular that it would of been a crime to let it stagnate; so I did my best to keep the updates rolling in. Unfortunately I started to find that even as early as 2008 I was itching to work on something new again. At the end of 2009 I essentially rewrote 90% of DF from scratch, which was a lot of fun and helped me to exercise my creative urges all over again.

However in early 2011 I was again desperate to start a new project. I knew that I still had plenty of work to do on DF and that starting something else now would be a bad move. I gritted my teeth and tried to keep myself focused on DF. 

By December 2011 I had finally gotten DF onto much more solid ground, but it was definitely not yet finished. It then dawned on me that DF could never be finished. Even if I put in all the features I planned to put in, that wouldn't by itself keep everyone around forever. I'd always need to add things to DF. My previous plan of finishing DF 100%, and then working on something else would never really work.

So after much deliberation I decided the only way I'd ever have a chance of satisfying my creative side, whilst not letting DF die, would be to try and work on two projects at the same time. And that is exactly what I've been doing. Since the end of 2011, I've been working on a small fantasy duelling game titled "Doom Warrior". I'm doing my very best to split my time equally across the two projects, and I plan to continue doing that for the foreseeable future. 

Whilst I'm sure this news will come as a disappointment to some of you, I want to assure you that this does not mean I'm no longer interested in Dead Frontier. DF has occupied more than 70% of my adult life and it will always be important to me. I always have, and always will be massive zombie fan after all.

No matter what happens with Doom Warrior, Dead Frontier updates (actual features & content, not just LE items) will keep coming every 3-6 months, most likely for the next 5 - 10 years.

  3. Beautiful, glad to hear what's going through your head! I am ecstatic about these features that you mentioned and they will more than certainly be enough to get me playing again in my free time, (sort of not a lot these days though...). After hearing this I plan to renew my GM and resume play! My break is over! I've been itching to get back on anyways! :P Thank you so much for this news!

    thanks

  8. I wonder if this has anything to do with my ticket. Either, thx for still being alive Neil. :)

    ReplyDelete
  9. well it depends. the new weaponsa that are going be release will certainly not be better then corpse or dusk because that'll make them usualess and make lots of players angry for buying them. i think they are more to add to variety. like there is 8? grenade launchers. and each is like 20 points away, he might double that so you can upgrae more times. and this will probably make all the weapons lower in price becuase most people using a greenade launcher with 40 stats required but they have 50 if a newer one comes out that requires 50 they will get rid of the old one by selling it so it'll make them cheaper. untill the people who didn't have them bu ya lot of them in there cheaper price and make it expensive again. but it wont be more expensive then what it is now.

  16. AdminPwn, you should release a new Dusk Items(not available for former dusk winners like myself). All new dusk items would need to have said players go and win Top Survivor or Top Player Killer AGAIN!

    Come now Admin, give me real reason to grind like I did when i was a level 78 and won TS for the 1st time xD(just an idea)

  17. I'm bubbling with exitment.
    Can we have a new cheaper minigun?
    And please make more smg's and aussalt rifles cause the damage on most of them is the same.
    also with pistols.

    I always wanted a new minigun called the EAGLE that did 8DPH and had f***ing fast fireing speed and used 9mm r.but the 9mm r isn't great as no minigun actually uses them and don't make E.Z. harder it's hard already also can we have bosses spawn in outpost attacks that'd be great ooh an O.A.let's see which boss it is today *goes to innercity* SHIIIIT A GS!!!

  19. I hope the missions are implemented soon and are of high quality - I have not been on DF for a few months now as it was just far too monotonous - Im just waiting for a reason to play again - I hope this is it. I love DF and I will no doubt try Doom Warrior when it is ready too.

  23. one thing i have to say. dislocating a shoulder from a fall and using it as an excuse from such an easy job? pathetic. sorry but really you know what happened to my dad? his shoulder actually made him feel so much pain dislocating it wouldn't have hurt much more. and he didn't get it hurt from idk falling. he got hurt from actually using it in a very hard job. and sure if he can't use it then he can't work but really how hard is it to work when all you do is sit down all day and type crap? sorry admin its just that it seems silly to me. and yeah maybe you did feel pain and did work on dead frontier even though of your injuries but that injury wads pretty much your fault so there is pretty much no excuse. well now lets see how many hate comments i get after sticking to the blog and being all nice and stuff. dont worry that is pretty much all the rage i am getting out for now.

    p.s how the crap did i get a crap load of spider web on my hair from stepping out of my van? dafu?

    oh before i post here goes the nice things i have to say

    great admin great i knew you would come around even though i was begging for you to sell df. and uh great updates can't wait. oh and if you put a 3 month subscription on there many more people would buy gm . you know the young teens like me that have a load of time to play during the 3 month summer. wasn't the 13-18 year old group the one you where aiming at getting to play? well now get us to pay! 3 month subscription plan. who agrees?

    one last thing. yeah i was like the first one to comment on the doom warrior release date. i don't remember what i said but it went like this" release 2012? yup that is creaky corpse work alright"

    ReplyDelete
  24. Fuck to the yeah. This is awesome. I might actually get back into the game.

