Dead Frontier; A zombie MMORPG

Well, I have lately become addicted to a new zombie MMORPG called Dead Frontier. A text adventure version of the game can be found in the non-member's games section: http://s1.zetaboards.com/Road_To_Nowhere/pages/deadfrontier/, but the real game is here: http://fairview.deadfrontier.com/. It's a top-down (a.k.a. bird's eye view) zombie shooter set in the fictional city of Fairview. You play as a survivor of the zombie apocalypse and must scavenge the city for food, medical supplies, medicine, and money (used to trade with other players at the outpost). Character customization is a bit lacking when it comes to your appearance, but this is a minor issue. Stats and weapon skills are done nicely, allowing you choose what type of weapons you want to specialize in. You can also choose your profession, which gives certain bonuses (such as extra xp per kill, bonus starting cash/equipment, or stat bonuses). Some professions have unique skills. Doctors can increase the effectiveness of medical supplies, Engineers can repair armor, and Cooks can increase the effectiveness of food. I have not gotten too far into the game, but most of the time (at least in the zones near the outpost) zombies only come at you one or two at a time. There are times however, when they come at you non-stop and don't give you a chance to stop for looting, which is why it's very important to stock up on ammo before leaving the outpost. While you can find ammo while looting, it is not guaranteed that you will find what you need. Below is a video I put together of a rather hectic zombie onslaught that I failed to survive. :( Included in the video is the intro to the game that explains the outbreak of the zombie virus, and a song that I think goes fairly well with the game (plus it's the only one I have that was neither too short or too long for the video).



And here's a few screenshots of the non-action portions of the game:

Below are all of the known types of zombies in the current version of the game (which is still in beta). There are other zombies that appeared in earlier versions of the game, but no longer exist, so I am not listing them here. The information below is taken from the Dead Frontiers Wiki.

Posted Image Kid Zombie ~ 9 HP / 10 EXP

Many children were infected during the first zombie outbreaks. Many more were easily killed by survivors soon after, and still more child zombies emerge from dreary buildings every day, walking reminders of what many of the citizens of Fairview had lost during the outbreak. Pre-pubscent bodies being fragile, they are easily dispatched.

Posted Image Female Zombie ~ 22 HP / 15 EXP

Mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, wives, and friends who lost their lives in the early stages of the zombie outbreak. They retain no memories of their former lives and attack any and all humans, even ones with whom they shared the deepest connections with. Survivors who recognize their loved ones have had trouble killing them, and those that have say it's one of the darkest moments they will ever experience.

Posted Image Naked Female Zombie ~ 22 HP / 15 EXP

Some humans were seemingly caught naked while being transformed from infection into the monsters they now are. Many speculate that these undead females were once call girls and prostitutes who were still on duty when the epidemic struck. Like Sodom and Gomorrah before it, Fairview is burning for all its sins. Sick parodies of the human ideals of beauty, these undead women walk about the familiar streets they once patrolled so very long ago.

Posted Image Male Zombie ~ 26 HP / 15 EXP

Much tougher than the female and kid zombies, because they are less affected by knockback and deal more damage. Their additional muscle mass enables them to take a lot of punishment, so beware of male zombies if you are not certain you will win in a fight with one.

Posted Image Male Naked Zombie ~ 26 HP / 15 EXP

Some humans were seemingly caught naked while being transformed from infection into the monsters they now are. These unfortunate men were caught taking a shower, sleeping naked, or buying a prostitute's services when the epidemic struck. They now prowl the streets with the clothed zombies.

Posted Image Female Fat Zombie ~ 32 HP / 20 EXP

Slightly weaker than a male fat zombie, identifiable by the blue shower cap it wears. Fat zombies are very resistant to knockback and weak hits such as a non-critical chainsaw or knife hit won't interrupt its attacks nor be able to stop them once they're coming for you. They were hungry in life, and now they're even more hungry in death.

Posted Image Male Fat Zombie ~ 36 HP / 20 EXP

These are the strongest of all normal zombies that can be found near the outpost. Like the Female Fat Zombies, they are not knocked back or interrupted by weak weapons and should be fought with caution. Their body seems to be mainly a bunch of fat, but there's a good bit of muscle within that as well - that mixture makes them both powerful and quite resistant to most weaker attacks.

Posted Image Crows ~ 5 HP / 18 EXP

Crow - Whether they are birds that have been feeding on infected flesh and are infected by an avian strain of the N4 virus, or are just driven by extreme hunger, the crows of Fairview are known to attack survivors. They are weak, but can fly over any terrain, and do massive damage, as they hit exposed areas on a survivor's head and neck. They cannot fly indoors.

Posted Image Female Purple Zombie ~ 45 HP / 72 EXP

Female Charred - The weaker one of the two purple zombies, recognizable mostly by its size. Female purple zombies deal significantly more damage than normal zombies and have slightly shorter reach. Purple zombies are believed to be burned, as they are often found in large bonfire piles.

Posted Image Male Purple Zombie ~ 54 HP / 72 EXP

Male Charred - The male counterpart to the purple family is more heavily built than its female counterpart. Purple male zombies are less affected by knockback than normal male zombies, and deal a lot more damage.

