I can't really say I was impressed by any of them. As far as I could see, there wasn't much too innovative or interesting. |

Not going to lie I'm a little disapointed. I think I might cry tonight. |

Well... They aren't very special... I was going to submit mine but its not finished and I have exams so its not going to be finished for a while... anyway as I said before none of these are espesially breathtaking and almost seem to be afterthoughts Edit: I agree with MLC |

Definitely Better Zombies Firelock - Okay. Can dash with Z. Still, the Sword has ammo (hint use -1 ammo next time). Zombie Head Hunter - Again okay. Cool sniper. Wraith - Very cool concept. Works barely. Cool effect with the emitters. Riot Zombie - Big and mean. Very nice. Offsets a little screwy. Sprites great. Plasma Zombie - Cool effect. Not sure how it relates to the "undead theme" in that it's a zombie (should be called a ghost?) but plus points for being like Gish and fun to play with. 7/10 Dracula 2.0 - I like this. It doesn't have all that great sprites. The Gameplay with it though was a good experience. Body slamming and and avoiding enemies in narrow hallways are good emergent mechanics. Simple concept, bad sprites, great execution 8/10. Heavy Zombie - Sprites were okay. Rest was meh. Legion of the Resurrected Skeleton - We already have one of these. Skeleton Knave - Skeleton, but with a backpack? Maybe if you quickly turn around the bullets hit the backpack. Zombie - A zombie that can recharge health. Meh. Undead Colossus - Two actors in one? Coulda done that better. After looking through the code on Dracula it used two actors in one but somehow made it seamless. Also when accidentally hitting the fire button, it explodes. Couldn't keep it alive long enough to test its true function. Sprites look fantastic so... cool. DOH! Shoulda deleted that group. Zombiebot - Does everything it's advertised to do. Also it's cool. Really cool. Zombie Apocalypse Bob himself - Cool. Nice jetpack, nice chainsaw, and cool gun. Zombie - Arms out. Cool. (Same description as Bob?) Bob's Vortex Bomb - Where have I seen this before...? Notes: Was there a mission or a skirmish or something that was supposed to go with this...? Skelepult - Hahaha awesome. Invocation - Kills the guy who uses it, makes a little dot that draws a pentasomething, and then EXPLODES! Bone Bomb - Lllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggggggyyyyyyyyyyy |

Except for the Plasma Zombie, which isn't really a zombie, I can't say I particularly liked any of them. The bone bomb is just an ugly, underpowered map wipe. The Bob mod is shoddily done, contains little new content, and is painfully easy to see who made it. I dearly hope that he did it just as a joke, because this kind of thing is unacceptable. Better Zombies isn't bad, but it isn't particularly good either. The headhunter zombie is absolute garbage by the way. It can't stand even with an empty inventory. One of the two that I actually liked was the Plasma Zombie, and it is hardly a zombie at all. Awesome that it is, it really shouldn't be in this contest. The "zombie" nametag and brain sprite were just tacked on so that it would qualify as supernatural. Dracula 2.0 wasn't bad I suppose, the bat transformation was cool, but the actor seemed kind of useless and unwieldy. I did like the Invocation alot, but the end result is underwhelming, and they should have added more than fire and skulls for such a long buildup. If there had been more to it, this definetly would have gotten my vote. The Skeleton Catapult. I want to like it, but I can't. If it shot actual ragdoll-y skeletons, or team 0 actor skeletons, then I would be more intruiged. But instead, it is nothing but a stiff, skeleton shaped crossbow. Oh, and the Undead Collosus. Completely retarded. It dies falling out of a dropship, getting hit by the dropship's exhaust, getting shot to death by 3 bullets, or the one time I got it down safely, and got to use it; I fire its gun, it shoots itself in the back of the leg, does an involuntary backflip somehow, and dies. I vote for Plasma Zombie, even though none of these really deserve it.

First of all the only thing i think deserves a better script is the collosus.  It NEEDS a better script WHICH IT CAN WALK AND FIRE. First of all a coaliton guy (prob) with no arm and resprited attached to A crab? Change the offset of the gun atleast. Also IT CANT SURVIVE LONG ENOUGH TO DO ANYTHING. I put it on the editor scene on metal blocks and when i put the brain under the blocks the damned thing exploded?!?!  what ON EARTH? something that costs 250 shouldn't be so useless, btw whoever made this DID YOU TEST IT  . (dont respond or you can get disqualified)

Well gentlemen, it would appear that the bottom of the barrel has been well and truly scraped. Nothing here worth a vote. |

Used zalo's post as a template. Definitely Better Zombies - Maybe keep. Firelock - Fine I guess. Zombie Head Hunter - The paths/offsets seem a bit off. Wraith - Copy the aim angle you fool. Also could fall off the map. Ahh, works much better with my slave chip code. Don't make it controll doors, btw. Riot Zombie - Offsets were odd. Nice though. Plasma Zombie - Awesome. Movement is wonky in confined spaces. Probably due to the ring being a part of the actor. Strange, not affected by area checking Lua. Eh. Still keep. Dracula 2.0 - Didn't like the aiming issue. Other wise fine. Keep. Heavy Zombie - Heavy my ass. Gibbed when it came out of the dropcrate. Lacks a jetpack. Delete. Legion of the Resurrected Skeleton - Resprite. Meh Skeleton Knave - Resprite with a pack on the back. Zombie - Regenerating zombie. No sprite changes. D: Undead Colossus - Nice sprite. Completely broken. Delete. Zombiebot - Does everything it's advertised to do. Also it's cool. Really cool. Zombie Apocalypse - Nice job, good small pack. Nothing innovative, and the bomb is a bit on the laggy side though. Keepish. Skelepult - Lol. Alot of recoil though. Delete. Invocation - SLOW. Then a nice bang. Delete. Bone Bomb - Hrm. Just a bomb. Delete. |

How unfortunate that most of these entries seem (very)unpolished. I think that the plasma zombie is undead because it's so old that it's only dark energy left, or something like that... My personal favorite of the entries, albeit a bit jittery. |