  25. My wife used to tell me she loved me about every 3 months or so. Then the love would fade and then she would say it again. After a few years in got real old.SHE IS NOW MY EX WIFE.If you can't figure out the moral to this story ,,,well,, you must be my ex wife. lol

  26. Adminpwn. This announcement has restored my faith in you. and my faith in Deadfrontier. You have given me a reason to look forward to the few hours of free time i have after school.

    I love you man. (full homo)

    ReplyDelete
  27. I agree with you Luis! be it three or even two (better for me imo , but with no discounts).

    And TBH Admin needs to fix multiplayer lag , i think he still knows it , but just saying.

    Yesterday i was thinking about how rare is .50 ammo in Endzone , i think Admin should do something about that , because .50 pistol ammo is still a TIER 1 Ammo like 12.7mm and 12 Gauge that are commonly found in the Endzone(as opposed to .50 which is quite RARE) , why would .50 need to be different? i can't get it.

    I don't care if you make updates soon or later , just finish your current DF , Adminpwn ! which is : Please fix the horrible MP Sync (It's generally good but sometimes it's unplayable in Multiplayer) and take a look on the loot table about .50 pistol ammo.

    About the ammo i have two ideas for it :

    - Make players find only .50 , so you can't find .45 like you can't find 7.5mm as a GM in the ENDZONE

    - Make pistol ammo be found in higher quantities , atleast 30% more in comparisson to rifle ammo (because the additional 200(800) that pistol ammo boxes have is around 30% of Rifle ammo boxes(600)has.

    Other than that , great post Adminpwn ! and please don't take my ideas/suggestions as if i was giving you an order , it's just that you need to finish the curret DF before expanding it even more ( IMHO).

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. for example : if you find 300 Rifle ammo , if you found pistol it ammo it would be atleast 400 or more.

      Because it's a shame that i have to buy ALL my pistol ( .50) ammo even if its cheap , and unless i carry THOUSANDS of boxes i can't loot too much without having to barricade for more ammo ,and i don't even shoot any other zombies that ARENT in the way of my LOOTS , its depressing , seeing as 12.7mm Rifle users(used to be one when i had the CP) can shoot and loot as much as they want and don't have to buy any ammo (generally speaking).

      I still have some faith in the new update and hope it's for the better , and LOL : harder ez? i thought it was already hard becausae interiors added too much aggro IMO(it's good when you're grinding , but it's rather annoying for looters).

      And nice to see that you're still working to update DF ! :)

      Delete
    2. Jees what pistol do you have i have alpha bull and i never run out i buy like 3000 and then 1 week or so later i still don't need to buy any cause i loot so much of it in E.Z.

      P.S.it's not hard to find .50

  35. Can I suggest ? When it's Chritmas time, there'll be a Christmas Only Boss named "SATAN CLAWS"??? it keeps popping in my mind..

  36. Yes ! Finally , as i said in the before blog post , I did NOT leave DF .... i just left it so I can come back and if there is a new update it will be a nice surprise :)

    But wow .... new armours and all ? Awesome :)
    But harder EZ ? Damn ..... better increase my endurance . But i am a elite looter .....

  37. @AdminPwn : where New Boss ?

    ReplyDelete
  38. this game hates me. im going to the area of the new mission and on the way i start looting a body. and then a few other players enter the area. so whenever a new person goes into that area, more zombies spawn. so a leaper spawns right on top of me when im in the middle of looting, and instantly smacks me in the face and kills me. DF, Y U HATE ME?

  41. One more thing Admin:

    Max Level should be 230 (based on Athlete class) for all stat points to be max. If it is only 220 one of the stats would only be 90.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Certainly looking forward to your plans, Admin.
    I'll be honest and say that I ditched DF quite a few months back because of how repetitive it got. I'm hoping your new updates can rally up not only me, but all the other players who have gone on hibernation from DF.