Posted Image Red Zombie ~ 90 HP / 96 EXP
Mutant - A red zombie, with more muscle and a grotesque, almost alien appearance, is a dangerous foe by any standards. When he gains speed he is a force to be reckoned with. Compared to normal and purple zombies, red zombies do a lot of damage when they hit you. This kind of zombie was first seen about 20 blocks away from the outpost. Furthermore, some people have been fooled by these zombies into thinking they are Long-Armed Red Zombies - both are much larger than their unmutated comrades and nearly have the same appearance, their only difference is that Long-Armed have their arms jutting out much further, obviously.

Posted Image Fat Red Zombie ~ 135 HP / 120 EXP
Mutant - The fatter version of the Red Zombie. Don't be fooled - they are harder to kill and knock back due to their many layers of protective fat and corrupted flesh. The "downside" of their additional strength and resistance against hits is that they move slightly slower than regular red zombies. At about 30 blocks away from the outpost, fat red zombies were spotted.

Posted Image Long-Armed Red Zombie ~ 180 HP / 156 EXP
Adv. Mutant - These zombies are far stronger than both red zombies and their fatter counterpart and have replaced the shiny red zombies. Their long arms extend their reach of melee attacks quite a bit, so being a skilled runner will help. They are thought to have grown long arms as the result of eating the bones, and therefore the calcium, of their prey. It is more likely, however, results of mutations from exposure to N4. Long armed zombies are only found in the farthest Northern and Southern reaches of the city. It is said that those survivors who use weaker weapons have suicidal tendencies.

Posted Image The Green Zombie ~ 280 HP / 600 EXP

Irradiated - These rare zombies appear at random, usually somewhere near the outpost, mostly seen in buildings. They shamble like their allies at first, then run faster at you, as they take damage. You can always search their bodies after they die and you will probably find blood samples, armor, weapons, or other low level items from them.

Posted Image The Green Muscle Zombie ~ 500 HP / 900 EXP

Irradiated Charred - Recently a much stronger version of the green zombie appeared near the center of Fairview; the Green Muscle Zombie. They look about the same as a Purple Zombie but pack a much heavier punch. They are rumored to be more common than the the fat green and the long armed green zombie, but carry less valuable items with them in comparison. Don't confuse them with normal green zombies, as they look similar, but they are darker and the power difference is enormous.

Posted Image The Fat Green Zombie ~ 800 HP / 1,125 EXP

Irradiated Mutant - The fatter counterpart of a green zombie, they are much stronger, as well as slower. Fat Green sightings have been reported only a few streets away from the northeast and southeast extremes of the map. Like any other green (Boss) zombie, they raise the aggression and attention of nearby zombies by large amounts so killing and looting Fat Greens will be much more difficult due to their rare appearances having been only reported in the most dangerous of areas.

Posted Image The Long Armed Green Zombie ~ 1,000 HP / 2,250 EXP

Irradiated Adv. Mutant - This is currently the toughest as well as the second rarest kind of zombie known by any survivors. Not only do they possess enormous strength, but long armed red zombies always surround them like minions. This is because the few reported appearances of this species of zombie happened at the northeastern end of the sector nicknamed Death Row. Even if you manage to kill it, you will still be surrounded by lots of long armed red zombies, which want to avenge their master by not letting you loot it so easily. If you wish to fight one, high agility and endurance is strongly recommended. If you happen to find this beast and lack agility, endurance, and courage you are recommended to your arse back to the outpost as soon as possible because of massive amounts of aggro that always appear with this monster.

Posted Image The Behemoth ~ 1,500 HP / 12,000 EXP

Nicknamed "Big Red", the Behemoth is an extremely nasty mutant. Theories of its/their origin range from a rare individual having the right genetic blueprint to mutate into this lifeform, a new strain of N4, or a biological weapon let loose by insane, evil corporations. It is possible that this was the very first human to be infected, due to the fact its condition is much farther advanced than other zombies. Large spikes can be seen protruding from its back and arms, and its muscles and skeletal system are no longer human, increasing its height to an estimated 16 feet and giving it ungodly amounts of strength and speed. Rumors say that it walks through the city day and night, always following the loudest noises of dying brethren, but these are, like every rumor, unconfirmed, and used to scare children (and wanna-be explorers). So you may run into the Behemoth, just after slaughtering several groups of zombies nearby, but it may also find you randomly. Fleeing and surviving hunters tell that they run faster, once angered and heavily damaged. A few others even tell tales of having found precious items after slaying them in harrowing engagements, but no one ever found a dead Behemoth even near these battlefields, nor anywhere else. There are theories that this may mean that they possess great regenerative powers, and there may only be one singular Behemoth. It may be what caused the old helicopter to crash, as part of the last radio transmission was: "MOTHERF***ING, HUGE MOTHERF***ER!"

Here's my latest zombie killing video. In this one I have upgraded to the M16, but I am fighting purple and red zombies now, whereas in the previous video I was fighting mostly grey zombies with some occasional purples if I remember right. Anyway, this one uses the song "Help I'm Alive" by Metric. Oh....I didn't survive this battle either, but it went on for about 11 minutes.

A small update on this game...For those of you that don't already know, the game will be going "3D". It's not true 3D in the sense that you can change camera angles and go into 1st person view, but the graphics shown in the demo are a definite improvement. From what I understand the 3D version will be released in July, but I am not 100% certain of this. You can play the 3D demo on the Dead Frontier website, but don't expect to be amazed just yet. It's a very early demo with no zombies that is just intended to give you an idea of what it will look like. You might as well just watch the demo video below instead of actually playing the demo. :lol
