Battlefield 3 Zombies Concept

BF3 Zombies Base Rules

Humans: Always the US team, no vehicles. Class restrictions are as such:

Assault: 3 medic drops, no revives.
Engineer: No rockets.
Support: 3 supply drops, no mortars.
Recon: No restrictions.
All: No SUPR specialization.

Zombies: Always Soviet team. Recon class with a Spawn Beacon, knife only (hold melee buttonto keep it out). Any specializations, but either SPRNT or COVR would probably be best.

Teams: Humans start with a squad of 2-4, with a H:Z ratio of 1:3 or 1:4. The zombies will be in squads of 4.

Setup: When the game starts, there will be 5 minutes to set up before the game actually begins. The humans may use this time to strategize, and the zombies will use this to set up their spawn points. The zombies will place their spawn beacons INSIDE a building (otherwise the zombies would be parachuting in) at least ~100 meters from the humans (just guess).

Games should probably be held in team deathmatch on Infantry maps.


That's all I got. Any suggestions?

It takes 2 frontal knifes to kill someone and the humans will still just mow you down before you even get close.

Ya I'm sorry to ruin it but Battlefield 3 would be literally impossible in this game.

This game will bring so many military game modes though...

ya it takes 3 hits with full health

@meatshield I know, that's the biggest fault atm. We could take over a public server, but there's no way to kick players, so we would need to completely fill both teams and make sure no one quits, which would be super unfair to the zombies.

@andrew & jawbuster That's another major problem, what with the natural health regen and all. Essentially, the zombies' best chance would be to flank and attack from behind, which would require coordination between squads that I'm not sure people could manage :/

Not to mention I'd be going with the honor system with the med/supply bags. In any case, this will have to stay theoretical until (if) consoles get the ability to make private games.

We can still do game modes like Slashermans one and
@ James how did u get that sig i want one ?

Sorry, don't mean to shoot down this idea with an ICBM but this would never work.

Not that custom games wouldn't work.

Could bring down the human health to a specific value prior to the start. Still, servers are fucking terribad right now.

Well they said on their forums that they are working to get baseline private servers for PC, no doubt they will come for console as well. Typically most private servers on other PC BF games are privately owned, so if they are putting the effort on the PC, no doubt they will for the console version as well.

it would be a good idea if you get knife you become infected but we gotta wait until private matches comes out

I wish "/

The only way you could do zombies would actually be old school UX zombies, where there are four or so on the human team, they survive for as long as possible, they die, they go back into the fray, since there's no teams over 12 so they might as well.