  43. May I add a request? Make a flamethrower and the ammo is gas. Make chainsaws require gas too just to seal the deal.... what do those chainsaws run on anyway?..

    ReplyDelete
  44. really the discussion was gas would not work by now 3 years after the outbreak but guess what? anyone with a brain would know that gas is usable still in the game. so for chainsaws that are not the grinder or corpse grinder should require ammo. the grinder gets feed with the blood it consumes and the CG with the souls it kills. so i am thinking. something like each gas tank to have like 8,000 gas. and each gas is every hit so if the chainsaws do 8.57 or something per second that is the rate of consumption, price, loot rarety, and amount are all based on admin. 8,000 would last over 16 minutes so how about 2000? it should be near what a real chainsaw can hold. like for how long it is powered with full "increased to max" fuel tank, or maybe make it like ammo. 800 and when that's done you reload. i mean sure the packs can come in sets of 2000 or 8000 but the chainsaw should hold 800? i don't know it make them less useful then now becuase they'd require fuel meaning less inv space and make them like short range ,machine guns

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Then again... We have an XM8 that holds 100 bullets when it actually has a 30 round clip.

      Delete
    2. Uhh no , Chainsaws are already cheap enough and somewhat "hard" to use because they aren't good against Sirens (to kill them if you loot with chainsaws) or brutes.

      Chainsaws already have the drawback of being melee , making them compared to firearms ALMOST useless.That's why they are so cheap , as you need to be careful about irradiated zombies too , Fuel would just make them worse.

      / NO SUPPORT.

      Delete
    3. Lol then what do chainsaws run on? Batteries? Electricity? I dont think there's any electricity.

      Delete
    4. l0l , yup Fuel . BUT , chainsaws are already weak , and UNLESS admin gave them a BIG BUFF it would make them one of the worst weapons to use : melee and with just a bit more DPS compared to SMGs.

      It just doesn't fit well , because being melee is already a weakness , if Admin makes them use fuel they will be Nearly useless =/, most of the time you can't just follow the logic with DF.

      Delete
  45. Another add-on would be hand-held grenades for like 10 grenade skill...

  48. btw , i never left DF . I have my exams so i cant go on DF even if i want to T_T

    Anyways .... another stupid discussion . Gas ? No ! Gas can still be used , but .... there are reasons why they should NOT be used

    1.) They will use inv space .... which sucks
    2.) Who said the game was supposed to be that realistic ?

    Anyways , i wish one of the missions is to take down some peeps in pvp :) You need a lot of money for that though ..... probably 13k ^_^

    1. Right... it doesnt have to be realistic yet you have to feed your character.. SOOO un-realistic am I right?

      Delete
    2. some things that are meant for realism will end up just being more tedious than adding to the difficulty of the game, like this whole chainsaw fuel thing. hunger adds something to the game and it is a pretty important mechanic.

  49. Need increase boss loot quality especially boss on black zone. Killed 3 FGS with 3 shovels from it. Great!!!

    ReplyDelete
  50. nice to know. I really like DF and I'm happy I keep my account alive.

    ReplyDelete
  51. one thing i have to say. please admin amek it so all the spots in the map are used up and this will happen with missions. why waste your time doing 50% of the map when no one will use it? like interiors on 50% of the unused. and most people take the one or two routes set to be most effiencent. i hope you do something to make this areas more unique. like adding increases ammo chances to some but with money loot penalties. not on the whole map just the areas that don't get used very much. not counting mission areas. so if you make it so missions use all the areas then it won't bother me or some of us as much

    ReplyDelete
  52. Is there any chance we may get some interior missions?

    ReplyDelete
  53. Just one thing Admin .... i dont want any time limit
    because I never get much time on the comp :( ( final exams ) .

    2. i doubt he can finish the mission in 30 minutes as well death.>:(. if you doubt he would be playing at 2 in the morning if he has exams why do you think he has enough time? that basically is telling me you think studing takes so long he basically finishes at 2 in the morning

    3. im saying that theres more than enough time in the day to do a mission.but, depending on the mission they can take kinda long i guess. and if he doesnt have much time on the pc he might not be able to.

    4. lol thanks Lol . Also ragedeath , I can finish a certain mission very quickly . It will take someone very long to kill 3 titans but it will hardly take me any time . In fact i can kill 3 titans faster alone than 5 peeps together ... fm mitrail rocks ^_^

      Its just that some of the missions are far away and I sometimes have to get off the comp immediately ..... after playing for like 10 mins T_T

      So i lose time and i am injured and having broken armour -.-

      So id like no time limit ... after all what harm can it do ?

