Expand Zombie Mode with New Variants and Content

  You have a fucking gem on ur hands Saw a couple comments from the devs about wanting to move away from doing straight "zombies" and I really hope that doesn't mean scaling the mode back, because what you've actually got here is way more unique than a normal zombies mode and it deserves to be treated like it, not shelved. No other game can make a horde mode feel like this, the whole bodycam presentation already makes it feel like found footage of something actually happening, that alone puts you in a different category than every other zombies clone out there. Timing is kind of perfect too. BO7 just finished and it was blast, but even with a good game out there's still a chunk of the zombies crowd itching for something different to sink their teeth into alongside it. That doesn't happen often. The round based horde thing has basically been one flavor for like 20 years and there's a whole audience right now actively looking for a new place to put their attention. Slap an actual original horror concept on top of what you've already built and you're not just adding a mode, you could genuinely start a cult following. Don't be scared to go fantastical either, that's not a contradiction with the realism, it's the formula. CoD was always known as this grounded, realistic military franchise, campaign was serious, multiplayer was serious, and then out of nowhere WaW drops zombies in there, wonder weapons, mystery box, all of it. The whole reason it became a cult thing is that contrast, a franchise everyone saw as grounded suddenly having this fantastical mode living inside it. Bodycam takes that even further because the game already feels so real, so close to your own skin, that zombies on top of it just feels insanely cool in a way it can't in any other shooter. That's the whole reason to lean into fantastical instead of away from it. One idea: HUD through upgrades/perks. The game barely has UI, so perks that earn a HUD element, like a radar or heartbeat monitor. h

  A lot of players bought the game like me for the Zombie gamemode, but why removing it and making players wait 2 MONTHS to try it while the game is put on promotion for the new update, At least give us access to the previus build, So we can enjoy the game for what we paid please.

  i want to know if bodycam the game will ever feature an extraction or battle royal mode. since they already have zombies maybe instead of a simple gas zones, like other games, there would be a horde zone that is being hit with NBC air strikes so the people outside of the specified zone would face an increasingly strengthening horde as well as airstrikes which would progressively make it impossible for people to just stay in the restricted zones. Staying in restricted zones can yield certain gear like antidotes, coded locations and passwords for bunkers that have exclusive loot. to keep the loot you would have to be successfully extracted (only one person/team can be extracted).

  cause why not.

  I think the hospital map used in multiplayer would be great addition to zombies and making an extraction point where once you call in evac the next 5 rounds become more difficult so it's a real challenge to escape the area. also adding in crawlers just so it's not all just walking dead. It would be cool to have an easter egg with NPC to guide beginners through and then like halfway have the NPC die or get separated to then have it relied on the players from then on out. I think the 1 hit death penalty is a bit much and that there should be a timer from the point of bite/hit that your teammates are also aware of before you die/turn.

  adding a campaign that can be single player or co op and can have its own base functionality with its own leveling system and reward system and up gradable components and achievements and Easter eggs would be so amazing and getting to decide between stealth or going in loud would be great and having a vault room like in payday so you can actually see your currency in game build up. and it could maybe be like an open worldish with factions and can clan up for your own faction in the campaign with your friends. and also have unique unlock able zones in your base or something kinda like garden warfare 2. and you could even introduce med kits and a backpack system kinda like surroundead or dayz but without making it super complicated. i think this would all really boost the amount of content added to the game and give more inspiration for stuff along the way. i really love deep amounts of content like that where you cant find it in any other game out there and especially with how innovative and unique this game is i think it would really be glorious and a huge flex against cod

  •add nvg when it turns dark the flashlight actually hurts my head when I played before because I keep having to turn my body and each time that small little light just didn’t help and just gave me a headache instead • Add actual boss battles like with abilities and moves that can actually make it challenging with actual health on the top like a real boss battle. Most of the the boss fights that we did were not really boss fights they were ok as best all they did was run at you and all you have to do was shoot them down like come on no one wants to replay that we need boss battles that change up their patterns and give us a real swing of things • For the new attachment system you can have like weapon attachment bench a area like our safe point or something where we can get ready to go to the next area and where we can buy guns too • Add a point system for each time you kill more zombies you can buy better weapons it is like money for the game. • When I played the old zombies mode I had to turn on all the generators right we all had no clue what we were doing my teammates were lost just doing nothing We need to have a basic rework of this maybe given us better navigation through the areas making us understand where to go like giving us a map or something perfect using the tablet as a map would be nice These are just some ideas that will fix zombies mode. It doesn’t need a full rework it just needs to be fully tuned for replayability that it and if you want add a couple modes and like a pve mode where it’s a lot of zombies vs people where we have to loot for stuff last team standing wins or solo

  I think it would be nice to have some sort of simple transportation for the Zombies maps, as they can be quite large and have a lot of going between locations. I think something like a 4-wheeler (ATV) that can seat two players would be cool to have. It would spawn in random locations each time you load the game, and you also have to find a fuel tank in another random location, and bring it to the ATV to get it running, all while being chased by zombies. It would add some suspense and risk, with an awesome reward of quick transportation if you manage to pull it off. There should be two per map, so if you have 4 players, you don't leave two of them at a disadvantage. It would also make it easy for two or three players to still get around. In singleplayer, if you flip one of them, you still have a chance to get the other one going, if you survive long enough. I think the passenger on the back of the ATV should also be able to shoot behind them while moving (just be careful not to shoot your driver in the head). If an ATV seems too OP, a golf cart would also be a good option. Quick, seats two, but limited to smooth terrain. You have to be careful where you go, and pray it doesn't run out of gas if you drive too long. I think there should be a limit to how much you drive, dictated by your fuel gage. So be intentional and plan your route before driving away. The vehicle physics don't have to be hyper-realistic, but should be easy to mount and control. I think this idea should be Zombies only as the regular maps are small and tightly packed; a vehicle like that wouldn't make much sense.

  The current zombie models look and sound more like gargoyles than zombies. I suggest replacing the current zombie models with more realistic, decaying human corpses. They could have different stages of decomposition, different behaviors, and different vocalizations: some moaning in pain, some screaming, some growling. All of the sounds should still feel distinctly human, using harsh or distorted vocal techniques rather than artificial sound effects layered over the voices. Early infected in "The Last of Us Part I / II" are the best reference

  I havent played it yet, but I am really looking forward to the zombies mode, and even though im not a game developer, I know how difficult it can be to multi task 2 very heavy projects. It would be great to see a program implemented, or endorsed, to enable us to keep creating custom maps made by the community for the zombies mode. Even if its simple enough to be put on a Steam Workshop page. The why: Im sure weve all seen what wonders this has done for Call of Duty titles, and I think it would be a really enticing implementation to the game. It would undoubtedly boost numbers for the sales of the game, while simultaneously increasing longevity of its current AND new players. Obviously, Rome wasnt built in a day, but its an idea that I would put on my christmas list. Best of luck, love the game so far!

  Guts&Blackpowder is a Roblox game where you and a squad of army men go trough hordes of demon like zombies during the 18th century and advance with antique weapons like muskets, flintlocks, blunderbusses and swords to your objective such as escaping from paris and other ones.

• Jace14 Sept

  wouldn't it be cool if we would have to coop to rescue or escort civilians during zombie outbreak on a few maps? maybe add civilian extraction part to it as well

• Mj14 Sept