    5. uuhhh titanus... i know youre a pretty good df player, but dont you think saying "i can kill 3 titans faster than 5 other people can together" a little overconfident? it just seems completely impossible for that to happen...

    NO. you fucking moronic asshole. You hire some fucking help and stop being a little bitch just because ONE person ripped you off. People like you make me sick, the past is in the past and you don't even have your brother helping you anymore. Get your shit together. DF is not popular, it's had 2500-3000 players online at any given moment since 2009. It's going nowhere, because YOU are going nowhere.

  55. @ Ragedeath , yes im not overconfident / The peeps i see in that mission are toting lame-ass rifles and machineguns .... and they always attack the mob instead of the titans . I run and allow the titan to follow and when it comes close enough I blast away .

    @Sephiroth : Hey , are you angry because Admin is releasing updates too slowly and not instantly as you want ? Go get lost & STFU and GTFO . HATERS !!! -.-

    I mean seriously , Admin has released some awesome updates ( new weps , new armour , new clothing , new missions ... not 10 or 20 but 60 ! ) . And you still are saying it sucks and all ?

    And peeps wont stop ripping him off . Peeps are greedy like that , the moment they see how much Admin earns ( 400k on a good day ) they think " oh he earns so much and pays such a puny amount to me "
    ( actually it is not puny at all )

    and then they steal the money and split " Hey admin my mother is really sick , and i need to go "

    but what that person does not add is " i need to go .... along with the money " XD

    Anyways peace out Sephiroth . Getting angry for that wont help . Admin DOES have a helper .. Ian / Xaeleth

    @MrAwesomeLuis : Just 2500 people playing !?!? I remember once I had 4001 ^_^

    @Admin : If your so creative ( not hating ) , then why cant you work FULL-OUT on ONE project , then on another ? Like 1 week ... its only DF , then the next week ... its only Doom Warrior .

    P.s : Id like it if you added these stuff

    New areas : Military bases , sewers , substations , GRAVEYARDS ( i luv the idea of killing zombies in a graveyard XD )

    New zombies : uh ......... O_O * drools * .... cant think of any XD

    New Random Stuff : Sharpen your blade .. ONLY BLADES >:( so you can increase the dmg by 1 or 2 points ( when it does a crit hit , its 5 dmg and 10 dmg more )

    Also add a ARENA ... id like it if you can endure waves after waves of zombies , each wave becoming harder . And if you win ... you get a prize ... of like $20,000 ( c'mon , peeps waste so much ammo in there .... so give some money to earn for ammo )

    And if you die in arena , its like the PvP Arena :)

    Id like to see a zombies Hp-%-Meter below the map ... in Percentage ^_^ One : Its nice to see how dmged a zed is and 2.) seeing a zeds hp drop down by using fm mitrail is somehow ... fun XD


    Also make the PvP Arena more better .... me as a lvl 42 is fighting lvl 115 XD I die easily and even if I team up with other lvl 30-40 , i still die easily XD

    Of course , the fm mitrail DOES scratch their armour or at the most ... makes it damaged , but I still lose BAD T_T

    Add challenges in the Arena : Kill a really powerful zombie , or kill 5 wraiths at once ( killed 3 melee solo )

    Also , add private parties ( its NOT instances guys )

    Anyways .... add those stuff :)

    1. Yes for private parties! Been hoping for that for ages...

    2. I don't agree with private cause i woulden't have half of my mates but i think you should only be able to play with peeps who are more or less your lvl unless they or you instance change to them.

      E.G.0-10lvl 11-20 21-30 ect

  56. Why cant you add challenges ? I mean yes , peeps toting a vulcan or HMG ( or even Fm mitrail XD ) can totally pwn the arena ... add some challenges , like killing many zeds with a rifle or melee or something . That way ... its fair :)

  57. btw admin ... you are adding new weps ..... and I dont really have any ideas for that :/

    Heres a superficial wep ; Aggro-Gun :)

    Aggro-gun : Does not do any dmg , does not require ammo , when ' fired ' it releases a sound which attracts zombies and enrages them ( preferably a scream of a dying survivor XD ) causes a shit-load of aggro , and it MAY attract a boss as well ^_^


    When i said MAY attract a boss , i was being cautious . Some peeps just go to EZ to cause aggro and ruin other peeps loot trip ( which is why i go single-player ) ... so this aggro-gun will focus all zombies on ONLY the person who fired it . Zeds can be harmed by others , but they wont attack the others ^_^

  58. I would like private instances =/ , so much aggro when you play with like 5 people or more in the same instance , would be better imo , and you could put a password or write the usernames that could enter your instance , much like a room.

    i hate when i'm looting with my friend and there comes like 2 guys bringing more zombies , and with the terrible MP sync its horrible -.-.

  59. Actually, i understand what admin means when he talks about his creativity and how working on one project gets boring after a while so he's working on two at the same time so he doesnt get bored.
    by bored, i mean when motivation gets low.
    I've made a few games myself in the past 3 years, at first ur like: holy shit this is gonna be awesome
    then ur like: ive been workin on the same thing for a while now....im kinda bored :/
    It's kinda like how we play df, get bored, play something else, and then come back.

  60. HEY!!! THE MISSION "Mow Down" ON FORT PASTOR, ITS BROKE. THE BODY COUNT DISSAPEARED ON 1200 BODIES, BUT THE MISSION WAS STILL ACTIVATED. A LOT OF PEOPLE LOOSE ALL AMMUNITION!!

  61. As thrilled as I am that updates are on the way, I must point out that this is EXACTLY what Admin said before. "Oh hey guys! I'll be dropping 40+ missions in here soon! Hang tight!". Now, after however long it took and how ever many people had to practically jump on him, he releases another SMALL update and the promise of another large update. This is exactly what happened before. I'm still skeptical about Admins true goal, but hey - if he does it this time, then kudos.

    1. For the record I actually had all those missions in the game a couple of days before you wrote this message.

  62. also by the way these missions are being set up. i estimate there will be a new boss mutation soon. maybe in 3 months while admin dsigns them and customize. by that time the normal bosses will become weaker. maybe to a 75% of their healt hand damage. speed might be the same though. and these new bosses while not on fire will be 125% of the ones today. and i expect them to be faster. like all these missions are like. " soldier they mutated!! going kill and get blood sample" okay so now that tells me soon admin is going surprise us like with a mission that says " soldier you will not beieleve this. the damned bastards mutated again! they are stronger and much deadly than before. so the titan would be bonier/faster/ hits faster/ and maybe be a bit skinnier. oh and havn't you noticed how bones and titans seemed to be wearing jean jackets? that makes me think they where part of a gang before being zombies. so yeah the mutations go by. normal<special<mutants like tendrils/bones < mini bosses/Todays bosses<super bosses.

    he might as well add missions oin new zombie type mutations. and like after that he might add like the new zombies have mutated. by this time there would probably be 6 series of missions (series like spider type. tendril type. family type for the guy at p13. and maybe different characters giving you the missions. and maybe even at the same time. like there would be 6 different characters in the labatory or barracks part of the outpost. you will click on them. come to this room with different guys and click on them. then they will give you their mission of the day. for like the soldier at fort he will have his series of missions . then maybe a scientist dude will have his series. and you can take 3 different series missions at a time. once you completed all or 1 you can choose more. and maybe do it based on level. level 0-20= 1 mission at a time with 2 a day max. 20-30 = 2 missions at time with 4 max. and 40-50 3 missions at a time with 5 max. and 50+ 4 missions with 6 max per day. becuase you know there would only be 6 series meaning 6 characters by the time this would be added.

    so come on admin that isn't to hard to do. the system i mean. sure the missions might but you should start now. have like a barrack section where you go to for the right now guys and there series of missions and then maybe another spot saying labatory with some other dudes. this will keep you not bored from doing missions and keep you working with gladness. oh and maybe like a surivor section with some dude who is in charge of giving you search and fnd missions. and hopefully dealing in doors as well. so like the survivors tell him about waht they lost and he tells you. so you both make money. yeah that is just so theres only one dude that you are talking to meaning less designs for the quest givers.

    well now that i am mini-titanus i hope you look at this idea and maybe add some of it. i'll only charge you 10000 credits for using my idea :). lol no just kidding.

    now before i try to post let me copy and paste it somewhere else before it all gets deleted.

    1. pretty sure the first zombie game to introduce a "boomer" type zombie was killing floor. it was called a bloat in that game.

  66. Faster bosses? LOLWHAT? not everyone uses speed drugs 24hours per day , and they are bad for looting (too expensive sometimes).

    They could have more damage per hit , or trickier moves , but faster bosses would be horrible ...maybe even bosses with way more HP , but faster than the Giant Spider or Wraith would be so fucking bad , IMO.

    ReplyDelete
  67. and BTW : The "mutations" are just : regular zombies > Special zombies > bosses , theres no such thing as "mutants" and "mini bosses" , or generally speaking these are the same , tendrils and bones are already a part of special zombies.

    And imo , if admin could bring back some of the bones , replacing them with spiders or something ( but still maintaining them for the fun of it) it would be so cool :) , i miss bones when i played DF before new mutations and guns.

  68. @MrAwesomeLuis ... a.k.a Mini-titanus XD

    Ya thats a awesome idea . But doing 6 missions in 1 day is ... hard . It would be better if we can do 3 missions in one day and they have no time limit . Like in 2D ... we could choose max 3 missions to do and until we finished them , they did not go away ^_^ Thats the only reason why I dont like 3d missions compared to 2D missions .

    Anyways its nice .... 6 peeps in a room ( scientist , soldier , survivor , doctor , farmer and engineer ) and you click on 1 and get a mission . Max ... 3 missions ( from 3 peeps or just 1 peep )

    Scientist : Finding blood samples , taking down a boss to get a tracking device etc . Or killing a new mutated zombie or mutated zombies before they spread
    ( e.g : a irradiated flamer )

    Soldier : Taking down a zombie horde to save the 4 scouts ( e.g : pinned down ) or " there are many zombies flocking in one area ... if they reach the survivors resting there , it'll be a bloodbath . Kill all those zombies " . Like the 2d mission ( kill 250 zombies in South Terrasley ) .

    Survivor : Going to areas to give packages to other survivors , or taking packages from survivors . Or finding a lost person or a item of sentimental value
    ( finding a wedding ring , since the persons wife died )

    Doctor : Blood samples , looting some medicines , looting some packages etc

    farmer : looting food , killing tons of zombies in a area to make it safe ( so peeps can plant food there ... and its not a stupid idea .... think how maize is there , its grown somewhere right ? )

    Engineer : Find machine-parts , test a new gun XD , find fuel etc


    Listen guys , a flamer is a flaming charred zombie . The weakest boss . a irradiated zombie is a zombie that vomits and both mutate together to make a IRRADIATED FLAMER :)

    So the mission is take down all 30 of those zombies in a rectangle of 6 blocks by 10 blocks . And those zombies are ROAMING around , not conveniently in one block after you :)

    So you have to go through all the blocks and find a flaming zombie / flamer roaming around like normal zombies and kill it ( btw , there can be more than 1 flamer roaming in a area ) .


    New Bosses : These are super-strong zombies or just super-powerful zombies..... survivors beware !

    Colossus : A massive zombie , probably the result of the Behemoth virus mixing with the virus of a titan creating a massive zombie who is so strong , it can kill a survivor in one hit ( acutally it cant , its just to dramatize it XD ) . Extremely powerful ( 60k hp instead of flaming wraiths 30k ) but extremely slow . Its huge size makes it hard to move quickly

    Note : This zombie is HUGE . As big as the tank in FP hideout :) This zombie does like 80 dmg .

    @Karak99 : nice idea btw . The behemoth and the behemoth's successor virus mutating to create ... the behemoth's successor's successor XD ( that is , it is the titans successor who is the successor of the Behemoth )


    Irradiated Flamer : a flamer mutating with the irradiated zombies .... can vomit like any other irradaited .



    New zombies : Uh ... N-5 breed . They are smart and they can wield weps . Btw i understand , N-5 carriers are normal peeps , but if that happens .. there will be no new zombies , no N-6 or something ... so its better if we make N-5 smart , but still blood-thirsty

    These zombies wear armour ( really weak .... sports or flak or kevlar ) and wield melee weps . Btw you say it is impossible to dodge it , but no . When it hits , like all other zombies it has to pause ( its still too dumb to move and hit at the same time XD )

    1. the whole n-5 idea is pretty cool. but i still think that some crazed survivor enemy would make a bit more sense. idk. or maybe it can be a zombie that used to be a survivor but was killed(explains why they have armor/melee weapons). just branching off of titanus' idea i guess.

  72. i think about ignoring doom warrior because before playing df my friends were telling to me how amazing was it and i decided not to play it
    but one day i was bored and i registered to check if its really so amazing.and i got addicted,and stopped playing the other browser games i was playing.
    so i think if i play Doom Warrior i will stop playing DF.
